  • Are you reading the Science of Logic? It's not a good introduction to Hegel, let alone philosophy. Start here instead: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/ol/encycind.htm Also (cliche I know) browse around https://plato.stanford.edu/ for broad overviews on certain topics.

    Contrary to everyone here I would encourage you to go further. Understanding dialectics is a necessity for any Marxist--here you will perhaps be interested in Lenin's Philosophical Notebooks. To really understand dialectics, and be able to make the transformation to its material ground would put you in a position to understand Marxism better than 99% of today's "Marxists"









  • Postmodern nonsense. Playing games with language and symbols, inventing categories--alterity, difference, whathaveyou, has no explanitory power in comparison to class, their movements and relations. What this blog post boils down to is nothing new: a slavish devotion to spontaneity, and indivualistic terror. It is no longer 1840. We have roughly 200 years of accumulated revolutionary experience all around us. That is our starting point. That is what we must take up and synthesize if we are to begin again, and pull this world out of the dark age its been cast into. Forgot Derrida.
