If you don’t believe that the struggle between social classes defines economic relations in a capitalist economy and will inevitably lead to revolutionary communism, then you’re telling me that you don’t quite understand Marx as much as you say you do.
Copied from last megathread:
The worst members of the bourgeoisie are the ones who own most of society’s wealth and means of production.
If you don’t believe in historical materialism or that capitalism can only thrive on the exploitation of the working class, then in my opinion you can never really be called a Marxist.
If you don’t distinguish social classes on the basis of ownership of the means of production and control over the labor power of others, then you can’t say that you have a Marxist understanding of class.
If you don’t think that there’s a disconnect between how humans ought to work and the way that humans do “work” in a capitalist society, then I can’t consider you someone I can call comrade.
Poverty. Shouldn’t. Exist.
If you don’t believe that society consists of two parts, the base and the superstructure, then you can never say that you believe in Marxist ideas.
Any revolution not predicated on overthrowing the existing power structure is no revolution at all.
