Respect if you actually read all that stuff. I’ve read a little bit of Lenin and idk man, it starts to feel like magical thinking. Especially the stuff with the state withering away.

Does anybody have the picture of the shelf that's full of Marx books? It used to get posted in shelf threads as a meme a while ago.

I prefer the Star Wars fandom over the Marxist fandom myself. Their Universe has more internal consistency.

Only the Science matters

>>24470635
and by science you mean woo-woo written by this charlatan who used the term spirit with no clear scientific explanation or his reasoning.

>>24470646
Geist has several interconnected meanings in much the same way the Greek term Nous or Ethos would. While translated as Spirit, one can also translate it as Mind in the sense of both individual and universal. Universal Mind isn’t some otherworldly mind, but rather the rational order of reality intelligible to the individual mind that realizes itself within reality. Really, your remark is only parroting a popular misconception. I highly doubt you’ve taken the time to figure out for yourself if it’s woo woo or not.

>>24470653
LOL cut the crap nigger, I don't need to know German to see Hegel clearly picked the word SPIRIT and not the German equivalent word of mind in the concrete sense. you're just being a weasel, typical.

>>24470246
>polemics with some literal whos from 200 years ago
Exactly. Pure vintage greentext banterkino.

German Ideology if worth a read for the literary value of Marx's high-IQ flexing on everyone he didn't like. Schopenhauer dreams he could be 1/10th as good at dunking on people.

Jameson's based and I enjoy especially Marx's anecdotes in Capital, as well as his sense of humor

>>24470713
Well, what’s your problem with the word “spirit.” You know Hegel wasn’t writing a Phenomenology of Spooky Ghosts

>>24469708

He’s not an atheist, he just thinks God is the symbolic representation of religious consciousness, which is the cognition of the Truth by general consciousness. Its takes philosophy to grasp this truth in its conceptual character, the Absolute. He’s post-religious.

>>24469425 (OP)
I'm assuming this is a troll, and if it isn't, I won't judge your political opinions.

But looking at the age of those books (they look secondhand) and seeing that they're in Spanish, I really have to image that they were first read by beret wearing Uni students in the 60's, who probably passed them around clandestinely. They probably had reading and study groups that they didn't tell anyone about, and tried to set up underground newspapers. Maybe some of them tried to join a party, or even dreamed about their own revolution. Most probably went on to graduate and enter a liberal bourgeois profession, but maybe a radical few trained in a militia, or got arrested by a military dictator, only to get bailed out by their rich father, or, self exiled because they were marked as being subversive.

That time period must have felt almost magical with possibility in Latin America. Fidel and the Barbudos take over Cuba. The horrors of the Soviet Union and Maoist China aren't well known. It must have been so romantic to set up discussion groups in the back of bookstores, or in shady bars, stay out lake with your friends drinking wine or coffee, plotting the revolution.

Just reading about Che in Mexico before he met Fidel. The culture of cafes, intellectual discussion, literature and art, romance. I can't imagine a more interesting place or era to be a University Student.

do "marxists" actually give a shit about socialist policy?

I live in Canada and their is a "revolutionary communist" party that sells newspapers and organizes talks in my city.

I was walking down the street and they approached me. So I decided to shoot the shit with them, to try to pry into what they actually believe, because it did come across as a massive LARP.

Anyways, the group I talked to was all pretty well read. I bought their newspaper and read through it. It's obviously got lots of radical critique against Israel, Colonization, Corporations (all pretty valid IMO.) But what I found most striking is the entire section they had devoted to promoting self study. They had an article discussing the importance of reading as much as possible to be able to combat all types of arguments, and being able to convert people to revolutionary action no matter where you are. They critically analyzed books and movies, at a much deeper and intellectual level than any critique you'd find in a standard newspaper. They had suggested reading lists, etc. They also had a column critiquing intersectionality as a way to distract support from economic reforms.

Anyways, I was pretty surprised at the quality of the paper. The comrade shit is cringe tho.

>>24473707
doesn't help w/ my skepticism, but i appreciate the anecdote (actually).

>>24473659
It's boring now that being a communist isn't really that subversive. That's the rub.

>>24473707
There are a lot of normal commies, but the internet has given an outsized voice to idpol faggots who waste time talking about all sorts of gay retarded shit.

>>24474097
I also think any kind of "subversive" cultural movements, and most intellectual, political, and artist movements now meet online.

I imagine for most people, meeting in reading clubs, sharing books, talking over beer or cafe until the late hours of the night happens mostly online. Instead of marrying the marxist literature student (like Che did,) you just shift tabs and jerk off, then go back to shitposting on whatever forum piques your intellectual curiosity.

>>24474104
I wonder if it's only recently that it's shifted. I tried avoiding that stuff in University because I was a bit of a chud, but looking back now, despite how cringe the campus leftists were with their idpol stuff, they were right about basically everything else. I knew one girl tho, who just hasn't given it up, and was recently rewarded with a pretty lucrative position as a diversity chief, or something like that a big Canadian university.

>>24469542
most honest marxoid

>>24474237
True, but the idpol shit is absolutely insidious and poisonous. I prefer the anti-idpol somewhat syncretic branches of Marxism where you can still say "faggot" and nobody is trying to chudpolice you 24/7.

>>24473630
That is the only english edition copy I have ever seen. It's an interesting read, lot of information overlaps with The Outlaws by Ernst Von Salomon which is objectively the better book but i'm still glad I picked it up.

People who don't fight for their rights don't deserve them.
