This Is What Stalin Literally Wanted

NAME ME ONE CRIME

add to op

Stalin was retärded in many ways but Mao was even more retärded tbh. Lenin and Castro are the GOATs of dis shyt.

Yeah I Prescribe To Great Man Theory

Also Lenin had the privilege of dying at the right time. If Mao had died in like 1950 you would still have an Atatürk-esque cult around him. He does get serious love nowadays but most prescribe to the 70/30 line in China

this is a hall of fame post

reading the wikipedia article of Lukac is hilarious
“ Lukács has been described as the preeminent Marxist intellectual of the Stalinist era, though assessing his legacy can be difficult as Lukács seemed both to support Stalinism as the embodiment of Marxist thought, and yet also to champion a return to pre-Stalinist Marxism.”

and i’m like cause there’s no difference even Bernstein said Marx had a bolshevik streak in him

first 12 pages of this thread are one hell of a ride

sounds like a hiterlite

where to get started on philosophy? ive done my fair share of communist readings (stalin mao lenin marx) but haven't quite delved into some of the s*** you guys are talking about in this thread sometimes

Choose one of the five

Hegel - The Phenomenology of Spirit
Kant - First Critique
Heidegger - Being and Time
Wittgenstein - tractatus
Lukac - History and Class Consciousness

Lol

my first was PoS and tbh it’s worth to just tackle a hard book and attempt to read really forces u think and think differently

also best way to get into philosophy is find a guy ur interested read about him stick in his niche and then branch out than reading from the start expecting to catch up at some point

Here’s some good intro works to dialectics

JMP: Torsion and Tension, you’ll have to do separate PDFs for each chapter iirc but just click through the links at the bottom. Unpublished but it’s a great introduction to dialectics and is contemporary so easier to read than some older texts

Georges Politzer - Elementary Principles of Philosophy

Decent broad overview of idealism/materialism followed by addressing more specific questions regarding diamat

Lenin - On the Question of Dialectics

Weird formatting since it’s from his philosophical notebooks but classic, short text.

CPI ML (Peoples War) -Marxist Philosophy, Introductory Notes

Quite a bit longer and not as commonly recommended, but I think this is mostly a great overview. Some translation issues. This is from one of the parties that went on to form CPI (MLM)

Engels - Anti-Duhring Part 1 (Philosophy)

Not much to be said here, a classic

Those are in no particular order so just peep the ones that interest you.

RevLefts Dialectics Deep Dive series is also good if you want something to listen to

Bolsominions: President Bolsonaro is working with the military to take down Lula and save us from Homosexual style communist Satanism

Bolsonaro:

are you learning Farsi?

IDK why y'all so into philosophy and not economics tbh

Real take here

True tho. Nobody here talks about Marxist economics tbh, mostly history and philosophy and politics.

Then again we are a small group
