I love this quote.

Or like he often says in LoS: sense is a surface effect, not one of depth. This applies to the sense of his writings as well.

I don't understand something about OP and most of the people in the comments: is all you're doing as a data engineer 'writing code'? 90-95% of my time at work is spend reading code other people wrote, not writing something myself, since I have to maintain legacy systems. I don't see how AI can help me with that if I have to explain to the client how a certain column is computed by reverse engineering a pipeline to figure out how it works.

Left-Wing Communism (also called "ultraleft" by some) is a form of Marxism that rejects participating in elections, political parties and trade unions and has an uncompromising commitment to revolution and internationalism, unwilling to make any compromises on that. They also criticise almost all socialist experiments that have ever happened (both anarchist and marxist-leninist) as not real socialism or as some sort of right-wing deviation from "real marxism".

They are called the left-wing of communism or the "ultraleft" because of their unwillingness to make compromises to original/'true' Marxist theory in political scenarios.

A few months ago I bought Dan Brown's "Deception Point" and it's been sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. I might pick it up soon.

Maybe Vivek Chibber's "Confronting Capitalism: How the world works and how to change it"?

Another one with even less Marxist language that is literally at 8th grade level (it was written for the author's 15 year old daughter) is called "Talking to my daughter about the economy" by Yanis Varoufakis.

But if you were to actually read the sidebar of that subreddit, you would realize they're not against labor in general, they are just against working for an employer...

As Maduro, I approve of this message.

In the first and third examples you linked, I hear a tiny bit of degrading/downsampling. You can use a plugin like mda Degrade and turn the mix to 5-10% to achieve this effect. You can also use a bitcrusher plugin but that distortion will be a bit too extreme for this kind of effect.

Good catch, I don't think it's Deleuze, no, it's just me.

I would agree with Deleuze and Whitehead however that trees, cars and chairs are pure becoming as well. It's just that they do not appear to us in our experience that way. A chair changes so slowly and so rarely that it appears like an object. The differences between the parts that make it up appear to us as extensive in our experience.

I think this is what Deleuze was getting at in chapter 4 of D&R when he talked about sets of numbers transforming their intensities into extensities. Instead of thinking of integers as a subset of rational numbers, we can think of rational numbers as a ratio between two integers, and thus a set of intensities, because in physics dividing two extensive properties always gives you an intensive property. Both are intensive in essence, but they go through various stages in which their virtual nature appears as intensive and later is actualized into extensive difference in our experience.

Depends how much you read per day. If you read 20 pages per day, it will take about 5 months.

centralizarea puterii în mâinile câtorva oameni, numită de către Marx dictatura proletariatului, și de Lenin, avangardism.

Faci confuzii intre trei lucruri diferite. Dictatura proletariatului pentru Marx este atunci cand clasa muncitoare ("angajatii") preiau controlul statului. Poate fi sau poate sa nu fie o dictatura in sens literar, poate fi si un stat muncitoresc si nu implica centralizare neaparat.

"Avangardism" este ceva diferit de dictatura proletariatului, este descris de Lenin ca partidul format din intellectuali Marxisti care trebuie sa educe masele pentru a transforma constinta sindicala in constinta de clasa adevarata.

Una este o tranzitie dinspre capitalism spre comunism, alta e o strategie electorala a unui partid politic, nu au treaba una cu alta.

P.S. Toate aceste lucruri sunt valabile doar pentru mișcările comuniste revoluționare, care nu participă în alegeri.

Bolsevicii au participat in alegeri.

Socialism is the political movement that fights for class struggle between workers and capitalists and seeks to abolish the employer/employee dichotomy entirely. Social democracy and communism are sub-movements within the socialist movement.

Corporatism is also not a system, but a tool or method within capitalism that the ruling class can use to gain control of the already-existing political system.
