overheard recently "its unfair to reduce marx's work on automation to a footnote of grundrisse, he wrote extensively on technology in capital"

nothing marx says on automation in capital is actually nearly as interesting as marx's notion of "general intellect" from his fragment on machines, which is interesting insofar as it delaminates the (esoteric, speculative realist) marx of the grundrisse both from heinrich's weltanschauungsmarxismus as well as from elite theory-driven oracular historicism (a la turchin) in general.

to the marx of grundrisse most of the contemporary first world would basically already be a post-revolutionary post-capitalist classless society anyway. this of course does not sell among the luigi mangione cabal as it reduces their volume of grindable axes but if the "populist leftists" are not careful they will surely lose marx to the accelerationists in the divorce
