Bigger repo of theory / resources:
Books to check out:
“I didn’t fucking read Karl Marx. I don’t read these academic Marxist people because honestly I don’t give a fuck. I’m a fucking worker… I should be the one leading this revolution.”
this ‘apolitical insurrectionary’ attitude is a great way to accomplish exactly 3 things:
- Getting shot by the state
- Infighting over goals and methods
- Getting co-oped by someone who did read “bullshit” political theory
am I supposed to praise someone for being willfully ignorant? what is this anti-intellectualism crap? sure every dumbass on twitter can pretend to be the next Karl Kautsky and spew shit takes all day but pretending that Marxists theorists have no relevance because “they’re fucking dead” is just wrong. We read the old fucks because they have experience with confronting capitalism and identifying the structures that are used to hold us within it, so that we can better destroy them. One of the biggest lessons is that the communist revolution is going to consist of much more organizing than shooting. This blind insurrectionary attitude was tried by every group of pissed off peasants in the middle ages and all of them failed, and we’ve seen “pro-worker” movements in recent times be co-oped to serve capitalist causes, like Solidarity in Poland.
listen she has a right to be angry at every twitter dipshit who uses some random quote from the 18th century to justify their hot take about “the females.” But going into a room full of communists shouting “fuck Karl Marx!” is just provocative, if someone did that in real life everyone would think they were a cop. being a self proclaimed leftist and doing that is just begging to get people fighting, which it seems to have done so pretty well.
