    I don’t think that’s accurate, though. How do you explain dialectical materialism, historical materialism, imperialism, why capitalism is fundamentally unsustainable, revolutionary strategy, and more in under an hour?

      You can definitely explain most of those in a way a 5 year old could understand in under 20 minutes.

      Not dialectical materialism though. I’ve read about it and had it explained to me more time than I can count, and my brain refuses to hold on to what it means.

        I wrote a basic guide on dialectical materialism. It’s missing a ton, but should be enough to hopefully make it make sense to start off with.

          Thanks. I’ll try it, but I have zero faith it’ll stick this time 😅

            Haha, no worries! Really, it’s about materialism in outlook, dialectics in method. The rest follows from there!

              I read it. I’ve been reading a lot of complex systems science lately, and it seems to have a lot of overlap, so perhaps it will stick a bit harder this time. Thanks :)

        I’ve read about it and had it explained to me more time than I can count, and my brain refuses to hold on to what it means.

        I had the same problem up in until I had Stalin explain it to me:

        https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1938/09.htm

        (It’s short, to the point and when one “hence” paragraph after the other comes, you will start to understand)

        Alternativly if you’re not the reading type:

      However else you explain any other concept, these are very simple ideas.

        How so? How can you simplify them to take less than an hour?

          Explaining it to them without the fluff?

            Elaborate, how do you explain all of them in under an hour, even without fluff?

              What are you asking for? Like my method of teaching?

                I’m asking how you can fit the sheer quantity of raw information, effectively, into an hour. I’m entirely unconvinced that you could do so.

                    Pick any of the core parts then, and try to accurately break it down into a small enough chunk. Explain dialectical materialism (not even historical materialism) in 5 minutes.

                Guys this is very likely a fed account. Do not listen to this crap. You need to understand what you’re doing before you do it. No successful revolution was built on vibes.
