Because you keep repeating something which is not true. However, he did not think this was more likely than revolution in western Europe. This is directly contradicted by his letters and actions. He and Engels were directly corresponding with Russian revolutionaries, and literally surmised a Russian revolution could in fact be the first to set off a world revolution and was actively interested in aiding it. You're just refusing to take in new information. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GlacialTurtle@lemmy.ml -2 points 8 months ago (1 child) Marx did not merely say they had an opportunity in the abstract, he was directly involved with them and actively seeking to aid them. That is not the action of someone who merely once on the side referenced it as a vague possibility then effectively rejected it, which is what you now have to claim to deny the actual history and Marx's own words on the topic to maintain the idea that Marx effectively only thought a revolution would happen in the west.

This whole back and forth has been fascinating to read. Also, kind of disheartening. A billion offshoots of Christianity killing each other over how/whether they dunk their babies. Liberals/Lefties in the US pissing each other off and leaving a nice opening for the fascists. What is with us as a species that we almost seem to prefer arguing fine points with people who we largely agree with while the actual enemies of a common cause laugh and win. Like I said, fascinating read. Just... "more unites us than divides us" and all that? permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies)
