DialecticalWaves @dialecticalwaves.bsky.social · 28/04/2026liberals understand how to blame structures for mass murder when it comes to blaming socialism for hundreds of millions of deaths but act utterly perplexed when they look in a mirror. to them their beloved capitalism is natural and the churn of blood that sustains it just a necessary evil 000

DialecticalWaves @dialecticalwaves.bsky.social · 27/05/2025'left' is a social construct. how we define it has a material effect on power and how its distributed. consider for example how the concept of 'person' has historically been used to justify slavery, strip abortion rights, dehumanize lgbtq+ people, and empower corporations 100

DialecticalWaves @dialecticalwaves.bsky.social · 24/05/2025marxism is not crude materialism. marx argued that the end of capitalism would be precipitated by class consciousness. notice that class consciousness is something mental. it's an idea but its rooted in material reality. there is a dialectical relationship between ideology and economic base 110
DialecticalWaves @dialecticalwaves.bsky.social · 23/05/2025im sure this wont ever happen but on the off chance someone somewhere somehow mispresents marxism and makes some silly claim about historical materialism this passage does a good job of clarifying it 120
DialecticalWaves @dialecticalwaves.bsky.social · 20/05/2025capitalists do what theyve done for centuries. liberals refuse to think outside the present news cycle. they mock anybody who thinks the past is relevant. to them history is disconnected. to them only the present matters. but without the past they completely fail to understand it 010
