Reality is a process forever stream through time and space, patterns emerge, systems form, change, collapse. New processes, new systems, solar systems spiral, evolutionary processes flow. Society as a system, civilization as a process. More processes, more systems, processes within systems, systems within processes. Beyond beginning and end, universe and speck…
IT’S TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN!!!
That’s exactly what a cybernetic organism would say…
It’s just saying that real objectivity is impossible because everything is filtered through a subjective lens.

11·14 days agoThese media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

11·16 days agoHistorical materialism is unfalsifiable, it’s in the same category as praxeology. Junk science.
Marx version of conflict theory is similar to the claim that the sun revolves around the earth, inadequate.

1·16 days agoThe old theories are obsolete, the modes of production replaced by modes of representation. No matter how much you pray and recite your holy scripture, paradise never comes. Marxist theory is as relevant as phrenology.

1·16 days agoAny form of socialism is not feasible without human consciousness evolving into some kind of singularity. You’ve already contradicted yourself and betrayed the principles of Marxism by claiming the proletariat would dominate the bourgeois. If socialism is about the worker owning the means of production, there is no bourgeois class, except for the worker. In the real world, all you get is some type of authoritarian state capitalism.

Ahh yes, the proletariat rules over the bourgeois, but the proletariat are not smart enough to rule, so some enlightened elite must rule for them, let me guess, you? The closet aristocrat?

11·16 days agoVulgar Marxism, and history has already shown the masses are an inertial force. The ideal circumstances for socialism was last century, only dominance hierarchies formed.
Ideological delusions to think otherwise.

1·16 days agoI spelled out that it will collapse, what replaces it is eventually another dominance hierarchy if we escape extinction.
Sorry bucko, no socialist utopia in any future.

You are so propagandized you have no idea what I said, the type of system does not matter in so far as it is a dominance hierarchy.

Capitalist Realism, M. Fisher.
You didn’t read the book and yet claim you know the contents. Lol.

11·16 days agoYou should probably explain what you mean, because I already stated that ideological fantasy does not determine objective reality.
That is the exact opposite of “idealism” you dolt.
It was explicitly outlined in Marx’s writing. The dictatorship of the proletariat. As Žižek wrote in The Sublime Object of Ideology, “ideological fantasy creates social reality.” However, that social reality does not determine objective reality, merely how we interact with it. The Marxist position of achieving class consciousness is a falsehood, it is a presupposition that ignores human nature. There is no deeper philosophical meaning, the surface is the truth, the masses are an inertial force, an object not a subject. In a deterministic universe, all we have to do is look at past results to predict future outcomes.
A quote from my copy of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, “What is universally valid is also universally effective; what ought to be, in fact also is, and what ought to be without [actually] being, has no truth.”

Talk about reductivist slop, it’s not wonder socialists make ideal converts to fascism.

12·16 days agoThroughout human history, the general pattern is dominance hierarchies form, wealth accumulates and eventually the system collapses. Previous collapses, people were able to disperse and live somewhat egalitarian lifestyles temporarily but the interdependence created by global neoliberal capitalism means there is nothing to fall back on. Self-termination (extinction) is the most likely path.
That’s what you call ideal? What is wrong with you?
