you know i hate this whole "in an ideal world" discussion, and this may be my marxism framework speaking, but who gives a fuck about this "ideal" work. who cares!!!!!!!

the basis of marxism-leninism/communism/leftism/whatever the fuck you wanna call it is dialectical materialism. it's the importance of the real world relationships. who gives a fuck about ideal conditions, the ones that matter are the real materials conditions we are living in today and how we navigate through them and what we can do. you do what you can in your material framework to the betterment of your community and you fight within your power to change your material conditions.

you don't sit around and bemoan about some "ideal world" that doesn't exist where everything is "good" and get disillusioned when it doesn't work like that in the real world. you get off your ass and you do what you can to shape the world around for better within the structures of power and you fight to change those structures that impede the betterment of your class.

stop crying about an ideal world and go do something for the real one!!!!! that's what matters

#and see this is why people can't understand Marx without reading Hegel first #bc marxism is a theory of awakening. of realization. it's about stopping looking at the world of the ideas and focusing on the material #on reality. about stop waxing poetics about the meaning of things and shift the focus to their effect on the world #it's about realizing that the world isn't like it is bc of whatever ideal concept you have but it was shaped like that #and you collectively have the power to shape it different. be it inside the structures or outside them #they were made by men they can be destroyed by men. nothing is ideal it's all the result of material acts #and like 'leftists' have this passion of talking about the ideal world while doing fuck all for reality #like sis we had this conversation before. go read Sartre im begging. why are we fighting over some ideal when people are hungry #anyways this is how you alienate yourself. from your fellow humans and from yourself. and this is what the class in power wants #stop talking about an ideal world and arguing about semantics and do something #who gives a fuck about the ideal world!!!!! we don't live there. care about the real world with the real people in it #sorry i got triggered i promise i will go back to talking about those gringos
