I hate standpoint theory so much it’s the biggest blight in talking to people to people on anything.

You can be educated on something but then they go 'erm but I come from this background "

I hate it so much it’s so anti intellectual

      During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.

            Yeah, in 1986 IIRC. Communists and always being right!

            Let’s water down all these revolutionaries, if we create a platform to discuss what they did, we can control how extreme their actual views were.

            I feel like Lenin and Marx discussed like ever possible event that can and would occur in the future lol
