    Relying on “the will of the people” is idealism and ignores material reality.

      That’s a nonsensical thing to say. Everything that’s ever been done by anyone has been done because the person(s) doing so had the will to do it. From making lunch to toppling a government.

      If your world view is some kind of circular human centipede of tautological alternate definitions that doesn’t allow for any discussions that don’t accept your conclusions a priori then talking to you isn’t likely to be any more fruitful than a discussion with a Qultist or a MAGAt.

        The will did not come before the Material Conditions.

        Again, reading Leftist Theory would help you quite a lot. We are on Lefty Memes, after all.

          Again, you’re putting words in my mouth to argue against an imaginary person because that’s all you can do. Save that shit for the shower.

          I never said there weren’t conditions that create the will. There are always conditions for everything. My condition is hungry so when I’m done typing this I’ll eat a banana because I have the will to do so.

          I’ve read plenty of leftist theory. But unfortunately your reading has only prepared you to hammer anything you run across into the circles you seem to be unable to think outside of.

          If any discussion with you requires one to accept your reading of theory that labels as impossible something that has already been accomplished, many times, that’s not theory, that’s dogma that ignores reality, and you’re in a cult.

          Banana calls, you can have the last word. Imagine me dumbfounded and humbled by your brilliance, just like in the shower.
