Lmao, I think considering me a "juggernaut" is very funny, I'm just a dude online that happens to take Marxism seriously. Db0 has a bigger claim to that mantle considering they do a ton of good work on the Piracy and FOSS front, which I respect a good deal, even if their theoretical analysis and knowledge of Marxism is severely lacking.
Nah bro you definitely also should give yourself some props. You're probably the most ardent Marxist on the fediverse. Even though your contributions may not have reached the heights of db0's you're still quite influential in your sphere iykwim.
You're the father of fediverse Marxism while db0 is the father of fediverse Anarchism.
I seriously disagree, there are many better than me over on Lemmygrad and Hexbear. I just spend more time on federated instances.
Willingness to engage outside the echo chamber and in good faith makes you better than them in my book
I'd say that's more of an energy consumption and willpower thing than being a "father of Marxism" for the fediverse. Further, @dessalines@lemmy.ml would have that title anyways as the lead dev of Lemmy itself. I wouldn't call the Marxist instances "echo chambers," living in Capitalist countries in general are already echo chambers, it's the Marxist communities that challenge the echo chamber.
As a side note, did you read Blackshirts and Reds?
Not broπ
And by so doing become echo chambers of their critiques. Anywhere on the internet that is saturated with those who think alike is an echo chamber.
I read a bit. I haven't really been able to get through it cuz i have exams coming up. So i should get to it when those are over.
Don't know what you're saying about Dessalines.
As for "echo chambers," they don't exist devoid of context. An "echo chamber" mirroring the positions of the status quo upholds it, while one going against the grain disrupts the status quo. They aren't equally "echo-y."
Good on you for starting Blackshirts and Reds, good luck on your exams!
I'm saying bro is not all that.
They may not be equally echoey but they're still quite echoey and often deafeningly so.
Thanks!
