"the body is a temple!"

this body is not a place of honor. no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. nothing is valued here. what is here is dangerous and repulsive.

@anarchopunk_girl @mira ok ngl I’m not about to toss out Marxism entirely. But MLs as a social phenomenon, in my experience, refuse to do any serious self-critique about their own implicit values as a “subculture.” MLs rarely view themselves as having a “culture” to begin with because they presume that their framework is “scientific” and thus is too objective to have assumptions of its own (much like STEMlords who diss philosophy of science, tbh). So they don’t pay attention, for instance, to the intellectualism wielded for social capital. Frankly, reading Capital is hard, and for MLs, those who are able to understand it (or who think they understand it) have authority over those who aren’t as “well-read.” It doesn’t actually matter if “AES” is anything but - someone more learned than you in scripture has interpreted it that way, so you shouldn’t question it.

Critique of ML culture doesn’t mean Marxism’s content is definitely and entirely wrong. But MLs see self-critique as a threat, because they are so stuck in their intellectualism. It’s baked into how they came up with Marxism in the first place: through academic literature. Occasionally they will acknowledge, with a shallow “humility,” that the “less educated” classes also have decent insights now and then, but their hierarchical thinking is still central to how their uncritical acceptance of “AES” is formed.
