    You should look up Daniel Everett; he studied the Piraha language and people of Brazil...and these people were offered free food, free training in farming, free education...and since the tribe has no leaders, they turned it down. also, the sentinelese Islanders. they constantly denied contact, technology, and outside influence.

    oh, and I agree that Marx was a materialist, just not a dialectical materialist a la Hegel.

    Well I hope this doesn't make me sound like a primativist, but I agree and somewhat disagree with what you said. on one hand, capitalism is better than feudalism, however, is capitalism better than the much older egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies? and that's just what makes me wonder.

    wow. Thomas Sankara led an ACTUAL Marxist revolution. what the hell have you done, armchair revolutionary?

    I do reject dialetical materialism; that was basically mostly Engels anyways, and Marx had a few critiques of the Hegelian philosophy. I don't know how you come to the conclusion that I reject historical materialism, I just don't believe in dialectical materialism, and my only ideas on what we call "progress" is that it stands to rape the earth of it's resources while increasing capitalist power in the world, while most foolishly believe that it means we're "moving forward" when we're moving backwards. we're heading for a dark age.

    but yes, I strongly disagree with Hegelian philosophy, but I don't disown historical materialism.

    again, though: why is it you dislike Thomas Sankara if he actually led a real armed insurrection against a capitalist government, led a real revolution, and established a real socialist People's Republic?

    yeah. you didn't exactly tell me how I'm anti-marxist. I think you're just a failtroll, no?

    explain what anti-marxist positions I have, except for my spiritual beliefs (which is subject to dispute as whether it's anti-marxist or not)

    I do claim to be a marxist.

    I'm not impressed with you myself. you take and make light of everything. you don't seem very Marxist yourself. and besides, I'm more influenced by Trotskyism than anything else.

    I just really like how you write things, it cracks me up for some reason.
