Marxist Leninist
Can you tell me more about Mao’s ideas about intelligentsia?
I think it’s hard, because the farther I get into my academic career, the more elitist it gets, and the more “pay to play” it feels, like it’s just made for rich kids. I got into my program on a 75% merit based scholarship, but then my PI started setting me up with all these conferences to submit our papers to, except no one told me that I need to be the person fronting these several hundreds of dollars for registering papers that the school says they will pay me back “if funding permits” lol, what a joke. It feels like an institution that exists only to be accessible for the wealthy, despite me fighting my way up the ladder tooth and nail.
Cool, I’ll check it out. I think he can be hit or miss, especially when it comes to ‘hard theory’ videos, but I’m none the less interested.
Was that in a speech or a book? Would love to get the full context.
I get that you are not anti Kim Ill Sung, but what comparison do you see between the two, just in general? Not sure i follow.
You should not call yourself a communist if you’re an American and do not know about AIM and their struggle imo.
The IRA for one.
I think it more comes from how a lot of supposed mental disorders, are more of a conflict of that individual and the society they live in. If society was structured in a way for ADHD people to be able to contribute that is structured around how their brain works, there wouldn’t be a disability in the first place. Not all, of course, but many. How we shouldn’t be positing these people as ‘broken’ because their brains work slightly different, but because our society isn’t structured in a way to allow them to contribute in a way that works best for them.
Can we still say ‘Amerikkkrakker’?
Can you help me understand how the whole fediverse thing works? It seems more decentralized than reddit.
It doesn’t address Marxism specifically, but the book The Tao of Science is really interesting. It relates Taoist and other Eastern philosophical concepts to the modern scientific principles that Marxism is predicated on.
Re-education sounds scary until you consider the alternative…
That’s fantastic, thank you!
