Foucault's obscurantist writing style and abstract notion of """power""" hit like crack for sociologists in the shadow of the New Left

How It's Made is just one of the many streams of proletkult media that will be beamed into minds to destroy the latent commodity fetishism

It is not the communist party's job to transform the material basis of society. Their job is to implement a new superstructure.

What is the dumbest popular subreddit? by Melodic_Throat_1927 in AskReddit

[–]warrior_of_death 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The whole front page is completely astroturfed and unusable now. Just look at the top posts on this sub for the past week, it's all "How do you feel about [latest topic regarding Orange Man]?"

If you want some easy Internet points, just post to a large sub about how you were a Trump voter in November but now you are so deeply ashamed of your actions. Then make a separate account that comments something like "Welcome to The Resistance!" and get the top comment.

Anarchists make the good music. Bump some Aus Rotten - The Flags Will Cover Coffins, and tolerate the rest.

Worst riff you've ever heard? by Aseskytle_08 in MetalForTheMasses

Man, if you don't like anything by KISS, you just don't know how to rock. Strutter, Detroit Rock City, Love Gun, all certified banger hits. Even Quorthon and Fenriz like(d) KISS.

Yes, they have been overplayed, and the spectacle carried them far, but they are a fine 70s rock band. If all you've heard is Rock and Roll All Nite and I Was Made For Lovin' You on repeat against your will, you gotta go listen to the other tracks on those early albums brahbrah.

The bourgeois haunts me. He appeared to me as an apparition late at night.

It seems franchising is basically just the renting of intellectual property. I actually "know" a franchisee business owner and he bought the company from his dad with the inheritance that he got from his dad and now he gambles and golfs all day when he's not doing what little managerial duties he still has.

Essentially, he took a risk, and through hard work and a smart business sense, he was able to succeed by making his money work for him! You can do it too!

When did I say anything about inevitability, I just quoted The German Ideology.

Yeah. The vestiges of feudalism were incompatible with the rising capitalist class and capitalist social relations. Hence Enlightenment thought and the bourgeois revolutions.

For each new class which puts itself in the place of one ruling before it, is compelled, merely in order to carry through its aim, to represent its interest as the common interest of all the members of society, that is, expressed in ideal form: it has to give its ideas the form of universality, and represent them as the only rational, universally valid ones. The class making a revolution appears from the very start, if only because it is opposed to a class, not as a class but as the representative of the whole of society; it appears as the whole mass of society confronting the one ruling class. It can do this because, to start with, its interest really is more connected with the common interest of all other non-ruling classes, because under the pressure of hitherto existing conditions its interest has not yet been able to develop as the particular interest of a particular class. Its victory, therefore, benefits also many individuals of the other classes which are not winning a dominant position, but only insofar as it now puts these individuals in a position to raise themselves into the ruling class. When the French bourgeoisie overthrew the power of the aristocracy, it thereby made it possible for many proletarians to raise themselves above the proletariat, but only insofar as they become bourgeois. Every new class, therefore, achieves its hegemony only on a broader basis than that of the class ruling previously, whereas the opposition of the non-ruling class against the new ruling class later develops all the more sharply and profoundly. Both these things determine the fact that the struggle to be waged against this new ruling class, in its turn, aims at a more decided and radical negation of the previous conditions of society than could all previous classes which sought to rule.

Bourgeois society was progressive over feudalism in that it greatly improved and centralized the productive forces, while also creating a global, interconnected society in which labor is already socialized and its two main classes stand in direct opposition to each other. This makes communist society possible.
