What even is Western society? It's such an empty concept.

because leftists dominate the social sciences, why are you asking questions you already know the answers to? it's a basic fact of life that everyone learns when they get to uni. deal with it and stop complaining

Marx is western

>>19673015
>I am not a Marxist, and pretty much all the lit I am reading is Marxist
What are you specifically reading?

>>19673113
Marx and Marxism is a separate contra-western tradition spawned out of the western tradition.

>>19673015
Except that Marx didn't hate the West, he pinned all his hopes on it and he is himself a Western classic.

>>19673145
Incorrect, Marxism is yet one more Western revolution as was the French revolution and the rights of man before him.

>>19673154
This is the hot take. Marxists and other radical thinkers don't want to destroy the West and its people. They want to save it from what they perceive as its doom. (capitalism).

>>19673015
Socialism utopian and scientific.
Peasants war in Germany.
Condition of the working class in England.

>I am not a righty, but I am not a Marxist, and pretty much all the lit I am reading is Marxist
Just to be clear - what constitutes marxist literature for you? Are you saying you're being made to read marx or some YA novel where a black woman is the protagonist?

He's saying Adorno and his like were anti-Western. He's so suspiciously well informed on the topic of neo-Marxism that I can't help but suspect him of being deep state.

>>19673015

idk anything about adorno but as these anons said >>19673154 >>19673159 marxism is not anti-western. But anyway, this thread is shit. It'd do you good if they actually were forcing you to read marx.

>>19673015
It's been like that for a good 15 years at least, probably even longer than that.

>>19673015
Fucking communist dick suckers

Only lazy and stupid people like Marx

>>19673015
Modernity, people that used to live in big cities, have rich fathers, god privileged life and end up in a very confortable job (college profesor) end up hating his society becouse they seem to not have a real goal in their life.

Is that or are litterally jews destabilizing our society

I support both theories

>>19673104

>>19673824
No duh, you thought I was actually being serious about Adorno being anti-Western?
