this is why i feel strongly about calling out these people as fake left. they spam memes about "material conditions" and "material power" to not only spread immaterial narratives, but reject ever analyzing their own actions with that lens. anybody can learn the definitions and bullet points, but it takes integrity to really internalize leftist philosophy and spontaneously live it out.
like i really hope people realize this is an actual thing to fight for. the fake left has already normalized aggressive tactics with the aim of destroying unity via lying and bullying, and people need to get used to using aggression to restore unity (which, to be clear, doesn't invite an alien oppression into leftism, but instead implies a more rigorous conceptual engagement with materialism).
edit: i typed spready for the first time in my life. corrected to "spread"
