V. Illych L. posted:schmitt in particular is one of the most serious early critics of developed bourgeois democracy. he went completely mad personally, but a lot of his work in discussing liberality and democracy e.g. was and is very important and to a large extent useful for disentangling some important concepts in our contemporary society I can't read the article in question because it's behind a paywall*, but I believe you. Like I said, it doesn't seem like these ideas were being regurgitated but engaged with in a critical fashion, so the argument confuses me (I mean, not really, this is the Marxism thread on Something Awful dot Com.) * If I'm being honest I doubt I'd read it right now even if it were freely accessible. I've got minis to paint, pets to play with, and I'm still working on the Capital analysis that I need to finish in another week or so, so at best I'd likely bookmark it for reading at some unspecified future date. eta: Added a quote to make it clear who I was responding to.

Like I said, it doesn't seem like these ideas were being regurgitated but engaged with in a critical fashion, so the argument confuses me (I mean, not really, this is the Marxism thread on Something Awful dot Com.) the line of argument goes that since the conclusion can be naziism (demonstrated by the thinker himself becaming a nazi), you should not engage with the line of thinking at all. this is regardless of any particular truth value or merit outside of the thinker himself, because the empirical fact of the intellectual succumbing to naziism means that he is a) unintelligent and/or b) that the thoughts in question are objectively nazi propaganda, since they clearly led someone to become a nazi a) is on some occasions flatly untrue, but b) merits a more substantive evaluation - smart nazi propaganda isn't something to cite in an academic context unless one is specifically looking at propaganda etc., so you want to see if there is some actual value to be extracted with a critical eye. this can be and has been done with several authors and thinkers, prominently heidegger and only slightly less prominently schmitt

lol, you don't have to be smart to be persuasive. usually the opposite. mein kampf is dumb as hell, like, try reading a passage outloud and not bust up laughing. but it galvanized a whole nation smart usually requires some subtlety and appreciation of context

I’m sitting in a bumpy bus which makes it inconvenient to write much but here’s a excerpt on how Schmitt can be evaluated and contrasted in a Marxist analysis, from Comrade by Dean quote:“Carl Schmitt famously characterized liberalism as replacing politics with ethics and economics. Correlatively, we should note the displacement of politics specific to neoliberalism. There is individualized self-cultivation, self-management, self-reliance, self-absorption, and—at the same time—impersonal determining processes, circuits, and systems. We have responsible individuals, individuals who are responsibilized, treated as loci of autonomous choices and decisions, and we have individuals encountering situations that are utterly determining and outside their control. Instead of ethics and economics, neoliberalism’s displacement of politics manifests in the opposition between survivors and systems. The former struggle to persist in conditions of unlivability rather than to seize and transform these conditions. The latter are systems and “hyperobjects” determining us, often aesthetic objects or objects of a future aesthetics, things to view and diagram and predict and perhaps even mourn, but not to affect.” there’s more stuff in there but I hope this example is helpful to this discussion.
