Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us
Marxist-Leninist ☭
Interested in Marxism-Leninism, but don’t know where to start? Check out my “Read Theory, Darn it!” introductory reading list!
That’s great! Have you read the chapters in Capital that go over the compulsion for the reserve army of labor? Capitalism’s systemic expulsion of labor while multiplying its numbers is very well documented, and I’m sure you can find data backing it up.
You can use data that has been hypothesized and tested empirically with Marxist analysis. Dialectical matetialism places material reality over sensory experience, whereas empiricism focuses mostly on the latter as it engages with matter. Empiricism, taken to a vulgar extent, merely states that it believes that which is directly tested without taking it beyond and connecting it to other phenomena (in oversimplified terms). Data taken from social surveys is absolutely valid for Marxist analysis, Marx, Engels, Lenin, etc all use data taken by bourgeois sources in Capital, Imperialism, etc.
What is the goal of your research? You mentioned doing this for a university.
Yep, my understanding is that idealist empiricism has stood relatively counterposed to dialectical matetialism, and as such empiricist Marxists have often fallen guilty of idealism. It’s an area I’m pretty uninformed on though, hence needing to investigate it further.
Have you read Materialism and Empirio-Criticism? It’s a work I have been meaning to read, might be worth your while.
What a guy, that’s amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Chávez also had a catchphrase on the show, akin to Donald Trump’s “You’re fired!” from The Apprentice. Chávez was commonly filmed expropriating property owned by rich people, which he dramatized by pointing at the building and shouting “¡Exprópiese!”.
This is an amazing bit and my day is so much better now that I learned this, holy shit
Mega mega mega THREAD 
I happened to connect with an amazing person, and I love being married to them. I would have been fine had I been single, or dated casually for the rest of my life, but nevertheless the person I met has changed both me and my life completely.
I hope he’s having fun 
Awesome! If you need anything getting started on it let me know, it’s pretty much just copying and pasting.
Hey everyone, it’s time to come discuss Capital again!
Also, I am hoping to find someone who would like to run next year’s Capital reading threads. All you really need to do is copy over this year’s formatting and make any adjustments you like, and add me to the notification list so I can pin/unpin the threads. Thanks!

Congrats on being principled enough to get erased from their view, they haven’t done that for me it seems. Probably because I tend to stick to Lemmy.ml on my .ml account, but still, impressive on your part
Agreed, it goes very hard. I might be partial to the WPK’s over it though.
Fun bit idea would be a h&s tier list, with all major communist parties. I’m partial to Angola’s and the WPK’s.
Very big moves, I wonder if the trend of accelerating Russian advances after taking strongholds will continue.
Oh, great recommendation!
