The only 2 consistent positions is not caring about Hamas' Islamism nor Azov's far-right ethnonationalism or just opposing both like leftcoms do. Anything else is hypocrisy and mental gymnastics
"🇺🇦🇵🇸" distance themselves from Hamas at every opportunity, but will do everything they can to keep you from bringing up the Nazi problem in the Ukrainian army

Read the comments and ppl overhype reading imo. You can read a shit ton and still be ignorant or closed-minded as hell. Most readers I’ve seen are, tbh. Reading becomes a way to reinforce your own dogmas instead of challenging them, broadening your horizons or staying curious.
What's something that instantly tells you someone reads books.

11/15/2035. As Marxist faculty wage the Heinrich Wars, DHS jails citizen-journalists who report on how 100+ temps drive casualty rates among the national guard Prez AOC sent to MN to quell riots over the breakdown of the Iran peace talks. The Science of Value remains untranslated

Good work young communist. You can accept Stalin wasn't a Marxist. You can accept Mao wasn't a Marxist. But... Can you accept the truth, or is it too much to bear? Can you accept the ultimate truth nuke that -- Vladimir Lenin -- was not a Marxist?

Holocaust denier “leftists” being a thing now is still hard for me to wrap my head around. This would be unthinkable 10 years ago. It’s like someone’s caricature of the horseshoe theory
I like some of his videos and don't want this channel to be ruined for me. It might already be ruined.

Love Adorno's "Opinion Delusion Society" so much... Idk if this makes sense, but there's this thing he does that feels very musical to me. Basically, he writes sentence after sentence, building up tension, and then there's suddenly a release. It's so sick...

To repurpose one of my favorite quotes: Chinese nationalists write almost as if China had colonized Tibet solely for the satisfaction of abolishing slavery
Replying to @navajofelon
Mao freed 1 million slaves and ppl still want to talk shit. Anyone who thinks Mao is bad is completely unserious.

fascinating thread on Adorno's music writing, cognition, and technological panic
Replying to @jackwdenton
i think most discourses, popular or academic, about how technology affects cognition rely on an impoverished concept of cognition itself. in the most reductive or narrow such, cognition is a faculty of "the brain;" in others, it has a social, symbolic character that is...

Sad, out-of-date Cold War rhetoric & myths. The complaint about billionaires these days - a "liberal" complaint - is that they speculate & hoard rather than invest. They are nothing but the high end of capitalist income/wealth hierarchies used to pit people against each other.
Replying to @hmcleaver
Socialist slavery won't eliminate work. Correct: redistribution is a political issue. Instead of merit or usefulness, the state makes economic decisions based on political whim. That is the problem. You fucking moron. 🙂

No, there is a divide that runs straight through Marxism on the question of what constitutes a proletarian dictatorship. To present the original conception and Mao as just a clean line with no differentiation is you not being able to deal with your own history properly.

He is still a dictator now even in death. People like you keep being interpellated by his image into cults. And since he's dead, he can't kick you out. You're just stuck in an ideological formation that can't act on the world.

“far left” and it’s just me saying we should abolish the state and seize the means of production and organize a classless society of freely associated producers
“Far left” and it’s just me saying a full time job should cover rent and groceries.

The irony of this claim is that Marx said the same thing, which is why he wrote a critique of political economy and economics.
Most people who study the economy for a living (economists) are not Marxists or socialists. That should tell us something.

'El fascismo es una fase histérica del capitalismo, y, por consiguiente, algo muy nuevo y muy viejo.... Entonces, ¿de qué sirve decir la verdad sobre el fascismo, que se condena, si no se dice nada contra el capitalismo que lo origina?' Bertolt Brecht.

I am not young. I started a Substack because there is literally no other website anyone uses for blogging. I do not charge people money. I am just trying to live a life with the tools available.
Oh you're an iconoclastic young Lacanian wedding psychoanalysis with Marxist social theory? Do you have a substack? Should we start an institute?
