Muscles and political beliefs are only correlated in the sense that most meat heads are dipshits and will thus lean more towards reactionary views.

2020-01-05 04:15:01 UTC  

Maybe that’s true

2020-01-05 04:15:17 UTC  

But I bet it’s more like the fact that they’re just trump supporters

2020-01-05 04:15:22 UTC  

Not really reactionary

2020-01-05 04:15:43 UTC  

If you support Trump, theres a decent chance that you're reactionary.

2020-01-05 04:15:56 UTC  

What’s a reactionary?

2020-01-05 04:16:02 UTC  

By your definition?

2020-01-05 04:17:07 UTC  

A person who believes that we are degrading as a society, that most things new suck, and that only by returning to an idealized time in the past where things were supposedly better aka "the good old days", only by going back to the old ways can we return to purity, and things will be better again.

2020-01-05 04:17:28 UTC  

Reactionary beliefs include nazism, libertarianism, conservatism ect.

2020-01-05 04:17:39 UTC  

Basically someone that wants to go back to older political doctrines

2020-01-05 04:17:53 UTC  

I mean Marxism could be described that way then

2020-01-05 04:17:58 UTC  

It’s a older idea

2020-01-05 04:18:04 UTC  

Going back to 1848

2020-01-05 04:18:05 UTC  

nope.

2020-01-05 04:18:15 UTC  

Marxism is a scientific form of social analysis.

2020-01-05 04:18:25 UTC  

ROFL

2020-01-05 04:18:27 UTC  

Lmao

2020-01-05 04:18:35 UTC  

Ok hold on

2020-01-05 04:18:46 UTC  

What do you mean by “scientific”?

2020-01-05 04:18:49 UTC  

Its ideological pillars include historical materialism, dialectical materialism, and political economy.

2020-01-05 04:18:50 UTC  

How is it scientific lmao. It's the opposite it isn't empirical at all

2020-01-05 04:19:07 UTC  

Yeah I know a bit about communism

2020-01-05 04:19:13 UTC  

Not a expert

2020-01-05 04:19:27 UTC  

Marxism is a critique of capitalist political economy.

2020-01-05 04:20:22 UTC  

Some phenomenon that have been correctly observed and scientifically proven include concepts such as surplus value extraction, the labor theory of value, the falling rate of profit, the necessity of revolution historically, the fact that as time goes on, the more advanced a capitalist country becomes

2020-01-05 04:20:30 UTC  

the more its mode of production begins to resemble socialism.

2020-01-05 04:20:59 UTC  

Your use of scientific is weird, I don’t imagine politics as scientific.

2020-01-05 04:21:02 UTC  

Marx was wrong about some things here and there, but overall his theory holds up.

2020-01-05 04:21:25 UTC  

Scientific as in it is concerned with what is provable, testable, and objectively verifiable.

2020-01-05 04:21:29 UTC  

I imagine politics as a human interaction to change the flow of power

2020-01-05 04:21:35 UTC  

And most concepts in marxism can be observed and verified.

2020-01-05 04:21:53 UTC  

Ok so let’s see, are you a Nazbol?

2020-01-05 04:22:05 UTC  

Marxist-Leninist.

2020-01-05 04:22:11 UTC  

Ok

2020-01-05 04:22:19 UTC  

Are you culturally far left?

2020-01-05 04:22:31 UTC  

LGBTQ, pro trans, pro choice

2020-01-05 04:23:25 UTC  

>provable, testable, and objectively verifiable
does any of this control for genes?

2020-01-05 04:23:40 UTC  

You are a internationalist so you do believe there shouldn’t be any borders on the planet?

2020-01-05 04:23:48 UTC  

Because it’s a form of apartheid

2020-01-05 04:24:51 UTC  

It's kinda weird that marx was a fan of darwin all things considered

2020-01-05 04:24:59 UTC  

Why?
