Re: Ideology
Hey BP, Lazarus here. I've read Shea's work as well..I don't subscribe to everything he says (his definition of the left is not actually a definition for instance) but you can see the outlines of legitimate Marxist analysis taking shape.

Re: Footnotes from the Ukrainian "Crisis"; New High-Points in Cynicism Part IV
https://orinocotribune.com/europe-is-sl ... world-war/ Been on twitter. 99.9% dawdling. Vast majority of "left" voices totally unable to process covid let alone current situation. Ideological confusion is total and complete on the platform. Meanwhile, West is galvanizing for biblical level War and b...

Re: Footnotes from the Ukrainian "Crisis"; New High-Points in Cynicism Part IV
I find weakness in both works.One recognizes the dialectical nature of history without necessary reference to Lenin's 'Imperialism'. The other is all about Imperialism without any reference to history or current reality. While Acosta might have addressed the imperialist rivalry of the US and Russia...

Re: Footnotes from the Ukrainian "Crisis"; New High-Points in Cynicism Part IV
I consider Zoltan Zigedy/Greg Godels to be one of the best voices on the Marxist left but I really hate that fucker right now. Compare what he writes: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ to this: https://libya360.wordpress.com/2022/02/28/the-hypocrisy-of-a-leftist-no-to-war-that-comes-too-late/ The tragedy...

Re: Footnotes from the Ukrainian "Crisis"; New High-Points in Cynicism Part IV
So what do you think BP? I think it is not so much TEOTWAWKI but closer to the reverse -- the end of a world that was not as we knew it (especially one that was somehow NOT defined by Class Struggle). Almost the entirety of the "left" misses this point wildly and for the singular reason that materia...

Re: Footnotes from the Ukrainian "Crisis"; New High-Points in Cynicism Part IV
So what do you think BP? Eight years ago I remember talking about the fact that no one would've welcome a Russian "invasion" more than Karl Marx. What is indisputable is that the fascist-infested Maidan creeps have been trying to eliminate the ethnic Russians of the Donbass for the last 8 years and ...

Re: What are you reading?
Check this guy out BP: https://www.networkideas.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/01_2020.pdf Ali Kadr is mainly talking about China but he is actually theorizing Imperialism in a far richer and contemplative manner than most. In a way it harks back to something Anax used to say that theory is in need ...

Re: What are you reading?
Great work here BP. I just finished Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli who is a quantum physicist. This book more than any other recalls for me a comment by Anaxarchos that the only mistake Lenin made in Materialism & Empirio-criticism was vastly underestimating the number of positivists/Machists. At points...
