It’s so crazy how wide this cancer has spread lol. It’s like a rise of idealism mixed with an unhealthy obsession with Trotsky and the idea of the global proletariat which is clearly a losing position as national identity and nationalism is a requirement for the success of a nation and these people are anti nationalism contrary to actually existing socialist states like China which are very anti immigration pro nationalism and share a common ethnic identity

The difference between the PRC and western “Marxism” is they live in reality while westerners live in a platonic realm of ideals. China is the best criticism of western Marxism in existence today and it’s even funnier they have a pejorative for western leftists who don’t actually care about improving the lives of commoners

How does reading a book change the material reality we are living in alleged comrade? The failure of 21st century Marxism is forgetting the material world it was designed to address in favor of masterbatory academic circlejerks
