Absolutely terrible take from a "leftcom"
Absolutely terrible take from a "leftcom"
Yes, this is an internet nobody, but unfortunately, I came across this, and this is such a ๐คก take that I couldn't not post it here.
I looked through their post history a bit, notice the contradiction between here, which is their take about real people resisting genocide and fighting for their liberation by any means necessary:
And their abstract take on a hypothetical revolution, just a month earlier:
Of course they also boost condescending shit like this:
Asides from that (and their opinions on Russia), they posted some decent anti-capitalist rhetoric. I guess this serves as a reminder that not everyone who shares such rhetoric is actually committed to it when things get real.

This is why we need Lenin. Back in Marxโs day there may have been one international proletariat, but now thereโs imperialism and oppressor nation workers are not the same as oppressed nation workers.
there wasn't really a single international proletariat back then either, Marx and Engels just didn't write a lot about it
Fair, I wonder why it was canonized as a Marxist thing. I guess it was probably just opposition to bourgeois nationalism was extrapolated to all nationalism by some.
Marx and Engels certainly did have some gaps in their knowledge of non-European countries
They knew they werenโt capitalist though, and that their knowledge of capitalism only applied to Europe.
yes, that's why they focused on European capitalism
