There’s lots of reading theory and economics but I’m not very smart :(

You are human. You can learn. :)

It frees you to choose which leader to follow.

It’s less about economics than it is about history, about understanding and communicating the problems of the people close to you. Of being organised in a party and working collectively.

It’s not the easy way out, but it’s the meaningful way out. Watch the videos, follow the left wing you tubers, that’s a reasonable start. That’s what got me intrigued. And now I’m here. :)

I also struggle to self read. If you have a Marxist reading group, it would potentially be helpful. If there aren’t any in your area, the Marx Madness podcast is pretty solid (Season 1 is a bit rough as they were learning how to podcast, Season 2 and onwards really improves).

What does ultra mean? I remember reading something Mr. Mao wrote not being ‘ultra democracy’ but he didn’t explain it in the text

‘Ultra’ isnt just a marxist term, you find it in football fans as well.

It basically means ‘ultra dedicated’, its not a good thing in the context of Marxism, as Marxism is a scientific ideology that wants to be criticized and adapated, evolved in line with its scientific thinking.

An ultra basically treats Marxism like a bible and refuses to budge or adapt there ideological position.
