Marxist Existentialism
Group Maintained by sunfarstar
We are a group dedicated to the tenets and philosophies of both Marxism and
Existentialism. We seek to show the reconciliation of both ideologies, and show
that they are not in conflict with each other. In fact, one may even need the other
as the human body needs oxygen. We also seek to dispel the myth that
Existentialism entails pointless angst and counterproductive pessimism.
Existentialism is less the idea that "life is pointless." It is more the idea that
"nothing has predetermined humanity's purpose, therefore it is our
RESPONSIBILITY to create our own meaning in life, and to do so responsibly and
soberly. In addition to our quest within ourselves to overcome Nausea and angst
that confronts all people in their self-determined life journey, we also are ware of
our society, the potential that it holds and the problems that faces it. We see that
capitalism and any system in which freedom of both society and the individual are
violated by the rule of a small, elite class as a great hindrance on humanity, even
if humanity's existence precedes its essence. We welcome all who are sincerely
interested in learning and enriching their minds and encourage positive and
productive discussion
