I was wondering why Marxism was still a thing and this placed seemed to be filled with Marxists. So, why? Didn’t the fall of USSR teach us anything? Do today’s Marxists think that USSR did something wrong? In other words, will they do anything different than the dictators of the soviet union? Also, some here seem to admire Stalin. I would really have to try hard to find a community that would admire Hitler but apparently admiring Stalin, another mass murder seems to be perfectly fine!

    religions are ideologies not fucking people, or are you going to say that people have their religion ingrained in their blood or some other orientalist shit?

    I’m not saying religion is hereditary. I’m saying religious oppression can fall into the category of genocide. Or are you like those leftists from the 30s who said antisemitism is not a problem because jewish is not a race?!

    And no, Lenin talked about how anticommunist leftism was like an infantile disorder because how contradictory is.

    The problem is those people he called “leftists” are way more communist than he ever was. So framing them as “anticommunist” doesn’t help when they’re in fact anti-bolshevik. Also, why would you say, for example, anarchism is contradictory? It’s much more contradictory to build a strong Nation State in order to reach a “classless, stateless” society than it is to go and abolish that shit for real!
