    False. I never suggested bickering as a whole is useless. Sometimes it’s helpful to inform others, like I just did for you. You’re welcome.

    And the fact that you willfully dismiss the invaluable lessons of the past, particularly with regards to class struggle, tells me all I need to know — as if a century is a long time ago, I have grandparents still alive born from that time period ha. Neglect history, continue to wander aimlessly.

    Lol @ homie. Have a nice day

      I’m not bickering, just informing you.

      So is everyone you accuse of bickering. We’re informing you. That is the most basic premise of dialectics. Without the discussion of thesis and antithesis, there is no synthesis. When one party “informs” another and expects them to accept the thesis uncritically, that is autocracy.

      I never neglected the lessons of the past, but they are most relevant to the conditions that produced them. You are neglecting all the history that happened in between. I spent a lot of time with my great grandmother born in 1915. The world is a very different place. We can’t keep dusting off grandma’s praxis.

      You are also neglecting the most basic premise of materialism: align your actions to the actual conditions, not idealism. Continue to neglect materialism for idealism, and you will wander aimlessly.
