    Spinoza was really the GOAT. His approach to philosophy was an ideal bridge for the mystical to develop into the rational. Spinoza had a highly natural/materialist view of "God" to the point where his contemporaries mislabeled him as an atheist. Truly an inspiring philosopher then and now. I love the Hegel and Einstein quotes about him as well

    ¡Por fin se dio el momento de Latinoamérica en El Desprograma!
    This was a very special episode to me, as a Dominican Marxist (living in one of the most right-wing and politically isolated Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, but also having studied in northern Mexico where Ruzzarin currently lives) because I could relate a lot with what Ruzzarín explained. I've already had the pleasure of knowing about his content since 2021 (thanks to lots of my university friends, some of which studied or are currently studying with him on his post-doctorate), and despite my general divergences with his ecclectic and heterodox ideological positions (especially regarding the influences postmodernist authors and the red-brown _"Gustavo Bueno's philosophical materialism"_ school of Santiago Armesilla have had on him lately), I think his analisis of Latin American politics and the strategy to the future was generally correct.
    I also appreciate a lot the interpellation you guys did (especially Hakim and Yugopnik) when Ruzzarin's more "academicist" side appeared in the conversation (he suffers a lot from that in his videos but at least he's humble enough to recognize it from time to time), I think the direction you gave to the conversation helped bringing the best out of him. Nothing but respects for all of you.
    P.S.: Just in case people don't know, Diego Ruzzarin is a bourgeois (he has quite a few enterprises and investments). Yet his allignment with Marxist and left-wing politics is very intriguing, in a good way.

      Lo dicho hermano muy buen comentario. Eso de que Ruzzarin es un burgués pues siento que somos mas los burgueses los que tenemos la oportunidad de estar expuestos a estas ideas y estos pensadores. Cómo bien lo explica él mismo en uno de sus videos, cuanto puede aprender alguien que constantemente está en conflicto en su casa o que constantemente tiene hambre. Nos toca a nosotros hacer causa común con los trabajadores que al fin también lo somos y más nos vale darnos cuenta por que muchos estamos a una tragedia, un accidente, una enfermedad o un capricho del destino de ser pobres también. Sólo que muchos no lo aceptamos. De verdad ayudar a mejorar las condiciones del prójimo es ayudarnos a nosotros mismos por que nunca sabemos cuándo nosotros mismos estaremos en sus zapatos. Saludos!

      @@luzbella3242 Efectivamente. El mismo Lenin reconoce en su _"¿Qué Hacer?"_ que la consciencia de clase más elevada no le viene al proletario obrero industrial de su propia experiencia laboral o de vida, sino que le es introducida de manera "externa" por elementos de otra clase, la intelectualidad (sea burguesa, pequeñoburguesa o, en ocasiones menos comunes, también proletarias). Y si miramos a los grandes líderes revolucionarios (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Fidel, el Che, Ho Chi Minh...) una parte muy considerable de ellos han venido de familias acomodadas de la baja nobleza (Lenin), terratenientes (Fidel, Ho Chi Minh) o burguesas (Engels, Marx, el Che).
      Lo que no deja de ser una sorpresa interesante es que esos hombres y mujeres se atrevan a ir contra sus propios intereses materiales, y hacerse "traidores de clase", para defender una verdad histórica. En ese sentido el aprecio hacia Ruzzarín adquiere otro matiz (con todas las divergencias y críticas que pudiera tener hacia su ideología ecléctica y heterodoxa).

    • @luzbella3242

      Bueno sí. Tienes razón. A lo mejor lo sorprendente es que lo vocalicen. Por que si creo que hay muchos en su misma esfera material que lo piensan aunque no lo digan o que lo dicen sólo a puerta cerrada. Mientras hay otros que se dan cuenta de lo cerca que están de la precariedad pero no saben cómo expresarlo y menos que hacer para evitarlo. Pero de alguna manera lo sienten. Pir mi profesión y por mi condición familiar me muevo en un extraño espacio entre la clase trabajadora y la clase media alta a alta. La tensión de las clases altas se nota aunque no lo expresen. Muchos, creo que si se permitieran entrar en contacto e interactuar con estas ideas estarían de acuerdo o ya lo están sin saberlo conscientemente. Como sea es bueno que alguien de su condición material lo exprese por que es más difícil para las clases capitalistas tratar de deslegitimizarlo llamándole como nos llaman envidiosos y demás

    This one is so complex - to learn about the abstract philosophical underpinnings seems so unproductive, it seems like we should focus on getting out and doing things, but it makes sense - the left only exists when people are theoretically well-versed - otherwise, you'll just get people who are well-meaning, but still sucked into the liberalism of our era, because they're not thinking deeply about the underpinnings of reality, and going deeper into philosophy from there could give all of us even more insights. Of course, that sounds strange to a lot of people, the people who are already well-versed and have taken years and decades to contumplate, read all these figures, and get deeper into thought, and because this is a weak connection that the Deprogram has brought to us this man who has gotten much deeper into the philosophies than I have as of yet. It makes sense, though - I talk with a lot of people, and the average person is a liberal in this era and place, and they have really bad understanding of really basic things, like not understanding the government is not really working for you, but instead (ultimately, after a lot of layers and nuance) for capital, or why political parties are making things worse, or even worse than that, when people get conservative thoughts and they are actively part of the aggressors, rather than just passively. So, this might be super important to dive into this philosophy, as I might be that ignorant about a lot of my thoughts about the world, as ignorant as I understand these people to be now that I've started to understand more things. Thank you very much

      @kerkoubmohamedlemine4079 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Couldn’t agree more. I truly believe that going back to the philosophical fundamentals is immensely important in giving substance and direction to any movement, no matter how modest. The further you go into the most basic principles(for example: What is Freedom?), the more you improve your understanding of the Ideology. This ultimately allows one to clearly distinguish proper Leftism from the common Liberalism but also makes the study of adversary movements such as Fascism much more accurate and pertinent.

    • @blessedandbiwithahintofmagic
      @blessedandbiwithahintofmagic ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@kerkoubmohamedlemine4079 Yes, that is very true. A lot of liberals are well meaning, even can get these big movements going, and really are convinced that they are in just fights - and, I don't want to disparage people's work, as a lot of this does get people to start getting deeper and push leftward, but you can really position yourself a lot better from the start if you really get into the fundmentals, as you've said. (And to get back to the liberal point, anyone who is going to make truly astounding plays has to break out of thinking of their era, and in this era, that means you have to get to socialist or leftward to truly change things - I really do believe that you would just naturally have to become a leftist, even if you don't recognize that, that there is no way around it.) You get going, and you start realizing how flawed your conception was, and that, of course, is because of deliberate manipulation - you just rip apart all of these ideas like of patriotism (which you would have given to a nation of capital that is not your nation) or of debt (which, in reality, corporations often do not have to pay, they don't act responsibly, because this is their system), you inevitably want to learn more and you start ripping apart all of these institutions, reading Lenin and Graeber and all these figures, and you do fundantally transition in this sort of graduated equilbrium, in all sorts of ways, and, the better you do it, the more you change, and even the more you become yourself and don't change, oddly.

    • @Ajente02
      @Ajente02 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It comes from a Spanish philosopher, called Gustavo Bueno, who did a weird lecture of Marx and created his own interpretation of the historical dialectics he called _"philosophical materialism"._ In his book _"El Mito de la Izquierda" ("The Myth of the Left"),_ he classifies all the historical leftist movements in 7 types:
      *1) The Radical Left (Jacobinism):* emerged from the French Revolution (1789-1815) and had its main political project in the establishment of representative republicanism and the political nation.
      *2) The Liberal Left (Spanish Liberalism):* energed from the Spanish War of Independence (1808-1814) and had its main political project in the Cadiz Constitution and the establishment of the Hispanic American independentist republicanism movements.
      *3) The Libertarian Left (Anarchism):* emerged from the First International (1864-1871) and had its main political project in the works of Proudhon (mutualism), Bakunin (collectivist anarchism), and Kropotkin (communist anarchism).
      *4) The Socialist Democratic Left (Social Democracy):* emerged from the Second International (1889-1914) and has its main political project in the welfare state.
      *5) The Communist Left (Marxism-Leninism):* emerged from the Russian Revolution (1917) and the Third International (1919) and had its main political project in the dictatorship of the proletariat.
      *6) The Asiatic Left (Maoism):* emerged from the Chinese Revolution (1949) and has its main political project in the new-democratic alliance between the peasantry and the national bourgeoisie with the proletariat.
      The number *7)* is called by Gustavo Bueno and his followers *Undefined Left* because, while the other six types had a very defined political project and clear objectives, this type of "leftists" (if they're even allowed to be called "left" to be honest) only adhere to vague conceptions of left-wing aesthetic, sociocultural, academic, or moral values, and have no universal concrete/particular political goal in mind.
      I personally disagree with Gustavo Bueno, his thought school, and all this classification in many aspects, but would be too long to explain here.

      @@typha You could've had easily found them, but obviously you would've needed to search in Spanish (Gustavo Bueno's writtings are very fringe and almost unknown outside of Spain). Santiago Armesilla, a quite well-known "Gustavo-Buenist", has a TH-cam channel where he explains in great detail the 7 types of leftist movements (as well as their right-wing counterparts).
      My main disagreements with the classification are the inclusion of Jacobinism and Spanish Liberalism within the left (they're centrist positions, or even center-right, at least by today's standards), the separation of Maoism from Marxism as if they were two different things, and the very concept of _"Undefined Left"_ (which is just another way, kind of despective in my opinion, to call progressive liberals and socialdemocrats - already included in 1st, 2nd, and 4th type).

    One clarification on what our fantastic comrade Diego said today (and I'm sure he was implying something similar to this even in his comment) : History does not exactly flow forward, to be inherently better. We all know the thing about neolithic peoples being happier and then agriculture came in, but I don't mean that concept - I mean that liberties and rights, the ability to live your life freely, and to be free of other people's oppressions in any way (including things like freedom from coercision, freedom from prejudice, acceptance, ability to be able to get enough resources to live freely), (and my apologies for this being an a Usonian-centric, Far-Westerners-centric example) in the lands that would be the US, in 1750, if you were gay, theoretically, you could be executed - in reality, that really never happened. There are documented examples of ladies living together, effectively being married lesbian couples, being created as a couple, you could even get a little business setup and earn money through the cottage production system, right up into mid-1800s. In 1950, it was open-season on you - you could be thrown in prison for decades for being gay. The history of African Americans is just filled with ups and downs since emancipation - communities start making a little money, get crushed to stop their economic power from building up. You get things getting better, you get the Civil Rights times, boom, War on Drugs, mass-incarceration. For people in mental institutions, de-institutionalization is a wonderful thing, and the best ways to go are to get people in communities, and have a society that looks out for them, regardless of who they are (which, of course, takes solidarity across to all people, liberation from prejudice which inevitably takes socialism). De-institutionalization happens during the French Revolution, things get better, then it all starts back up and the asylums are just as bad. De-institutionization happens in the US, and then mass-incarceration hits people with mental diseases just like it hits most all other groups that those in power (being capital in a capitalist society) needs to keep down.
    History is not a process of getting better - it's not something you get to go back to brunch on - we have to fight, and we have to fight forever. I have learned this from just a handful of sources, from my United States university courses (IE not radical sources at all), news, just open history we all can get - and yet I found and know massive amounts of oppression, fights for liberation, and push-back against those gains in freedom. If I know this, as little as I know, that means there is massssssively more of this, and that it's a general pattern in history - history doesn't just get better, it's more like a sinosodial-ish wave - it goes up and down, and this one, if no one fights, it just keeps going down, getting worse and worse, not better, with time. Even in socialist revolutions we have lose things, from the Soviets who went from a nation where it was not illegal to be gay, and one that was pushing to take down capitalism, to the 1970s where there is now a much worse set of ideals running in a society that was fine keeping peace with capitalism, and was bound to be destroyed. We all know this - we even know of powers we call counter-revolutionary. You see gains in Chile, with real strides towards socialism, with a government in place, then counter-revolutionary forces, namely pushed by the US, and then Franco is in power, and the nation goes from a hotbed of socialism to a fascist dictatorship. Everyone, please remember, history does not move forward - that is only, mainly, when we take action that can happen, that we can make things better, and not many other ways can things get better, unless we fight.

      Marx and Engels usually described history, in a very famous Hegelian figure, not like a rect line, but like an upward spiral. It sometimes goes up and down, it zig-zags between progress and reaction, but with a general tendency forward. That process wasn't mechanical, though: social classes were the conscious actos in that movement happening in the first place. And it wasn't a fatalist direction either: history could perfectly lead society into it's own degeneration or even extinction (as the aphorism "Socialism or Barbarism" perfectly explains).

      especially since post-modernism by its nature rejects the sort of "history moves in a certain direction" ideas found in marxism.

      @@winsonzhu4427 Yeah, basically the last one thing you mentioned. Even if you stretch the concept of "Marxism" to include some writters from the Frankfurt school like Adorno, Marcuse, or Horkheimer (the ones who originally called themselves "Neomarxists"), they were still operating under a modernist paradigm - even when their ideological developments became incompatible with the principles of Marxism, just like in the case of other authors like Toni Negri and Michael Hardt ("Post-Marxists").
      Also, we must remember those thinkers were an extremely fringe part of their respective academic ecosystems (which are, at the same time, extremely fringe parts of their respective societies). Neither the "Neo-Marxist" Frankfurt school, nor the Post-Marxist autonomism of Toni Negri, were in any moment the hegemonic or dominant currents of their academic ecosystems, furtherless of any impact outside of them (not even mentioning the workers' movement, who barely know about them in the first place).

    1) 6:40 I don't think Classical music is bourgeois... it does give people an excuse to indulge in bourgeois prejudices but the music itself is not bourgeois.
    Most classical music pieces (and some opera) have enjoyed a long, healthy life in the public domain. And which entertainment medium popularized for most of the younger generations? Cartoons. Classical music has been able maintain it's relevance over the years almost exclusively as set dressing for cartoons, especially Looney Tunes & Tom and Jerry.
    What shorts are usually considered the best cartoon shorts of all time?
    The Cat Concerto
    What's Opera, Doc?
    Pigs in a Polka
    The Rabbit of Seville
    Long Haired Hare
    A Corny Concerto
    Classical pianist Lang Lang said he became a musician after seeing The Cat Concerto, hell even I admit that was one of the reasons I started playing piano as well... but I digress. I will die on this hill before I let some reactionary hack try and claim classical music for the bourgeoisie.
    2) I remember in my senior year of high school, my younger friends would always harp on me for wearing blazers and dress shirts to school... little did I know that I was a pioneer in hipster couture. Lucky me...
    All jokes aside, I would wear blazers, button-ups, and eventually bow ties for a long time. It all started when I went as The Penguin for Halloween in high school. The bow tie made into my wardrobe in a similar way, I went as the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) for Halloween in college. My profile picture is actually of me in my Halloween costume in 2014. I would still wear all the stuff I did in college if I didn't gain so much weight over the last ten years.
    I won't lie though... I thought I looked damn good. I'd wear dress shirts open with a solid color t-shirt underneath, I started getting polarizing film on my glasses, I had a couple of nice leather jackets too. Had I not absolutely bottomed out mentally at the time I would've been unstoppable. lol

      The very fact it is called "Classical" music is because it's elevated liberalist bourgeois nonsense in the minds of many. It as a name doesn't give you any utility as to what kind of music it is! Genres of music are usually descriptions or some kind of onomatopoeia. EDM, Hip Hop, Rock n Roll, Jazz, etc.
      Classical Music as actual music is not bourgeois, but it's elevation, naming, and framing mostly are. It's elevation to 'mythical' status amongst other Genres lends itself to that.

      I want to strip music of its classist tendencies so it can be enjoyed by all without any sense of alienation. That in now way means I want to ignore how it's been used within the history of imperialism to subjugate other cultures.
