I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    By “neat and easy” I mean, “The root of all evil is capitalism and we solve that with revolution”.

    This is exactly why they are responding to you as they are. This is not an accurate summary of the marxist position. You’ve built up a strawman to knock down to justify calling us cultish.

    Some basic questions that marxists are concerned with:

    • Why is a revolution necessary to begin with?

    • Who is exploited, and who is the exploiter?

    • What material conditions are necessary for a revolution to be possible?

    • How do you organize society post-revolution?

    • How do you prevent those who oppose the liberation of the proletariat from taking over your post-revolutionary society and destroying it?

    • How do we learn from the successes and the failures of history so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes?

    If you don’t understand the marxist position on these questions, yet continue to criticize us, then of course you will come to nonsense conclusions and just piss people off. You’ve made up a guy to represent us and then mock them.
