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:

    I'm intrigued, do you have a semi or non academic intro to Lacan? I can deal with some smarty pants words but not all of them so it doesn't have to be completely dumbed down.

    To me stuff like Lacan or Deleuze and similar stuff always seemed like impenetrable bloviating.

      Regrettably, I don't, at least not off the top of my head. I'll look into it this weekend and if someone else chimes in, go with them. The most basic way I can describe it is dialectical psychology, which you would think makes sense, and does, but also gives you an ideological vasectomy in the process (because it renders both you and itself impotent). It's alot like nihilism or absurdism with more steps.

      Lol, I don't know anything about Deleuze.
