1:27 the way we inject Eastern Marxism is by intellectuals first to learn from experiences outside Europe. The idea is that unless we struggle with everyone around the world, unless we realize that our struggles are intimately connected to the struggles of people in the global south, we are condemned to failure and, frankly irrelevance
1:20 the guy is very paternalistic. The level of Italian workers consciousness in the 1970ies and 80ies regarding the importance of solidarity and struggle alongside third world’s oppressed people, was very high and apparently more developed that this gentleman’s. Losurdo does not criticize workers but workerist intellectuals in the West
Oh... Oh... god damn it. 1:15:00. It hurts my soul. Great comment, great video... I actually need to read Losurdo because he's the hot shit in Marxism Leninism.
54:42 we have to recognize that THERE'S A FKN DIALECTICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MATERIAL AND THE IDEAL! The idea itself can only be the result of several stages of abstraction, and abstraction itself is only ever THE METAPHYSICAL/PHENOMENAL ASPECT/SYNTHESIS OF A DIALECTICAL PROCESS! Dialectically, every idea traces back to The Dialectical Material itself!
The other important aspect is to do away with Carlo Garrido’s purity fetish and anti statalism. Let’s learn from people that have lifted 800 million people out of poverty instead of feeling so damn superior all the time. Frankly some humility and willingness to learn

Does anyone have an opinion on Lewis Mumford's The Pentagon of Power, and his views of civilization and technics? Is there any utility there?

Whoever is not willing to talk about capitalism should also keep quiet about fascism. Horkheimer
If you have to focus on a low rez reading, it does say something about the level of substance to the claims
Or it says Losurdo didn't want to write a 5000 page book critiquing every brainchild of every thinker he discusses
So, is calling something anarchism, utopian, millinarianism, or ultra-leftism an argument? Or is that only appealing to someone already in agreement?
This is a discussion on Losurdo's book Western Marxism. Check there for the arguments.
