In other news I am very much enjoying the way 'virtue signalling lefty' has become a phrase that allows people incapable of making a coherent argument to feel really clever.
I have pointed out many times the things me and friends got mixed up in growing up, I know only too well that I am not innately 'virtuous' (if such a thing even exists in people) just for the record.
And I don't particularly consider myself some super idealogical morally pure socialist - I have run business' most of my adult life after all....
So it's ok to argue with what I actually say rather than a caricature. Safe
Unlike the average university educated middle-class marxist (nothing personal btw) I have actually been in the streets (albeit briefly) and so I know this much from lived experience not theory books....
If you cant show the average hood yout at least *some* material improvement in your life that will not hear a word you are saying about ideas. They cannot eat books after all...
And lastly anti-colonial 'black Marxism' is mixed up with many other political threads, trends histories that are not accounted for in Marx or most of his European progeny, naturally....
Ok maybe couple more tings... lol
Place no one on a unrealistic pedestal, obviously.
