Teach me about him, I skimmed his Wikipedia article and saw two sections about his romantic life and mental illness which looked interesting.
Why isn't he more well known? What has he done? What did he believe in?
He believed Karl Marx was two different people, the guy writing the manuscripts snd the manifesto who was a liberal and Marx the Marxist who wrote Capital
>>2638911Seriously? Did he think he had some disorder?
>>2638910>I skimmed his WikipediaThat’s all you ever do about anything in life so why bother teaching you anything?
>>2638912Nah it’s a joke, he believed Marx had an epistemic break from the rest of the enlightenment
>>2638922Kind of depressing to read this
>>2638922>>2638910this uygha admitted he didnt even read marx. just more evidence philosophy is absolutely worthless
>>2639049So he just made shit up?
>>2639438Good, that means his analysis isn’t burdened
>>2638922people with mental illnesses (such as depression) should refrain from writing theory, the mental illness colors and infuses their thinking with either schopenhauerian pessimism (depression), nietzschean sociopathy (personality disorders), or academic positivism (autists)
>>2639449Normal, healthy people are entirely apolitical
>>2639451normal, healthy people hate the ruling class
ask any member of the public
>>2638911Booklet take. Althusser lays down exactly how Marx's thought matured, i.e. changed. To deny this is to worship a dogma.
>>2638914Which is objectively correct. He and Engels enacted scientific communism, which necessarily involves a break with previous methods and views (e.g. Utopianism, etc.)
>>2639049False & debunked. Althusser wrote a self-deprecating text while being institutionalized for
killing assisting his wife to death (as she has been wishing for a decade). Anyone who touches Althusser's texts immediately recognizes an exceptionally read comrade.
>>2639058Booklet
>>2639422Booklet
>>2639449>people with mental illnesses (such as depression) should refrain from writing theoryFYI Marx was depressed for the last 15yrs of his life. Engels talks about this extensively in his personal letters. You are a pseud and a fash.
>>2639464Is althusserism real
>>2639449>people with mental illnesses (such as depression) should refrain from writing theory, the mental illness colors and infuses their thinking with either schopenhauerian pessimism (depression), nietzschean sociopathy (personality disorders), or academic positivism (autists)This is retarded, psychiatry is a spook
>>2638910Do you want an actual study list?
>>2639457they don't, everyone is on social media, nobody knows who the ruling class is anymore

Sorry I'm too drunk to write the comprehensive list, but this serves as a very stronk medium-rate understantink of the topic at hand.
Tl;dr: the most disgusting thing for communists is to shit on persons/things/texts they have ZERO understanding of.
Althusser did nothing wronk, kys, etc.
Maybe you could convert incels to communism by telling them about Althusser and how he killed his wife
>>2639464marx's thought "matured" through his experience with concrete practics, not through some abstract, idealistic "epistemic break" from his past self
marx thought philosophy as obsolete, further marxist "philosophizing" is just a particular affliction of western academia, since their lack of actual revolutionary practice has them stuck in the 19th century
>>2639538Being French disqualifies him, being part of the PCF even more so
>>2639545>Le chauvinist anglo strikes again>>2639542Althusser explains EXACTLY how the epistemic break wasn't abstract, you retard booklet.
Kys, etc.
>>2639542>marx thought philosophy as obsoleteMeanwhile, in reality:
<Old ass Marx keeps recommending ppl to read Hegel in his lettersYou are a moron, a booklet, a pseud, and anti-illectual, which makes it VERY probable that you are an anglo.
>>2639550Ho Chi Minh already explained all the problems of the PCF, which is why he broke from them
>>2639551Intellectuals are whores and the priest caste of the capitalist order, burn every university, burn every library
>>2639555>tools are bourgeois<embrace handsPol Pot tier
>>2639554any links where I can find Ho criticizsing the PCF please?
>>2639551that's only because he never got around to formulating his materialist dialectic, so he advised that people just read the hegelian dialectic, and invert it like he did
but that's beside the point because the reason marx thought philosophy was obsolete is because IT WAS HEGEL WHO OBSOLETED IT
hegel ended philosophy by grounding truth in the concrete rather than abstract, in living process rather than abstract modeling
hegel killed philosophy, marx showed the next step: concrete social, political, economic practice as the method for realizing "truth"
>>2639581>that's only because he never got around to formulating his materialist dialectic, so he advised that people just read the hegelian dialectic, and invert it like he didWhich means you admit that Marx did not in fact "end" philosophy, you retarded drooling burger? Literally look at USSR academy courses or textbooks: they were waging the materialist war INSIDE philosophy, like Marx, Engels, Lenin, etc.
>but that's beside the point because the reason marx thought philosophy was obsolete is because IT WAS HEGEL WHO OBSOLETED ITIDIOITIC + IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
SCIENCE=NATURAL PHILOSOPHY
>Rest of the postPeak-pseudery
Reject anglo.
Roundhouse kick anglo children into ditches.
Forcefully reeducate anglo reactionaries.
Get rid completely of anglo """culture""" in 3 decades, tops.
>>2639601>SCIENCE=NATURAL PHILOSOPHYBoth are just impotent bifurcations of wissenschaft. Making such a distinction itself, and upholding the validity of either makes you a liberal.
There's no "philosophy", neither is there "science"
THERE IS ONLY CONCRETE POLITECONOMICAL, REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITY
>>2639606>There's no "philosophy", neither is there "science">THERE IS ONLY CONCRETE POLITECONOMICAL, REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITYVulgar materialist. I bet you a multipolaroid.
>>2639632you are not even an idealist
but rather, a dualist
tfu
>>2639506>>2639519>>2639532Thank you so much anon! I hope you have a good party :D
>>2638910Iirc his main idea is that history doesn't have a subject. In other words, the dialectic doesn't articulate itself around men and their conflicts, but rather evolves itself through institutions without men.
To give you an example, he believed that humans being alienated in their work for instance wouldn't be subject of dialectical progress, because it wasn't a structural contradiction that had to be negated.
However, the TRPF was a structural negation because capitalism relied at the same time on generating profits, which meant that when capitalism ran out of profit, it wouldn't be able to exist in its current form.
Imo he's somewhat right but he's too anti-humanist. For instance, I think that he's right that capitalism possesses its own contradictions separate from man. The previous example could serve as to explaining why we're slowly going back to a rent-based economy rather than a profit-based one. However, this forgets the purpose of revolutionary action; the point in the end _is_ to make society better for man, and not merely to advance the dialectic
but idk, I don't understand him very well.
>>2639477Take your meds, you dumb BPD bitch
althussy
Why did he kill his wife though
>>2640554OG leftypol user
>>2640567I think he would've posted here if he had grown up in this era. Just going by the fact that he didn't have sex till he was 29 or something.
