i'll only be RT'ng things that i find funny for some time

just doing a curious exercise on marxist aligned humour

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp can you name them

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@BrianJBerletic @ashwin_baindur India's external affairs ministry said they have found no proof of foreign funding. What do you say to that?

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp what about the fcra bill?

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp reducing tariffs on agro imports from the US is one thorn between the US and India, as it would piss off Punjab. is it worth a color revolution is the question.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@RodericDay there really is a redsails article for everything, isnt there

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@hocus2focus bhai ai se kar lo na please aur abhi hi batwa do jaldi se please

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@smoggynights @cwinstonp i like 'vassalguru', gonna use it

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@BrianJBerletic @ashwin_baindur i think you should provide the evidence first. make a detailed video in support of your argument and let us judge that.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

i will rethink my choice of certain words in a day. today this seems like it captures well what i am thinking. any thoughts? does this make sense as a way to end the impasse we find ourselves in with the post modernists' hold over political imagination?

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

Postmodernism takes from Hegel the fight for recognition and places it in the arena of a democratised Nietzschean will-to-power. 
That is how it manages to occupy the left while simultaneously serving capitalism.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

To break the gridlock, we must reconcile the many ongoing fights for recognition by sublating their resolution in the objective world arena of Marxist power-to-will. To prove to different groups the possibility of this is itself the first stage of this sublation.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp he starts his India post by stating he hasnt researched it, so i wasnt anyway enthused. but his other research is pretty coherent and has stood the test of time for me. i dont know about angelo.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp but not negligible and definitely tilts in favor of it being a color revolution. US vs China-Russia is the primary contradiction on this planet currently, so I dont even know how wrong he is in general. What specifically in his work did you find inadequate or incorrect?

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp i want the left to co-opt and lead it in fact.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp i think you're reading more into what im saying than necessary. im not the right wing that is using that 'color revolution' tag to dismiss or discourage protests.

but i wont declare a verdict on either side before i am confident. it has no bearing on the protests.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp as i said, i have not declared it true, nor said i have proof. i'm just laying out patterns i want to sit with.

merely because the cost of early dismissal is high, i want to see how this plays out.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp yeah. im not saying it is a color revolution, but being insta-first, youth-led, 'apolitical', founders' US connections or US based NGO connections - its just pattern recognition. its no decisive proof.

to me it is undecided and a bit early to tell.

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@BrianJBerletic i would love to share some interesting pattern recognitions and counter-patterns with you on what i've observed wrt the student protests to aid your analysis. DM me?

[behuda baat @behudabaattv]

@cwinstonp sonam calling off the fast tells me it is not a color revolution btw. but its not like the US doesnt have reasons. though i agree the BJP hands it most things on a plate.

@MarxistHeathen @sunflowersmoker @RodericDay https://t.co/tk5Dlnk9QI

see, this makes sense to me. your use of "" around compelling and theorists in the former category and not in the latter adds up with this. 'what you're doing' here contains 'what you're saying' to me as a reader.
rest you can clarify. or it gets tedious.

[Roderic Day @RodericDay]

@MarxistHeathen Your point in making that post is to attempt to establish that you belong to and speak for "people who take Marxist theory seriously", and that people who disagree with you are "vulgar Marxists".

My reply not only disagrees with those claims, but rather with your whole approach.
