  • My read is that:

    • dialectical relates to the tension between opposites. Pick “anything”, there’s something else in conflict with it, causing it to be, or not to be. This contrasts with a frictionless immutable analysis, where there’s no interaction between the “anything” you’re analysing and it’s surrounding context.

    • historical means that this analysis is applied to historical aspects of society.

    • materialism means that any support on the analysis must be originate in material reality, with as much context as possible. In contrast with idealism, which is kind of moral judgement on what things look like, or should be.

    Am I too far off?









  • Ok, so you’re saying that having them wearing those Nazi badges is fine because the imperialist state department from the country that hired a non negligible number of Nazis after the Germans capitulated said the nazi patch wearing azov combatants are not doing anything wrong?

    And at the same time, using pepe the frog online is clearly alt-right?

    Just like you believe when the US state department say Israel is doing nothing against human rights in Palestine?

    You look very confused, in my opinion.












  • What if peoples relationships create a superstructure no single human can control, and we need active collective effort to supercede it?

    If a single human refuses from a moral standpoint, a humongous amount of money to do something crap as CEO controller of whichever crap company, boards will replace them, and some other human will, because material condition dictate it has to be done. No one is really in control. The boards are all just optimising for profit, because if they’re not, someone else will.

    How to break the capitalist cycle of control over peoples will?
