so you are not a marxist, bye lol :)

i’m joking. but you really need to read about marxism.

What does everything you just said have to do with communism?

It’s the very basics of our theory. and it’s basically what i told you before.

ofc, you can believe in socialism without being a marxist. You might be interested in reading Polanyi for example.

yes, we believe capital is relational ofc, and historical situated. there is nothing natural or normal about it. it’s a phase, a period, an arrangement. But culture is a product of the relationships of production, that’s our epistemology. Humans do stuff, how “we create” our world (so, our labor) is what really matters. I hope it’s clear now.

“but I just don’t see what part of it requires belief in an objective world of matter.”

that’s not what materialism means, at least in marxist therm. materialism means humans facts are dependent on space and time, so to say. so, the relationships of productions, are historically connoted and situated in space. that’s why we are materialists. historical materialists.

we reject idealism: we don’t believe that culture is the engine of history, for example. we reject all forms of idealism, we reject the “idea” of state (for example), the state for us is a product of the relationships of production . we believe material relationships of production are the engine of history.

that’s a very synthetic answer. but the point is: materialism is not primarily concerned with physical objects or “things.” Instead, it centers on the intricate interplay of historical and spatial contexts in shaping human realities.

“Thus, one can by no means present the agrarian reflection of the proletarian revolution as an episode of redistribution or repartition of the land, nor as the conquest of the land by the peasants. The slogan, “small property instead of big property” does not make any sense. The slogan, “small agrarian business instead of big agrarian business” is 100% reactionary.”

Mark Fisher referenced in the lyric! References.

so ugly it’s pretty

that’s my opinion as well.

Lol “dunking on America”. Nobody hates America more than Americans…

hmm not sure

for sure my hate for the USA is sincere, pure and strong. And i’m not American (thanks god!)

I don’t know if I should thank god for not being from the US, or to be upset with god that I have to deal with so many fucking US idiots all the time. Their entitlement and arrogance know no borders, just like their imperialism.
