Hmm i wonder why movements to engage more of the populace in wage labor usually win and ones to reduce the wage labor population usually fail. Anyway,

I got real mad when chomsky tried to used spacetime or quantum mechanics to refute materialism, that conclusively proved to me that chomsky was an idiot. Just becaise something isn't a particle moving in euclidean space, doesn't mean you can't still classify it as matter, it only means that its dynamics operate under different rules than we, as humans who operate at the macro level, are used.

I was confused by his speech about things we understand taking on a state of physicality, because doesn't that only further validate a materialist perspective? It means achieving a more comprehensive understanding of the material world, not necessarily that ideas themselves have a physicality. Like, you can understand or at least think you understand all of the most esoteric texts you can imagine, but it has no real utility in the material world. There's nothing that a sense of idealistic self-righteousness can achieve that couldn't be realized by pharmaceuticals. Plus what do you do if people disagree with your ideology and prevent it from being realized? Kill them? That won't make the ideology jive any better with the baseline physical reality. *"ideology" i mean here, in the derogatory way Marx referred to it - not in the modern sense of a political belief system.

A Spherical Sponge posted:Hmm well it's been a while since I read the book that laid out the argument, but from what I remember, and some google searching, the argument is basically that life entails a kind of proto-consciousness facilitated by a functional distinction between the living system and its environment, and the active maintenance of the existence of the living system (ie metabolism, homeostasis, all that sort of stuff), which imbues things in the world with meaning relative to the living system because the living system has a sort of teleological basis to its interactions with the world, based on the drive of all living things to continue to exist and reproduce.

The point is that arguing for socialism and arguing for equality under capitalism (equal opportunities but not equal outcomes) are two distinct things and we shouldn't confuse one for the other. Concessions given by protest is inevitably on the whim of the people in power, and there is an absolute limit to what it can achieve.

Yeah I mean most people in socialist orgs already understand this, its not really practical advice. PSL and SAlt both participate in fight for 15 for a reason, it's about building a base through organizing over issues.

What's the general consensus on World Socialist Web Site (WSWS)? They just posted a piece making GBS threads on Noam Chomsky and "pseudo Marxist" David Harvey for comments they made regarding Afrin and I thought it was sorta trash and wondered if anyone had a more informed opinion.

it will never cease to blow my mind that the man who's parents fled europe to avoid the holocaust among other things then publishes a piece that shits on antifa for daring to exist before the literal gas chambers are constructed and in use and then people still treat him as a serious academic

I donated 60 bucks to them last year since they were doing some community outreach thing in Chicago. Since then I receive random phone calls from someone about going out to lunch since they're "travelling through town". I have never answered their phone calls. I'm probably on a list somewhere.

Holier than thou dipshits masturbating themselves raw to the thought of a 100% ideologically pure world revolution they lead and that only they are smart enough and correct enough to take part in. e: also their positions on China and Russia appear to be that neither country can do any wrong. sub supau fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Feb 8, 2018 |

While I don't disagree with WSWS being not-good, I also don't think we should take it for granted that Noam Chomsky can also have bad opinions.
