:bordiga-despair: Unironically though I’m starting to realize that the tendency I find my opinions most alike is leftcommunism, not because it’s what I’d advocate for, it’s just that I’m a petty-bourgeois failson who ventured too deep into academia to truly relate to the working class struggle, so even though I would say the ML’s have it right it’s hard for me on a personal level to imagine how that style of working class organization should take place
Yea I agree, but like Marx wrote (I couldn’t find the original text) the petty-bourgeois who align with the working class struggle will be tag alongs not leaders in the socialist formation
Marx also thought communism would happen in Germany not Russia, he wasn’t able to see the future
Ye but I don’t think he was fundamentally wrong about class positionality structuring our understandings. I’m firmly in the camp that our material surroundings inform and decide our possible outcomes. Marx may have read the tea leaves incorrectly when it came to predicting where a communist revolution would occur, but it doesn’t mean his base analysis was incorrect
