  • Meanwhile I have got tons of people to actually read and engage with ML theory because I understand it well enough and have spent a life time working retail and service jobs that I know how to talk to people in ways they will understand. It is important to read the source material so that you can do that but it also makes little sense to just regurgitate 100+ year old vocabulary. Once we have the concepts and ideas of Marxism fully absorbed into our analysis it only makes sense to explain things in terms normal people understand.

    This is why (for its time) the manifesto was written in fairly plain language that the average worker could get through intuition. We gravely need more approachable theory for modern generations.

    That said there is also a time and place and certain audiences that may be swayed by someone speaking like an academic authority. You just gotta kinda read the room.



  • lmao this bar I go to has this one fascist who is fairly well known for being a huge reactionary dork, and one night I bullied him out of the bar prompting him to complain about me to the bouncer who came over and was gonna ask me to leave so I just explained that he was a piece of shit and once maced one of my friends.

    So friday night on my way into the bar all I got from the bouncers was “hey watch out your buddy [redacted] is in there, just try to ignore him”.

    The dives I go to will probably let you throw a few punches before they consider throwing you out.
