This is one of those films where you want to take notes while watching. Like having a professor giving a lecture in your living room, in a good kind of way. I’m on my second watching today, just trying to pick up all the nuance. #philosophy #ideology #movies #film #propaganda #marxism #fascism #capitalism

If you haven’t seen The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology (Zeitgeist Films), I highly recommend. This is philosopher/psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek’s thesis about the nature of ideology, how it defines the very shape of our dreams, how we are subsumed in its matrix. Director Sophie Fiennes places Žižek in scenes of the movies he is critiquing, lending a surreality to the monologue. We open in “They Live”, an under-appreciated John Carpenter movie from 1988. Roddy Piper plays “Nada”, a construction worker down on his luck in the 80’s. We cut right to the chase, where Roddy is begging his friend to put on these mysterious sunglasses right now, or else eat from the trashcan. The sunglasses are anti-ideological glasses that let you see through the underlying conceits in society, and the nature of the body snatching aliens who have replaced humans and seek to control them. The whole movie is a commentary on consumerism and individualism as tools to keep people asleep and under control. But his friend refuses, has a bloody fight even, to avoid having his precious illusion shattered.

“I already am eating from the trashcan all the time. The name of this trashcan is “ideology”. The material force of ideology makes me not see what I am effectively eating. It’s not only our reality which enslaves us. The tragedy of our predicament when we are within ideology, is that when we think that we escape it into our dreams, at that point, we are within ideology.”

"Workers have not freely chosen to sacrifice or compress their leisure time; their leisure time has been sacrificed and compressed because capitalist production increasingly dominates their lives."

Marx coined this phrase in The German Ideology (1845) to describe communist life.

"Its cookie-cutter marxism... this perverse way in which human agency and labor is externalized, alienated and therefore appears to us as this oppressive, unpredictable force." (in the last 10 min)

Marx, women, historical materialism, and the danger of reading historical texts in isolation.

Marx contre l’économie politique : penser la surplus-value au-delà de ses formes
Marx reproche aux économistes classiques de confondre l’essence et ses apparences : ils analysent profit, rente ou intérêt sans remonter à leur source commune, la surplus-value. Autrement dit, ils décrivent la distribution sans penser la production — et naturalisent ainsi l’exploitation. #Marxism #SurplusValue #Capitalism #Economics La critique adressée par Marx à l’économie politique…

Politisk ordlista: Varans dubbelnatur
Varans dubbelnatur. nominalfras.
Marx’ benämning på att varor i ett kapitalistiskt samhälle har två egenskaper, som ofta står i konflikt med varandra: bruksvärde och bytesvärde.
Se även: bruksvärde, bytesvärde, varufetischism.Bruksvärde. substantiv. -t, -n
Varans förmåga att tillfredsställa ett mänskligt eller socialt behov. En socialistisk ekonomi prioriterar bruksvärdet över bytesvärdet.
Se även: nytta, livsmedels smak och näringsinnehåll, klädesplaggs kvalitet och snitt, mobilers hållbarhet, skolors förmåga att ge elever kunskap, att sociala medier visar dina vänner hellre än reklam.Bytesvärde. substantiv. -t, -n
#marxism
Det pris som en vara kan inhämta på en marknad, mätt i pengar. I en kapitalisk ekonomi produceras varor för deras bytesvärde, på bekostnad av deras bruksvärde.
Se även: kalhyggen, snabbt mode, enshittification, planerat åldrande, nätläkare, privata skolor, snabbmat, investeringar i fossila bränslen. -
AI from a Marxist Point of View
3 years ago I wrote »The imminent AI Revolution from a Marxist Point of View«. An eternity when we look at the rapid development of AI. So where are we now? What do we do? What are our political demands?

Started reading "Understanding Marxism" by Richard Wolff.
A short but very accessible explanation of the problems Karl Marx saw within the capitalist system.

On the fantastic @standardebooks website – which takes public domain books from Project Gutenberg and reformats them from pretty bad files actually (sorry, Gutenberg, I love you, but you know it's true) into fantastic high quality ebooks – The Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels is a more popular download than Dracula and Moby Dick!
Also, the ongoing The Odyssey fever has not skyrocket the book to the top

Le marxisme comme outil de survie
À l’heure du biocide programmé par l’économie fossile, le marxisme ne sert plus seulement à expliquer le capitalisme : il aide à comprendre comment un système organisé par l’accumulation menace les conditions mêmes de la vie. D’où l’urgence d’une décroissance politique. #Marxism #Degrowth #ClimateCrisis #AntiCapitalism Engels écrivait que l’économie n'est pas l’élément “ultimement déterminant” de l’histoire. Aujourd’hui, cette formule…

Décroissance et marxisme : incompatibles ou enfin réconciliables ?
La décroissance n’est pas forcément un mot de pénurie : elle peut aussi devenir le nom d’une rupture avec l’accumulation capitaliste. Encore faut-il qu’elle ne se réduise pas à une austérité mal répartie, mais qu’elle s’inscrive dans un projet d’émancipation collective. #degrowth #marxism #communism #politics #capitalism La question n’est pas de savoir si le marxisme doit “ajouter” la décroissance comme…

Industrial capitalism exploited workers' bodies. Platform capitalism commodifies their attention. Different technologies, same system—profit built on human exploitation. The struggle for workers' liberation must also challenge surveillance, algorithmic control, and digital monopolies.

Seize The Means Street explains Antonio Gramsci, cultural hegemony and war of opposition.
If you’re like me, you love muppets and yearn for at least a little socialism (please), you’ll love this! ❤️

Una de las más comunes referencias al concepto de adaptación tiene su origen en los estudios de Darwin. Pero hay una malinterpretación común (y muy perversa) de la teoría evolutiva que se presenta comúnmente en ideas meritocráticas del orden de «la ley del más fuerte».
