Don't play into the enemy's psyops. Part of being a revolutionary is learning when to keep mouths shut. Wait for resistance confirmation and then speak. Until then stay silent and carry on as normal. (lemmygrad.ml)

if you know you know and if not I will tell you when there's confirmation. until then business as usual.

edit: Leader of Hamas Politburo Yahya Sinwar, resistant fighter all his life, was martyred on October 17 while fighting IOF on the frontlines in Rafah, Gaza, AK-47 in his hand. This has been confirmed by the PFLP on al-Mayadeen and so the moratorium is lifted.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but idgaf who is considered an "intellectual" or not. I engage with the material especially of communists who have not only put time into theory, but also put theory into practice, and anti-imperialist material that helps inform on history as well. George Jackson, Lenin, Mao, Parenti, for example.

So far, I'm not really clear on what any of this has to do with lemmygrad. It reads like something a person might say to the podcaster "left" who has no ideological grounding and may never have read a word of communist literature in their life. Though when you get to this part:

So, it is no trouble for you to deny the entire intellectual tradition.

You really lose me. Because then it sounds like you're saying there's some kind of school of intellectualism people should be valuing over theory and practice, which is strange to say in a place like this, to say the least.

By criticizing an entire community as not completely, thoroughly materialist or not completely read in "intellectual tradition", they've ironically gone completely around and become idealist.

It's actually a non-criticism, since of course we are supposed to (and strive to) beat the idealism out of us that we grow up with. It's already a given -everybody knows that.

So it looks like they are just using that and their "intellectual tradition" to pat themselves on the back.
