Rosa Lichtenstein is one of my least favourite users
And when Marx says, 'Hitherto the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways', what that 'hitherto' means is not a renunciation of theory and that all we need to do is wade in with our fists and there will be no more need for thought. This idea is in fact fascist, and it would be grossly unjust to Marx to impute such views on him.

I wish I could thank you for this.
That's not the way to talk about the self-proclaimed Karl Marx of the 21st century.
if she was the Karl Marx of the 21st century that would be seriously depressingThat's not the way to talk about the self-proclaimed Karl Marx of the 21st century.
too bad she isn't, people actually READ his essays

I think that she makes too big a deal out of dialectics, personally.
Dialectical materialism is not a philosophy that I subscribe to, but writing long, detailed refutations of it is definitely not a pressing concern, either.
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
I really can't be bothered given any sort of long statements on the people that I appreciate or recognise as being very intelligent. Here some are (in no particular order): Yehuda, Apikoros, Random Precision, Bob (both, Kindles also ties for the biggest wanker award though), Luis, ComradeOm, ZeroNowhere, Robbo, KC, Loveschach, bcbm, Explosive Situation, Homorevolutionary, Patchd, The Doctor, Bilan, Leo, Devrim, Marmot, other assorted Left Communists and all the other great posters who I can't call to mind right now.
On a serious note, I can't think of any single Stalinist that I particularly like. It's not necessarily political either. I disagree with the Trotskyists but like alot of them.

No, they don't. Especially not when they're Marxists.
Anyhow, as for my list, Mike Lepore is probably the most consistent poster on the board, with almost all of his posts being pretty awesome. Other than that, Devrim is Devrim and mayhap the only person to post in Chit Chat with a sense of humour that is not based on the lack of it. K(KK)indle$ is good when it comes to putting forth a case which is backed up and explained quite well, though I may not always agree. Robbo is generally a fun poster to read, given his tendency to get into debates against inane people which then turns into a round of mutual insults alongside the debate. Dave B doesn't seem to post that often, but generally does post well, though it does seem a bit monotonous at times. Still, he does have a tendency of posting interesting quotes and information, so yeah. GeneCosta/Schrodinger's Cat was a great poster, and Vanguard1917 generally makes good points and gets into pretty entertaining debates. Other than that, I do recall seeing quite a few good posts from Demogorgon, albeit on a board which I do not frequent, and also Niccolo Rossi, bcbm and Leo.

i don't see bourgeois news sources harping on about how Rosa Lichtenstein's anti-dialectics predicted the economic collapse over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and...

I've read bourgeois sources on Marx. I've also read 'Marxist' sources on Marx. They tend to back up my point.
I like loads of ppl
I like the Trotskyist Left Opposition (more commonly known as annoying wankers). They are:
Bob K
Led Zep
KC
RP
and to a lesser degree because he is less partizan and more rule following Sam B haha.
Out of the oldies I like Btb (not sure he likes me anymore ..) Luis and Devrim. All of these people I wanna meet and have a pint with
I likes the people I've met: special shout out to Patchd, Edelweiss Pirate, Forwards Union and Kevis if I have forgotten anybody I love you too (unless your TAT)
I like K.Bullstreet and Pogue who I have talked to far too much and hope to never have to again
From times gone by there is Bellyscratch who I know in real life and who is a personal mate (who I met thru rev thus proving its awsomeness) and there is a special place in my heart for Des/Module even tho she is an evil cappie traitor
oh and I love all the dutch comrades except Psycho, Wanted Man, Decon R, Tjis, Ravachol, Jaffe, and the rest of the dutch users on this forum and in the world
