What is a gravedigger who doesn’t dig graves?

[Dohaciel Ygzgzot @ygzgzot]

@bupwv @CreekHellfire This slides from necessity of production to necessity of outcome. Marx is clear that capitalism necessarily produces gravediggers (a structural relation), not that burial must occur. Producing an agent ≠ guaranteeing the agent’s success.

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@Logo_Daedalus Could you care to explain this relation? Between quantity and quality?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@drumm_colin @CrotserJeremiah Disregarding the value part, actually curious about labour and consumption. If that is a possible strategy, what are some of the others?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@bognamk How would you define "build into them"?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@DeepSohelia_ @glitchpoke It is important though how we name them, because “capitalism” carries with it conceptual baggage which you would want get rid of

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@DeepSohelia_ @glitchpoke I believe the argument is that the concept “capitalism” doesn’t particularly clarify anything about the contemporary world that is unique to itself. The argument is not that phenomena and structures we tend to name ‘capitalism’ don’t exist.

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@_CLancellotti You seem to be missing phenomenology from your reduction

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian Moreover, my original point was that perhaps Nietzsche and the Pope would disagree on this, the Pope would not welcome the perishing of the far right, or so I assume

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian The far right is absolutely resentful I agree, but I wouldn’t exclude certain strands of left politics too. On the latter point, does Nietzsche specify that ‘perish’ means submission to tyranny in his texts or is this your own position?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@gnomoderno @drumm_colin Yeah I get that, though what is the reference of real, if not Capital?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@TheRealVarnVlog What do you mean by ‘informal’ state?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@TheRealVarnVlog @mutualcreation Any references to support the counterargument?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@TheRealVarnVlog @mutualcreation Do you find Drumm’s account on the matter inaccurate?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@drumm_colin This is interesting do you have a recommendation for it?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@alerwee @die_rizzen Where is this from?

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@untimelysalts Oddly reading like a pro-colonial text

[Búpwv @bupwv]

@DevinGoure That is exactly his thing (ch. 1 of diss), then he attempts a positive account of money. Braudel was how I got into him in the first place, and the long duree is definitely one of Drumm’s theoretical grounds, though Braudel doesn’t feature much explicitly in the diss.
