fwiw i don't like seeing the r-word itself and it detracts from my enjoyment of threads but when it's safely abstracted into an edgeless short form like "r-word" it can contribute to a light comedic tone and shouldnt be punished but thats just imo

impression i got of gramsci is that prison notebook isn't bad but you're better off finding specific passages that are relevant to what you want than trying to read it all front to back

fine if you all think the dsa is salvageable I’ll go annoy local meetings

i don't think the dsa itself will do much useful but like with any organizing it's possible to make connections that are invaluable despite that

If you want a really basic paradigm to intellectually structure the modern world, it's nationalism versus internationalism and the distinction between three basic ideological umbrellas.

how does this square with i.e. Cuba, Vietnam, or Venezuela? it seems to be very difficult to maintain autonomy on the world stage without some form of nationalistic project

most rl people i know who've called themselves leftists are either old hippies who run small businesses and abuse their workers or just bog-standard liberal democrats

its a shame christians seem to mostly believe god is totally omnipotent and benevolent cause if you assume he's a flawed figure a lot of the stories in the bible can be really powerful. like you can read Jesus' life as the attempts of a god who is so far removed from humanity they're out of touch to understand humans that in turn leads to a more holistic and compassionate comprehension of temptation, suffering, doubt, and the fleeting nature of life. if he's always been perfect there's nothing for him to learn there.

only tangentially related but i think about it a lot.

iirc the concept of lumpenproletariat was an idea marx was working on but never really finished and it's kind of half-baked for that reason
