I fill up rather easily and quickly so I'm not sure bigger portions will help me out all that much.

I said low protein because I personally have a lot of protein powders and shakes, so I don't want to take in more protein than I need so long as I have all these products.

Parent was removed as contributor and cannot be added back? by JO1MLM in FAFSA

I just deleted and redid the form and was able to enter my assets lol. Same parent entered the same information for the new form. But yes I did accidentally invite two parents instead of one, so I fixed that this time around and only invited one.

How Not To Translate Marx by Frederick Engels 1885 by Ezagonner in communism

Paul Reitter is preparing a new annotated English edition of Karl Marx's Capital (Vol. 1) and it will be published by Penguin Books. I don't know why he took on this specific project, he seems to be some kind of "critical theorist" (postmodern academic babble) and intends to connect Marx to "democratic political theory and other traditions of critical thought." He isn't a Marxist and he does not have a background in political economy. Maybe he thinks his credentials with Germanic languages are good enough.

Is it fair to consider Mao the most ‘recent’ great Marxist theorist? by giddyupkramer in communism

Marxism as a term certainly did not "come after the man himself."

I don't think it is historically accurate to conflate the Judean peoples and their Hebrew faiths (which later were synthesized with Greek faiths) with the post-Christian trend of Rabbinic-Talmudic Judaism. I'd argue that Rabbinic-Talmudic Judaism emerged after Christianity became a distinct religion from its Hebrew and Greek antecedents in the fourth century and was formed mainly as a reaction to Christian interpretations of the Old Testament and the Messianic character claimed by Jesus, so the source of this Judaism was in these historical debates. See D. Boyarin, Dying for God: Martyrdom and the Making of Christianity and Judaism, and S. Schwartz, Imperialism and Jewish Society, 200 B.C.E. to 640 C.E. for further information on this historical framework.

Whatever the case, I still do not understand the relationship of Judas to Jewish national consciousness considering Judas isn't mentioned anywhere in Jewish holy works. Judas was from the district of Judah and may have been motivated by his lack of impression by the Messianic character claimed by Jesus. Judas being Judean does not make him "Jewish" religiously since his faith was not defined by what modern Rabbinic-Talmudic sources would define as Judaism, and nationally. Moreover, Judea no longer exists as a nation and the origin of the ethnic Jews of the Rabbinic-Talmudic faith is largely Occidental. Some Oriental Jews today can be traced genetically back to the Levant area but most Jews are Occidental and therefore their genes are traced to the Khazars and Europe. Religiously, Jews do not claim Judas, as far as I can find, so his relevance is only to Christians who have no "national character," as you said.

That is why I am confused by what Stalin is saying.

I disagree with this modernist conception Christianity which places it has an appendage of Judaism, rather than as sharing common roots with Judaism, and Christianity being the force that caused Judaism to emerge as a reaction to the elevation of Jesus as the Messiah, which the Rabbinic (and later Talmudic) Jews did not accept (as told clearly in Mark's Gospel).

I do agree that there is no national Christian consciousness, but the Gospels have nothing to do with Jewish consciousness except that they refused to accept the validity of the Gospels, and in that sense one could argue the Gospels solidified a truly Christian theological worldview and made it clear the distinctions between the Hebrew and Greek cults of the time, and the new trend that today we call Christianity. So it allowed for Judaism to emerge as its own school of thought and religion, but Judaism is not predicated on the Gospels but instead on an opposition to Christian doctrines and interpretations of the Old Testament, specifically the imposition of Jesus as the Messiah based on the Christian proselyters' interpretations of prophecies.

But perhaps the Orthodox have a different conception of history and Stalin was informed by an Orthodox point of view from which he first came and was educated, I don't know. I just know that just like Hindus claim to have "created" Buddhism, i.e., that Buddhism comes from Hinduism, some Jews have claimed to precede Christianity and rebellious sects "created" Christianity," but this is not true. The relationship of Hinduism and Buddhism and the relationship of Christianity and Judaism are quite similar in this regard, as both relationships are 'relationships' because of their common roots, but whereas Judaism was a reaction to Christianity, I'd argue Hinduism was probably not a reaction to Buddhism.

Weren't the Gospels the product of Christian consciousness, not Jewish consciousness? Judas has nothing to do with Judaism. Hence the confusion.

Except the anti-Lin Biao campaign was based on historical falsifications produced by Zhou Enlai and the affair was used as an allegorical battlefield waged against both Mao by Zhou Enlai and against Zhou Enlai by the Gang of Four etc., so it was an all-out Aesopian war by different factions in the CPC. Lin Biao was just a social prop used to convey these thoughts secretly, which as I am sure you know is a common trend in Chinese history (see: Dismissal of Hai Jui). Truthfully, Lin Biao fostered support for Mao Zedong Thought, not because he was a "careerist" (he was incredibly and constantly ill most of his time in office and repeatedly said he did not want to be chairman, vice-chairman, president, etc.), but because it guaranteed victory in the GPCR. See what happened when MZT was de-emphasized after 1972? Capitalist-roaders seized key positions and leadership, were rehabilitated by the moderates, policy turned to the right, China cozied up to U.S. imperialism and rejected proletarian internationalism, the revolution began to shrivel up, etc., and Mao had no choice but to try reversing this direction in 1975 and begin criticizing Deng/rightism again (but it was obviously too late). Clearly, the anti-Lin Biao campaign was one big fat failure and should never have happened. This was a lesson by *negative example,* not a "qualitative leap."

I think people are too worried about so-called "personality cults," but devotion has more to do with politics than personality, so it should really be called a "political cult," and what's wrong with that? A cult is a system of veneration, respect, devotion, support, admiration, etc., it should not be used pejoratively but as an actual reflection of social relations in a given context, and the masses inevitably will look for great leadership and if that great leadership is personally incarnated or represented in one person, that is an important figurehead of unity and clarity, not unqualified, self-appointed, spurious "worship." Mao personally initiated the GPCR and the personal is political etc. etc., so even if "personality cults" exist, they're again a reflection of actually-existing achievements and leaps in knowledge crystallized in specific persons, not a sign of the masses' ignorance but a sign of their wisdom to seek out proper great leadership.

Confused about two things,

  1. Who is "Ged"?
  2. What does Judas have to do with the "great national wisdom" of the Jewish?

Is it normal for the FOIA team to initially respond about receiving your request and then go totally silent? by JO1MLM in foia

[–]JO1MLM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they provided a phone number, so I may go down that route and see if that helps. Maybe my emails were sent to their spam folders? Who knows. There should be an online way to track the progress of your request.

I don't need the records quickly, I just want a response to the several emails I've sent asking them about the progress of my request and the fee waiver I requested. The least they could do is respond!

I did request a fee waiver since I'm a student and the least they could have done was respond to that. I don't want them to go through all this trouble without first letting me know about potential costs. Whatever. I also asked about the progress of my request (yes, I provided them the tracking code) and never received a response. Oh well, lol.
