Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

What's something low profile comrades say that communicate immediately that they know which side they fight for in the class struggle?

Example: if anyone in the wild speaks "material conditions", or "bourgeois state", out loud, I'm listening.

Yeah, one of my Marxist teachers was trying to explain something dialectically (though unfortunately in the Fichteian way).

Speech 100! Hahaha

Well, yeah. I know some of that stuff indirectly. Haven't been here for long, but there's a few of the concepts that appear over and over again, and are useful in actual conversation, even if sometimes not perfectly precise.

I'll start using "the material conditions of this codebase won't allow for the unfolding of such feature". Or something.

It's really hard to dig deeper into all/most of the concepts.

I’ve learned a lot about dialectics recently. I can give recommendations. I haven’t read any Hegel or Fichte, but i have read Mao.

Yes, please? I know "on contradiction" is in the queue. But those things take time. :D

[–] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it’s good. ‘On practice,’ and ‘on the correct handling of the contradictions among the people’ go with that. You can find them here. I recommend ‘the dialectical biologist’ which I recently finished. ‘The Parable of the Sower’ good dialectical fiction (the sequel too). Stalin’s ‘dialectical and historical materialism’ is great. I highly recommend RevLeft’s dialectics deep dive series with Mathew Furlong. It’s long and way back in the catalog, but great.
