'ruthless criticism of all that exists', how does it guard against self‑referentiality in critique, how does it critique the critique it has inherited, how does it critique the limits of critique itself?
@MourningScholar Critique, much like language, theory, and the material world, is a historical becoming. It is not a fixed position but an ongoing, self‑reflexive movement.
@NihilNothings Nor should we presuppose a communist society and employ it to dismiss the existing state of affairs; instead, we ought to ground our critique and practice in the present material conditions as we advance toward communism.
@NihilNothings The same perspective is equally applicable to the state and to capitalism. Their historical mission ought not to be negated on account of their inevitable extinction and historical limitations.
