No, that is specifically idealist activism, not materialist activism. Also sociology is a science that follows similar methodology as "hard" sciences
"Science describes some material reality" "science describes some reality"
You put dialectical materialism in the latter category?
Also scientific testing+Marxism and bullshit idealist debates are not in any way similar in methodology
You do realize you're just parroting ideas that were put in your head as a child right?
People who this is targeted at and don't get it when you explain it.
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won't do!
It won't do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!
You haven't seriously engaged with Marx if you think the stuff he wrote isn't still relevant.
Not meant as a diss, but please actually engage with his body of work before making this criticism.
Found the idle rent seeker, or worse, a bootlicker for idle rent seekers.
There is a reason why capitalists and socialists both hate landlords, they are a relic of feudalism.
Oh my god I didn't consider what the brilliant minds of a duck duck go- wait you didn't even cite where the definition is from?
Lol
All capitalism requires a state, the fact that you call an alternate system "state capitalism" just goes to show that you need to do more research on what capitalism is.
Tencent existing as a private enterprise is compatible with the statement you are responding to.
Run by communists with a majority public sector and control of private enterprise? Hmm. Doesn't sound correct.
Buddy capitalism is a specific production system not when you do trade
You're talking about "the common understanding" which is ironic in the context of this discussion.
I would agree with you if I shared your shallow understanding of the subject. Have you read anything rigorous about dialectic materialism or historical materialism?
Also do you think social reality isn't a material reality? That is a rather odd position to have?
