Kind of having a difficult time understanding/finding sources on it. Humanism seems pretty cool at first glance, though I haven’t read much so I can’t be sure.

What do you guys know and think about it?

    After reading a lot about Marxist-Humanism, I begin to see that humanism, and centering on human beings are not the same at all. For example, Juche supposes that the man is the master of everything, and the master of his own world and destiny. [1] However, this is not at all the same as Marxist-Humanism. Different conceptions of humanism in marxist circles have been brought up over the years. However, it is clear that Humanism has been used in a revisionist manner. In the case of Bukharin, a well known revisionist, he utilised “Socialist Humanism”, which denounces collectivisation and supports class collaboration. [2] Even the MIA states that Marxist-Humanism only arose after Khrushchev’s Secret Speech, which it also claimed that it also arose during the Prague Spring. MIA also states that it never gained a foothold, and even compared it to Eurocommunism which shows you how questionable the ideology really is. [3]

    Other comments state that Humanism is idealism, it may be the case. I’m not exactly sure. But for all I know, it’s that Marxist-Humanism and Humanism in general is utilised by revisionists, and therefore should be opposed.
