@maoisthnvx_25 But certain scriptures in said religion has revolutionary and egalitarian organizing principles (forget that they are anachronistically linked to today and are completely idealistic/moralistic)

Very awesome chapter, very lucid and a nice introduction from what separates abstract alienation from alienation in concrete historical conditions

@Sparkpoodle1 "Warsaw ghetto uprising just made every Jew's life worse. I'm sorry, you can say it was pushback against Nazism, but you can't say it was a smart move to attack prison guards of a country that is itching to turn you into a pile of rubble"

@left_plain The point isn’t that Young Hegelians are influencing people, it’s that people, owed in part to their existence in a world still ruled by the law of value and its necessary illusions, keep reproducing those illusions in the same way various young hegelians and true socialists did

This is vulgar materialism. The dialectic does not move in a straight, predetermined line; that is also the flaw of vulgar stagism. Islam is *more* fundamentalist now than it was in the 60s due to Salafi revivalism. Hindutva is a bigger issue now than it was during the partition!

Nearly 97 percent of transgender people who received hormone therapy as teenagers did not regret it five years later, a study found.

Though some patients did regret medically transitioning, those rates are relatively low compared to other medical interventions. https://t.co/YbUUIyWEBo

His final words in public. Stalin addresses the 19th Party Congress, 14 October 1952, the last speech of his life. The whole 12 minutes, subtitled in English.

Pol Pot was not a communist, he was an agent of western imperialism.

Khmer Rouge was catastrophic by design, not by incompetence.

“When I die, my only wish is that Cambodia remain Cambodia and belong to the West. It is over for communism, and I want to stress that.”

On this day in 1975, Angola gained independence from Portugal after a long, armed struggle for liberation.

@amithecommie under capitalism the worker is alienated from the means of his labor. Both effectively call for the abolition of the conditions that reproduce each phenomenon

[niko🔻 @n99ks]

@amithecommie "It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.”

The critique of religion is similar to the critique of capitalism, where in religion the worker is alienated to the products of his mind++

[after history 👤 @After__History]

Pol Pot had a French-Colonial education, studied in Paris on a scholarship and worked as a teacher. He wasn't an intellectual, but a moron couldn't have built a powerful revolutionary movement + consolidate power over the CPK. He also had an inner circle of Marxist intellectuals even if he personally did not have an appetite for dense Marxist theory

[Praxis @praxiss]

Agreed. Marx makes this point in Capital when discussing commodity fetishism. We can understand the human labour behind the value of commodities, but that will not stop value from appearing to be a natural property of the things themselves. This happens because the products of++
