Determination is the weight pressing down on the brains of the living from the tradition of former generations in the form of congealed abstract labor — the intangible trait shared by by all commodities. The living nonetheless act!

To be clear, it was the biggest night for Christian liberalism, not leftism. What we actually need is the militant, class-conscious Christianity of Jacques Roux and Ernesto Cardenal.

"Marx was able to develop a more adequate theory of the capitalist mode of production because he took as his starting point the experience of the working class. This is why Marx’s work was able to speak to the experience of the working class." Another Simon Clarke banger.

Communists who have no illusions, who do not give way to despondency, and who preserve their strength and flexibility ‘to begin from the beginning’ over and over again in approaching an extremely dificult task, are not doomed (and in all probability will not perish).
— V.I Lenin
We could all stand to be a little more dialectical about the Enlightenment, and not merely in the hand waving sense of vaguely acknowledging good things and bad things at once. The Enlightenment names many antagonistic historical possibilities, only some of which were realized.
It is my sincere belief that Nickel Boys is the best film ever made because it uses all of the powers of the medium to capture a single time and place in its very historical essence. Just as some of the best literature is written by poets, the best film is made by a photographer.
The most important scene in You Can See Everything is when Nathan Fielder shows Elizabeth Holmes the Abbott and Costello routine where neither one can understand the other. He asks her to explain it and she eventually breaks down. Fielder is being a great psychoanalyst here!
Deleuze: “…phenomenology has had three moments: the large Hegelian structures, then Husserl’s semiology, the study of sense…but finally something very different started with Sartre. Sartre introduced a full pragmatics into phenomenology, and converted it into this pragmatics.”

“To explain how the strangest metaphysical claims of a philosopher really come about, it is always good (and wise) to begin by asking: what morality is it (is he) getting at? … There is absolutely nothing impersonal about the philosopher.”
-Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, 1.6
