Well Marx already has the formulation of "capitalism creates its own gravediggers" which is his idea that the material conditions created by capitalism create individuals who are committed to overthrow it, and so the challenge historically is how to get these people all pulling the same correct direction, and once you do, how do you keep it from breaking apart or giving into reformism or whatever.

But there's something about the way it is framed? Those of us who want to see capitalism overthrown are able to read something more abstract into it, but the metaphor persists more or less intact. The brutality of it never gives way to the truth that we read into it. So in that way when we accept the truth there is violence that hitches a ride in our reasoning. How far are we then from Bordiga's formulation of "Socialism and Barbarism"? Idk. Everyone knows that quote, but people don't know about Matewan, or the American Strike waves of 1932, or Burkina Faso, or Pancho Villa.

In short, is what we are learning and repeating educational in a revolutionary way? After all, as Paulo Friere said, "When education isn't liberating it is the dream of the oppressed to become the oppressor."

That's my favorite part of the movie, Krishna is in the office about to gun down Jesus, when Buddha kicks down the door and is like "Life is suffering, prepare to live!" And then shoots all the mobsters with a drum loaded Thompson machine gun, before killing Krishna and saving Jesus. And then the sex scene is so passionate

I don't know there are these ideas get stuck in our head and we just assume they are true for some reason. This "the capitalist will sell us the rope we will use to hang him" is prolific, its everywhere and one has to wonder why. There's no truth in it. People would attribute it to Marx too but Marx would never say that. I think its a cultural relic that serves to make communism sound badass and scary. But hanging capitalists will not put the world on the path to socialism, if anything the opposite must be true.

Lenin never said it either

Kruschev didn't say that

Just have to shift from disposable mace, a spray can full of pepper spray; to a reusable mace, a long ass handle with a big fuck off spikey ball at the end

What does this mean though?

Hmmmmmm

Videodrome. Watched it few years ago and started strongly recalling watching certain scenes. 20 minutes in I was like oh wow I've seen this before, but by the time James woods was doing bdsm with a debbie harry television, I was like "who let me watch this?"

It explains a lot, honestly

Its not easy to get diagnosed but you might want to look it up. My daughter discovered she has it and its been a journey to try and find treatment. But it read like a laundry list of all of these issues she had struggled with her whole life: hyper flexibility, migraines, stomach problems, difficulty gaining weight, etc., it does come with certain heart risks so its not just a live with it in discomfort sort of thing. Its worthwhile to look it up and advocate for yourself if you think you or someone else might.
