Not a huge fan of Halloween because of my involuntary psychiatric disability phobia I had in relation to it! But not trying to ruin anyone’s fun! Enjoy yourselves yall! The archetypal in Jung is probably useful even if you discard the folk nazism jungians often flirt with ! Archetypes are cool

Marxists who oppose the centrality of political parties and say all power to the councils as Debord and so many others once did! Our positions in defiance of Lenin’s polemic against us and in allegiance to Herman Gorter’s reply is clear! Rule by political party alone is not sufficient!

I have had years of phobia of Halloween masks and going to a Halloween rave last weekend and not letting my discomfort with the costumes around me sour my experience too much was a small victory in my inner struggle against phobia! It is good to know I was victorious over a paralyzing issue

Fuck all centrists and fuck all of you podcasters

Oh! Of course! Universities do not monopolize science and both corporate and underground venues do science! However, state and university institutions still hold a legitimating and credentializing role that limits what free science can do ! Of course organic intellectualism is key to left wing wins

Yes the dems were complicit in cutting higher Ed subsidies since Clinton and before! Trump is the culmination of 40 years of neoliberalism only with greater intensity and a dash of paleo conservative rhetoric

Look people, the Trump cuts to science is the culmination of liberal science, not an aberration of the pattern. Like, I’m sorry—the future of science lies precisely in a different set of institutions, not a return to the thing that got us here!

Gramsci is a Stalinist anyway!!

I obvs can't do anything about it, but I'm tired of people using 'the left' to mean 'anyone who isn't far right', then making sweeping assertions about 'the left'.

It's even worse when said assertions involve bizarre outliers framed as widespread. Straw man bullshit.

If you read Marx’s Critique of the gotha programme, you would know that state ownership is not the same as socialism ! The capitalists still own the state as long as there is currency and property and as long as regimes of property continue, capitalism is not defeated!

States owning resources is the not the same as social ownership of resources ! States are not communal

They should change the name to "Lassallean".

The Texan Ideology | Fred Turner The Texan Ideology reflects a century-old fusion of the oil industry and millenarian Christianity.

Fred Turner on "The Texan Ideology"

We do need more intellectual diversity in US higher ed. To make that happen, institutions need to try harder to include communist, socialist, and anarchist perspectives, which have been othered in American culture forever. The rest of the spectrum is already pretty well represented.

thinking jacobin is left is how you tell on yourself lol

dude fuck jacobin. all my homies hate jacobin. describing them as "far left" is a joke and you should feel bad

I never paid for Spotify once in my life because for years they didn’t have the folk punk music which I so desired ! Mainstream music is bad for many many reasons, the least of which being that it is uniform and conformist and is crafted to prioritize relatability not to make complex high art at all

DC has been gentrified for at least 2 decades

I cannot take any political opinion calling socdems and third wayers “far left” seriously

I know the US Overton window makes people think third wayers are left leaning, but man it is painful to see people get called far left and I go to find out they’re also hated by the actual left

They won’t listen to me! But your sludge appeared on my discover feed! Zohran is a centrist no more to the left of Adam smith than LBJ was! You are also a centrist!

Socialism and communism are the same thing and mean the abolition of currency and property ! Capitalism with welfare is already what Adam Smith called for!

Try reading a book instead of being an opportunist and letting right wingers set the terms of debate for you

*welfare capitalism and it has been more prominent globally and historically than austerity capitalism

Idk it’s bad to me when our concepts of community become warped by whatever technology the capitalists are using to circulate value

Almost done with this journal article where I am trying to link the ascendancy of information networking in the mid to late twentieth century through to the early 21st century with social scientific theories that orient around networks as a way of understanding human community ! It is materialist
