Greetings

I am a non-doctrinaire communist currently in an opportunistic relationship with a Revolutionary Communist Party. I became interested in the ideas of Communism through Babeuf, Weitling and Marx initially; I have since rejected elements of all their conceptions and doctrines. I find the endless attempts to make the Universe fit into dialectical materialism inane and ridiculous, which has led me to shun any kind of Marxist discussion groups.

Thanks.

I might think your dilemma is more of a case of how doctrinaire sects and cults abuse the method of materialist dialectics for their own ends.

I think the very idea is vague or problematic on its own grounds, but yes, their doctrinaire tendency mongering is ridiculous.

Thanks.

I agree. Socialism is the fair and right social system, but society is a completely different and separate subject, from metaphysics or religion. You can be a socialist, even a communist, without being an Atheist or a Materialist.

As I said at another forum, I'm a communist, but not an Atheist or a Materialist.
