Less about the parasocial more about the signal.

Less about subscribing to an individual podcast, more about listening to individual episodes and why that episode resonated.

Not videos. This is a chance for you to educate yourself while working, doing chores or exercising.

I'll go first. This episode of politics theory other was memorable because it made me reconsider the intersection of sex and politics, particularly as someone who sees themselves as becoming more skeptical about everything surrounding idpol as it's being co-opted and weaponized.

>Fight Like An Animal is a synthesis of behavioral science and political theory in search of paths to survival for this planet and our species. Each episode examines political conflict through the lens of innate contributors to human behavior, offering new understandings of our converging crises.

Very informative about biology and anthropology, makes a lot of daring and interesting claims. I would suggest starting from the first series of episodes "The Biology of the Left-Right Divide" and sticking to it even if you find some of the conclusions disagreeable.

>haha look at that schizo thred about ancient alien civilizations or whatever
that was me until this really effective asmr podcast The Fall Of Civilizations. I've no idea about the provenance or accuracy of the content but it's an amazing way just to get out of the moment and consider our place in time. Fall of the Pharaohs. Three. Thousand. Years. Ago. Having someone chill narrate the entire timeline is kind of mind blowing. They didn't have a line of 31 kings, they had a line of 31 dynasties. It starts to become clear why they teach ancient history and shit like latin in elite private schools and not to the proles in public schools.

Secular jew Yasha Levine (Surveillance Valley) continues his recent journey of shock and awe through Judaism. Wild shit tbh.
>We talk with Rachel Feldman about messianic zionism and the Temple Movement, which wants to end Judaism as we know it and replace it with an Israelite theocracy in the Holy Land complete with animal sacrifices — to go back more than 2,000 years to before Rome destroyed Jerusalem and ended Jewish rule. We also discuss the core of Rachel’s research: Noahidism, a new global religion for non-Jews that’s being spread by messianic zionists, including Chabad rabbis, in support of this future Israelite theocracy. Along the way we discuss the religious origins of zionist ideas, the unbroken chain linking secular and religious zionism, and the increasing radicalization of Jewish society in the direction of this messianic movement. This whole thing is a lot less fringe than you might think.
>Rachel Feldman is a professor of religion at Dartmouth and is an anthropologist of Judaism. This talk is inspired by her new book: Messianic Zionism in the Digital Age: Jews, Noahides, and the Third Temple Imaginary

the way i explain the labor to people is very simple. I cut straight to the chase.

I say these things, usually not all at once. I let people chew on each one:

> 1 If you’re a boss, and you own a business, you have to pay the worker less than their work is worth.
> 2 If you pay them exactly what their work is worth, you don’t make any money, your business won’t grow, and you’ll get bought out by some asshole who pays workers less.
> 3 If you pay a worker more than their work is worth, you’re losing money, your business will shrink, and you’ll go out of business.
> 4 the problem is the system, because the way the system is set up, workers have to beg for a job from people who own the places we work at, and the bosses only give the job to the lowest bidder, the people willing to do the most in exchange for the least in return.
> 5 everybody who can't get a job has to keep looking for a job until they get so desperate they start selling themselves for less and less
> 6 even with how little they pay us they think it's too much. so they constantly look for ways to make more money and pay less money.
> 7 they send our jobs overseas to where the labor is cheaper, and they want us to blame the people overseas even though they're the ones sending the jobs off and calling themselves job creators while they do it
> 8 they hire a bunch of overeducated nerds to make machines and programs to do our jobs for us, so they can fire us, and then they take credit for what those nerds make
> 9 they give the jobs to people who just got here and are usually running away from some fucked up shit like war and are therefore more desperate than even the average schmuck here is
> 10 despite all this shit they do to get rid of us or make us work for less money, they still need to sell the stuff they make, and if everyone's too poor to buy that shit, then they gotta lower the price
> 11 the faster they make stuff, the cheaper that stuff is because less work goes into makin it, and money is just a piece of paper that says some work got done

Someone once wrote that if you just read the first chapter of Capital I, II, III, and "IV", as well as Grundrisse, that you'd have enough to really be useful at a boot-on-ground level.

I've been tasked with creating a primary sources "introductory beginner" short course for new members, and there is no fucking way Capital in full is making it in…

>Someone once wrote that if you just read the first chapter of Capital I, II, III, and "IV", as well as Grundrisse, that you'd have enough to really be useful at a boot-on-ground level.

There's no way this can be true. The first chapter of II builds on a lot of the concepts introduced throughout volume I, and the same relationship is true of III and II. "IV" is Theories of Surplus Value. The first chapter of that is about Sir James Steuart, a political economist from the early 1700s. Not exactly Marx's biggest influence in Political Economy. Grundrisse is a collection of notes and doesn't even have a clear Chapter structure.

This post is old but its the most important post in the entire website. Why, you may wonder: because its a psyop.

Accuse me of being a schizo, but I think antagonizing simple explanations for morons or the intellectually lazy is an FBI psyop designed to prevent us the commies from flipping the rightoid's target demographic: the intellectually lazy and the morons.

When people say shit like "no need to simplify! no need to dumb down! what are you a classist?" they're just weaponizing left wing rhetoric to prevent you from doing that which will actually work.

So I tell all of you: Dumb it all down, simplify then make it simpler. Make it spread.

After three months of labor, I present you the current state of the translation project of the french Black Book of Capitalism from 1998.

The raw traduction is completed, the work is in the process of being proofread to enhance the general english level. So far two benevolent English speakers manifested their interest in this endeavour, one of them already corrected the Foreword and Introduction.

Gitea of the Black Book of Communism: https://git.leftypol.org/latexanon/bboc
If you download the whole deposit and run it trough a Tex editor, a whole book appears! Credits to LaTex Anon for this magic

This thread will be used as a hub to update the progressively the book with the proofreader's input, but also to sketch the specification of an enhanced edition of the BBOC, as well as gathering material in this regard, because after a few more decades of neoliberalism, some updates would be welcome. Furthermore as some people remarked, the book is far from exhaustive.

I wrote a long rambling intro to this post which I don't think anyone wanted to read so I'll cut it short. As a third worlder (not a third worldist) who has recently become more acquainted with Marxism and economic history, I've become interested in questions that seem relevant to my immediate political reality such as
>whether it's possible for "developing" and "underdeveloped" countries to actually become "developed", and in what circumstances (I recognize the vagueness of these concepts)
>the extent to which the common problems of these countries (such as crime, disease, famine, lack of support and freedom) is tied to their place in the current world order, and the extent to which they can escape or limit these problems without some sort of major global rearrangement
>what the likely path for these countries is in the foreseeable future
And I'm interested in book recommendations that can help me think through these questions. The books don't need to directly tackle these questions, just be illuminating in their regard. I'd prefer stuff with a strong basis in history and data over JUST pure theory, though both are fine.
Of course any input that you want to give about these questions based on your own views and knowledge is also welcome, though needless to say even the best imageboard posts can only accomplish so much compared to a book.

Reformatted it so that it was easier to read and it looks more clean. Expanded on a few sections. Added some new sections, though some pages of them are yellow, to indicate its on the chopping block whether they will continue to be left. Created new cover. While cool looking, its kinda hard to see where the name is, so thats probably changing, but I thought a temp cover wouldn't hurt. I will say that those who are complaining it isn't funny, I didn't really focus on that, so it might again be eh. Give your insights on what you read. Give suggestions for any other topics that could be addressed.
Thank you

the style definitely resembled a self help book by an amateur writer. It's filled with irrelevant fluff that in this style is probably just there to give a little ethos boost to the author. I don't think it really adds anything but it fits the style so as a satire it works.

You have many grammatical errors, and i'd urge you to give this pdf to a literate friend of yours to proof-read, so they can point out all the passages with weird phrasing or messed up punctuation. Try to put a noun and a verb in each sentence. When you ramble (presumably for a hook?) keep your point in mind and don't seem like you're rambling.

I agree with the first anon who said to either make this a poster (for the purpose of actually spreading good info some people need on food, exercise, hygiene, sleep, and i'd add in skincare and mental health self-care tbh cause u know ppl are out there not having enough mental health lol) or an actual book where u go into more depth. But tbh i take it as it is, it's a funny little project. Idk, it is what it is but you should polish it up some so it doesnt come off like its written by an illiterate or an elementary school student.

There are people who spend their entire lives reading Hegel and still manage to come out empty handed.

ITT we discuss the great thinker, Karl Marx's teacher, and he on who's shadow we walk:

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

>What are good things to read/view to get an understanding of Hegel from a philosophical neophyte?

<What service can Hegel's philosophy provide us today?

>What an be done to make Hegel more accessible to the masses? Why is it so unpenetrable?

Incredible fucking thread. You don't need to understand Hegelian categories to be a Marxist. You don't even really need Hegel. Marx only used dialectics as a method of presenting changes and development in historical phenomena, not as a means of understanding. You can't dialectically understanding anything.

>inb4 muh Lenin
Lenin was already finished with retards like you by 1905.

>>22750
It is not just Lenin that disagree with you but Engels, too.
In his writings, Engels make it pretty clear that he seens Dialetics as something important in order to understand the world. He differentiate between a metaphysical and a Dialektical approach to understand the world. The main difference, as I can tell, is the idea of fixed substances or essences.

You claim that you do not need Hegel in order to understand Marx, depends deep on your interpretation. Marx makes some comments that sounds in a way that justify the hypothesis that he never dropped Hegelian philosophy.

The theory of consciousness, the Widerspiegelungstheorie der Wahrheit (mirrortheory of truth) and all that can not be explained without some philosophy. And this philosophy has to be Hegelian in nature.

Someone posted this else where, map of science of logic:
https://autio.github.io/projects/scienceoflogic/

>>22750
Hard disagree. Dialectical thinking is a very powerful tool to understand systems and change. I personally use it all the time in my life for mundane reasoning and tasks.

Late but a really good one is Pornography: men posessing women by andrea dworkin.

Read Baudrillard and realize that all media is pornography and our experience is mediated by this obscene pornography.
