  • What exactly is a scholar monk? Trots have a selective canon, generally one intended to promote the idea that Trotsky was the co-revolutionary with Lenin and that one should engage primarily with Trotsky’s speculative (and historically, a failure revolutionarily) works in exile. They talk about transitional programs so much they forget to engage critically with their failure to produce the revolution that requires transition.

    I think there is a parallel in that Trotskyists are often correctly labeled as “academic Marxists”, which is really just an insult meaning, “a self-labeled Marxist that is wrong and does no organizing but uses a lot of words and references from Marxist theory”. Is that a monk scholar? They catalog and go on at length about hypotheticals but fail to do praxis, e.g. converting the nonbelievers and educating the believers?

    Marxists.org is useful in that it makes works available for free and is an easy to remember domain. There are other projects doing similar things but they don’t have the luck of owning a domain called marxists.org.





  • Your words and opinions are a regurgitation of ancient red scare propaganda. They are easy to recognize when you actually learn (or really, unlearn) how language and narratives have been crafted against the left. You have no knowledge of this so you believe your language, which could be lifted from the mouth of a genocidal US general in the 60s (or a racist anarchist in the 30s!), is actually your own unique idea and not something you have absorbed from your context - your upbringing, your education, your social circle, and the media you are exposed to.

    Again, you know basically nothing here. You tacitly admit it with every obvioua fib. Just be honest and ask questions instead of trying to fight when you have tied both of your own hands behind your back.



  • Not an expert but I’d put it somewhere around “using ‘tech’ (as in computers, software, etc.) to carry about fraudalism.”

    So you have no idea at all and are just guessing based on the composite words. And yet you try to tell people China has this model?

    What is the right word to use when someone is pretending to know things when they have never even tried to learn them?

    If you’re wondering where I’d put feudalism, I’d be something like “limiting People’s economic (and sometimes social) mobility through leveraging ownership of resources the person needs to survive”.

    And you would be incorrect. Many previous and current economic system can be described this way, including capitalism. This does not distinguish feudalism and you would misinfoem others if you continue to make shit up like this.

    Have some basic humility.
