All this talk about “the liberal communists Bill Gates and George Soros” and how “the neoliberals are now more leninist than the Leninists” is getting increasingly :sus:

    Skimmed his book 'postcapitalist desire' he is explicitly an anticommunist. He refuses to use the word because of the 'unspeakable evils' of communism and extols the hippies.

      Might want to read and not just skim it then, his commentary on the cultural significance of hippies was enlightening to me.

      It's also not his book, but a collection of his lectures published post-humously.

      We probably shouldn't talk about how the hippies basically created Silicon Valley, a.k.a. probably the most insidious purveyor of capitalist realism on the planet.
