I am interested in politics, and even tho i am not a communist, i am interested in what can be learned from it and i also want to learn more about political ideologies as a whole, instead of speaking out of my ass whenever someone mentions communism and potentially say some bullshit. What do you think?

Edit: thanks for all the answers! I swear i read them all, i just don’t know how to answer to each of them, but thanks for all the recommendations!

    Marxists today are spoiled, divided nationalists who do not reach to other struggling communities, and instead wish their team, their country would be proven successful while others fail. They do not care for worker unity. They support their bourgeoisie, their power structure and tend to reinforce class from the culture they’re from. They do not criticize their own governments believing they can “fix them” or that their government is doing it right. They also invoke his name as a tool. And above all most Marxists today sit atop exploited laborers and pretend by acknowledging certain class divisions and inequalities, they are doing something. Ineffective, divided, moralists who naturally reaffirm class. They are reformers not revolutionaries and in that he would likely say: “all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom” aka, a joke.

    No he would not lol. 🙄

      This is all vagueposting on your part, again. You keep fighting a vague strawman and not directing your criticism at an actual existing group, and your criticism avoids any direct references because then it falls apart immediately. You still have a shallow understanding of Marx.
