The Adventures of Marx and Engels, #16

The Adventures of Marx and Engels, #15

(note: this is the actual opening sentence of the first english translation of The Communist Manifesto!)

This is what happens when I try to distract myself from the essay I should write

The Adventures of Marx and Engels, #14

The Adventures of Marx and Engels, #12

I just came up with the perfect premise for a Star Trek episode

“It is not that capitalism and communism are ‘metaphysically the same’, both expressions of instrumental reason, of the rule of labour, and so on; it is rather that, in the concrete totality of today’s global society, capitalism is the determining factor, so that even its historically specific negation in ‘Really Existing Socialism’ is part of the properly capitalist dynamic. That is to say, whence comes the Stalinist drive-to-expand, the incessant push to increase productivity, to further ‘develop’ the scope and quality of production? Here we should correct Heidegger: it comes not from some general will-to-power or will-to-technological-domination, but from the inherent structure of capitalist reproduction which can survive only through its incessant expansion and for which this ever-expanding reproduction, not some final state, is itself the only true goal of the entire movement.”

I am rebbloging myself here because I completely forgot about this:

Here is another picture of me as a child. Looking pretty serious, presumably analyzing if the smurf village is a successful communist society, or something to that effect.
