      Without class consciousness and materialist understanding of the world (which comes with Marxism) it is fairly easy to fall into the “just blow it all up” mentality when it comes to the issues of the global society. Cornforth wrote about it in his Dialectical materialism book. It is a natural reaction to the tendency of capitalism to use progress of science and technology for opression and murder - without understanding the class nature of this process, it is easy to start thinking science and technology are the problem

        Quite literally ‘what no class consciousness does to a mfer’.

        After a quick read of his manifesto, i can only conclude he was a far right incel that is mad that he couldn’t be openly homophobic and racist.

        He goes on a huge rant about leftism with the usual propaganda abt leftists being resentful, inferiority complex, or gay (like wtf LMAO), praises the greatness of western civilization, etc… Not a single mention of the relations of production. Just your usual far right bs but with fancy words like industrial society (LMAO explicitly avoiding using the word capitalist through the entire thing), kinda like Jordan Peterson.

        No wonder he has a bunch of documentaries on Netflix and is constantly mentioned by other incels.
