Futurist Marxism

Futurist Marxism is the self-insert ideology of user .dotdotdotsam. It is economically left-wing, culturally revolutionary, ultramodernist, secular, civically neutral, and very progressive. When the conditions are right it supports technological development and automation of dehumanizing work, the creation of a thriving proletarian culture (similar to Proletkult), proletarian internationalism, freedom of religious and cultural expression (with some conditions), alter-globalization, cybernetic economic planning, women's emancipation, and democratic centralism.

Technological Development
Through all of the scientific, intellectual, and industrial progress that the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have afforded us, it is absolutely laughable that we, in the present day, remain with the antiquated system of capitalism. We are able to detect gravitational waves, create robotic body-parts, prove the existence of dark matter, and sequence the genome of cancer patients, yet we remain with the economic anarchy of market capitalism. This is not only outrageous and infuriating, it is also laughable. A core tenet of SOTF, possibly its defining character, is that technology and the resources that it is able to produce must be used for social progress as opposed to how it is currently used in modern capitalism - that is, to simply enrich the bourgeois class.

When the conditions are right, heavy investment must be placed into the sciences. This was one of the greatest and most notable successes of the USSR, as it became possibly the 20th century's greatest intellectual powerhouse in a rapid process. In line with major investments in literary programs to educate the population, academic success must be placed as the forefront of the nation's values so as to produce scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and other intellectuals that are capable of advancing the nation and being at the forefront of technological innovation. After all, the future is engineered only by individuals who are fully capable of understanding it.

Technological developments will be utilized to expand the forces of production, enhance economic planning, program more beneficial and efficient manners of coordinating government, and possibly for experiments in genetic modification of food and reduction of carbon emissions to switch over to sustainable energy, among other things. With technology, the possibilities are endless: we, as humans, can quite literally engineer our future.

Proletarian Culture (Proletkult)
Futurist Marxism believes that the spirit of the early USSR's Proletkult should be revived. A cultural revolution must be in conjunction with a political revolution to link base and superstructure, ideology and reality. Culture and ideology must be correspondent with material conditions; thus, a cultural revolution is necessary. It believes that, although a brilliant idea, Mao's Cultural Revolution got out of hand and was unnecessarily brutal. Instead of executing opportunists and hosting denunciation rallies, it believes in expelling opportunists and liars from the nation as well as creating artist federations and communes to create a new vibrant proletarian culture based on Futurism, Cubism, Rayonism, and other 20th century avant-garde art movements.

Religion and Cultural Expression
Futurist Marxism believes that one of the greatest faults of 20th century socialism was state-mandated atheism and religious purges. It believes that religion will always exist and that it cannot be forcibly removed from society, as much as one would like. Instead of destroying religious institutions, banning religious texts, and organizing atheist gangs to harm ordinary religious people, it believes in cooperation with religious institutions to promote socialist values for the religious as religions typically have many core values that are compatible with socialism (the golden rule, caring for the poor and less fortunate, love your neighbor, etc).

Awful

 * [[file:BERNHEism.png]] BERNHEism - How do you believe in this bullshit and think "oh yeah this is totally going to benefit humankind."
