That'd be Engels though

Got a full pound of the blue stuff.

Not insinuating that's a good thing, especially given that the democratic party at the time was infested with racists.

Proletarianization is the transformation of members of a society into proletarians. You seem to be implying that you think modern Russia has a substantial portion of its population in the peasantry, which is not my understanding. Urban industrial proletarians are not the only proletarians.

It was WAY less anti-communist than I'm used to. I felt like it acknowledged the anti-communist bent of many characters and it distorted Marxism somewhat, but on the whole? I felt like I was watching the same movie liberals were watching, and that's rare. The most anti-communist characters in the movie were political enemies of the protagonist and I feel like the sense of unease they invoked was intentional on the part of the director. It felt like Nolan understood that Franco and the white army were fascists, and that the audience was meant at times to be cheering for people who had held membership in the Communist party. It could have been way worse.

You caught me being sneaky. Yeah, I'm a marxist redpiller as part of my militant materialism but I don't have the bandwidth to prosecute struggle sessions on it yet

Romanticists: You can't just apply material analysis to something as sacred as love!

Materialists: observe.

Utilitarianism isn't an analytical framework, it's just a common sense framing of the objective of normative ethics. Do what results in the best world. I think Che would agree with Singer's main points, and if Singer had a correct understanding of reality, he'd advocate everyone be like Che.

Egoism is the only internally consistent ideology that isn't Marxism, more Stirner memes!

That is not what jreg is about. Jreg's entire point is that people need to be ideologically literate because "normal" and "moderate" don't mean anything. He works to try to make political ideology entertaining enough to make it more accessible beyond the overton window. The character(s) he puts on don't have any reflection on his actual beliefs and they never will because the point is to get people to think and arrive at their own conclusions. His anti-centrism is a parody, because satire and political comedy is his niche, and he does a damn good job at it
