Hey gang,

Just wanted to swing by and wish you all a happy, what I like to call, PATRON DAY. Celebrated on the birthday of the OG Communist Patron to Marx's ramblings - Engels.

You are all my Engelses, even though I would never be as cocky as to compare myself to Marx. Without Engels, he would've probably been a homeless drunk, and without you, I would've probably been a small home drunk haha. So thanks

Also - a new video is coming sooner than you think! And yes - it's on the Nazis again. I'm on a SPREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I have great respect for Marx and Engels, as I have for Beethoven and Sophocles and Leonardo da Vinci. But I would not expect that everyone writes like Sophocles, or composes like Beethoven, or paints (and does ten thousand other things) like Leonardo. Marx was hugely innovative for his times and gave a great contribution to the birth of the Socialist movement, but he was also dependant on an idea of history with its immutable mechanisms that nobody (outside the Marxist movement) would support now. And he was pathetically eurocentric (I said it with the same love that I had for my grandmother and her fixations when she was alive). Shouldn't then be time to move and begin questioning our own most basic assumption? The working classes are not the bringer of a bright future, even if they may contribute to it. And Socialism is not a certainty, even if I wish otherwise. And - ready to scream? - science is not the key for a better future. There is no 'scientific materialism' not just because Marxian doctrines cannot be called 'scientific' in the sense of positive sciences, but also because science itself is permeated by ideology, as it has shown with it embrace for eugenics and 'harmless atomic energy'.

Agree that rehashed and remodelled politics of the 19th and 20th centuries are in no way wholesale applicable as we scan the horizons of the second quarter of the 21st century, though some cherry picking of timeless tenets would benefit required based foundation for new approaches.
