people who reach this stage think hypothetically, and use deductive reasoning, they can understand abstract concepts

like the ones required for marxism

"However, research has shown that not all persons in all cultures reach formal operations, and most people do not use formal operations in all aspects of their lives".[46]

it says here that development can not be reached based on cultural factors

which means we need to educate for people to reach this stage

maybe people raised under capitalism often don't reach it

but we can fix that

That would take a long time.

In the time of transition army discipline and authority is necessary.

In our time.

still

i think a majority of people reach this stage

at least more than before

Still what? It was very hard in USSR. With the best education system we had a lot of people believing in "water energy charging" soon turning into sects.

even under capitalism, abstract tasks are embedded in education, like algebra

Its very hard.

if you can understand algebra you can probably understand marxism

I myself struggle so long learning it. Maybe it is easy for you. Not for me.

that's your problem

Everybody agrees with me.

maybe this discord is just the stupid pit

and everybody else is smarter

Every single Russian Marxist will tell you that.

because, outside of reading the entire volume 1 of capital or something, i would assume most people can have a basic understanding of marxism

Do you know diamat?

i'm not very familiar with it, but it is only one interpretation of marxism.

Nope, it is the basis of Marxism.

How can you know anything without basics?

Marxism is cancerous

and has led to more poverty, death, and overall poor living conditions than any other political system
