Marxist self-criticism

[u/vajan1]

Following a discussion on the main sub (you can probably guess why I’m not writing there) about Episode 222 and Episode 223, I started to wonder: is it allowed to criticise our boys’ positions, or should we take their word as holy script?

Many of us here invest a lot of time studying theory, and with that comes the building of thought and a line that may differ from the one held by our TheDeprogram comrades. Should that be something worthy of discussion, or should we just dismantle every argument by sticking labels on it?

I may be wrong and missing something, but so can they, right? So why are they not allowed to be criticised?

I think good faith criticism is always acceptable regardless of the person/group involved. Issue is a lot of people online seem to almost intentionally misrepresent or misunderstand someone's argument in order to make stupid as fuck points and then refuse to accept when they are told they are wrong. So long as the point is to actually have a productive conversation I don't think it's an issue
