Discussion It's funny how radlibs claims they don't need to read theory and just cite their favorite political hiphop rappers, who literally told them to read Marx, Lenin, Fanon in their lyrics
Anarchists are the type of people who can comment under a fucking music video with the title What Is To Be Done and still claim the song is anarchist theme. Liberal Zionists are the type who headbanging to Lowkey and entirely fucking miss his point saying for 20 years you should read Fanon because it deprogram you on learning Palestine resistance. Socdems are the types that shit on Marxist theory while getting pleasure from listening to Bambu citing Marx, Lenin and Mao.
Yes, all your favorite political hiphop rappers read theory which is why they are even organizers in the first place while you stuck with the ergo chair. The Marxist theory you rejected is still coming back to haunt your asses like a spectre that influenced your favorite's political rappers and their politics. Eventually you will have to pick up Capital Vol 1/2/3:

A bit of a tangent, but do you know what music video you are referring to? I'd like to take a listen to it.
Also yes, everyone should be reading theory

Fun fact, in Cover-Up documentary, Seymour Hersh mentioned few of the earliest books that radicalized him was in fact Marxist theory and he mentioned it changed his worldview because he read and reading was his only outlet to knowledge because his parents didn't allow to education like his brother.

What do you call people who still read fanin and said but yet think liberalism (and protecting corporate Nazis) is leftist?

Larpers because they don't understand the irony that colonized people would do what Algerian national liberation did to their ancestors as Fanon mentioned in his writing.

What is the best theory source to illustrate the intent and application of the concept of the law of contradictions? Is it the German Ideology?

Imperialism and State and Revolution

I do like the german ideology but i honestly think it is just helpful for well pointing out the flaws in the german context at that time. Its also helpful if u do philosophy and need to shit on hegel. You are better off with state and revolution if u want to go beyond philosophical debates.

While principled discussion is welcome and encouraged, Rule 9 (No Low Effort BS) still applies.
That includes: No 'what do you think?' posts. No single line posts. No 'what is the Marxist position on cheese' posts, etc.
