Irony is that critics often quote Marx’s “scientific socialism” against alienation while ignoring that Marx repeatedly describes capitalism as: - inverted - fetishized - mystified - autonomous - governed “behind the backs” of producers That is the mature theory of alienation.

@AinurIsLive @mcsquared34 next steps: >people dislike it, want to overthrow the government >government wants to keep in power, represses people >no one is allowed to be against the regime or those in power, if so, go to prison or get executed >repression everywhere, poverty skyrockets

inaccurate history of "the marxist canon" aside, this guy unironically believes marxism is a cult because people discovered something else marx wrote and decided it was important. this is the very serious word of a very serious economist who you should take very seriously
Phil Magness@PhilWMagness

This is how you know Marxism is a cult. Alienation was not even considered a major part of the Marxist canon until the 1930s when the 1844 Manuscripts and the Grundrisse were published. Marxists then elevated its importance to salvage Marx as his economic theories faltered.

@le_enemy_ @mcsquared34 What youre describing is capitalism with higher state power. Id advise actually studying communism to hate on it better.

@AinurIsLive @mcsquared34 simple: >people got resources >government takes resources from people >government "redistributes" it (gives the bare minimum to the people and keeps the rest for themselves) >people no longer want to work cause the government is taking everything >government forces people to work

The issue with ‘revisionism’ also isn’t contradicting the words of the dead; revisionism, falsification, modernization - whatever terms you want to use to name it - are all problematic because they involve arbitrarily inserting categories and pragmatic assumptions into marxism, which is a methodological error from the standpoint of our theory because every single concept and practice within marxism is derived from the systematic analysis/critique of capitalism. If we think back to Marx on ‘the method of political economy’, revisionism is comparable to the method of the vulgar economists who proceed from abstract-generalities and chain them together through simple observation and intuition. For marxists, by contrast, concrete analysis always proceeds from the standpoint of totality, and due to the continuous nature of the logic of capitalism across all parts of the world, communism (the movement to overcome capital) must also have determinations which reflect and evolve in parallel with it. No set of circumstances could make the proletariat anything but a global class because capitalism only has a global existence, and the organization of the working class as a revolutionary force depends on it outstripping the functional and territorial boundaries that are imposed upon it by capital. The individual nation-state is just one arena of the class struggle, and the proletariat can only win - in any case involving national limitations - if it tears down the walls and spreads to every stretch of the planet. This cannot be immediate, it will have its ebbs and flows, but this is the general and immutable position communists must take to be analytically grounded and practically consistent.

“…for Marx there are no social facts in themselves which can be apprehended through traditional disciplinary boundaries. The real ‘object of knowledge’ is the social phenomenon as a whole, hence capital as totality. But this latter must be understood not as if the empirically given conditions of production are the immediate object of knowledge. Rather, Marx proceeds through a criticism of bourgeois categories and theories. [33]Theory and its ‘objective’ content are related, but they are not one and the same. That’s why the method of inquiry is formally different from the method of presentation. The method of inquiry, Schmidt explains, deals with material from history, economics, sociology, statistics and so on, and through the ‘isolating’ and ‘analysing’ of understanding. The method of presentation, in contrast, has to bring concrete unity to these isolated data. ‘Exhibition’, following Hegel, proceeds from immediate ‘being’ to mediating ‘essence’, which is the ground of being. Essential reality must manifest itself phenomenally, but this concrete instantiation of essence is distinguished from its manifestation. Although even the most abstract categories have a historical determinate dimension, the logical course is different from, and even opposite to, the historical course. These issues are further developed by Schmidt in his History and Structure: For Hegel, as well as Marx, reality is a process: ‘negative’ totality. In Hegelianism, this process appears as a system of reason. That is as a closed ontology, from which human history sinks to the level of being its derivative, a mere instance of its application. By contrast, Marx emphasises the independence and the openness of historical development, which cannot be reduced to a speculative logic that all beings must forever obey. Hence ‘negativity’ comes to refer to something which is limited in time, while ‘totality’ implies the whole of the modern relations of production. [34] There is a gnoseological primacy of the logical moment over the historical: without a prior theoretical understanding of capital one would not know where to look for the historical presupposition of its birth. [35] But this does not make categories the existential ground of reality, as for Hegel. Rather, categories mediate reality in knowledge. However, this critique of Hegel does not cancel Marx’s debt to the Hegelian notion of ‘system’. The concrete is not what stands in front of human intellect, but a ‘unity of the manifold’, knowledge which, even though it has as its necessary basis in the analytical method, dialectically evades the dichotomy of the factual and the mental. Thus, Marx proceeds logically, and not historically, because the form of capital that he developed posits its own conditions of existence.” - Bellofiore & Riva, The Neue Marx-Lektüre
