i liked a lot of adam curtis stuff i saw in the past but you can't really unsee his liberalism. a tell is that he keeps saying "power" where a scientific person would say "capital"

BornAPoorBlkChild posted:a conservative?... yeah. his question: "do you really want change?" the answer, if you take all of his work at face value, is "NO!" i really think he paints change, in general, in a bad light. note that is totally anti-marx. there is no such thing as change and no-change. the world is always, always changing. and not because alan greenspan ate ayn rand's pussy and lied to bill clinton. there is no class analysis. like Ferrinus said, there is only this undefined thing called "powah." you can't call him a revolutionary pessimist, because apparently that's its own thing. but he's neither optimistic nor revolutionary.

And could just as easily make differently."

I thought he supported the collectivist mass action of the civil rights movement but believes that the individualist inwards-seeking of the hippies overtook it. Basically he covers many revolutions that got overtaken by selfish desires.

  i thought "well, they're on their voting bullshit again, lets go see who they're running" and as far as i can tell, its no one, not even on dem tickets. so just promoting the act of voting with no analysis and more importantly no goal. meanwhile the topic for my local chapter meeting tonight is enbys. just so tired man. i watched the vid for a few minutes until joe started talking about 1/6 again. this is the internationally recognized party of socialism in the united states.

though otoh even a few years ago their meetings were just a half-dozen bluehairs and greybeards gumming sandwiches and swapping stories about the old days of the anti-vietnam movement for the 1000th time so theres progress i guess but the timetable is not working for me
