They think they can effect Material conditions based on how they can influence culture and morals of the ppl(goal being communism). It is derived from Marx, i guess you can claim it's a different movement..? @Xinyue

2018-12-11 17:50:16 UTC  

Lol what ? It has more in common with nietzchean thought than marxism(ie fouccalt)

2018-12-11 17:50:25 UTC  

What the fuck?

2018-12-11 17:50:30 UTC  

What does it have in common with Nietzsche?

2018-12-11 17:50:31 UTC  

?

2018-12-11 17:50:50 UTC  

I'm curious about your hot take on this.

2018-12-11 17:51:14 UTC  

And no, it's absolutely ripping the Hegelian/Marxist dialectic.

2018-12-11 17:51:26 UTC  

To say it has "more" in common with Nietzsche than Hegel or Marx is pretty laughable.

2018-12-11 17:51:26 UTC  

I've seen some qoute from fouccalt about how he rejected old marxism for nietzche or something,i need to find it

2018-12-11 17:51:38 UTC  

You saw some quote from Foucault?

2018-12-11 17:51:40 UTC  

> They think they can effect Material conditions based on how they can influence culture and morals of the ppl

literally anti-Marxist

2018-12-11 17:51:45 UTC  

I don't think you've read Nietzsche, Marx, or Hegel.

2018-12-11 17:51:48 UTC  

You poor sweet summer child.

2018-12-11 17:51:52 UTC  

Marx claimed the world specifically doesn't work like this

2018-12-11 17:52:03 UTC  

the entire thrust of Marx's and Engels' theory is that culture is downstream from material conditions

2018-12-11 17:52:07 UTC  

and cannot be any other way

2018-12-11 17:52:09 UTC  

@Xinyue read my previous comment

2018-12-11 17:52:29 UTC  

```the equation u identified with the base structure and superstructure, or that Marx did, they pretty much saw it as not a one way street, the New Left was a Psychoanalytical movement too, they saw it as a Relationship @Xinyue ```

2018-12-11 17:52:34 UTC  

so its not Marxism and cannot ever be considered a tool or expansion of Marxism because its divorced from the *foundational premise* of Marxism

2018-12-11 17:52:36 UTC  

plain and simple

2018-12-11 17:52:42 UTC  

Nietzsche's whole thing was about rejecting religious values which had sustained society until the Enlightenment in favor of the self-made man who creates his own meanings and morals. This is completely antithetical to the Hegelian/Marxist dialectic which blames misfortune on material conditions.

2018-12-11 17:52:47 UTC  

You have no idea what you're talking about buckeroo.

2018-12-11 17:52:53 UTC  

@Xinyue but u disagreed with when I said that both ancaps and commies look at culture and human interaction as downstream of market forces and here u are confirming it

2018-12-11 17:53:01 UTC  

not market forces

2018-12-11 17:53:02 UTC  

Cool story peterson

2018-12-11 17:53:03 UTC  

*material conditions*

2018-12-11 17:53:04 UTC  

It is an outgrowth of Marxists Thought

2018-12-11 17:53:08 UTC  

entirely different things

>material conditions

2018-12-11 17:53:34 UTC  

material conditions are

a) resources
b) technology level
c) the environment in general, nature factors etc

2018-12-11 17:53:34 UTC  

>not market

2018-12-11 17:53:38 UTC  

these are not "market forces"

2018-12-11 17:53:43 UTC  

basically market

2018-12-11 17:53:45 UTC  

....no

2018-12-11 17:53:47 UTC  

its not market at all

2018-12-11 17:53:48 UTC  

yes

2018-12-11 17:53:52 UTC  

don't fucking deny it

2018-12-11 17:53:53 UTC  

the material world is not "market"

2018-12-11 17:53:54 UTC  

Yeah I agree it isn't very Marxist, I think it's much more Hegelian. But you're shitting yourself if you don't think the original members of the Frankfurt School weren't open Marxists who saw their revisionism as an antidote to both Soviet authoritarianism and democratic socialism.
