>Choked his wife to death
Okay I am intrigued. Where do I start with Althusser?

Ted Kaczynski was hardly even a writer

Obvious example

Reminder you can't understand Hegel without first understanding Marx

>read Marx
>bullshit writings that doesn't make any sense since economics debunked it.
>read Althusser
>realize Marx is the greatest scientist ever
How did he do it?

>The publication of Althusser's posthumous memoir cast some doubt on his own scholarly practices. For example, although he owned thousands of books, Althusser revealed that he knew very little about Kant, Spinoza, and Hegel. While he was familiar with Marx's early works, he had not read Capital when he wrote his own most important Marxist texts. Additionally, Althusser had "contrived to impress his first teacher, the Catholic theologian Jean Guitton, with a paper whose guiding principles he had simply filched from Guitton's own corrections of a fellow student's essay," and "he concocted fake quotations in the thesis he wrote for another major contemporary philosopher, Gaston Bachelard."
So I'm basically just going to waste my time if I read him right?

> shut-in, despises society and the people around him
> doesn't have sex until well into his thirties
> literally strangles his wife "because she asked him to"
> subjectivity is imposed and controlled by "ISAs" (basically an illuminati conspiracy theory), we are all 'sheep' and only some of us are 'woke'

This guy is proof that leftists are capable of expanding the concept of 'incel' insofar that it applies to literally everyone. Is the Zizekian position really the only hope left for 'the (new) left'?

>Before me: Hélène lying on her back, also wearing a dressing gown. ... Kneeling beside her, leaning over her body, I am engaged in massaging her neck. ... I press my two thumbs into the hollow of flesh that borders the top of the sternum, and, applying force, I slowly reach, one thumb toward the right, one thumb toward the left at an angle, the firmer area below the ears. ... Hélène's face is immobile and serene, her open eyes are fixed on the ceiling. And suddenly I am struck with terror: her eyes are interminably fixed, and above all here is the tip of her tongue lying, unusually and peacefully, between her teeth and her lips. I had certainly seen corpses before, but I had never seen the face of a strangled woman in my life. And yet I know that this is a strangled woman. What is happening? I stand up and scream: I've strangled Hélène!

>Shaped public opinion of Marx significantly
>Didn't read Marx

>the rest are pseuds
OK then

>”I had never embraced a woman, and above all I had never been embraced by a woman (at age thirty!). Desire mounted in me, we made love on the bed, it was new, exciting, exalting, and violent. When she (Hélène) had left, an abysm of anguish opened up in me, never again to close.”

Is wizardhood essential to achieving greatness?

*kills ur wife*

Redpill me on Althusser. Which works of his are worth a read?

>the Communist Manifesto has had a questionable effect on the history of the interpretation of Marx

Choking my wife is momentary but marxism is forever

Why did he do it /lit/

>it wasn't me, the structure of the relations of production made me do it, after all, individual consciousness are the product of social practices and society moulds the individual in its own image through its ideologies! That's why I shouldn't be condemned for murdering my own wife.

How convenient. It's like Foucault holding emancipation as a principle so he could keep infecting other with HIV without any moral qualms.

This ain't no joke
You're gonna choke
When I'm slinging it to ya

Philosophy has no history.

Does it count when you get gaslighted into admitting you're a pseud?
