I'm being hyperbolic, but after watching videos like this one (https://youtu.be/kya_LXa_y1E) or this one (https://youtu.be/6HlCfwEduqA) I really felt the frustration of having people who don't know what they're talking about come up with garbage theories or horrible explanations or complete misinterpretations and then having to do triple to work to reexplain everything because of that. Cause that really is the marxist educator experience where it's like "no, the labor theory of value doesn't mean that if you take two hours to make the same thing as the guy who made it in one hour yours is more valuable. No, trading with others is not capitalism. No, marx/lenin/stalin/Mao etc. Didnt say that. Etc."

Addition: actually my math professor last semester had a rant about definitions and the difference between describing something and defining something (i.e, integers can be described as positive and negative whole numbers including 0, but that's not how they're defined [which is complicated and involves sets and whatever].) As much as he's not one of my favorite professors I've had I did find that bit intensely relatable.

I think I had a breakthrough the other week when I made the connection between dialectical materialism and relativity. The unity and interpenetration of opposites can be seen in how the relative stillness/motion of an object can only be observed in its contraction to the relative motion/stillness of other objects.

I think relativity was basically the non-dialectical sciences rediscovering dialectical materialism from a different direction.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
