I find this quite disingenuous. No one said that they are only thinking about the presidency? I sure as hell am not. I do everything I can in my local area to have socialist and leftist candidates representing me.

Expand your political imagination, this isn't enough if you want to fight fascism.

Lol worker's parties don't need bourgeois elections to win power. See, China, ussr, Cuba

Literally expand your political imagination outside of the presidency please. Democrats are doing genocide right now, things are going to keep getting worse the longer we don't build up a mass workers party. You can vote for Harris in November but building up a counter to Democrats and Republicans should be your primary concern.

Stuff like this is the expansion of the state the Lenin railed so strongly against.

Why not just have the beeper let the nurse know? Do you think the nurses aren't washing their hands intentionally? Only report it if they're like, constantly not doing it! The goal here is surveillance and punishment not improved sanitation

The US isn't a person though. It is a system that relies on imperialist domination in order to survive. Do you have evidence that the system has fundamentally changed away from that? Because that would be some pretty miraculous evidence.

It isnt funny when people are both racist and transphobic and accuse a cis black woman of being trans for the crime of doing well at the Olympics

If you see anyone outsourcing their critical media analysis on world news, you are encouraged to report them.

It seems like Marxism isn’t a science so much as a philosophy about sciences.

Conversely Marxism applied to politics is an attempt to apply that model as rigorously as possible given the constraints the people doing the method are under.

Marxism and MLism as an ideology is fundamentally about studying the relationships between things through: looking at past history and current conditions, hypothesizing, and testing that hypothesis.

basic physical quantities like length and charge

You know that those are also social abstractions of complicated phenomenon too right? Or did you not read about what a social construct was because sociology is a soft science for girls? /s

Also have you ever opened up Capital or Imperialism and looked at how many basic quantities they use when constructing their analysis?

But sociology describes ideas, not material properties

This is a fundamentally idealist way of viewing sociology, although most sociology you're exposed to is idealist in nature.

Anyway, my point was that neither a system of government/economy nor pushing ideas are ways of describing the world.

??? What does that have to do with Marxism? I think the disconnect here is that you do not understand what Marxism is, you have only had second and third hand exposure to it.
