EVERYTHING

So you think we're in a state of permanent revolution?

You should really see how cool Peter Hitchens remains whilst delivering this information to us, FROM HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS A TROT!

Yes @elliottbw

Man the current working class probably doesn't even know what communism is on the whole, let alone is it familiar enough with it as a concept to organise together to overflow capitalism as some sort of global effort to replace it with communism

It isn’t WORKING CLASS anymore

It’s in the INSTITUTIONS

Nope

Peter Hitchens in this case

He since reformed into the more conservative of the warring two Hitchens siblings

I assume they both had similar experience

That's not what Trotskyism is though it's not about institutions it's about the working class

Christopher became more enamoured of progression through the physicalist scientific paradigm, whilst his younger brother Peter turned to Christianity

Trotskyism is all about mass action by the working class

If you follow the account of Peter Hitchens, it became about a change in the focus from proletariat to infiltrating the institutions

You can throw these words in capital letters all you want but there seems to be little to no supporting evidence for what you're saying

Then that's not Trotskyism that's just changing public opinion

Which happens a heck of a lot

Don’t worry I’ve finished, it’s up to you if you want to “pick up the thread” 👍

1950s: smoking good
2000s: smoking bad

lmao you smoke I just eat the cigarette

Man honestly I'm still trying to follow your thread from Tesla -> cultural Marxism -> Trotskyist permanent revolution

1920: Freud’s nephew exploits his uncle’s groundbreaking Psychological theories into manipulating the popularity of smoking amongst women 😉

Or, you know, advertising in action...?

Don’t worry @elliottbw its a long and twisted thread 😅

Advertising is predicated on human psychology

Freud’s nephew created modern consumerist advertising based on his uncle’s principles, after he came out of the US propaganda “information ministry” after WW1

Freud’s theories were also co-opted by the Bloomsbury Group who are chock full of Trots

Bloomsbury Group are basically responsible for transplanting Psychological manipulation techniques into social policy...

Psychological manipulation techniques in social policy? Where?

It crosses over with the Tavistock Centre in London

In CULTURE

and social/political/psycho-healthcare/education

Social policy in culture? Those are two *distinct* things

Sure, they can impact one another

Crossover is key

But a culture does not have social policy

Look what Freud’s nephew did 😉

Yes it does if you have the long march through the institutions

I am enjoying watching this trainwreck of a conversation unfold

keep going
