  • Caudwell’s Crisis in Physics does some of this but for quantum mechanics. You’d love the read.

    Really its done science first approach then dialectics to examine the environment your project’s developed in for anything weird that will diminish understanding, then fix and repeat since there’s no such thing as perfection in reality. You don’t go in with dialectics first, that won’t do you good and just make you overly rigid without proper knowledge and limit your understanding of the situation at hand leading to silly errors. Gotta ground yourself in what is known of reality first.

    It is neat for thought experiments for project design too and is a way to break out of the ‘its x or y or a mere continuum’ to noticing 'gee this doesn’t fit my data nor my problem, necessity v sufficiency for instance develops from this line of approach (and others, there are many tools in the tool kit, dia is just one) and is beyond helpful in life sciences.




  • This, 100%.

    To add on, its also to restructure the economy to better suit whatever big bourgeois interests founded said fascist movement, if you break down the structures in place and set new legal-economic, military and political ones that suit yor investors in particular it much faster and easier than toying with those in place, a little shuffling and terror of bourgeois sentiment is no big deal, also you ensure loyalty as well to keep things going as well as your short-sighted money-vision can sense.

    I’m reading The Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism by Alfred Sohn-Rethel, would recommend so far.


  • Don’t think the free will v no free will dualism is the best way to look at the beast/phrase it, its something else entirely that uses these two aspects that seem like polar poles but are heavily overlapping, what some may easily call free will in some scenarios to being heavily shaded by conditions/environmental factors in others. I think of it as Marx’s “man makes history, not under conditions of his choosing” meets modern psychneurosci.

    Anyway, the real question here feels like ‘what is freedom’, which would be another good topic.




  • A lot of money and jackbootery is spent on keeping them that way as well, its learned helplessness by design and has been for over 100 yrs. All that oppression by force and money can’t last forever though, too resource draining and people are slowly but surely noticing the problems with the current way, they just generally don’t have a framework to put those ideas and well a lot of our terminology is ultra taboo right now. All we need to do is persist, ultimately, to keep hope alive, from there everything else is possible since time and people will be on our side once the wool lifts (or if we lift it, hehe), and against the current rigid way of being.












  • Not sure on the opp or not since some pretty famous Marxists the last century made similar errors before some of the big wars and had a century less of noise/propaganda to filter through. We do need an international anti-war movement, but it should be grassroots and notso funded by billionaires. The sentiment is 100pct there, lots of sympathy from bars to workplaces in even in the Imperial core, moreso in the periphery, real question is to make use of it, not overcomplicate things, but that’s more for influencers, orgs etc who can project and get out there to come up with everything, not me.

    I’d agree with you because RAWM is also funded by various big bourgeois factions (Peter Thiel comes to mind), just a bit more cloaked in anti-imperialism, imperialist anti-imperialism if you will, made to perfectly consolidate some power from the most reactionary parts of the petite bourgeois/bourgeois using some culture war stuff and what’s left of the mostly gone anti-nuke movement as a lure to confuse. Its a simple playing every side that can be found, though not so simple, though by airing their complaints this time the bourgeois again push themselves deeper into fascism.

    On diamat he must have done the standard western 3 stager that falls short of true analysis which goes through the ‘dark night of the absolute’, which I think was left off here if I were to wager, which is why on the surface it’d seem like its a critical support ala your usual anti-imperialist but imperfect theocracy or what not, but you look into it more, think of who in the imperial core benefits if this ran to its conclusion, if they’d truly be what they said, who is running this, how bourgeois movements tend to push the opposite of what they desire; Ex fighting for their illusory ill-defined freedom leads to the tightening grip of markets and development of fascism. RAWM is no threat to the core’s machinations for big war beyond our nightmares, and is a good trojan horse should they need to gain control of the movement for any purpose, ironically even pro-war.
