  • Real world dialectical material analysis

    I finally understood what has bothered me about more than a few Marxist groups, when Guerrilla History had professor Gabriel Rockhill on as a guest. Real Marxism is not a dogma nor religion., It's a scientific study that requires trial and error in the real world.
