I guess I’m looking for myth that promotes communal ideas, relates to worker alienation, etc.? I think of the book of Acts in the bible, that’s somewhere between an example of how christians are supposed to live and a defense of paul before he’s executed, right? but incidentally the book has ideas that can be carried forward and developed into a marxist-friendly understanding of how to live, even if it’s loaded in stuff a well read marxist would find objectionable, there will be no perfect examples and i find it tiresome to get lost in pedantry about it so spare me!!!
I also wanna write some. Like “hades began to push and proliferate communism because he was horrified by the trauma of the humans coming through his gates and despised our cruel fates” feels like a decent basis for a mythic story idk
look i dont wanna get into the relationship of myth and religion to marxism, not really, i just like writing fake myth and i need an idea of what’s out there in order to make something worthy of the concept

Dialectical materials philosophy is a European philosophy based in other European philosophies
It’s the philosophical worldview of scientific socialism. Presumably it would have been developed even if the Paleocene stabilized and Paleolake Megachad civilization had an industrial revolution. But that’s impossible to prove.
Still need an industrial revolution
Well you need an industrial revolution for communism
That’s what I was saying

Can you link something written? I.hagent read everything Marx ever wrote and am genuinely interested but asking 45 of my minutes in a reply is a bit much. And yeah, you’re technically right but you’re also being really pedantic. A German dude was inspired by another German dude in broad strokes here.
Engels, in Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, discusses the work of Lewis Henry Morgan

Haven’t read that. Will tomorrow. It’s late
Well there are communist vibes but if you want to properly promote scientific socialism then your stories need to be grounded in dialectical materialism.
