It's less about economics than it is about history, about understanding and communicating the problems of the people close to you. Of being organised in a party and working collectively.

It's not the easy way out, but it's the meaningful way out. Watch the videos, follow the left wing you tubers, that's a reasonable start. That's what got me intrigued. And now I'm here. :)

I have to pick one leader to follow, can't i follow multiple leaders?

Sorry, my bad.

I meant leaders plural. Based on your own judgement, not someone else's.

I also struggle to self read. If you have a Marxist reading group, it would potentially be helpful. If there aren't any in your area, the Marx Madness podcast is pretty solid (Season 1 is a bit rough as they were learning how to podcast, Season 2 and onwards really improves).

omg can't I just use ask lemmygrad for all my Marxist questions? That's so smart!

[–] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

That's a lot of reading too. And sometimes contradicting, also. :D

hmm, well that is okay, i guess the most important thing rn is to help out with the palestine cause rn so joining a local group maybe? but there are podcasts out there that do some funny talkings with a socialist leaning that you might like?

On a side note how good is Hakim, an old ultra friend of mine watches him a lot after i introduced him to leftist theory but he became an ultra

[–] letranger@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago

he does the podcast the deprogram, so i don't think he is an ultra, i am pretty sure they like china just a straight ml

What does ultra mean? I remember reading something Mr. Mao wrote not being 'ultra democracy' but he didn't explain it in the text

'Ultra' isnt just a marxist term, you find it in football fans as well.

It basically means 'ultra dedicated', its not a good thing in the context of Marxism, as Marxism is a scientific ideology that wants to be criticized and adapated, evolved in line with its scientific thinking.

An ultra basically treats Marxism like a bible and refuses to budge or adapt there ideological position.
