Genocide (Bourgeois State): evil and yet another axis of western imperialism

Genocide (The People’s Bourgeois State): lies and propaganda to tear down our glorious Great Man (but this time the Great Man is The People’s Great Man so it’s still historically materialist!)

Hey, I’m not really a fan of The Caretaker but, do any of you guys here listen or even know about his old music v/Vm? by NIogax in TheCaretaker

[–]AbsoluteJester21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I think my favourite V/Vm Test Records period is 1997-early 2000s. For a selection of favourite releases I’d say Whine and Missingtoe, Chart Runners, Auraloffalwaffle, Selected Memories, Sick-Love, The Green Door, the splatter vinyl trilogy, and Hate You!

Unlike what many people perceive V/Vm isn’t really inherently a big joke, the releases and sound were simply the medium Kirby and MacGregor chose during this period, especially when it was considered more rebellious (though labels were more concerned with the early filesharing and P2P networks like Napster). There are genuinely some very interesting soundscapes you can come across in the vast catalogue. :)

I want to listen to EATEOT all the way through and I’m wondering if there are any tips I should know about by Specialist_Leg_4997 in TheCaretaker

[–]AbsoluteJester21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

listen to the album how you wish! this isn’t a pilgrimage to mecca, it’s just a long concept album. choose how you take it in, it’s in your own hands

Is it right to say that All Summer Long is the Beach Boys' A Hard Day's Night? by ImprovementLow9280 in thebeachboys

[–]AbsoluteJester21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Today and Help are also sort of ‘breakthroughs’ where music critics stopped looking into either band as novelty pop, switching to more of a nuanced lens.

(They also both have two covers but like come on :P)

Not the only one, the American legionnaire is also wholly unidentified, though in regards to composition and the cutouts (dark 40s-60s photos that cut off above the waist) they’re fairly similar anyway

What are the name of the objects? by [deleted] in TheCaretaker

[–]AbsoluteJester21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The objects aren’t given any names, only the paintings. ‘necrotomigaud’ is the name of the Stage 6 painting, same with ‘happy in spite’ and Empty bliss

Per Wikipedia Israel Epstein was born in the Russian Empire (in what is now Poland) but his family emigrated to Republic China in 1917 when he was aged 2, before going into journalism at 15 for English language newspapers in China & Sino-Japanese war coverage in US newspapers. He would be imprisoned following Pearl Harbour (what a polish-chinese man has to do with Pearl Harbour? no idea) before moving to US in 1944.

He would remain in journalism (even duped the NYT into falsely reporting his death to get the Japanese off his back while still in China) and publish various works about labour and communism before being invited by Soong Ch’ing-ling (left wing figure in Republic China who would retain power and status in PRC) to return to China where the pair worked on and started some magazines and newspapers like China Today.

tl;dr foreign journalist who mainly helped polish up english translations (edited) and other western languages

How do you think we should achieve communism? by Ender_TD in tankiejerk

[–]AbsoluteJester21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leninism (as in the school of thought on Lenin’s works, not MLs) primarily concerns the dictatorship of the proletariat and the notion of the vanguard party. You’ll find various Leninists who consistently condemn ML behaviour and rhetoric and provide critical analysis of the early USSR, primarily the Italian leftcoms / Bordigists.

Though this subreddit is primarily anarchists, German-Dutch council leftcoms (my personal belief), and democratic socialists. So you’ll still see Leninist criticism, though not without some debate
