I dont really understand why Marxism is so stagnant tbh.
I mean...look, i know I'm "different." But...what else is there? Do people really want another flavour of liberalism or nationalism or whatever? I'm not saying one day i suddenly became a fully fledged ideologically consistent socialist, obviously.
What i mean is just look at the UK. The country is going to shit, and the best there is the greens? I don't understand how you can go through 20 years of this and then go "well obviously we just need a different type of capitalism."
It's not easy, I get that, but i mean in that case you'd think you'd get more Eurocommunists than anything.
But even looking at the global south. The fact that places like Indonesia and Thailand literally don't have communist parties anymore, or how Argentina is constantly falling down rapidly and people are still worried about Peronists vs Millei-ists. There's an answer right there, outside of all of that.
This isn't some criticism of people. I just thought Marxism was easy to understand, and sometimes i wonder if maybe its not. Idk. This isn't doom posting either. I think I'll just invent a time machine to kill Friedrich Ebert and Albert Noske. That should fix things
