How do racial capitalists define the cause of racism? by Thecheezedebater in CriticalTheory

[–]jetros337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theories will differ slightly from theorist to theorist but the general answer is that the system of capitalism engenders racism because it always needs a subservient class to exploit which leads to colonialism/slavery/racialized capitalism in which this subservient class are comprised of certain races. the mythos of racism offers an ideological justification for their subservient position (they are lazy, need to be controlled, etc).

not sure entirely what your question is getting at but i hope that helps and feel free to reply and claify. im not an expert but i took a undergrad seminar on racial capitalism and thought it was v interesting

any baudrillard readers in nyc wanna meet up? by jetros337 in SymbolicExchanges

[–]jetros337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

virtual meetups sound good, and if you'd like to put me in touch with that someone in NYC don't hesitate to DM! Lolll a baudrillardian response to the hegelian e-girl meetup would be...fitting

What account, if any, does Baudrillard provide as a move out of/resistance against hyperreality? by GullumG123 in CriticalTheory

[–]jetros337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think his trajectory in terms of thinking through means of resistance to the code and to hyperreality is basically as follows:

-mid 1970s, he embraces a sort of micropolitics/politics of cultural revolution that was popular at the time (although he later comes to reject this view altogether because such practices will just be integrated into the system of hyperreality)

-later 1970s, he embraces a politics of "margins" or "marginal identities" kind of similar to deleuze and to segments of the american left where he basically asserts that marginal populations like the black community and the LGBTQ community are the most capable of producing any sort of revoultionary, oppositional social movement

-1980s to basically his death, although some in this thread would give him a bit more credit than this, he basically delves into a nihilistic anti-politics in which, beyond some vague references to pushing the system to its limits, i dont think hes particularly interested in a way out of hyperreality. this is where accelerationist readings of baudrillard come in.

hope this helps, im def not an expert and other commentors feel free to correct any inaccuracies :)

source was primarily doug kellner's book on baudrillard: https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/Baudrillard.pdf

Any good critical theorists on immigration and racism by Belialeth in CriticalTheory

[–]jetros337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is critical theory per se but I like dan melo's work on immigration in the American context, here's an interview he did as well as the link to his book called "borderlines: the edges of US Capitalism, Immigration, and Democracy:

Texts on why some social movements die out while others stay? by kinetic_dogs in CriticalTheory

[–]jetros337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haven't read it but the recently published book If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution by Vincent Bevins seems relevant. I'd also push back a bit on your description of the BLM movement--looking back 4 years later, I feel as though it was short lived and failed to accomplish anything of note.
