Discussion on Marxism and Ideology

Meeting you made me, to some extent, plunge into this philosophy,

look at your views and recall that philosophy,

which I, the Marxist-Leninist one, studied.

Now that time has passed, it turns out

we haven't actually created anything better.

So, Marxism-Leninism is bad.

Maybe it is bad, but we haven't created anything better.

And that was a whole system of views. Today we don't have that.

And you were right, somewhere there,

when you spoke about state ideology,

ideology in general,

and that we don't have it, especially not in Russia. That is also true.

I was offered a sea of ideas.

I rejected them all because they don't resonate with a person's soul or heart.

What kind of idea is it

that cannot take hold of the masses, as the Classic said, and doesn't resonate?

Well, that's not an idea.

And it cannot be a state ideology.
