I am convinced Wolff is a secret Marxist-Leninist of the Stalin variety and plays gateway to the masses because the man knows his dialectics. “Competition produces its own negation, monopoly.” Damn. Perfectly summed up.
Marx described socialist society as emerging from the womb of capitalism. Socialism is therefore the child of capitalism and therefore cannot overthrow its parent immediately. It must learn from this parent and eventually replace it. And itself too, in time, will whither away.
Just saw Slavoj Zizek say Lenin wasn’t a real Marxist. I guess I’ll never take him seriously ever again. How can you quote Lenin as a Marxist to prove your points and then say he wasn’t a Marxist? 🤦♂️
America never stood for freedom, democracy or human rights. Capital in its most naked and oppressive peacetime presence, here are some man-made horrors beyond human comprehension, courtesy of Uncle Sam!
In his book Black Reconstruction, DuBois points out that there were Marxists from Germany that moved to America that didn’t want to support abolition. Why?
1. They didn’t think it helpful to free the slaves just to became wage slaves like the white workers.
2. They…
Ok everyone. Help me out. For real.
I’m 32. I live with my gf but besides her I don’t have close friends. I don’t have family in any meaningful sense.
Do you all have actual legit good friends? Am I alone here or is it fucking brutal to make friends at this age?
Just heard Michael Parenti say that anarchistic thinking and hating America is the mirror image of the super patriot (today the MAGA crowd). Wow. Now that I have a better understanding of dialectics I’m learning so fucking much.
Six months ago I wrote my suicide note. I came across it just now. I’m so glad I didn’t go through with my plan. It’s been the hardest year of my life. I didn’t end up where I wanted to be but I’m glad about that now. I’m glad to be alive.
Thank you to everyone who has followed me! A week ago I only had four followers. Who needs a boost? We can normalize Socialist ideas! 🌹

no compromise with capital.
Does this ring any bells?! This is left-wing communism! This is ultra left communism! This is AN INFANTILE DISORDER!
DuBois pointed out that this happened in 1857 and Lenin wrote his book in 1920. A long trend.
Imagine Fidel Castro burning the Cuban flag to light his cigar? No you can’t cause Castro wasn’t a liberal. It’s easy to hate and burn. It’s harder to be men and women devoted to nation and people enough to change.
@ChrisLynnHedges
Marx wasn’t a utopian and the fact that you said that is proof you have literally no clue what Marx wrote. lol
I would recommend a book by Friedrich Engels: Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.
Hey comrades, I really need some advice. My entire family is ultra right wing. It’s getting to the point where they’re defending Gavin McInnes. I already don’t share most of my life with them. I’m reaching a breaking point. All jokes aside how do you all handle your families?
Wow! I learned more in one book than the last two years of being a communist. The last book I learned this much from was Stalin’s Dialectical and Historical Materialism. Not sure I’d start with this but it’s a must for every communist.
Book 10/10
Cover 8/10
He later goes on to say that blindly hating America is basically idealist because this view fails to see the American state as an entity of classes and class interests. Blindly hating America ignores the dialectics of the situation. Wow!
And guess who led the movement calling for these “Marxists” to support the abolition/anti-slavery movement. Karl Marx! Marx was against ultra left communism/left-wing communism just as much as Lenin!
So just remember this disorder leads to supporting slavery. The tradition…
said because the slaves would just become new wage slaves and that would just grow capital, therefore those pushing for abolition actually were just supporting capitalism.
So let me rephrase that. These “Marxists” didn’t want to support slave abolition and their excuse was…
Not even my MAGA parents are rooting for the death of people. There is a major shift in America right now. The “left” is the new right. How is MTG against the war in Ukraine and to the left of Bernie Sanders?
@EdbieLigerSmith
Every time my family sends me something to “prove communism wrong” I become more of a believer so the same reason you present here. Lol
of left-wing communism is the tradition of supporting slavery. The logic is the same today when people say the war is good because both Russia and America are imperialists. Children! Imbeciles! Traitors! Wreckers! Scum!
@MarxMidwest
American Psycho. It’s not socialist in the literal sense but it is a heavy critique on what capitalism does to our humanity and society. It’s my favorite film of all, time hands down.
Why are protests in America not the same as protests in France? Because I’m America the majority of the working class isn’t involved. That’s the difference.
Hello comrades, I am officially homeless thanks to my conservative religious family. I'm recently divorced (my wife left me with nothing). I've never done this but if any of you would be willing to help me out so I can get a place to stay I would be so grateful. $cdekyle
Just saw this book.
So I don’t understand this link between anarchism and fascism and yet both fascists and communists point this out. If anarchism is all about having no state and fascism is about an absolute state how are they similar?
Can anyone help me understand?
This is why communists must stand apart. We must be so distinctly different. We must be calm, cool headed, mature, wise, intelligent, modest etc etc. so these people keep looking crazy.
Stop saying that the current economic conditions are because of Covid. They are because of capitalism. Covid wouldn’t have half the power if it was taking place in a socialist society.
This is pure forgery.
The Hudson Valley club not only never signed on to this but we are unequivocally and steadfastly against this reactionary project initiated by social fascists.
1. He admits the author was a CIA agent. The CIA admitted that Stalin wasn’t a dictator and then lied to the American people for decades that he was.
2. He provides no evidence at all.
3. He references “goals” that go against communism.
Does anyone have any advice from a Marxist perspective on how to find the type of work/career to gives your life meaning and purpose?
I know I want to contribute to the revolution but I just don’t know in what aspect.
I’m not looking for a recommendation on joining a org etc.
Communism takes the best parts of capitalism and discards the worst parts. This is what China is doing. Communism does not seek to destroy capitalism but sublate it.
🇱🇹🥛 Lithuania joins the European family. Farmers in Lithuania are pouring milk on the ground to protest low purchase prices because milk has fallen from 47 cents to 27 cents per liter. Manufacturing costs are 35 cents per liter.
This is a big moment! Cornel West is switching from Peoples Party to the Green Party. Now remember everyone that said they couldn’t support him cause the party he was in. If they change their minds they’re probably honest people. If they don’t they were just wrecking.
This is what Maoists don’t understand. They think that once China became socialist it didn’t have to abide by social laws anymore. Which of course isn’t the case. They mix anarchism and utopian socialism with a Mao aesthetic and think that’s Marxism-Leninism. They lack…
