The failure of 21st century Marxism is forgetting the material world it was designed to address
👀ing @ China and wondering if those hundreds of millions of “21st century Marxists” Communist Party members forgot to address the material world while becoming a superpower and rapidly outpacing the world hegemon empire economically.
(Though for the record, I agree that reading theory is only half of the necessary equation needed for someone to overcome their liberalism.)
The difference between the PRC and western “Marxism” is they live in reality while westerners live in a platonic realm of ideals. China is the best criticism of western Marxism in existence today and it’s even funnier they have a pejorative for western leftists who don’t actually care about improving the lives of commoners
