I will never read theory, stop trying to make me read theory. Class consciousness is born from VIBES

How many people did Stalin and Mao kill?
Are you afraid theory is gonna make you a totalitarian dictator? Or are the books going to kill people with paper cuts? Words and ideas don’t kill. Individuals make that choice. A wise person would want to know the philosophy that made Stalin and Mao the people they were. Not dismiss it out of ignorance.
Millions. There are communists other than leninists however you know. Who don't have a record of killing people. Lenin’s Communism was a warped system turned on it's head. Had Marx been alive. He likely would have been one of Lenin's biggest critics.
Actual communists tend to be generally anti-state and anti-authoritarin.
