  • My conclusion after being radicalised in a student union (in France for context) is that generally speaking, students are doomers at best and arrogant petit bourgeois pricks at worse. There was a time where a lot of students could get political education with the youth wings of parties, but this time is mostly over thanks to the revisionists who were incapable of listening and build mutual trust with the youth.

    I don’t believe in “generation war” per say but if there’s one little bit of truth to it is that if you’re not consciously radically open to the novelty that younger ones bring then the revolutionary potential is hard reset and you’re back to square one




  • It’s a wierd take, I’ve never seen class reductionism defined like that.

    They properly understood the battles for racial and gender equality as constitutive elements of struggle for the working class

    Yeah that’s right, but who is calling this class reductionism ? If anything it’s an intersectional analysis at its core, understanding the intersection between class and other conditions.

    I’ve always seen class reductionism defined as an attempt to diminish the importance of those struggle, while here the author implies that Marxism fully incorporating those struggle is the thing they call class reductionism?

    I think they are good faith and got gaslit by the strategy of dirty words that liberalism relied upon for decades. He must have came across a lib saying that any attempt to build solidarity of all struggles by using class analysis is “reductionism” in order to use the rightful bad connotation of the word to smear a deeply progressive and revolutionary concept.













  • The power of propaganda under liberalism is how it absorbs critics rather than rejecting them

    People start saying that the media is lying and unreliable? They created the notion of media bubble? Ok that could be bad except if you spread it hard enough through the same media that lies and distorts everything.

    Then most people hear about media criticism and get a completely wrong approach that serves the media. They are taught that being critical is asking if the article from a reputable source, and then define reputable source by “the biggest media conglomerate that isn’t explicitly conservative”. Boom. Now people are even more trustful of mass media because even the “criticizing” part is in fact about trusting them
