One of the core tenets of Infrared's theories is that most communists, in the West, miss the sense of objectivity that made Eastern marxists successful. The reason for this is that most communists undialectically assume, often unconsciously, that the contradiction that gives rise to socialism and communism is between the world and its injustices and the socialist/communist experiencing this, while a principled Marxist position would be that the contradiction is inner to the object itself. Instead of trying to understand the material reality of the people, which is the basis of every communist state, western communists are stuck in an abstract idealized form of it. | One of the core tenets of Infrared's theories is that most communists, in the West, miss the sense of objectivity that made Eastern marxists successful.
