Manufacturing Consent

Marx wrote books about Communism (building on a lot of material from others but those don’t get any credit)

Marx wrote very little on communism itself, Engels did more of that. Marx's major contributions were in breaking from Feuerbach and flipping Hegel's dialectic from idealist to materialist, then applying dialectical materialism to history and the class struggle. This in turn led Marx to analyze capitalism first and foremost, its contradictions, and use this as the basis for what capitalism was necessarily working towards, ie centralization of markets into the necessity of collectivized and planned production and distribution.

Marx's prececessors, such as Adam Smith, Ricardo, Hegel, even the Physiocrats which were overall more wrong than Smith but got nearer to the truth of fixed vs circulating capital all get due credit. The reason these people are not studied as much as Marx is because Marx advanced upon them, and analyzing them is useful for better understanding the context of Marx's advancements.

Lenin wrote on ways to practically start a revolution to bring it about.

Partially correct, but this is missing that Lenin's greatest advancement was analyzing imperialism, and combatting the vulgarization of Marx by the second international that painted Marx more as a reformist than a revolutionary. Lenin didn't really talk about starting a revolution, but preparing and organizing for one, as you cannot simply force a revolution.

This is just proving comrade RedSturgeon and myself correct, though. Purity tests are nonsense, especially coming from those unfamiliar with Marxism-Leninism.

Anarchism rejects authority which is probably why so many Anarchists probably don’t like the Iranian government which is obviously very authoritarian. Though some online Anarchists (and other leftists) seem to think that without any prior organisation or mass education on Anarchism, Iranians can just remove an authoritation government and instead of a deadly power vacuum, people will all magically join communal volunteering organisations.

I generally agree with this criticism of what some western anarchists are doing right now. There isn't a mass organization in place in Iran that can both topple the government and replace it with a socialist one without Mossad and the CIA wrecking it, both of the latter 2 are far more organized in Iran from what I've seen.

This is why I critically support your posts and comments, if I may be cheeky. I know you can't see this, but some of your takes are good. It's your refusal to take analysis of the characteristics of imperialism seriously that leads you to working more with your gut instinct than any materialist analysis, leading you into false conclusions like claiming China is imperialist, and conflating weak anti-imperialism with imperialism proper. Same with your transphobic theories of "Transzionism" on Hexbear.
