I’ve read the Communist Manifesto and found myself agreeing with the ideas presented. However, I’m left wondering: what’s the real point of studying Marxism-Leninism more deeply? It feels like the principles are clear, and it’s unlikely that a deeper understanding of them will lead to significant change.

It seems to me that content creators, like those from podcasts like Deprogram, have a more direct influence on people’s perspectives today. So, I’m curious, why should we invest time in studying these ideologies when there are more immediate ways to engage with and affect the world? What benefits can understanding Marxism-Leninism actually provide in today’s context?

    When spreading the word /discussing things it’s better to be able to articulate ideas oneself instead of telling people to listen to a podcast.

    Sure, you can take them as a sort of audio books, I guess, but when I try to articulate knowledge that I know cuz I first absorbed it from podcasts I suck at it
