  • The problem with the Boycat app is that it goes too far and lists EVERY single company (which is not a problem if you want to make sure you’re not supporting genocide). However, this ends up being overwhelming for the average person. The point of the BDS movement is to have material gain through collective action via targeted boycotts. That’s why the list is so small.




















  • The Marxist dialectic is just a way of thinking thats more accurate than anything thats come before it. At some point some other philosopher will end up devising a way of thinking that surpasses the Marxist dialectic. Philosophy isn’t a static thing. Marx built on Hegel’s ideas of dialectics taking it from it idealist sense and flipping it to apply the material world. This is how Marx was able to arrive at the conclusion that capitalism could not last. Socialism and communism will have contradictions like the capitalism that came before it. To overcome those contradictions, maybe a new way of thinking must be surmised - we do not know. For now, it is paramount to act on what we do know and overthrow capitalism. Marxism is a science. Just like Einstein expanded upon Newton’s theory of gravity; Mao and Lenin expanded on the theories of Marx. It’s a process. Theorising “will dialectics always exist?” is a pointless exercise. A different theory will arise. Dialectics is just the most accurate right now.
