The concept of matter shaping ideas that then reshape matter into reshaping ideas in endless spirals is Dialectical Materialism, actually. I’m not denying that ideas are important, but they are not primary.
For what it’s worth, I do have an “agenda,” I’m a Communist. I want Communism, and I want to create more Communists, that’s why I made that reading list. Communism isn’t an intellectual fascination, but an ideology surrounding working class liberation.
If you want to dip your toes, Principles of Communism is a great start, maybe try reading section 1 of my reading list and watching the Parenti Lecture as well if you want to see Communism in context.
