Focus on the people that are radicalized but uneducated on theory. It’s largely futile to convince those that benefit from the status quo, but for those that are actively seeking answers they come readily to communism.

The problem with that is that people aren’t stupid, they just license themselves to going along with anti-communism, so when you’re caught out you’ve alienated people. That’s why revolutionaries should strive for honesty and transparency, rather than subterfuge and deception.

He exists, even if he’s wrong 🤷

I agree, but I also think that if we are asking which work of Marx is the most important, ultimately it is Capital. The ones that wield having read it or not like a club aren’t helpful, but the work itself absolutely is.

Lemmy.world mods not beating the Nazi sympathizer allegations.

Killing fascists is a good thing, actually.

Revolution isn’t the same as just killing random people. It isn’t difficult to comprehend that.

If those people are fascists, and are the ones preventing the collectivization of production and distribution in order to satisfy everyone’s needs, then a worthwhile society can absolutely be created via revolution. The ones that overthrow fascists are in fact better than fascists.

You always seem to poke your head in to make a strawman or some other absurd point against any meaningful alternatitive to capitalism. That’s why I asked.

What is with your obsession with defending capitalism and making strawmen out of communists?

It’s easily the 3 volumes of Capital. Those are his masterworks, and they hold up brilliantly.

ProleWiki is a communist wikipedia alternative, created due to Wikipedia’s western, liberal bias and connections to western intelligence agencies.

Here’s a link to ProleWiki. It’s great for Marxist-Leninist theory and history, as well as modern essays.

There was just cause. The Kiev regime has killed 13,000 civilians in the Donbass region, and had amassed huge amounts of troops to retake the seperatist regions shortly before Russian intervention stopped the invasion.

Kiev is run by Bandera-upholding Neo-Nazis that took power in the western-backed Euromaidan coup in 2014. Since then, 13,000+ civilians in the Donbass region have been killed by the Kiev regime, which is why Donetsk and Luhansk voted to secede. Communists generally support Russian intervention to protect the DPR and LPR against the western-backed fascists, who shortly before Russian intervention had ammassed huge forces to invade the Donbass region and retake it.

Ukraine is supported by the west for similar reasons as Israel, they are governed by the far-right and serve western interests in their respective regions.

Ukraine is a vassal of western imperialists, similar to Israel.

There are a few critical flaws here.

1. Ukraine is here for the same reason Israel is, both are vassals of western imperialists that help secure western interests in their respective regions. No trolling here.

2. The US and UK are far more oppressive with far more atrocities globally than either the USSR or PRC. Nobody is trying to point to other countries being bad to say that excuses oppression, but that the actual differences between socialist countries and imperialist ones is massive.

The west treats Ukraine like they do Israel. After the western-supported Euromaidan coup in 2014, they’ve armed millitant Banderites to crack down on communists and geopolitical adversaries of the west.

Good news, it still does.

Yep, they also called themselves social democrats. State capitalism is such a loaded term that it’s better to identify it by its class character.
