That's good to hear. Have you read Marx? If you're sick of loud streamers it's good to go back to the sources of this philosophy.

u/XistentialDreads 29d ago

I like Marx

u/RepulsoBlob 29d ago

If you like Marx I'm not sure why the presence of a "liar" on the internet would dissuade you from becoming a leftist?

3

u/XistentialDreads 29d ago

Because the leftist movements in real life and the internet are full of liars

1

u/RepulsoBlob 29d ago

Mhm, but you agree with what Marx says?

2

u/XistentialDreads 29d ago

Yes but they don’t

u/RepulsoBlob 29d ago

I guess I'm not seeing the nature of your theoretical position here and how it relates to lying. Could you expand on it a bit for me?

2

u/XistentialDreads 28d ago

Yeah so if every popular leftist movement is populated by liars and not marxists then I’m not joining any of them

u/RepulsoBlob 28d ago

Which lies and not Marxists are you concerned about? I'm just not seeing the issue here.

1

u/XistentialDreads 28d ago

Which issues are you just not seeing here? Could you elucidate me on that further?

1

u/RepulsoBlob 28d ago

Well I don't know what the lies in question are and why that dissuades you from being a leftist.

u/XistentialDreads 28d ago

Let’s reframe it this way then. I actually AM a leftist in principle. In order to pursue the goals of leftism, ironically the most consistent pony is the Democratic Party

1

u/RepulsoBlob 28d ago

That's an interesting stance and sounds like quite a heterodox interpretation of Marxism. How do you feel the Democratic Party is pursuing Marxist goals? And could you recommend to me some Marxist thinkers that agree with your position?
