I am sorry but no, I won’t go more into this. I could be wrong, but I am seriously not okay with some of the things .ml folks get away with saying, like it’s okay to put kulaks to death. This is why I am having such a response to this after coming across the CRT and DEI articles.
Everyone who doesn’t have generational wealth is working class. Period, doesn’t matter how much they have in the short term. But I even disagree with the whole guillotine uber wealthy folks thing too. No one needs to die, people need to chill out with the extremist shit. You don’t fix wrong with doing more wrong. Otherwise what’s the difference between you and authoritarians?
I wouldn't suggest .ml or any part of Lemmy as a good source. If you want to learn about Marxism there are better sources though honestly any Intro to Poli Sci book you find at a library would do a decent job of explaining Marxism. If you prefer a video most of MIT's intro classes are online.
I wouldn't suggest Lemmy simply because far too often the "Marxist" is someone who seemingly got most of their political education from forum posts and infographics. It's weird how many Marxists here know little about their ideology and are merely anti-Western.
I missed the killing the rich people bit. Much of my family is wealthy. Most of their friends are decent folks who were born or got lucky. I don't think they should be killed.
Violent revolutions never work out the way participants want them to. The Iranian revolution was supposed to overthrow the Shah not make a theocratic autocracy but that's what happened. People who think it will work this time need to remember Iran, Cambodia, or many of the more recent revolutionary movements where everything went badly for all.
