yikes lol
what do you find wrong with it?
existentialism i mean
Being a communist isn't the same as signing away your individual autonomy and having your own personal interests
(and just because i like existentialism doesn't mean other thinkers won't address the same issues and questions, schelling comes to mind as explaining why we are radically free and individuals but obviously w/o the same context to work with as jps)
@petit bourgeois Thanks! Always great to meet a fan
i actually met a fan in real life one time, one of the Knights For Socialism in Orlando. It was so weird but awesome
Phenomenology et al. is masturbation. The focus is wrong. It is a reflection of the material world not the centre of it. How do you even call yourself a Marxist?
ah the old metaphysics is masturbation meme
You do know Sartre was avowedly Marxist for the majority of his life, right?
sartre and de beauvoir both afaik
Yep
I care what a man says not who he keep company with.
And what he says is absolutely fine
i think his ideas on radiacal freedom are pretty anarchist imo
encouraging others to reject how Capitalist society defines them and to realize their absolute freedom is not contradictory to Communism
How do you reconcile existentialism and marxism?
i think he was jealous of camus
His existentialism did not contradict material analysis lmao
Nah, he just broke with the Marxist movements of his time, he was always p anti-authoritarian
the freakin intro to being and nothingness asserts his materialism and opposition to idealism
"The confrontation of existentialism with dialectical materialism is a genuine case of “either-or.”"
but can you seperate an ought from an is?
@danman1950 In what context?
@Deleted User in memes
that article says camus is an existentialist lol
He said he wasn't, but in effect p much was
i find absurdism to be distinct from existentialism
could just be because camus was more literary than philosophical tbh
I always thought of Absurdism as a sort of branch of Existentialism
fair
mfw Heidegger was a good philosopher in an apolitical sense but his politics were literally as bad as possible
What do y'all think of state capitalism
ew state capitalism
heidegger is fucking hilarious in how bad his politics are
>government can plan the economy
Sounds comfy to me desu
