Dark Ma Lie
Dark Ma Lie (dark Marxism-Leninism) is Haz's name for Infrared's mature self-understanding: post-ideological Marxism-Leninism, oriented by cosmos and moral substance rather than ideological formula.
马列 Ma Lie (pronounced maa lyeh) means Marx-Lenin in Chinese, as in 马列主义 Ma Lie Zhuyi "Marxism-Leninism". Mali is a mispronunciation/misspelling.
From the ICE UPRISING stream:
"Infrared's special articulation... is a lineage which I recently have articulated and like to call dark Ma Lie — dark Marxism. To explain what dark Marxism is: it is a post-ideological understanding of Marxism-Leninism... The problem of 20th century Marxism-Leninism, in both Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China, was that it was too ideological."
Connections in streams
Dark Ma Lie on inequality
"This is a dark Ma Li insight — dark Marxism, not the stupid shit you hear about. Marxism not only has nothing wrong with inequality, it affirms the necessity of inequality."[1] Marx went over this in Critique of the Gotha Program section 1, describing a communist society, where inequality results from one man supplying labor at a higher quality or duration than another.
Relation to Infrawoke
"Infrawoke is the same thing as Dark Mali" (INFRAWOKE stream). Both name the turn toward moral-civilizational content: "moral clarity, alignment with cosmos, a Confucian morality, a Shia morality, a Zoroastrian morality... a morality that has substance, not just an empty sense of superiority of the self."
