MeatwadIsGod posted:The GOAT is that footnote in the chapter on the Law of Capitalist Accumulation where Marx goes off on Malthus and the other Protestant parson bourgeois economists. It's one of the times in Capital when his footnote runs on for like 3 pages uninterrupted lol I hope there's a book on tape that includes this somehow without breaking context or a sweat

what would be a feasible way to establish a media and a visible, stable culture that espouses proletarian values? like, what would a rock band unironically singing upbeat songs about wealth and wage equity even look like? is it possible to make free food projects and political study/discussion groups things that aren't relegated to small groups of nerds, but are main stream activities?

I'm sorry I didn't append a 2 page long barthes quote but media is what compels people to accept and endorse beliefs and activities counter to their better interests. there's no john lennon telling smelly hippies to imagine a better world, there's no smelly hippies. is there a tik tok equivalent? is it a big enough bloc to establish and maintain political power? I dunno and I suspect I'm too old to understand it if there is

“During the Vietnam War, every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”

Have a successful socialist revolution quote:like, what would a rock band unironically singing upbeat songs about wealth and wage equity even look like? Oh, you mean before? Idk ask Brecht. Typically cultural activities seem to come after mass organizing for political or economic reasons.

bagual posted:john lennon was a liberal who beat his wife and loving sucked, the hippies were middle class larpers that went back to normal life the instant poo poo got serious, hope to have helped that actually doesn't help at all. it's ad hominem. doesn't matter if he was a forum moderator, he recorded imagine and millions of people listened to it and liked it and millions of people continue to listen to it and like it. by way of scattershot, some of them are bound to pay attention to the lyrics and some are bound to say "you know, he's right, I hadn't thought about that before" just by shear numbers alone. there isn't even that low bar being matched today and I'm not sure it's possible between media monopolization and algorithmic control of poo poo like youtube. I bring up this example and could say, like, bob dylan, not to laud them but to point out that it doesn't look like we're even allowed that anymore at any scale. hippies had a bunch of sex and did a bunch of drugs, they got part of the schema totally right

It was a safety valve for public distrust of the war in Vietnam and segregation, and as soon as the war ended the white people bailed.

The hippies were pretty reactionary if you dig underneath the surface level liberal appeal of "free love," which was more often than not an excuse to trick women into accepting your philandering. When hippies tried forming communes to realize their utopic visions they almost all turned out to be absolute disasters where an insular clique ruled over everybody else with an iron fist. Liberationist rhetoric isn't a substitute for political discipline, and if there isn't a structure to check reactionary tendencies & petty tyrannies then the most charismatic people will take advantage of everyone.
