A lot of people would disagree with you. Like marxism is totally cool and what not. It has become not just 100% acceptable, even for liberals who only view them as somewhat misguided dudes and what not. It has in fact become a "norm" in various circles and here too to quote marxist snippets and pretend it has some degree of normative authority to quote Lenin or so.


I'm man enough to admit that Marx knew what the problems were, but I'm also smart enough to his proposed solutions were stupid and unrealistic.

So I don't much care what Marxists or pseudo-Marxists think in the end.

I'm not ignoring them at all. I'm pointing out your inconsistent claim that you're somehow a "Marxist-Leninist" as you simp for two men who were completely antithetical to Marxism-Leninism.

The USSR was argueably sucessfull to varying degrees.

Altough the marxist ideologies was more a hinderance rather than the cause of their sucess.

You can't be a "conservative socialist" because that's a complete oxymoron.

Conservatism is about maintaining the status quo. It's opposed to change by default. Socialism is the exact opposite; it's progressive and revolutionary, it seeks to implement radical change to society. You can't have it both ways.

Sure. But arguments and takes derivated from marxist thought is getting increasingly popular in mainstream media op eds and what not. It's one of those big trends those days. You will get more of it likely. So its important to understand, even if you disagree.

You should check out Juche. You will like it.

It is superior to marxism-leninism and more in accordance with your ideas.

Unlike Marxism–Leninism, which considers improvements in the material conditions of production and exchange as the driving force of historical progress (known as historical materialism), Juche considers human beings in general the driving force in history.[44] It is summarized as "the popular masses are placed in the center of everything, and the leader is the center of the masses".[44] Juche, North Korea maintains, is a "man-centered ideology" in which "man is the master of everything and decides everything".[44] In contrast to Marxist–Leninist thought in which people's decisions are inextricably linked to their relations to the means of production (a concept referred to as "relations of production"), in Juche thought man is independent and decides everything.[44] Just like Marxist–Leninist thought, Juche believes history is law-governed, but that it is only man who drives progress, stating that "the popular masses are the drivers of history".[45] However, for the masses to be successful, they need a "Great Leader".[45] Marxism–Leninism argues that the popular masses will lead (on the basis of their relation to production), but in North Korea the role of a Great Leader should be essential for leadership.[46]
