"Left" and "Right" are stupid concepts that conflate individuals, ideologies and movements across a timespan of 250 years of time down to one line. It's only useful for people that want to sow discord among people.

Karl Marx and Edouard Bernstein would pinch their noses at the freakshow that call themselves "Marxists" and "Leftists" to this day. So would Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson at many of the self-labelled "rightists" and "capitalists".

Benjamin Tucker would not feel at home in a crowd of leftists today. Neither would Lysander Spooner or Max Stirner in a crowd of rightists.

Marx was gross, but he'd totally approve of the left's methodology.

Winning by being blue-haired losers with at least two mental health diagnonses that they tell everyone about while mixing our latte macchiato?

I don't think so.

The Beave 2y ago

Actually, yes. Because they are using his principles along with the Hegelian dialectic to push towards communism.

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

His principles? Marx outlined a class-based worldview based in material conditions as a pointer to the path of history.

The leftist freaks of today have given up on class warfare and are going with an unrecognisable mishmash of notions that are absolutely not rooted in anything material whatsoever. The biggest "achiement" of the left in the past thirty years is to push sexuality and "gendered souls" to the forefront of public life and gave the public look on helplessly while "gender clinics" cause irrepairable harm to young bodies of confused teenagers. Every hammer-and-sickle-in-bio type you see spouting communist drivel on Birdsite is an sexually frustrated non-achiever that's waiting on his parents to die so he/she/it can inheret their real estate.

Words are not facts, and losers repeating a century old words of people far more accomplished than they do not make them communists.

Oh, and all the astonishingly racist CRT bs, lest not forget...

The Beave 2y ago

CRT is literally the application of Marx's critical theory just applied to race. It also gives rise to ask the other BS critical theories.

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

Critical Theory was never Marx's, it was the product of the Frankfurt School, which are best classified as Post-Marxist.

The Beave 2y ago

It's still based directly on Marx's "work."

The Beave 2y ago

I need to introduce you to James Lindsey and his work on woke.

All of it, is, in fact, based on Marx's methodology, which is based on gnosticism and hermeticism with a bunch of Hegel thrown in to make it extra nasty.
