Whoever calls himself revolutionary and speaks of dictatorship is only an imbecile or a traitor.

Anyone who hears "dictatorship of the proletariat" and thinks it's counter-revolutionary is ignorant of Marxism and needs to educate themselves.

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes If I heard "dictatorship of the proletariat" I would think "Trots squabbling amongst themselves, BAU for them, none of my business" and I would get on with something else having felt no need at all to educate myself about the various factions of lefties.

@TimWardCam @anarchistquotes

You're choosing ignorance, which is nothing to be proud of.

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes I choose to prioritise my finite bandwidth for learning things in other directions, that's all.

@TimWardCam @anarchistquotes

Rephrasing your choice doesn't make it not "choosing ignorance."

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes In which case *everybody* "chooses ignorance" about *most* things. Which is a somewhat obvious, and therefore not interesting, observation.

@TimWardCam @anarchistquotes

It's more the fact that you're aware of your ignorance of Marxism, have been made aware (by me right now) that your perception of Marxism is incorrect, and are seemingly okay with it, which is different from someone just being ignorant of something.

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes I don't have any perception of Marxism other than that lefties are always squabbling with each other (there was even a film scene about it), which I don't think you can claim is "incorrect" with a straight face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WboggjN_G-4

@TimWardCam @anarchistquotes

The fact that you think that the arguments that Marxist have with each other are equivalent to a bunch of people arguing over the names of their groups is proof that you do have a perception of Marxism and that it's blatantly wrong. I don't think you could've shown your ignorance of Marxism any more than trying to compare this video to Marxist infighting, which you very clearly know nothing about.

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes Ah! Meta-squabbling! - Luvverly!!

@TimWardCam @anarchistquotes

Why the hell are you following a Marxist account that posts almost exclusively about Marxism if you clearly have no interest in Marxism?

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes Don't recall, sorry. But you must have posted something I considered interesting, thoughtful or useful at the time.
