Even if they take a bio-essentialist paradigm (which is unscientific and undialectical anyway) they will have a hard time explaining themselves out of genetic penetrance. They’re about as scientific as so-called “race science”; it’s just another vehicle to channel their insecurities as violent supremacism.
From Jim Crow to superpredators and the prison industry complex to NAFTA and immigrant persecution to ethnic cleansing and genocide. The “hagiography” writes itself.
Wave media are Chinese liberals and this is par for the course. Hence, Dugin. (I still watch a lot of their videos and Read the China Academy; the beauty of the chinese DOTP is that even a majority of their liberals are tamed)
Religions often reflect the economic systems and class struggles; actual socialist forms of the religion would have been threat to the capitalism and feudal vestiges of the Holy See as an (European) institution. Sometimes it feels like if one really believed in a benevolent god then they would become a socialist but then I realise this is an idealistic non-materialistic approach to understanding humanity.
You have to remember a lot of them are from petite-bourgoisie or relative labour aristocracy so will reflect those class interests; their defence of capital and with that the local flavor of fascism manifested here as Hindutva. They really are losers in multiple sense of the word. As Paulo Friere has written the oppressed find in their model of “manhood” in the oppressor; there is no true salvation without socialism.
In the interim, fight the fascists.
It would have been better if liberation theology was the more de facto institutional catholicism.
^This. The bar for a better pope is really low. I did, however, enjoy some Catholics freaking out over some of the more progressive things he said.
Fascism; they both see communists and muslims as their enemies. Their trade solidifies those common beliefs. (In India I believe 75% of muslims are considered converts from lower castes; even without this being true there is a clear class subjugation here, and it is not for nowt that the first national liberation movements against the Brits came from musilm communities.)
Not exactly what you asked for but a lot of these “post-marxist” philosophies have at least some of their roots - intentionally or not - in Proudhonisim. Proudhon wrote Philosophy on Poverty after which Marx responded with his critique, the Poverty of Philosophy, which you may find of interest.
I would argue they don’t understand even basic science.
