Merci. It is but all too rare to see gratitude expressed by other comrades on this board towards this kind of effort.

Bump for interest

what do I need to understand Hegel? should i start with the greeks? should I start with Marx and move backwards and end with ababobabu of the gray cave? can you word it in a way that an ant that is now human would understand.

ok now could you be kind and sincere with me? where do I start, where do I go?

Value form is dialectical i heard. So read capital vol. 1

>>25114
you probably shouldn't post if you dont know what you are talking about

>>25122
explain what im misunderstanding

Anon all dialectics is - it's literally just a way to understand the truth.

think of plato's "dialectics" - a platonic dialectic is when two people argue about something, they're arguing because they both have the same idea about something and the only way for them to discover what that idea really is about is by hashing it via words.

i havent read hegel and I only know a bit - but from what i gather it's basically that hegel believes that the truth reveals itself over time - that truth is a substance? I think? like an actual thing that is apart of the pyhsical world, and that physical thing called "truth" was always embedded in everything, and only reveals itself over time through??? people living in history? I think??

a platonic dialectic is not a two-sided dispute over a common idea, but is a process of negating propositions by investigating their fundamental elements. children engage dialectically when they constantly ask "why?" - trying to reach for a first principle. i have compared the platonic dialectic to algorithms before: >>24881
where chains of reasoning reach a final value:
>if no, then no, then yes, then no = X
i find it very helpful to think in this way.

hegel's dialectic is a process by which truth is totality, or thought thinking itself, in contradiction with its constitutive parts. the unity of being is a medium between particulars as they self-relate by otherness. for A to relate to B, it must become not-A, yet in its movement to B, it must likewise negate its negation. yet in each movement, A and B are still preserved. history to hegel represents society's self-consciousness (geist) in different epochs. each era is the fulfilment of its movement to self-realisation, but at the moment of self-realisation, we conceive of something already lost (retroactivity) - hence the vanishing mediator. an example in psychoanalysis is in desire (pleasure principle). hunger creates a fantasy and in realising the fantasy, our desire also leaves us. so for something to be, it must also not-be.

so both are pursuing the completion of thought by arriving at final conclusions. the difference is perhaps that plato conceives of a non-contradictory unity while hegel perceives of a contradictory unity.

If learning programming be it for work or for fun or just self improvement, don't do those stupid template starter projects like the eternal to-do list. Program software that you want to use.

Real Programmers write in FORTRAN.

Maybe they do now,
in this decadent era of
Lite beer, hand calculators, and "user-friendly" software
but back in the Good Old Days,
when the term "software" sounded funny
and Real Computers were made out of drums and vacuum tubes,
Real Programmers wrote in machine code.
Not FORtranshumanistot RATFOR. Not, even, assembly language.
Machine Code.
Raw, unadorned, inscrutable hexadecimal numbers.
Directly.

Births like anything else are a social relation that is materially subject to external or internal influences and contradictions, and to that you say Birth Rates and the effect of industrialisation and living standards, I absolutely missed that and had made a truism or naturalistic assumption of progressive growth when Birth Rates can fluctuate, good spot there!

>what would you say these countertendencies are?
>would be interested in finding more marxist critiques of marx himself, haven't found many academically even.
Its not a critique. Notice how its the "tendency" for the profit rate to fall.

Profit rate falls because the share of material capital grows in relation to the rate of organic capital. IE you have to pay more for the upkeep or replacement of machines relatively than for labour, meaning that there is less total labour in society to be put into creating new capital and more is spend on maintaining what we already have.

The counter tendency is situations where labour saving in one sectors brings down the capital cost in another. Such as improving steel production by 30%. That makes machine upkeep cheaper in terms of labour, and frees labour to build new capital.

But in practice, the implementation of labour saving technologies in non-capital-producing sectors outpaces that of capital producing sectors (because the sectors that produced non-capital commodities, such as food, clothing, etc, are smaller than those that produce or work to maintain material capital), meaning that overall, there is more and more machines that need to be maintained relatively.

This thread is further evidence that all academics are grifters not unlike the people posted on ISG regularly.

<wrongly characterizes intellectual activity as occurring in isolation from the struggles constitutive of its social and political conjuncture, and at the same time does little to intervene in that conjuncture
so if they are the same results where are the AES analytical marxist countries?

>>25086
in what sense do you think they produce the same results in any way?

im trying not to be rude but it seems like you just dont read the posts responding to you so im not really incentivized to answer, so instead of assuming, why dont you tell us where you are getting these ideas

>>25087
>There's only one "marxism" and only one "communism", moron.
So why do different AES states look so different?

>Bleak.
It's the only thing that will give me a straight answer. All you guys have done is make fun of me for asking the question to begin with. Deepseek will at the very least respond to what I said in good faith.

>>25088
>why dont you tell us where you are getting these ideas
Based on the small amount of Analytical Marxism I've read. I'm open to being wrong, I just want to know why I'm wrong.

G. A Cohen is the main one, apparently it's technological determinism rather than class struggle as a reaction against the periodic crises of capitalism

Chapter 5 the ride of the Athenian State

Now this interesting:
>The Athenians then instituted a police force simultaneously with their state, a veritable gendarmerie of bowmen, foot and mounted Landjäger [the country's hunters] as they call them in South Germany and Switzerland. But this gendarmerie consisted of slaves. The free Athenian considered police duty so degrading that he would rather be arrested by an armed slave than himself have any hand in such despicable work. That was still the old gentile spirit. The state could not exist without police, but the state was still young and could not yet inspire enough moral respect to make honorable an occupation which, to the older members of the gens, necessarily appeared infamous.
Bolding mine
The whole chapter is very interesting Engel's and his source are on very solid ground due to a healthy science and art of philology in the era focussing in Classical Greek

Reading chapter 4 again
Worth reading to the end

Chapter 7, The Gens among the Germans and Celts

The Origin of the Family is a piece of trash and should be flushed down the toilet. There's practically no empirical evidence for any of Engels' claims and his theoretical model is junk, debunked well over a century ago. I really wish commies would stop reading that outdated piece of shit and taking it seriously.

Reading is fed.
