@VenturCommunist He's not

I don’t find Bogdanov interesting at all

@MysticZazou @nyreviewofarch what’s your issue with them

@gruidae_james They certainly weren't Trotskyists but Greene and Fluss seem to ignore how impressed Adorno and Horkheimer were with Trotsky as an historical figure, and generally mistrusted Stalin. They read The Revolution Betrayed with great interest. Trotsky even showed up in Adorno's dreams.

@DevinGoure you're not missing anything

So I unblocked this guy because some people said he’s worth taking seriously but he seems like a total idiot? Am I missing something? Is he doing some kind of performance art?

@AnthonyM57412 The bourgeois political philosophers were haunted by their memory, certainly.

@rosswolfe The Guelphs and Ghibellines probably deserve space, both as particular historical party forms and as an important reference for the later Italian elitists as well as Gramsci.

After the marches today, the @ILCofNYC is holding its second annual May Day chili cookoff at the new @woodbinenyc space in Chinatown at 7pm. Free food, but BYOB. Karaoke afterwards.

Finally, Costanzaization brings us a review of Rachel Kushner’s Creation Lake and reprises its major themes for the reader: “There is much to unpack in Creation Lake’s 400 pages. Just as Bruno looks to the past for clues about the future, Creation Lake contemplates the ashes of the milieu that produced The Call and The Coming Insurrection, leaving us to question whether we can indeed leave this world behind.”

@amgittlitz let’s do it

@rosswolfe yes

Anyone in NYC want to reread—or read, if you haven't before—the "Odysseus or Myth and Enlightenment" excursus from Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment, in anticipation of Christopher Nolan's (probably terrible) movie adaptation of the Odyssey?
