I agree the world has changed a lot with modern tech. And we should be utilising that. It does provide opportunities and it must be theorised, starting with analysis like yours. I do have some criticisms, though.
i just can’t see in the current world a russian revolution like scenario when whole shifts at factories would meet up to read Marx.
This is one of our tasks. It must be built. Reading and discussing key texts regularly and in a careful order must be part of a revolutionary organisation.
I believe we will move towards a sort of “crowdsourced” theory where the main theoretical line is born organically out of continuos communication and discussion until we eventually get to a point where most contradictions and disagreements are solved.
I agree but this is the task of a revolutionary party working with the people to develop a mass line. I’m unsure if it can arise spontaneously.
One of the key benefits of people like Parenti or Woolf is that due to their careers, they have the time to think, write, and publicise their ideas. That’s hard for people with unrelated full time jobs. Although there is some good work by groups like Notes From Below (I’ll get a link).
with time the community shaped itself to a point where we substantially agree with each other on pretty much everything.
That might be more because the patsocs, Hoxhaist, and liberals we’re all expelled lol. (I’m joking, here. I agree with you though as I’ve changed my views on many topics since joining here. So the agreement isn’t because there’s no room for dissent.)
