Marx grounds Hegel in historic specificity out of transhistoricity. He does not empty out the dialectic and fill it in with his own properties, no. The movement of the Geist that Hegel traces is not transhistorical. Rather, the movement that he traces is Capital itself. The Subject for Marx, like Hegel is so abstract and can not be identified with any social actor whatsoever. This is the world where abstract labour (which is not immaterial labor) becomes the social bond, social mediation that mediates itself, reducing actual work to a simple expression of abstract labor. Abstract labor is then the source of alienation. The self-moving subject, Spirit, Geist, is misrecognized in Hegel, it is described by Marx as Capital and its self-valorization. And so the past communist movements were in error to identify Geist with the proletariat, otherwise that would entail worker-realization not worker-abolition.

I need to get out of America quick what is the most /lit/ country/city to move to? This country is full of midwits who don't know what is in their interests and the people at the top just want to eat everything up.

Why are so many people against socialism when it is in their interest and would make their lives better? ie. they would have more say in the work place, a job would not be their life and they would have more time to spend with their family and develop their creative interests, they wouldnt be slaves to someone else's profit, better healthcare, they wouldnt be fired ezpz to be replaced by a pajeet or a chink to do their work for half the price, etc.

Are creativity, passion, curiosity, and wonder dead in this late stage of capitalism? We used to have polymaths who studied science, art, philosophy, etc but now everyone is a specialist at something and everything is boring. Does mere profit as a motive only get you dumbed and watered down shit?
