"It is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes who had joined Moses’ exodus from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother on the paternal side had not interbred with a n—–. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product."- Karl Marx

“Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”- Karl Marx

Stop being oppressed.

What is esstential...socialist(?)....reading?

The world is turning to shit and the left has been hijacked by identity politics and rich kids playing revolutionist.

I want to know more about socialism and it's roots, and what a workable system looks like. I also want to know what exactly neoliberalism is, since it's apparently something that has disguised itself as left wing or something.

MARX IS DEAD

Suppose Marx's ideas weren't put to such use as they were in the twentieth century - suppose Marx never entered into the world of action, how would he be remembered in the history of philosophy? We know what he is infamous for, what would he have been famous for, if anything?

What's up with the sanctification of the working class in Socialist or otherwise anti-Capitalist theory?

The working class and their "exploiters" are two ends of the same cancerous stick that is Western Materialist Individualism. The "no Gods, no masters" rhetoric is perfectly ironic because the rejection of Objective Morality and the slow gutting of Monarchy - the only means of maintaining a planned Economy - set into motion by the Enlightenment are the two pillars of the current Economic and Human crisis.

You cannot address the inhuman abjection of the CEO without addressing the inhuman abjection of the wage slave. Both of which are under the same spell - Darwinian phantasmagoria, hedonism, fear of death, social sadomasochism, morbid obsession with objects, extraversion in the classic Jungian sense of mental divergence, past-oriented thinking, denial of their inner states.

I honestly don't know shit about political theory & I rly want to get into it. help me out here, /lit/
