I'm trying to de-nazify myself, trying to shift into anarcho-egoism, I think I get the basic concepts of leftism and all, but one thing keeping me away from full-blown leftism is, if race doesn't really matter and all that is just the capitalist ploy to keep us divided, why are there no thinkers, I mean like Marx and Stirner and stuff, that would be black or asian? I mean there were people like Mao or Mugabe but they still borrow all the basic ideas from Marx, point is, why is it only white man that thinks this way, or, dare I say, why is it only white man that thinks? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm really trying here, but just… why does it seem like only muh yuropeons "think?"

Mao is known as perhaps the single greatest individual in communist history.
He is also a massive inovator of theory.
Franc feunon is an African inovator of Marxism. W.b du boiis is probably the greatest American Marxist writer
Outside of the realm of Marxism , the idea that non whites don’t have philosophy or ideas it barely bares repeating.
Your pretty retarded anon.

I mean you're way less likely to encounter thinkers of other races cause they probably aren't in English and if they are then it's more recent so they haven't influenced the culture as much. How many Chinese know who Spinoza or Hume are?

>>403017>why are there no thinkers, I mean like Marx and Stirner and stuff, that would be black or asian?Would you agree Africa and Asia were more on the recieving end of colonialism? And if so how many countries tried to make up for the damages and the divide they cause over 100 years ago? Almost none. Germany agreed to pay Namibia reparations THIS year and thats an exception. The circumstances in Africa stifle philosophy and need to be fixed first. Basic needs like peace and stability, a roof of your head and food have a much higher priority. Education and UBI next and then maybe one generation later there will be more thinkers.

do the names ibn sina, lord shang, han fei, frantz fanon, and siddartha gautama ring a few bells?
step out of the angloid sphere which isn't even more prolific in philosophy compared to some traditions of philosophy
and ironically, people from the third world who do philosophy are probably better versed in the philosophy of the global north than vice versa

>>403017>trying to shift into anarcho-egoismFunny how instead of trying to figure out what's true and works you just picked some random bullshit from ideology supermarket.
>they still borrow all the basic ideas from MarxBecause Marx's analysis is correct, going forward any correct idea would have to be built on Marx.

If I think about it, guess it really just boils down to me being eurocentric.
