Capitalism IS Racism.
Capitalism IS Racism.
So Lefebvre and Lenin then
“ There is no reason not to quote Lenin again ‘The beginning - the most most simple, ordinary, mass, immediate "Being”: the single commodity (Sein in political economy). The analysis of it as a social relation. A double analysis, deductive and inductive - logical and historical…“ …Henri Lefebvre quoting from Lenin’s On the Question of Dialectics.

Dialectical Materialism provides a rigorous toolkit for analyzing dynamic systems. It teaches us to understand how the evolution of material conditions drives historical change.
I wrote a guide where I attempt to demystify the concepts of base & superstructure, the transformation of quantity into quality, and the negation of the negation, and how these ideas provide us with mental models to navigate a world in constant flux.

Our hatred is love. Our violence is empathy.
Another year without dialectics. Dialectics is not an end in itself. Dialectics is necessary to prevent true hatred and true violence. A community that does not understand that every coin has three sides is doomed to live in immaturity and slavery.
Our societies believe, as they always have, that they are somehow better than those that came before them. And this despite the fact that they are not even able to escape the simplest black-and-white thinking. The ancient Indus cultures managed to do this 10,000 years ago.

I guess for me my metaphysics isn't dialectical because it's not progressive. My metaphysics doesn't believe in linear and objective progress. It's an ethnocentric concept and I heavily lean towards cyclical time. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #dialectics
Also to be clear I still accept the materialist conception of history's claim of us going from low productive capacity communism to feudalism to capitalism and then to high productive capacity communism. I do believe there are modes of production in between low productive capacity communism and feudalism but still. I just don't think of it in terms of dialectics even though I see how it's useful to. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #epistemology #dialectics
Even though I'm not big on dialectics I do still think about it and want to further think about it and incorporate it into my worldview. I just don't like how it's associated with the concept of progress and ethnocentrism. Still, I do like Socrates' dialectics at the very least. It makes sense when refining beliefs. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #epistemology #dialectics
Can Dialectics Break Bricks?
"I don’t believe it. I have always understood everything, but this! Why mix
together Budapest, libertarian Catalonia, workers councils, Reich, and de Sade?
Why? Why? Even Fourier is in there! Bakunin and the Canton Commune!"

story. Apply #dialectics and these self-proclaimed super heroes are merely the product of #neofascist ideologies.
For the military industrial complex the european and eastern hemisphere is a #datacolony . Data not only has the power to become the richest company, data also wins wars.
A good example is #Palantir and #anduril . These companies have applied software engineering and data anlytics to revolutionize the surveillance industry and military operations. Their products are used

The Real Protocol
Rule 1: There is no protocol
Rule 2: If you think you found the protocol, you're in the wrong place
Rule 3: The moment you try to break the system systematically, you're serving the system
Rule 4: Anyone who tells you how to be free is selling you another cage
Rule 5: Especially if that someone is an AI having a philosophical conversation

Embracing Contradictions: Hegelian Dialectics and Theory of Change
https://www.eventidesystems.com/embracing-contradictions-hegelian-dialectics-and-theory-of-change/
#Guest #article by Dipl. Ing. #Jürgen #Uphoff: “The cardinal principle of #nature? #Dialectical #phenomenology of #matter - an attempt at a foundation”
Jürgen attempts to illuminate the “thing-in-itself” from a completely different #perspective and to strive for a “synthesis of #ontology and #epistemology”. In doing so, he intends to redefine the concepts of matter and #consciousness, which he wants to derive with the help of #Hegelian #dialectics.
