>Marxism is a method of socioeconomic analysis that uses a materialist interpretation of historical development, better known as historical materialism, to understand class relations and social conflict as well as a dialectical perspective to view social transformation.
It surprises me that american marxists don't know what marxism is, or you are just baiting?

>>16227928
That's literally Marxism, you are baiting.

>>16227939

Reading comprehension, also as Marxism has developed over time into various branches and schools of thought, there is currently no single definitive Marxist theory. Some Marxist schools of thought place greater emphasis on certain aspects of classical Marxism while rejecting or modifying other aspects. Some schools have sought to combine Marxian concepts and non-Marxian concepts which has then led to contradictory conclusions. It has been argued that there is a movement toward the recognition of historical and dialectical materialism as the fundamental conceptions of all Marxist schools of thought. This view is refuted by some post-Marxists such as Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, who claim that history is not only determined by the mode of production, but also by consciousness and will.

I'm not saying don't read stirner, and the reading list only focuses on marxism, if it were to include all it's influences and critics it would be way bigger.

You're right, these marxist texts are always already deconstructing themselves, they're their own refutation.

I'm talking to an actual communist and I said her faith in communism reminded me of religious beliefs, to which she replied Marxism was a science, and Marx was to economy and politics like Einstein is to physics.
Is she right? What the fuck
