> In 1977, a petition was addressed to the French parliament calling for the abrogation of several articles of the age of consent law and the decriminalization of all consensual relations between adults and minors below the age of fifteen (the age of consent in France). A number of French intellectuals – including such prominent names as Louis Aragon, Michel Foucault, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, Louis Althusser, Roland Barthes, Simone de Beauvoir, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Michel Leiris, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Philippe Sollers, Jacques Rancière, Jean-François Lyotard, Francis Ponge, Bernard Besret and various prominent doctors and psychologists – signed the petition.[1] In 1979 two open letters were published in French newspapers defending individuals arrested under charges of statutory rape, in the context of abolition of age of consent laws.

Is this “enlightenment”?

How old were yuo when you realized that any system of morals is just another religion, pretending to be """enlightened"""?

Retards don't understand that Marx was a reactionary who offered a political ideology for amassed proletariat of early industrialism as an answer to yet to be formulated Arrow's paradox. Capitalism evolved significantly since then and it wouldn't be possible to use his ideas today, the stagnation of the Soviet Union in the late 20th century is a proof of that. Marxism needs to evolve in the same way to be considered usable again.

How come Nietzsche in practice has become, through Foucault, a vessel for resentment? This is the opposite of his intentions. Was his philosophy doomed to self-sabotage from start?

The tiger is capitalism.

One day rightists will realize that post-modernism serves them better than it serves the left and they will regret all those decades they criticized it, even alligning themselves with secular universalists like Sokal for the sake of it, without having read it.

Reconciling Foucault's biopower and Schmitt's state of exception with a pro-euthanasia argument.

>the government, as sovereign, is entitled to take action against the state of exception where normal order is disrupted
>people who choose to live in a society subject their bodies to the state's control in exchange for protection
>an individual's worth in contemporary society is measured by his ability to contribute to the economy and consumer markets
>individuals in a terminal state aren't capable of proper consumption and work while sick, which constitutes a state of exception
>thus, it should be the state's prerogative to exert their biopower and euthanize such individuals to return things to the ordinary state (recoverable individuals being treated instead of the terminal patients, the invalid's family returning to work, etc.)

Is it a good argument, or would I sound like a lunatic?

Stop spreading this meme. Modern Identity-Politics has zero ground in Foucault, in fact it was already well established at the time of his writing and his work was in response to it
