    Bernstein was someone with an quite bourgeois mindset. He is mentioned enough in “What has do be done” and Renegade Kautsky. Give those books a chance and read them, they are not hard at all.

    is any of this true that stalin wasn’t up in theory and didn’t understood stuff?

    I would more like to encourage you to find it out. Even if someone will tell you, that it is true or not true, you are just relying on those words.

      I’ve been reading a little, i got recommended the mentioned texts here on lemmygrad, not gonna lie that trying to learn philosophy has been a frustrating endeavor, to the point that i don’t even know how to properly judge the quality of theory he produced, so i do rely on other people to help sort some thoughts.

      i do know his about his achievements as a leader and why west demonizes him so much, ik it is stupid to use liberals as a compass, anyway, i will keep trying to read more.

        Theory is judged in practice, if it doesn’t work it’s left behind, if it works it continues to be developed.

        “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.” - karl marx
