It’s kind of crazy cause when you’re reading Hegel and get into flow state with his prose it makes sense. You get put in a trance and then when you snap back to reality and look at a random segment of the writing, you’re just confused, but that’s the thing, it’s the whole thing.
proletarian = things i like
bourgeois = things i dont like
petite-bourgeois = things i really dont like
value = price
dialectical = my opinion
materialism = when people do stuff
commodity = luxury item
scientific = i worship it
@Gattungswesen25 Great April Fools! I‘m also reading it rn and it’s actually really well written and just … awesome!! :D
Besides the tweet, how do you like it? :)
Given how important Hegel is for learning to think dialectically and concretely in a Marxist lens, we should promote him as staple reading for communists. We haven’t bc his great works are daunting and obscure. But we could be reading and promoting the Encyclopedia Logic.
the french marxists would look at you and go okay to understand marx first you need to read freud and spinoza and lacan and nietzsche and hegel and heidegger and rousseau and machiavelli and etc etc etc and the thing is they were kinda right
1. The crisis of Marxism in the 60's was not brought about by some pesky french intellectuals (those meddling kids!) but by the actual crisis in actually existing communism. Communist states were deficient vis-à-vis their concept.
Dialectics is the self-movement of the subject. It isn't a "method" applied to an object because this treats dialectics as an instrument imposed on a passive object. Dialectics is the movement that the subject of investigation does: it transforms itself into its opposite.
@conatusbonatus @rando13075 The joke was just so aggrevatingly dumb, that the form of the comment as a joke isn‘t redeeming in the slightest, lmao.
Ironically, that resembles his retweets.
