Marx did not merely say they had an opportunity in the abstract, he was directly involved with them and actively seeking to aid them. That is not the action of someone who merely once on the side referenced it as a vague possibility then effectively rejected it, which is what you now have to claim to deny the actual history and Marx’s own words on the topic to maintain the idea that Marx effectively only thought a revolution would happen in the west. Just stop going in circles.
Dawg I feel like I need to let you know that you’re allowed to say you made a simple misunderstanding instead of getting stuck in to a pedantic debate on the internet. Seems like maybe you don’t know this or something. Like, you can just say “ah yeah, my bad” and walk away from your keyboard and everything will be chill as hell afterwards.
There absolutely was, no matter how many times I explain that I never said Marx believed revolution would only happen in the west you keep insisting that I did. Either you misunderstand, or you deliberately lie. This is wrecker bullshit.
I’m telling you that you can for real just walk away from your device and whatever ego charged anger you’ve got building here will fade in like 15 minutes tops. This is not a healthy response to having a misunderstanding on an obscure message board.
What else would you call repeatedly misframing what a comrade is saying? We are both presumably communists, and we’ve both read the literature. If I am telling you that I never once said Marx thought revolution was only possible in the west, and you continue to quadruple-down on that, what possibly could be your goal?
Yes, we indeed had a minor back-and-forth, yet you can’t for some reason admit to misunderstanding my original claim, no matter how much I explain that to you. Now that you’re getting called out on it, you retreat to insult.
Y’all, as a baby leftist who still has All The Reading still to do. This whole back and forth has been fascinating to read. Also, kind of disheartening.
A billion offshoots of Christianity killing each other over how/whether they dunk their babies. Liberals/Lefties in the US pissing each other off and leaving a nice opening for the fascists.
What is with us as a species that we almost seem to prefer arguing fine points with people who we largely agree with while the actual enemies of a common cause laugh and win.
Like I said, fascinating read. Just… “more unites us than divides us” and all that?
Marx also aided and worked with western revolutionaries. He didn’t make a complete pivot, he saw new opportunity where he previously thought there was none. I have never said that Marx only thought a revolution would happen in the west, this is nonsense. Touch grass, comrade.

There was no misunderstanding, thanks.

You’re a real live wire aren’t ya lol
Just don’t like seeing comrades getting all stressed about the internet. My suggestions were sincere advice.
I am when people decide to be annoying. I can have a back and forth with someone without you feeling the need to pretend this is some major issue.

This kind of behavior really isn’t common, especially not in real-life organizing. Don’t be disheartened! Also, if you want a place to start with reading theory, I made an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list you can check out!
