Marxists and other leftists are ultimately idealists because they have unrealistic aspirations that contradict how this world works on a material basis. Marxists like to believe that their predictions are founded on dispassionate analysis that foretells how history is inevitably going to unfold, that capitalism's contradictions will bring about a revolution for worker's to seize the means of production, but in actuality Marxism at its root is founded on wishful thinking. The origin of your analysis is your dislike of your circumstances, not a desire for truth. You then formulated a prophecy to ameliorate your distress. Your analysis is merely a post-hoc rationalization (cope) for an endresult that you've selected beforehand. Your conclusions are strongly biased by that.

Prove this.

Give concrete examples of this from Marxists.
>The origin of your analysis is your dislike of your circumstances, not a desire for truth.
It's both.
>You then formulated a prophecy to ameliorate your distress.
Where is this prophecy?
>Your analysis is merely a post-hoc rationalization (cope) for an endresult that you've selected beforehand. Your conclusions are strongly biased by that.

Yes you have reached same conclusion that I have reached. I tried to confront many marxists on it but they never engage in good faith. Also I have tried to engage this place with many such posts only to get myself banned many times lol. Marxism is just like the theology and then they call theology "idealism".

But I think sooner or later a lot of people who engaged with left in the best years of their lives will reach this conclusion, those who were honest in it.

What a stinky post. What are these aspirations that contradict the material basis of our reality? Can you show them to me?
>capitalism's contradictions will bring about a revolution for worker's to seize the means of production
This is a sparknotes reading of marxism. Contradictions in capitalism give rise to confrontations between capital and the proletariat. Whether these confrontations create a negation of capitalism is an entirely different matter.
>Wishful thinking
Wishful thinking is believing the current reality is immutable. That it will never change. The Roman's might have felt the same, and than Western Rome was no more.
>is your dislike of your circumstances, not a desire for truth
Actually its just the opposite. Marxism is the expression of truth in its rawest, and most traumatic form. It has little to do with circumstance. You cower from it OP, because that truth is traumatizing to look upon for long.
>You then formulated a prophecy to ameliorate your distress
The Christian God is an an ignorant serpentine creator. And the Soviet Union was paradise lost on Earth.

Like OP said, Marxism in the end is just another ideology to fill people's god hole. Look at how uyghas in the thread are reacting to these claims. Almost with the same religious fervour and zeal you would find in a church.
I hate to break it to you chief. There's never gonna be communism. Capitalism will die but there's no guarantee it will be replaced by something better. As long as resources are scarce violence will persist.

Chomsky and his friends definitely proved that there was no genocide which is common sense because a country being bombed to bits by the United States Air Force having trouble securing a consistent food supply is simple cause and effect.

The only reason the myth is kept alive is because the Vietnamese wanted a moral justification for interfering in another nation.

They're doing that because agriculture is expensive and if they can trick everyone into eating shittier and easier to manufacture food it's good for their profit margins. Also they're sanctioning a lot of countries that provide input for fertilizers like Russia and Belarus so the costs are increasing for normal food.

Americans are consuming 5x earth ecological capacity

 No.1766840

>>1766827
MISDIRECTION. Ever notice that they always use America as an example of "first world living standards"? Everyone knows America is horribly inefficient and even renewable energy are disdained on a political rather than rational level. For example by the same metric you use we only need 2.8x Earth's ecological capacity if everyone lived like a Frenchman, and France is hardly on the cutting edge. Is a 2x or 3x efficiency factor achievable? Yes it's been accomplished hundreds of times in history.

The ecological argument is absolute bullshit.

Idealism is the belief that the nature of the world is consciousness; consciousness precedes matter; consciousness decides matter.

Materialism is the belief that the nature of the world is matter; that matter comes first; and that matter determines consciousness

So your criticism isn't even framed properly within the terms. You need to learn what Marxism is first before you attempt to comment on it.

Let me guess. Trad Orthodox Christianity and Duginism are not idealism? Jordan B Peterson of the East type bullshit.

yeah it's perfect for preventing action from the downtrodden classes. It's a consolation prize. Keep your head down and lick boot and you'll have treasures in heaven. But if you become powerful (like the clergy or the king) you'll roast in hell. It's a huge cope. Not nihilistic at all. Clearly a narrative that serves power once you realize that death is death and the living wish to rule over other living beings.
