Every socialist system recognized the importance of changing/influencing the culture in order to reproduce the socialist economic base. With that said, how should suicide be approached by the far-left, in the context of socialist economics?
Suicide

Jonathan Ross
Okay.
Eli James
Cool, I guess that means we should have an official Marxist take on everything from what marriage arrangement is the ideal to what's the best Beatles album. Go eat a dick, you don't understand Marx and you're asking dumb questions.
Lucas Jenkins
I'm not asking for a uniform take. I'm asking how *should* Marxists understand the phenomenon of suicide, and how should this understanding be applied once the revolution has occurred and we are in control.
Luke Sanchez
When people have meme understandings of Marxism and Socialism this is the sort of stupid shit they concern themselves with. Same reason why we would have 10 daily "what will anime and videogame look like in communism? xDD" threads back in the day

How will you punish Suicide unless it is a failed suicide attempt? These people need treatment and even so it is their right to do what they want with their life. Plus Marxists aren't a cult so why would a political and economic position have a specific policy on this apolitical issue?
Luke Collins
You're a dummy and your mom sucks dick
Nolan Wilson
suicide after the revolution? lol nobody will be killing themselves after the revolution
Jason Hernandez
So what about cultural attitudes about it? Should socialists maintain the stigmatization of suicide?

Ilyenkov's story is actually pretty heartbreaking, a brilliant communist whose Hegelianism literally drove him to an hero.
