The whole of Althusser's theory is made up of the following elements:

1. common sense banalities expressed with the help of unnecessarily complicated neologisms;
2. traditional Marxist concepts that are vague and ambiguous in Marx himself (or in Engels) and which remain, after Althusser's explanation, exactly as vague and ambiguous as they were before;
3. some striking historical inexactitudes.

Althusser couldn't think, he couldn't write. There's no discernible talent.

'Critically assess the concept of ‘interpellation’, and its role with Althusser’s account of ideology'

does anyone know any good sources for criticisms of the theory of interpellation, im about half way through an essay on it and other than zizek i literally cant find anyone who even mentions it.

also ive read a tonne of Baidou and concluded that he's an asshat with no idea what he's saying and nothing relevant to althusser, despite trying to seem so.

also a brief summary of Lacanian theory would be nice, people keep name dropping it and the Wikipedia page isn't very helpful

and also Spinoza

tl;dr: writing and essay plz halp
