Althusser explains it much better than I possibly could, but it’s primarily for two reasons. One being the young Marx’s emphasis on productive forces over the relations of production, and the other being the residual Hegelianism he had which of course brought with it certain idealist tendencies

These things make his early writings much more appealing to revisionists, and they tend to over emphasize these over his later works such as Capital (which most of them haven’t read anyway)

Try to explain this to yourself 6 years ago

i was thinking of making that joke

crazy i much rather have Dengist Ye than what we have now

Kanye too (unironically just wait)

This guy I know joined the army and his Instagram stories have made me realize that for most rich countries the army is just a place where young guys go to play pretend in "training exercises".

this them 'struggle sessions' yall talking about?

f*** it im just gonna read Capital, i’ve got to the observing nature part of POS and i give up f*** this pompous ass faggot im praying Hegel is burning in hell

me trying to read Hegel

man hearing about Dostoevsky life in tsarist prison, it’s just insane how cruel they were

Why do communists do so much to critique the choices of the heads of nations (Mao, Stalin) and not the fundamentally collective choices that were made in their stead

Like I get the part of criticizing their theory or places where their individual behavior mattered

But the other stuff

I Need To read more on internal political structure and just how much the decisions these guys made were based on their own directive

i dont think there has ever been a leader that kept doing his thing when the close group didn't agree with it

holy s*** even his tweets read like an out of touch politician trying to appeal to ppl lmao

This is wildly blatant lying even by NYT standards

Does capitalism dictate that to be necessity?

Elaborate

I'm not sure how to explain where I was going with that but for one:

I just would guess maybe stalin and mao would be more interesting to focus on for some people than delving into other leaders because they are so criticized and elevated on that basis, infamy

i really need to stop frying my brain on twitter
