What yall think of the American Patriot s*** thats been going around on the online left

patriotism and state nationalism is a disease and aids imperialism, but you can't say that itt

marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1908/mec/05.htm

"scientific socialism" is a joke

its pretty much him coping about dialectical materialism not working out as well as he thought, and trying to disprove an entire science, because he's mad that it's not falling to his own beliefs

no wonder lysenkoism became a thing, and it did the opposite of materialism, it transcended into idealism and the denial of science, like its forefather

this is also f***ing hilarious, and I recommend people ITT watch it, but I know you won't

dialectical materialism, as understood by most Marxist-Leninists, is a garbage shallow psuedoscience that was just contorted by Lenin to force "scientific" conformity to his beliefs, it's hilarious

yeah relativity is bourgeoise anti-proletarian nonsense because i said so

Just another reminder that state power doesn't care about facts, it will form whatever it needs to be legible to the state apparatus, to benefit them

Lenin is right in being opposed to Machian theories of physics ?

and most "MARXIST"-Leninists prescribe to correct a***ysis through the dialectical materialist framework ?

i just dont get what ur saying here

nationalism is really only valid as a form of anti imperialist thought.

there's no anti imperialist ideology in being proud to be an American

Honestly might have to block sniper until he realizes that considering the state that the world is in today, MLs won't be the main obstacle for any anarchist revolution

He's become insufferable

ik ur a big christian and learning about socialism so i thought id mention liberation theology to u.

imo Marxism also follows the essential will of the holy spirit too tho im not very much religious

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_communism
“Christ led me to Karl Marx, I don’t think the Pope John Paul II understands Marxism. For me, the four Gospels are all equally Communist. I’m a Marxist who believes in God, follows Christ, and is a revolutionary for the sake of his kingdom.” - Fr. Ernesto Cardenal

honestly his anticommunist takes are lame but he's got the right ideas.

seems like he's been fed a lot of lame sectarian information idk where he's coming from whether it's online or irl but i just hope by sticking around he can see that ML's and anarchists are allies despite criticism.

unity - criticism - unity and all that

Nationalism is good for colonized bodies but not for imperial powers

succinct way of putting it, makes sense...

good leftist podcast recommendations?

None they are all terrible

c’mon they can’t all be bad

if you want to learn about the cuban revolution or the iraq war from a leftist pov blowback is a great podcast. otherwise i’d recommend reading instead as you’ll retain more information as with podcast they tend to be more background noise while you do another activity.

Thanks! I’ll check that out.

Admittedly, I have a pretty difficult time with reading theory (ADHD). I’ve found youtube essays and podcasts to work best for me.

We're allies in the context of everyday praxis in the current western system

Anything beyond that no

Problem is mfers love to LARP so they act like we already need to do post-revolution politics

IRL anarkaks and MLs dont beef that much when they work together

a lot of them are pretty insufferable tbh, only one I actually thoroughly enjoy is Blowback, i seem to be really picky about the content and the peoples voices / how they talk

rev left is fine

guerilla history - the two other people other than brett are s***, the woman has an annoying voice and the other f***head talks too much

the east is a podcast - the host talks like a rabbit and gets on my nerves

empire files is cool

moderate rebels is kind of eh, not a lot of great content for the length but some good episodes

blowback is 10/10, funny at some times, but mostly just a narrative and tells a story, with great content, great voice and great delivery

Great post, his s*** just reeks of terminally online s*** and/or some disgruntled bearded anarchist in 1920 ussr

i listen to Bad Faith, but half the episodes are Patreon-only

they're all posted here though (free)
reddit.com/r/blackfaithfeed

ty ill for sure check it out

absolutely beautiful

... this giving me weird vibes but we’ll see
