From Plato to Hegel to Marx

You dumb

Feel bad

Where the market socialists at

Major Lenin's work is written against solipsism.

the nationalist viewpoint is far easier to complie

@HardMan you are very right about this

Nationalism is quite easy to hold on to

rightwing symbols are also far more powerful, especially swastikas

He seems to argue the cult of personality around Stalin is solipsistic, despite Kruschev's immediate de-Stalinization and further criticism of Mao in China.

swastika = easy to make, recognisable

compared to hammer and sickle

Stalin wasn't an absolute ruler either, USSR operated on a system of democratic centralism

Cult of personality is solipsism? 😃

The definitions are just made-up by the author

I smell tankies...

👀

MLs you mean

What's the difference?

<:hehehe:439210118777667605>

One is a pejorative the other is an ideology

One refers to the 1956 Hungarian revolution the other refers to the combined works of Lenin and Marx

The swastika is interesting because it was a symbol of peace turned perversion by the Nazis. But in a way, it's easy to identify the Nazis with being powerful. That's the whole point of their existence in a way, to fester a "might makes right" aura. Nazis were methodical and precise in their dirty deeds, and in their dress and fashion.

no difference....

tankies....

Good thing I'm not a tankie.

Brutalist and vain to the end @HardMan

did lenin even use the term marxist-leninist

you should feel ashamed...

Did Marx ever use the term Marxism?

Oh, right.

attracts young people too, as it's really edgy to be a nazi

@Chaiske yes

He actually did

"If there is one thing I'm sure of, it's that I am not a Marxist"

Let me finish my quip, geeze.

exposed....
