This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Comrade, I'll state that understanding dialectical materialism is critical for understanding Marxist economics. There's good reason I put diamat so early on, and it's because philosophy is the way we think about and view the world. Without a proper understanding of how to view the world, learning economics allows is to let our bourgeois preconceptions cloud our judgement. If you're frustrated, I suggest going through the guide I wrote in the order it was intended. You can also wait for Edie to do the weekly reading list for it over on Hexbear.
went back to very start of reading plan, including the dearly cherished krupskaya principles for self-study
got to this part i forgot and gulped… i was making a fool of myself for no damn reason
Nah, you're learning through experience! Seeing theory affirm your own suspicions and provide new clarity and insight helps the points actually stick!
thank you :) the encouragement is much dearer than you can imagine :)
No problem!
sigh, i figured TT /nay
i really hoped my rudimentary and probably vulgar mental simplification (admittedly probably fed almost exclusively on sloganeering or posts like your crash course that self-profess to NOT being comprehensive and encourage further reading) would suffice as a basis, really praying that i knew somewhat enough not to completely poison my understanding, but… you would never know if it was poisoning your knowledge unless you knew the extent of your ignorance, which you only know by knowing…
i’ll revisit those segments of the reading guide once more TT i really have been getting in my own way
edit
must remember always
It's an easy mistake! Don't beat yourself up!
