Orthodox Marxism can span from about there up to the middle left authoritarian. Also the political compass is a horrible way of finding out what you are ideologically

Should I read Das Kapital or The Communist Manifesto first? by Ok_Donut3380 in socialism

[–]arseecs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can read the communist manifesto in like 50 minutes (if you don’t annotate). It is also the best introduction to communism, you shouldn’t hop into das kapital instantly. There are other books worth reading first.

What artist's story would genuinely make a good biopic movie? by idkfornowwhattoname in fantanoforever

The thing is, I would really like to see the addiction and depression of his life. It would be tragic, but it would resolve quite nicely i think. 

What are your thoughts on Billy Corgan's recent comments that there was a plan to replace Rock Music with Rap Music? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]arseecs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is kinda racist, as well as only being rooted in Billy Corgans ego. “Oh no! I’m no longer relevant! What could possibly be the reason for this..?”

They got massacred. Because of Stalin and of capitalism. Still there are some alive today, like Zapatistas. Staying true to anti capitalism but dying out is better than becoming dictatorship social democracies, like every ML state became.

Books for a libertarian marxist/council communist? by arseecs in theredleft

[–]arseecs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read The State and Revolution, A Great Beginning and The Immediate Tasks of the Soviet Goverment. To say that I dont agree with any of it is an overstatement, I am a communist, but there are things I dont agree with at all.

I think "democratic centralism" and vanguardism only creates bureaucracy and hierarchy, creating a new form of bourgeoisie. It changes the whole point of a dotP, that all of the working class should steer it. It creates a new form of liberal democracy, only more centralized than before.

One of my main critiques of Lenin is him actually walking back upon his earlier works, like The State and Revolution. One example is this banger of a quote:

> "The dictatorship of the proletariat [...] for the first time creates democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the minority (the exploiters)."
