    Aru, what ye talkin' about?

  • How do YOU apply dialectics to broader analysis of society, theory or in practice?

    I think I understand the simple model of base and superstructure (but that was Gramsci's model)

    The simple use of quantitative to qualitative change, and vice versa

    The simple fact that contradictions can exist in a society, manifesting in the form of problems, which are symptoms of its economic systems...

    I don't think its about thesis + anti-thesis -> synthesis necessarily, as the model shows...

    I think its about one economic class, like capitalist to feudal lord, dominating over one class, and absorbing its birthmark attributes, before surpassing its birthmarks overall...

    Or as if a capitalist upon its created proletariat, not only ruling over them, but co-opting or destroying any of its measures

    To me, its about who the ruling most HEGEMONIC class is, and how it operates...

    Other than that, I don't know how else to apply it, let alone know if its somewhat broadly accurate....

    Correct me if I'm wrong, if not elaborate on what ye mean?

    Age is on my mind.

    From 0-45 years of age, I consider anything that qualifies in that, young...

    Further from that, and you're very old...

    Other than that, it's funny to think that:

    one, the leading figures of the counterculture were born from the Silent Generation (1928-1944), rather than the Baby Boomers (1945-1965).

    i.e. Abbie Hoffman and Bobby Seale, born in 1936

    Jerry Rubin, born in 1938

    two, anyone I've known that was born in the 1970s, will soon be beyond over 45 years of age...

    lastly, it's 2024, more than 20 years after the 2000s...

    P.S I'm not that old, I'm just thinking of the timelines, yk...

    Why is it that approval ratings aren't used as the method of electing politicians?

    It's just a simple yes or no, whether you think at least one or more of the candidates on your ballot list shares a lot of your concerns, beliefs, et values to at least vote for them

    If you don't approve any of them, just don't mark them, and write down "I don't like any of these candidates" as a reason

    I don't like "first past the post" for this reason... it just perpetuates the idea of "spoiled" votes...

    "Everyone is NOT equally vulnerable to propaganda" a part 2 to another Hexbear's post
    redsails.org Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of “Brainwashing”

    I’ve become very skeptical of the concept of “brainwashing.” Over the past few months this skepticism has boiled over into open and explicit disagreement with even well-meaning pushers within the Marxist-Leninist corner. I often find it difficult to explain concisely why it is…

    Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of “Brainwashing”

    So I've heard of a previous post from which reminded me of this article from Red Sails...

    So far, only a few people have mentioned Red Sails in that previous post, though with a different, but relevant article, but none have mentioned there its most famous article "Masses, Elites, and Rebels"

    (Note: this has been posted a bunch of times on this community, you better read it, it's a short one)

    I will let a few excerpts speak for themselves

    >“Brainwashing” as a political theory breaks society down into three mutually-exclusive camps: 1) a group of elite manipulators, 2) vast masses under their control, 3) a rebellious group of enlightened critics (to which the person launching the accusation of “brainwashing” implicitly always belongs, since they are neither unaware of it nor abetting it). An unstated premise of this political theory is that what determines which of these camps any individual belongs to is a mixture of intellectual enlightenment and moral purity.

    {...}

    > I am going to argue that this narrative is nonsense. It tries to pass off as universal and eternal something that in reality is particular and ephemeral. In short: Westerners aren’t helpless innocents whose minds are injected with atrocity propaganda, science fiction-style; they’re generally smug bourgeois proletarians who intelligently seek out as much racist propaganda as they can get their hands on.

    {...}

    >The prevailing populist narrative grants the People (of the West) moral innocence by attributing to them utter stupidity and naivety; I invert the equation and demand a Marxist narrative instead: Westerners are willingly complicit in crimes because they instinctively and correctly understand that they benefit as a class (as a global bourgeois proletariat) from the exploitation enabled by their military and their propaganda — organs of coercion and consent. [6] We’re not as stupid as we’re made out to be. This means that we can be reasoned with, that there is a way out.

    Admittedly I am !smuglord about this....

    But pls, make this a primer on the side bar of this comm, many ppl need to see this
