Marxism at its core demands rigorous study, historical literacy, and constant self critique. Genuine communists spend their lives reading theory, history, economics, and philosophy trying to understand the totality of social life and how to transform it consciously.

I think guns can be well integrated into a society however American gun culture unsettles me because itโ€™s almost always an extension of American imperialism and war fantasies if youโ€™ve ever seen a conservative talk about guns youโ€™ll know what I mean

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The list is obviously missing some other important mass murders: - Stalin: 20 million people (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_moโ€ฆ) - Pol Pot: around 2 million people (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodianโ€ฆ) - Mao Zedong: almost 40 million people (even tough some not directly: link.springer.com/chapter/10.105โ€ฆ) Furthermore: Napoleon was not Italian, but French, so wrong flag.

I cannot stand how trap music isn't recognized as the groundbreaking art form and profound innovation that it is by the white mainstream and even among black โ€œmusic nerdsโ€

Exactly You can separate the corporation from the people who actually create the art music writing and ideas Being excited about someoneโ€™s creative work doesnโ€™t automatically mean you support everything the company behind it does If the artists put their heart into creating something meaningful I think itโ€™s completely fair to appreciate and be excited for their work without blindly worshipping the corporation behind it

By the logic of these GTA VI haters, being excited for any major album, movie, or book makes you a sheep because itโ€™s published by muh โ€œbillion dollar companyโ€ never mind the artists who created it

Gen Z is puritanical because purity is a virtue the rich can sell to the poor. In a generation shaped by economic decline, when you can't afford status, luxury, or mobility, purity becomes one of the few forms of moral status left to consume

Even more strange is the emotional attachment some have that "the US revolution had to be progressive!" in an almost religious way, like they need it to be true for their own peace of mind, any theory or history be damned. The Amerikan national myth must be killed.

Exactly. It comes only from the human labor. You don't need any capital at all to produce more.

in present-day terms, you're leasing your toothbrush from the community. if somebody else needs one (because the community hasn't provided one for them), then they may as well take yours. better we endorse this principle than the opposite, that no one can haz.
