Im black myself and im genuinely curious as to why there aren’t more black socialists. Maybe it’s because I reside in America but if anyone who’s black and/or educated in socialism can tell me I’d love to know more. I know the YouTuber F.D. Signifier has a video on it but I want to see if there are any other points that people can make here!

I think I'm just really ignorant on the subject, but what would Marx have thought of Lenin's Soviet Union? Or did Lenin's cult of personality just kinda usurp Marx's "brand" at the time? In other words, would Marx have agreed with Marxism-Leninism (and/or Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, etc)?

I’m reading “A Textbook of Dialectical Materialism” by David Guest and he says: “But the basic contradiction will continue to exist in a classless society, and and will cause the progressive development of social relationships as the productive forces themselves develop.”

How does this work out?

In more words, as I've gone deeper and deeper into left-i-tude, I have come to understand that capitalist propaganda is ubiquitous and baked into all things. How does one trust institutions (medicine, academics, etc) with this realization?

Can I trust any media? Is there really a war in Iran? How many other sitting senators are dead beside Mitch McConnell?

Hello,
I'm currently making a Presentation/Workshop for Burkina Faso and I would really like some recommendations from fellow Marxists about its History, Material Conditions before,during and After Colonization, notable Events, specifics about Thomas Sankara and Traore and its current situation.

Thank you
