When studying Marx and Marxist authors in isolation, there seems to be so many ideological struggles that one may take independently without critique from others. So, if socialism/communism is not completely inevitable, how do I form appropriate arguments for the use of Marxism to advance the cause of the proletariat against that of the ruling bourgeosie without falling to arguments about inevitability, "the greater good", the capitalists being "evil", et cetera? Are there any more advanced comrades here with experience showing the ideologically backwards, or even intermediate, the way of proper Marxist analysis?

I don’t know how to directly address your questions; I’m not entirely sure what they all are: it seems to be several questions, and some I’m having trouble parsing.

If you peruse the table of contents of Georges Politzer’s book, you may recognize some of your questions, allowing you to drill down into some answers: Elementary Principles of Philosophy

Join us in Awe of the beauty of Nature...

Among the greatest contributions to human thought stands the tradition of Dialectical Materialism - a hard-labored theory of metaphysics that offers tools from which to construct objective analysis of material phenomena, including those societal, cultural, and scientific.

Let this community be a space to train our application of the theory so that we may, as occupants of the present, better fulfill our obligation to the future.
