How can Marxists explain why India is so filthy and unhygienic from material analysis? It's not even just slums that are like this but almost all of India expect for a few pockets of gated communities. A lot of poor countries in the middle east reeling from the ravages of war or even fucking sri lanka looks better in comparison. At the end of the day you can't explain this phenomenon without discussing cultural elements. Maybe those cultural elements are rooted in remote history but we don't know and we can never be sure and even if that's true they don't help us fix the issue in the present. Some argue it's cause the local municipal governments are underfunded and understaffed in India compared to countries like china but that's true for sri lanka/thailand too and doesn't explain why Indians themselves willingly shit up their public spaces.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

Actually you can, but that's not what you're fishing for. So, uh, yeah, Indians are stinky barbarians who can't into civilization or something. You're so observant, OP. You got it all figured out.

>>2560964>who can't into civilizationI just think if they can eliminate those bad cultural practices they can be civilized too. I'm not being racist or anything.

It's monism
>>2560961Marx thought real materialism included the social relations between men, but the online left won't tell you about that. They just want Marxist materialism to mean physicalism. Boring.

Purposely underdeveloped country first because of imperialism and later neo-imperialism.

I remember watching some video and explanation for why rural people defecate in the open is ironically cultural believes about cleanness, nobody wants to dig and maintain latrines because it is considered dirty. As for city folk, I imagine if you live in a place with no plumbing you dont have other option.
>why are poor places literally shitholes
