TO THE GUY WHO SPAMS GUSTAVO BUENO:

After reading the limited amount of stuff I was able to find in English, would you say that his stuff could ACTUALLY constitute a synthesis between left and right? Because so far (with my limited understanding of it) he does seem to have a rather complex and consistent "third positionist" take

Id consider his writing to be first person prone, as far as positions Go, he seems right in the middle

[Anonymous No.16714387]

Well, he claimed to venerate Stalin, but invariably supported the conservative right-leaning parties when election time came. Would you consider that a synthesis?

if it's worth anything, it will be translated.

Well, as an American who has spent some time in Spain it seems to me (and this is true in a broader sense for Europe as well) that the "right" is only that when it comes to social values, so if he were to venerate the economics of Stalin while praising some Spanish conservatives' moral stance, I'd say that constitutes a synthesis. But again I really don't know about the guy at all and only discovered him through the guy that spams him here

You anglos fuck everything up.

I'm not even Anglo but it's true. Translation is the real test that a litarary work faces.

Translation is the ruin of a literary work.

Also I feel the need to say maybe the “left/right” dichotomy isn’t exactly what I’m trying to ask, perhaps using the “idealist/materialist” one will yield better answers

No, it's a way to expand it to other frontiers.

He said it in the context of a debate titled 'Spain: Nation of nations?' The quote is:

>What do we understand by culture when the Ministry of Culture doesn't have agriculture within its jurisdiction? What about the Ministry of war? War is most genuine form of culture. This is pure Marxism! Who won the World War? The First, the Second and the Third One? Where did missiles, computers, all the great achievements of the 20th century come from? Planes? TVs? The great achievements of the 1st and 2nd World Wars? War is won not by those who've got the most might, but by those who have that might but actually applied to 1st rate cultural works. That is, culture is not just reciting verses in Portuguese or whatever; culture is having missiles. And to anyone who has verses but doesn't have missiles, I'll remind them the words of the Pope; of the Pope and Stalin, who were very close: "How many divisions have you got?" Anyway -- it's just that I have Stalin in high esteem, eh? I still venerate him.

Bueno actually seems to be getting mixed up (or I'm not following what he's saying correctly) because the Pope never said anything like that; it was just Stalin who asked: "The Pope? How many divisions has he got?" when suggested that the Pope might warm up to him if he stopped shitting on Catholics.

There are some other references to Stalin throughout his work (for instance, that much of what Stalin wrote about nations might have been lip service to the Soviet Republics, if I remember correctly) which make me think that Bueno idolized him as a great man of State, so it goes beyond the purely economic side of things.

Yes. Translation is a BASED ancient art and not even all the autists in the world screeching at the same time will change that.

He's the only Philosopher after Hegel who proposes an actually brand new philosophical system: the Philosophical Materialism, with it's own Gnoseology and Ontology: the Categorical Closing Theory.
And it not surprise that he since achives this highs since he returns directly to Plato, as any mind of worth does.
In a rather dialectical way, because thinking is to think against someone, Bueno recovers the Scholastic tradition, a tradition purposely forgotten by envious and ungrateful minds (I'm seeing you, Hegel).

He also said thay Francoism was a golden age for Spain.

He was friends with Santiago Abascal too, who quotes him as one of his main influences.

He claimed to know scholastic from memory, and the School of Oviedo has been doing a great job at digitalizing the works of many scholastic and spanish philosophers from the Modern Age.
