Just for fun and outta of sheer boredom. Do you have any literature that you’ll recommend about what those idealist are talking about because how did they come to that conclusion lol?
Elementary principles of philosophy by Georges Politzer is very good at explaining both Idealist and Materialist philosophies as well as metaphysics and dialectics. It’s based on a lecture about the philosophical bases of Marxism and I think every Marxist should read it. I’m currently reading it myself.
Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll read it tomorrow. It seems very complex for me, it is okay that I ask you some questions about it once I’m done reading?
Can absolutely second Elementary Principles of Philosophy, it’s the first work that really made dialectical materialism “click” for me! Even put it in my intro ML reading list for it. I linked an .epub in case you’d rather use an eReader, from a site maintained by a comrade.

Sure. I’m not nearly done reading it though.
Marx absolutely eviscerates Max Stirner (a German idealist) in the third part of The German Ideology.
My favorite obscure communist theory is that Engels created Max Stirner as a pseudonym for Marx to get mad at, lol
Stirner was just a tulpa the entire time.
