It looks like gegenstandpunkt/GSP has a positivist view of materialism, which is a materialism without being dialectical. I am concerned about this because if you, or anyone reading this, put gegenstandpunkt in the lemmygrad search engine to find posts/comments you will see an active user heavily influenced by this weird deviation.
It would be nice to have someone here who is German to clear things up cause I’m pretty sure GSP is a cult.

Yeah, me circa 2 years ago probably lol. (Edit: huh, there’s a second person)
Be in GS circles long enough and you’ll see how often there is no desire to change the world to improve one’s own life. I had it admitted to me by a few GS people. Their lives are good, so why risk anything? Criticism is enough, and if you criticise well enough… you get enlightenment, better ways of thinking, and society will change if enough people lose their enthusiasm for the state and capitalism.
I don’t know what to make of them. I don’t interact with their structures anymore though. And that’s definitely for the best. Unpleasant people… but maybe because they’re Germans.
If they’re against dialectical materialism then they are by definition not Marxists.
Here’s a criticism of the group, but it’s in german and my firefox translation sounds bad. https://kommunistischepartei.de/diskussion/standpunkt-gegen-den-marxismus/ (I found it in the reddit thread above.)
