Okay so banger insight I got from here:
material conditions reign supreme as the foundation of any meaningful program or political convo. This type of analysis cuts laserlike through vast clouds of fluffy, worthless, marketplace of ideas grift style vvvvibes-based "idealistic" baloney.
However.
Vibes, also, are a thing. Often enough vibes become material conditions. People fight, work, organize, sacrifice and die for Vibes. Non material elements can rally support around a material cause.
What are good ways to think about the relationship between material conditions and.. idealism, pure "politics", lofty rhetoric, untethered wishful thinking... vibes. I'm hoping some well-read comrade will bless us with thought or maybe a reading rec
I love you all 
Which is why the only good communist novel I've read was about a Chinese Cadre getting spiritually isekaid and accelerating the historical development of a society in republican Rome times towards the feudal centralization power necessary to allow the natural flourishing of a bourgeois class and setting the groundwork for a modern society to be born after his death, way sooner than it naturally occured in the historical timeline.
Ooh, that sounds really good.
I just wish there was more explicitly communist fiction in general out there. Even the terribly unrealistic stuff. It's hard to find.
"Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece" by Chen Rui
There's occasionally something communistic that comes out of China's literature and comic entertainment section. Usually I when I catch a whiff of it in something I'm reading, the author tends to be knowledgeable of Marxism-Leninism and historical materialism and it shows in how they present their story. Sometimes it's overt, sometimes it's subtle.
Did any of us read Eminent Domain, Carl Neville? As I said I r noob so not clear if it passes muster theory wise, but I enjoyed it and creatively done + thought provoking
Never heard of that book. Might give it a read when I have time
