Frog Act posted:i really, really wish I spoke Russian and German. my mentor / thesis adviser / personal hero was an old fashioned history professor with fluent German who felt anyone in the profession should be at least bilingual and he joked on me relentlessly for never learning another language I started learning german for the same reason using an app of some sort. Did it for six months. went to Frankfurt and was scared talking probably the best advice i got was to just live in germany for a year somehow and that will help I was inspired by Brecht and the fact that Sombart's early work has never been translated. Also because I was interested in the German historical school (Gustav Von Schmoller) quote:in all seriousness though, the Bolsheviks and later the Eastern Bloc in general, up until the 1970s, may have been broadly less artistically productive than western commercial studios but they created a ton of social value by making compelling stories that actively evangelize communist values. we desperately need something like that in the modern west, an accessible pop-cultural cinematic institution of some kind that produces effective left wing propaganda. i like to imagine a world where socially conscious productions like that enjoy the same cultural capital as unqualified reactionary fantasies like Game of Thrones One thing the Soviets did well is to promote a very healthy youth arts culture. A lot of children cartoons are very wholesome

I am abysmal at foreign languages, it just doesn’t work for me. when I go back to university I might take one last crack at it because knowing Spanish in America is pretty loving necessary for left wing activism.

Top City Homo posted:I started learning german for the same reason using an app of some sort. Did it for six months. went to Frankfurt and was scared talking that’s awesome, the professor I’ve been talking about also lived in Frankfurt to teach himself proper German in the 70s while doing his early research. thats an impossible aspiration but my new job has the option of free academic credits, up to 6 a semester, so I could conceivably learn German at a large public university and then even use those credits to very slowly pursue my academic work in the area afterward. one of the movies I linked earlier was written by Brecht, actually, and there’s at least one writer who has a lot of untranslated work that I’d really like to read and is thread-relevant, Kurt Tucholsky. he and writers like Alfred Doblin (Berlin Alexanderplatz) wrote incredibly biting satires of German life that I’ve heard lose a lot in translation. is there anyone you can recommend in translation along these lines? there’s also good philosophy that’s hard to find in English, like Korsch and Carl Schmitt my fantasy is a long monograph on a German paper that did left wing news and critical theory about pop culture in Weimar called “Die Weltbuhne”, it had people like Horkheimer and Adorno writing movie reviews, iirc. there’s so much stuff like that which hasn’t gotten a proper scholarly treatment, there’s only one book on Die Weltbuhne and it’s from the 70s what’s particularly interesting is the arc of the German Marxist relationship with the USSR, by the postwar period they were pretty distinctively anti-Stalinist before many American communists, but still defended the Soviet project for quite a long time. so the brief period where the Soviets where producing the films you mentioned and engaged in a significant cultural-political exchange with the German post-spartacist pessimistic left, before the war, is just so cool and underexamined

R. Guyovich posted:the hong kong federation of trade unions is the biggest labor organization in the city and supported the bill. wonder why jacobin didn't talk to them Because the questions were about why the protests were happening, so why would you ask the group that wasn't involved. Their answer to why they're not participating would just be "we're always automatically and unconditionally pro-Beijing, just like Homex"
