    True to an extent for the academic tyoes who wanna oppose Marxism as a big brain philosopher

    Very true. F*** Foucault. It’s a reason the CIA was funding translations of his books

    This true. Foucault was literally being funded by the CIA

    Sartre such a weird person though, he was bourgeois to the core even though from his works he seemed to genuinely believed in Marxism (despite his insistence on attempting to synthesize existentialism and communism).

    His vocal support for the USSR to the point where him and Camus went from close friends to enemies was badass tbh

    yeah i know about the cia connections but i was wondering how his work defends capitalism im reading birth of biopolitics so i have a little bit of interest in his thought right now.

    Thought Sartre was more on the Mao side on the soviet sino split surprised to see he kept defending it no matter what

    French on French crime

    there was the first international split between the anarchist and marxist

    then the second internationalist vs the Bolsheviks

    then the sino-soviet split

    and finally the great french pedophile split

    I don't think Foucault necessarily defends capitalism he just rejected "grand narratives" and capitalism bad is a "grand narrative"

    There was a German anarchist/socialist fella and his philosophy was like "life is meaningless only death has any meaning" and then he just killed himself at age 31 or so, cool fella

    People say Debord killed himself because the SPECTACLE devoured his theory and turned him into a cliche

    good ass post glad you followed up on it

    seems like our initial impulses were right in the thread but its definitely useful to have the minutiae explained too

    Thanks. If yall wanna go deeper I recommend Bruce Cumings, Giovanni Arrighi, Ha Joon Chang, and Lee Wengraf
