>>24571917Nothing after 1945 is worth paying attention to, at least in the realm of praxis, unless you're studying it as "what not to do" (see: Marcuse, Habermas) or a national socialist reading third worldism like Ba'athism as valid praxis (which is correct but too esoteric for most retards to handle). As a rule of thumb, if a Marxist on the internet think it's good (like some gay low IQ agrarian Mexican movement that thinly calls itself socialist or some poopoo commune whose first constitutional act was to kill itself) then it's bad.
Not only is post-Marxist anti-fatalist Marxian socialism the most interesting Marxism, pre-Marxist socialism (Proudhon, Blanqui, Blanc, many others, including many utopian socialists) are also very interesting and have much more of "Marxism" in them than brainwashed internet Marxists (non-readers) think. And even more interesting is the fact that Marx is full of ambivalence about fatalism vs. voluntarism and you can easily read him against the grain as a voluntarist and even as a Sorelian "as if" fatalist who just wanted the working class to believe hard enough to think communism was a fait accompli, and thus commit to the bit hard enough to push things past a point of no return. He was so traumatized by '48-'49 that he had a "never again" attitude: better to gas all lumpen than let them "elect" a Louis Napoleon or accept a Stalin, and better to kick the proletariat into maximum overdrive, even it leads to a Grande Peur, September Massacre, or Terror, than miss another opportunity to throw the bourgeoisie off-kilter. Marx had a lot of the Blanquist in him, he was just by turns ashamed of its vulgarity and "untheoreticalness" and too autistic to give up the opportunity to be the Seal of the Political Economists (pbuh) and the True Final Hegel.
