Friendly reminder that Mao had amazing theory and that, despite all the atrocities committed under his rule and the cancer that is modern Maoism, had amazing theory, if there's one thing the Chinese revolution showed is an example of how universalist human emancipation can be.
Assessing Stirner's status as little more than a meme philosopher is not something exclusively Holla Forumsyps do, nerd.
Now leave my thread and let the big boys talk theory pls ty.
Ayden Hall
Hahaha property rights are a spook!! Its my thread now faggot
Jordan Hernandez
Gulags are too humane for your types.
That being said, some of the rationale behind the Cultural Revolution actually was sound, even if the execution left a lot to be desired.
Jace Martin
No it's my thread
Isaac Mitchell
?
Yeah no idea where that post came from tbh. Reminder to hide and report both tankies and smashies alike, especially the Stalinists and Stirnerites who literally have nothing to contribute ever and just shitpost with their ebin meme macros.
The way Mao approached the peasantry was very different from Stalin who forced them to become modern workers while Mao had them emancipate themselves as workers. In this sense Mao was much more of a universalist than Stalin.

Yes, universalism. Mao, in spite of his failures, was a universalist who consistently believed in the universality of theory. He would have rejected post-Maoism (Dengism) that would claim the Chinese cannot have democracy because democracy is supposedly a western-developed thing and thus only fit for the west, which would be an example of particularism (ironically coming very close to liberal identity politics). Read about it.

I'm not an ML or Maoist but I don't just readily accept gorrilions of murders when the people coming up with this shit are neo-nazis
not gonna happen
Gabriel James
not gonna happen
Mason Gomez
I love his new democracy and democratic dictatorship tbh.
Juan Bell
On the gorillions matter, I like to roll with what Zizek says in Marxist Lord of Misrule: lacan.com/zizmaozedong.htm (ctrl+F "mao" and start reading around where he first mentions him).
Nah, the anarchist tradition definitely has good theory and thinkers but that one guy ITT is definitely not really honoring that. I mean he can legitimately not keep himself from accompanying his every shitpost with at least one funny jpeg of a meme philosopher whenever he posts and he puts himself in this thread just to derail it.
Austin Jones
a bummer he didn't put into practice while he ruled china for 30 years then
Jaxon Sanders
The cultural revolution was anti-materialist nonsense. Third world scum need to stop appropriating marxism since they are incapable of appreciating it.
Xavier Gutierrez
He did. One could argue that he in fact went too far in his universalism; completely discarding all human subjectivity and grief (see text: ).
Daniel Scott
ITT
Liam Young
bump for good thread.
Nolan Diaz
it's like xexizy was his ghostwriter
Jose Mitchell
keep eating up that bourgie propaganda
Liam Martin
Did he really die from a bee sting? How low T was this nerd?

I like Mao and the universality of his theory and that one can apply maoism to their particular conditions.
Stirnerism or nihilist communism/anarcho-nihilism is for middle class edgelords who are barely learning how to leftist philosophy. If morality, society, ideology, and anything else that doesn't exist in the material world are just spooks, then the sense of self, the ego and individuality are also simply spooks for they can not be proven to exist outside of a subjective existence. Just as class, nation, and state have no meaning without a society or some other contradiction, the self, the ego and the individual has no meaning or existence without a collective or some other contradiction. Also, language is a spook.
tl;dr If you just skipped to the tl;dr then you have proven yourself to be a lvl 50 dumbfuck who can't or won't learn more leftist philosophy. Lurk moar.
Jaxson White
It's a shitposter. I fell for the bait.
Benjamin Allen
Yes, and the only one to attend his funeral was Bruno Bauer, an equally irrelevant meme philosopher from the young Hegelians clique.
Noah Williams
Holla Forums here, I know two fifths of bugger all about leftist philosophy. Where do I begin?
Lucas Cox
Mao was a bourgeois class collaborationist and his followers are all tumblr freaks
Surely if his theory is so amazing you'll be able to describe it so even an idiot can understand. What is "Maoism" exactly?
Blake Robinson
shigged and digged
Brayden Ortiz
Why does just about every major self-proclaimed commie leader of the last century seem to have had their own special snowflake theory? Is it because they're all the despotic dictators who need a reason to justify their rule?
Evan Hughes
Max looked like the nostalgiacritic?
Sebastian Ramirez
Because they adapted socialist ideas to their current time ands place.
James Allen
power corrupts
Kevin Peterson
Yes.
Stirner was so autistic that the best he's managed to do with his work is attract DeviantArt spergs to his intellectual legacy. Let that sink in.
Nolan Butler
I thought that was a central part of being an egoist. Y'all are basically just right-libertarians who realized capitalism is shit but still wanna fuck little girls right?
Lucas Cooper
shit I realized you were posting those ironically after. sorry I'm like really autistic.
