I'm going to
I'm Ed Gentry, that's what I like to see.
10.
We're grabbing it up.
We can't true. We can't be a cult without the money guys
come on we got to crab it up otherwise we're not going to be a cult welcome uh how do you guys Welcome.
How do you guys like my setup?
How do you like it? All I did is just shift my desk.
Dastard, what's up, bro? Appreciate you.
And I know you guys don't like me looking in that direction.
I look in this direction.
We're good.
Everything's good. me looking in that direction i look in this direction we're good everything's good be looking in this direction what's up y'all be looking in this direction you're looking in this
direction because i just want to dance
what's going on guys uh okay so there's a lot
actually a lot i wanted to discuss tonight.
Some of it has to do with my video with Carlos
recently, and that's generated some controversy.
Ilya, what's up with the five, bro?
Appreciate you.
Phil.
Phil, what's going on, bro?
But Phil, come on, man.
Phil has donated so much.
It's crazy.
Bill, you've been scammed enough, man.
You can take a break.
Appreciate you, brother.
Um...
Yeah, I wanted to talk about that.
That wasn't the main headline, actually.
I wanted to talk about a lot of other things.
And we'll still get to those, but I, the reason I'm streaming so late is because there's somebody that I was arguing with in Discord for like the past two hours.
And they actually want to debate.
And I think this is somebody who is one of us who has taken the black pill.
I don't know if they're a gorilla, but they seem...
I don't know if he's ACP, I don't know.
But he seems like he's one of us, but he took the black pill, like, randomly.
And, uh, you know, obviously I think it's a false position that he's taken up.
And I'm just going to debate it accordingly, you know.
So, without any further ado, let's just do it.
He isn't in the party. I don't know. His name's Red Patriot.
And he took the black pill, which is very unfortunate.
All this kind of started in a conversation I was having in Discord.
I was talking about how I believe in astrology.
And, you know, that, I think that, maybe that's what triggered him, actually, he's taking the black bill. He's like, oh shit. He's like, fuck, this Haas guy's actually fucking crazy. Holy shit. All this is crazy. Like, this is, like, actually a cult leader holy fuck and uh what can i say you know i'm not forcing
my beliefs on anyone at least with respect to that regarding mar Marxism, Leninism,
Lysenkoism, it's like that's enforced.
That's not, you don't have free thought, right?
But yeah, I don't know if you guys don't know this about me.
Well, you do.
I mean, if you're an OG viewer, you've known this about me for the beginning
is I have a very, very mystical side. I'm very much come from an esoteric background. I very much
speak this kind of language.
And it informs a lot of how I look at the world and whatever. And the best, and the way, the reason I don't talk about it is because you shouldn't have to talk about it.
You should just be able to show results or perceive without spelling it out.
Midnight, what's up?
I think there's a lot of things we perceive that we don't spell out.
Gorilla, what's up?
It's just a lot of people don't know that there's reasons
for things, right? I don't know. I don't want to
get into it.
I have a very mystical
shamanistic, if you will.
Side.
Always have.
I could talk about that more, but in any case.
So, yeah.
I hope you guys like my new setup, by the way, because I love it.
I love it I love staring at the camera I was so like in the past I couldn't
I would always have to tilt it would be so
uncomfortable I am much more comfortable
like just streaming this way
anyway I'm not going to talk more about the
streaming said. We're going to get right into this debate.
And by the way, I watch my guys, I watch my
stuff, rewinding it, and I realize
something, I talk very slowly. I don't want to
talk slowly anymore. I know people have a short attention
span, and, you know, the slow talking thing,
it's not for the era we live in right so i'm
gonna start talking fast and that's what i'm gonna start doing i talk way too slow right i'm
start talking fast it's okay anyway let's bring up this person because i just want to dance.
Red Patriot.
Hello.
What's going on?
Let me start with the first question here.
Do you perceive yourself to be
an agent of a divine
will of God? No.
Didn't you claim that earlier? You said
that you're enacting some divine will
or that's your cause?
When did I say that? that no you said your cause was heavenly divine
justice is this true i said that throughout history revolutionaries do the bidding of heaven's
justice absolutely how do you know this?
Well,
do you know what I'm talking about
when I talk about heaven's justice?
Frankly, no.
Why ask, how do I know this?
If you don't even know what I'm talking about?
Here's my, my problem is that you're some eclectic perennial who gestures to Shia Islam and Christianity and Buddhism.
What do you actually believe in terms of your mystic religious outlook that is informing your view that all of these revolutions by the way not all revolutions not the bourgeois revolutions not the fascistic revolutions no fascistic revolution in history.
Only, only, only the, a certain lineage of
revolutions. No, all, all revolutions. There's no fascist
revolution. Name one. All revolutions. What, what
fascist revolution? Ignore, ignore that point. Ignore that point., what is the, how do you know that these are divine agents in history?
I never use the term divine agents.
I think that's a stupid term.
So let's actually frame your question with a degree of honesty as far as what I've actually said.
I'm not trying to be dishonest. How do you know that, uh, per se there's a, would you say there's a
divine trajectory in the motion of revolutions in history.
I could, well, you'd have to qualify, but yeah, I would say that.
And all I'm asking is, how could we know this? How could we determine this at all?
We'd first have to specify what the terms
that are in this case epistemically in question for you are
in the first place and what we mean to refer to when we talk about them.
So when I refer to the divine, for example, I'm just referring to a meaningfulness that is exterior
from, you know, a strictly being a kind of like post-talk object of human creation.
So, and a meaningfulness that inheres in the cosmos itself and...
Hello? You cut out a meaningfulness that it that appears in the cosmo and Yeah, my...
Cut out, because it's a fucking piece of shit.
Can you hear me?
I can hear you quite well.
Yeah, one that, in a sense, precedes human ideation. And any kind of whims and fancies that are a construct of our consciousness arbitrarily that just come from tabula rasa from any kind of blank human intention right so we're talking about something that I think premises preconditions the
existence of man. And in this sense, I absolutely think it's fair to say that if man arises from
something that is not itself, man, you know, I don't think that this is
from randomness. I don't think that's possible that man arises from randomness and by accident.
I think that the cosmos, first of all, that there is a cosmos. Now, some don't like this notion of cosmos
and would prefer to think that all universal existence is just randomness. But nonetheless,
there are resonances, there there's patterns there's lawfulness
within the cosmos
within the universe so there's an order of
some kind
make of it what you will for whatever reason
I'm not claiming to know the reason I'm not claiming to assert
a specific reason I'm just saying there is
order within existence or within being, right?
And this is what we call cosmos.
And because humanity and human history, because this is what preconditions it, because it is embedded within that, because it's contextualized with that, there has to be some kind of resonance between what we consider the true reality, which precedes human existence, and the things that we regard as meaningful in the development of human history. There has to be some kind of resonance or relationship, like by definition for me, right? This is what is inherent in the notion of a macrocosm, which is what we refer to as, you know, the heavenly bodies and the stars and so on, and the microcosm, right?
And relation of macrocosm to microcosm is a specific logic of how that there can be an outer layer of order, and then there can be an inner layer of order and there's a resonance
between them so that's how i would qualify the statement that history has a divine trajectory or
has a cosmic significance. All right.
I'd like to ask you a number of questions on that matter.
Are you here to debate me or are you here to ask me questions?
No, no, no, no.
They're critical questions, but I need to ask these questions in order to make the critique.
Is that all right with you or no? Okay. Well, okay. Okay. So the first question is, actually, I will just start to critique. It seems to me that you look at events that have
gained objectivity, such as 191717, such as the Chinese Revolution, yada, yada. These events in history that have happened that were in some way, which I'd actually be interested to understand what would be your criteria for success.
But in any case, these successful events in history, you look at them retroactively
and attempt to assign some kind of existential meaning to them.
But how can we know that these events really do have an existential meaning or some kind of wider cosmic instantiation
rather than just
being what
they appear on
some more perhaps
superficial level as
revolutions and upheavals
where there's discontents and a revolution happens and a certain party is able to come into power, which happens all of the time.
And these things don't seem to necessarily demand a cosmic explanation or to have objectivity on that cosmic level.
So how can you actually know that these things are anything besides mere events?
So, first of all, I'm not saying that they have to be explained in terms of their causes by cosmic phenomena.
I'm not saying that in order to understand the Bolshevik revolution, you know, you have to have an astrological explanation.
All I'm saying is that the things throughout human history, whether it's the Bolshevik revolution, whether it's the rise of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, all great world historical events throughout history, that humanity regards with an intense degree of meaningfulness and out of which we seem to derive our sense of meaning, our sense of the deeper order behind reality and its meaningfulness, that these follow a pattern and have a resonance with the cosmos, which means that they reflect greater cosmic principles.
And all that, all it means that they reflect greater cosmic principles is that they reflect something other than, let me put it this way, they reflect a context greater than themselves and to which they refer. And without this refer, their meaningfulness is gone.
And you can interpret cosmos absolutely in a Marxist sense.
A strict classical Marxist understanding of cosmos in this sense would be the mode of production.
The mode of production is the cosmos that gives the
meaningfulness to the world historical events. So Marxism would strictly work within the mode of
production, which is true in its own sense. I'm just taking this to its logical conclusion, and I'm
thinking about the place of humanity, the greater
place of humanity within the entire existence, in a way that actually addresses the question
of like what, in a sense, is what is meaningful about human existence and human life
and as a con in order for history to be meaningful there has to be a contravening element
outside of history that gives that context if historical development does not in some sense reflect the principles of heaven,
it cannot be meaningful.
If it's just a kind of eternal self-referentiality, kind of metanume, a kind of totology, of some kind of meaningless,
ape-like utterance that begins at the outset. If that is the word, some completely arbitrary
ape-like utterance, and that everything that follows from this is just some kind of tautological
self-referentiality this doesn't this explanation cannot achieve parity with the actual weight and depth of meaningfulness that is being communicated across
history and even today, there's more density. At the very least, people attach a greater
meaningfulness than what could be explained by the kind of self-contained
tautology of human language and so on and and subjectivity or whatever right well this does not
prove anything.
A subjective sense of meaning
that comes from witnessing
the world. Any
self-appointing cult leader
preacher can go and
can you not
when did I say...
Hold on.
I didn't say a...
I've said precisely it's not a subjective sense of meaning.
It's an objective one.
I didn't say it was subjective.
I said it's precisely...
I said it's precisely inadequate to regard it as subjective, strictly subjective.
Why would it be...
Well, first of all, then you would have to account for...
This was another matter I had a problem with in our discussion.
You said that the truth here is self-evident,
yet we have all of these differing opinions and traditions that are antagonistic to each other
that have all attempted to establish. But all of them have the same object.
What is that object?
The crisis of the contradiction between the relations and forces of production.
When there's a crisis in the mode of production, when it reaches a point where there's a contradiction between the relations and forces of production, when it reaches a point where there's a contradiction between the relations and forces of production to use Marxist verbiage, you get all manner of different points of view and perspectives, usually that reflect the vantage point of different classes and specific perspectives within the
division of labor reacting to the same thing in different ways this is marks brilliantly
uh uh like gives expression to this and works like the eighteenth brumere, right? So although you have this diversity of
perspective and all these different ways of responding to history and articulating them differently,
they're all responding to the same thing. I mean, I could give it to you.
If you're squinting your eyes, you could say that there was some
catastrophic event in the mode of production that happened around the time of Christ.
Every historical...
Six hundred years later and Buddhism, maybe 600 years before Christ. No, this has... Every historical... Six hundred years later and Buddhism, maybe six hundred years before Christ.
And then Hinduism, a thousand years before Christ.
None of these events align at the same time to give us the sense that all of these world traditions are actually speaking about the same crisis.
They emerge at different points.
They're different, for all intents and purposes, they're historically disparate phenomena.
What's historically disparate?
The religions themselves or the relation of the religions to their respective crisis that they're emerging in response to? The context. They're emerging in very different contexts, right?
So you're saying that first there was a crisis and then the religion came
hundreds of years later that's not true no no i i'm trying to if we're saying that all all
the object of all religions is is a crisis in the mode of production.
Well, then we would have to say that the particular crisis that births and gives significance to each religion, these are not all the same thing.
Yeah, from a historicist.
If you're working, if you're working, if you're working of, if you're working from a
historicist.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, we can speak of a crisis of capitalism in 1929 that was
global and universal
but what crisis can we point to that explains
all religions, all mystic views
all at once and says that
they all have the same object. What
is that? Communism.
That does not answer the question well in marx's logic where he says communism is the riddle of history solved that answers the question the the reason that there are contradictions that emerge whatever
and they do take different forms absolutely i'm not saying the conditions in which buddha emerged
and jesus and mohammed and ganges khan and whatever These are the exact same in detail.
But I'm saying they do have a common resonance because if you would like me to kind of put it in a more simplistic way, you have a division of labor that divides the activity and the um consciousness of man in kind of
different departments and different categories and yet these all form an integral whole so when
the whole enters into contradiction with the division of labor, which happens because of an increase in the socialization as a consequence of conquests or because of changes in the forces of production, like technology or something,
among other things, you have, you can kind of abstract a kind of general contradiction between the whole and the part. So this is why oftentimes these revolutions are monotheistic, and they're about overturning
paganism, because it's a return to oneness.
It's a return to the wholeness.
It's an assertion that all of this is part of one reality and has one meaningfulness because the various spheres within the division of labor have proven inadequate in giving expression to the actual integral totality they form a part of.
I mean, this is all true. I actually don't disagree with any of this, but that this is a
anything but you can say
everything you just said
there's a division of labor
there is a social whole
that is a constituted
of the different elements
in the division of labor
and it enters into a contradiction
right with you know, developing technology, war, trade, whatever.
But how is any, I mean, there's a reason that this is called historical materialism, right?
And it's because this can all be explained by, what's the Marx quote, you know, right? And it's because this can all be explained by
what's the Marx quote?
You know, man thinks of his stomach. This is all
just problems with resource distribution.
In the German ideology, what Marx writes
explicitly is that
in producing his means of subsistence, man is not merely producing his physical existence.
He is producing a definite form of activity.
And as he produces his life, so his life is. So there is no pre-existing
framework of the satiation of, for example, biological needs and wants and desires that
pre-configures the modes of production throughout history.
What man produces are the very conditions, the very object of production in the first place,
not just the conditions of production, but the very activity, the very way of life, the very means of subsistence,
which production is supposed to satisfy and reproduce. And this gives man a distinctly ontological
quality, for Marx at least.
And this is why Marx calls man species being.
Now, the meaning of species being is not zoological.
It's not that this is a specific type of animal that we all have to be like the blue people from Avatar and hug or whatever.
Species being refers to a union of being on the one hand, which at the outset kind of denotes abstraction.
It denotes kind of one-sidedness and emptiness, just because Hegel said, being and nothingness
are the same. But species means a specific determination of being with respect to itself. So a species
being, for Marx, is a specific kind of being, which has the quality of self-relation. And this self-relation
is a kind of, on the one hand, you could say it's a recursivity. It's a constant self-relationship that's recursive on the other hand you could say it's also an opposing tension and this logic of the opposing tension marks gives expression in his notion of the repulsion of the atoms in his earliest writing on
democratist or whatever, right?
And the idea is that
in the process of the repulsion of the atoms,
this is actually how the atoms,
these are kind of on-tick units in this work,
acquire a kind of on-tick units in this work, acquire a kind of
acquire self-relation with each other.
They become kind of entangled, right?
And the best example of the opposing tension
and repulsion of the atoms, Marx give, is like the love of man and woman, actually.
So, that's the meaning of the species being, though. The species being refers to an onto, it's an ontological notion, right?
It's the way in which being comes to itself become a particular determination.
Being as universal being, being as such acquiring
concreteness, acquiring
determination. So that is man,
that's Marx's definition of man.
For Marx, man is not some kind of
monkey or he's not, it's not like Aristotle
where it's a two-legged
featherless, whatever. a two-legged featherless, whatever,
a two-legged featherless toolmaking creature or something,
Marx doesn't identify man as a creature.
He identifies man as a kind of ontological formation,
an ontological existence, right?
And this is, he derives, by the way, from in his inversion of Hegel, but it still
comes from Hegel that he has such a grand view of man
in the first place. there's no consistency to that
ontology because it's all becoming that's that would be my position is that the the world
that we find ourselves in is all becoming all change all flux and so if we're going to
buy into the premise that at the very least man's social object is going to be premised by his
objective material
conditions, right? And those are
always changing. Man is always
going to be changing. And so
there's no sort of ontology
that can be produced here besides
man will always change and have
different views about himself.
This is not some kind of grand mission that gives us any imperative.
In fact, it tells us that we should step aside from such imperatives and such notions of
ontology because it's all changing and it's all bullshit.
It's all sound and fury that signifies nothing.
And after one ontology falls, another ontology will rise.
And after that ontology falls, another one will rise.
It's all changing.
It's already happening.
When I use the word species being, I'm speaking it in English in the 21st century, not in German in the 19th century.
So in some sense, yeah, there's always an inevitability of the change in the form.
But it's the content that you're missing, because content is the integral totality of the movement of, let's say, nothing to nothing, as you would put it put it right there's an integral unity and resonance
in that process and precisely when we acquire knowledge let's say of let's say species being
which does imply becoming because if there's no becoming in the species being, which does imply becoming, because if there's no becoming in the species being,
then you just have the being. You just have a general notion of being, which would probably
be resolved into an identity or an ideality, something static with a fixed beginning and a fixed end.
For it to have a species quality, for a particularity and a determination,
there has to be a constant process by which this determination realizes itself, right?
But to put it simply, when Bolsheviks carry the red flag into the winter
palace, then
and in that moment,
they acquire resonance
with the
eternal history of mankind,
all of the revolutions of
mankind's history.
There and in that moment precisely
when we insist upon
the particular determination
of our current situation, of our
current reality, of our
current order of things, of our current
world, of our current world historical mission,
we don't have to think about the things that happened in the past as a precondition of our
ability to respond and act to the cosmic necessity of today. But when we do act, we suddenly acquire a resonance that makes sense
of what people in the past were fighting for. Suddenly, you're speaking a language that allows you to
understand the history of the past in ways you couldn't before we can't understand
history by sitting here and looking at what others were doing we have to do it ourselves to understand
only in that doing do we acquire resonance with human history in that way
i mean that's a beautifully poetic way to say something which i do agree with, which is that history will be written by the victors, right? There's some objectivity to these victories that happened in history like 1917. People were in the right place at the right time saying the right things. Moreover, everything is
interconnected. We are in a
global world. So if something
super significant in a country
that's massive like Russia happens,
of course, it bears
world historical significance,
but I think it's simply special pleading to give yourself this, this communist cosmos when it's exactly the same with the, let's say the the English civil wars
and the execution of King Charles
that is also a world historical event
and I mean for God's sake
even something minor like the Rwandan genocide
we can say has global resonances
everything is connected in this way you're confused genocide we can say has global resonances everything
is connected in this way globally.
You're confusing the term
the term resonance doesn't simply
referring to affectivity
that it affects something.
That's not what resonance means.
Resonance means well, you know, the technical term, what it means is like echo, right?
It echoes.
Or it rhymes, right?
But a resonance basically means that there's a deeper logic there's a deeper content that in some sense is exactly the same throughout history that repeats itself just like in a song when there's a resonance within a melody something continues the exact same thing
at least you hear it repeating itself is it the same thing no it's happening across a different time
a duration of time if it's a song and it's physically impossible
to replicate the exact same
exact same sound across time
because no two things ever repeat
exactly the same way in physics right
but nonetheless there's a resonance
see nothing anywhere, no two identifiable things can be the same. There's nothing in physics that permits the possibility that a single particle at one point in time can even be the exact same at another
point in time to say nothing of space
there are no two things at all that are
exactly the same
so does that mean there's no determination
does that mean that there's no lawfulness
does that mean there's no patterns i
think it would be ridiculous to say that i myself am a pattern i am not technically the same as i was
five seconds ago if you define me in any kind of way, in a finite way. But there's a pattern that's
responsible for the fact that you're experiencing my existence in real time. I mean, I can look at any
sequence of past historical things and give you a pattern. I mean, I can look at any sequence of past historical things and give you a pattern.
I mean, the Marxists aren't the only historicists around.
Oswald Spangler comes to mind.
Yeah, but they're metaphysicians.
Their patterns are based in concepts and ideas and mental idols of thought that they arbitrarily draw from their head only.
And, you know, the patterns that they identify are the patterns of abstractions.
They'll talk about, you know, greed, the pattern of greed, the pattern of, you know, of spiritual decay, the pattern of sin, the pattern of envy, the pattern of jealousy.
So what they'll do is they'll take abstractions and use this to explain history, whereas Marxism doesn't permit the imposition of abstractions upon history.
Marxism demands that we regard each different mode of production and each epoch or any given moment of history in terms of the imminent relationships within, not imposing our abstractions on them, but seeing or trying to trace and derive how these things develop by their own logic, by their own
relations and so on.
Certainly not by their own relations. Most of history is not conscious of class struggle as its object.
It doesn't have to be conscious, but to suggest that Marxism is taking all of these things,
and in its historicism is being objective and imminent to each historical event. No, it's not.
Marxism is about looking at ancient Egyptian society and making absolutely no assumptions, absolutely no
assumptions about how and why they regarded various things, meaningful, what motivations various different kind of actors had, why they wanted to do what they did. But instead, wait, did you not just say earlier that Marxism is talking about how
the social object of production is
self-related. So how would it
not be important? I was trying to get to that before you
interrupt me. About itself. How would it not be important?
I was trying to get to that before you interrupted
me. So do you want to just yell and scream? What do you
want?
Go ahead.
So that's what Marxism would we begin with. If we want to look at ancient Egypt, we would look at how are they producing and reproducing their conditions of subsistence? Like, literally, what is their way of subsistence.
Like what, literally, what is their way of life?
How are they reproducing language, communication, meaningfulness, their physical existence materially?
How are they feeding themselves?
How are they building things?
What are the various relations implied by that? And out of this kind of structure or this kind of analysis, we would then maybe make the leap in effort to try and think about why they regarded the various deities and beliefs they did in the meaningful way that they did. What is the relationship? What relationship could those principles they had have to their way of life? How could that, and only then can we actually make sense of their meaning for them.
Only then can we say, oh, that's why it was meaningful.
It was so simple for them.
But when we begin, like Spengler or other bourgeois metaphysicians,
with the assumption that everyone has the same perspective that we do and psychology that we do and motivations that we do. And then we try to go from the top and kind of, well, you know, why did the Pharaoh do this? Because he was greedy and because he wanted more clout and he wanted more
bitcoins or something and it's like you don't even know what it means to be a pharaoh in the first
place what what what is a pharaoh what is that what is that what kind of society is that uh existing within
what meaningfulness does the society of ancient Egypt give to Pharaoh?
What does Pharaoh actually mean concretely for the Egyptians? Right. So that's the way Marxism looks at it.
And so these other people that you're talking about, they don't, they absolutely do not
look at the patterns of history and the way Marxism does.
I don't think they look at them the same, but you just conceded that when Mark said, man, things with his stomach,
that is exactly how we are going to proceed methodologically. No, because what you're talking
about the way of life of a society is reproduced on a material level of product and food and so on
so forth. No, your premise is absolutely false
because the notion
that societies are guided by an animalistic survival instinct
is absolutely false.
There is a reason man thinks of his stomach.
There is a reason man reproduces himself physically.
And by the way, physiology and materiality are not the exact same thing for Marxism.
You're confusing a kind of biological reductionism for Marxist materialism, which is not the case. So the reproduction of society also includes the reproduction of language. It includes the reproduction of the ability to communicate.
What is being communicating?
How the social object is being communicated.
Yes, as a precondition for the physical existence of people, there needs to be a physical way they reproduce themselves.
But you need to read the German ideology where Mark says, the physical reproduction of man is subordinated under the reproduction of his definite activity.
So as man makes his life, so he is.
He is not a hungry,
hungry person, and that's it.
He is a specific,
he's instantiated within a specific way of reproducing his means of subsistence and his activity. So all manner of artistic, philosophical, whatever,
religious considerations are there. Absolutely, they're there.
That's what they reflect, you know, in the superstructure, quote, unquote. The notion that Marxism is historical cynicism, where all the religion and philosophy and all these kind of things, rather than reflecting a deeper logic of production, merely reflect, you know, different excuses for people to fill more, fill their tummies with more wine and food and, you know, consume more. That's not materialism. It's metaphysical hedonism. It's assuming that the gain of pleasure is the ultimate guiding principle of all human beings from all eternity.
But this can't explain the phenomena of asceticism.
It can't explain the various Hindu cults and societies devoted to inflicting pain and suffering amongst themselves and not simply pleasure and so on.
So you have it completely backward as far as your understanding of Marxism.
All right. Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Is it true?
And this would be my understanding.
Is it not true that there,
if we look at historical revolutions,
is it not true?
And I'm speaking specifically of the revolution itself, not the committee of public safety or the Bolshevik party or whatever have you, but the revolutionary upheaval itself, is it not true that all of these at some point pertain to an inability of people to eat? Like the French Revolution was a bread
riot. The February Revolution was a bread riot. The February Revolution was a bread riot.
The Chinese Revolution,
the warlordism was preventing people
from eating, so they banded together
to create a new order.
These to me all seem like
affirming the logic that... In the the same way in the same way that uh brutality by
the state could trigger a revolution sometimes the final straw is that people just can't
fucking put food on their table but to say that this is the cause of the revolution is nonsense. Because it would be impossible then to explain why is it that for the majority of famines suffered in human history, there weren't corresponding revolutions.
Every famine had violence and upheaval, but yes, it's true.
Not all of them.
Yes, every famine does involve banditry, violence, upheaval, but it's true that not all famines
involved.
And they only become revolution
when there are
deeper, dare I say,
cosmic principles
that can replace
the existing state.
Wait.
That can unify the nation around a principle greater and more compelling than the one under which the existing state derives its sanction and rule from
could it not just be literally anything else I mean no that was kind of
no there there was plenty opportunity
for anything else in the famine in 3233
in the Soviet Union in the great leap forward
where there was a famine.
There was, there could have been anything else,
but there was nothing that could surmount the principles governing the state and the society at that time.
Then it just becomes a matter of, mean i don't know how deep like your your marquisist determinism goes but is it like if lennon
didn't exist there would be no bolshevich like if the bolsheviks didn't exist there wouldn't
okay okay if the bolsheviks didn't exist, there wouldn't...
Okay, okay. If the Bolsheviks didn't exist, would there have been some kind of revolutionary upheaval in Russia? Maybe this is an annoying kind of hypothetical. Yes, there would absolutely would have been, and it would have been uh it would have led to the balkanization of russia
so so turkey like in the ottoman empire like in um the austro-hungarian empire
oh oh so Austro-Hungarian Empire.
So only communists are the ones
who have the cosmic worldview
that's capable of restoring order
after a breakdown in the mode of production
in society. Unifying an integral historical totality.
Yeah, sounds like a cosmos to me.
That's exactly it seems like your like, like anyone who wins then is a communist
this kind of seems to me ridiculous
like are the American
are we seriously going to say that like the American
revolutionaries are like communists
I don't think they work.
Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that communism is the riddle of history solved?
That every tendency toward the advance of history and the succession of history and the development of history
and the integral totality of
history being advanced in a new way
actually does obey
an underlying communist kind of logos
no
being the riddle of history solved
no no you would have to
demonstrate that communism has like an actual
ontology an actual tradition
which it doesn't if we're going to say
communism starts with
the
the hararin civilization
in the Indus Valley and goes
up to today. That is not a tradition.
I think communism begins.
The Marxist view is that communism
begins
the
in the in communism
is coexistent with the entire cosmos at all times doesn't even begin anywhere
as long as there is cosmos there is communism as long as there is matter there is communism.
So,
this is, this is, you do know that this can't possibly be an ontology
or a tradition. The cosmos,
this is like Spinozism. Like, you're making this weird
dogmatic ethical, sort of like interpolation upon the entire cosmos.
There's no tradition there. There's no tradition. I'm not like Spinoza. I like Molesodra, not Spinoza. But what do you mean there's no tradition?
There's no resonance within the cosmos?
Then how, where did man come from?
If there's no pattern of determination and lawful change within the cosmos,
how did it culminate in man's existence? So you're saying that... existence.
So you're saying that, well, we could go two ways here.
Either we could say that there is God beyond being. Some kind of created telilos. Or we could say that
So either you would be saying that God is communism
Or we would be saying that
The physical laws that govern nature are communism.
Those are our two paths. More the latter. I mean, I wouldn't say nature are communism. Those are our two paths.
More the latter. I mean, I wouldn't say God
is communism. I would say that God
that
the order
of God's, the law of
God's creation is communism. That's what I
would say.
Okay, this is...
What, what, what, how are you supposed to claim to know this? Like, this, this, you are saying, okay, species
being makes sense.
A collective humanity
gets together and they
creates an ontology.
That's not what species being fucking means at all. That's not what species being
fucking means at all. That's not what it means
at all. What are you talking about? Species
being, again, just
refers to the self-relation of being
that only and uniquely
we find in man, at least as we know so far.
But even as per Marx's definition, if we found an alien civilization that was capable of language,
they would also be part of the species being of man.
They would qualify as man as per Marx's definition. Because man, species being,
again, it's being that acquires determination through self-relation. It affects itself,
it relates to itself as a specific and particular determination. Now, there are all
manner of determinations within being, right? But they don't have this quality of self-relation
and self-if you want self-referentiality being turning inward upon itself right as a something now you could say that the development of nature is guided by the principle of species
being because it's what culminates
in man right and that in
and you know this kind of spark exists
in all things in the cosmos whatever but
species being is the determination, and that is man for Marx.
And this, by the way, this comes from the Renaissance era, if not before.
Man is the measure of all things.
There's a meaningfulness of that beyond, you know,
monkeys measure things. Man is not a monkey for this specific, you know, line of thinking.
And then you can even see before the Italian Renaissance,
you had the kind of Islamic notion of Al-Ansan al-Kameel, right?
Which regards man as the kind of
if-isness or whatever between heaven and and and um between spirit and matter i should rather say right and that man is the the mediating essence of those
you know so
that is what man is for this kind of
esoteric tradition that Marx actually does take to a
conclusion
this actually this, this to me
is very problematic because
how can man
be the measure of all things when man
is particular?
Well then you could say, well, we're talking about
universal man. Who is
universal man? Who is universal man?
Who is this perceiver of all things?
No one.
It's a...
Nobody's talking about a perceiver of all things.
You're talking nonsense.
All we're talking about is a...
Wait, wait, wait.
Let me explain myself before you cut in.
The person, the figure, who would be the measure of all things, would be the person who perceives all things.
Man is the measure, not the perceiver of all things.
He's the measure of all things.
What is the measure of all things. What is measure of all
things? What is the distinction
between measurement and perception?
It basically means all things
can be measured in terms of how they fit
within the development of what culminates
in man.
That culminates in man that every every discrete observation we can abstract from the cosmos is an extension of man it's it's everything is the measure of man. It's everything is the measure of man,
right?
You can look at it in both of those senses.
So that's what it means.
Man is the measure of all things
how would this be so is it that man is the measure of all things or that the physical laws governing nature are the measure of all things or is man the physical laws governing nature or is man the physical laws governing nature physical laws governing nature culminate in man
who is the measure of all things
that that the measure
of all things would be the thing that all
things culminate into makes a lot of sense.
And how can we, I mean, this to me is just the same pattern of retroactively assigning some kind of telos to things that don't need to have a telos.
How could we truly...
Because you're taking your humanity
like especially
with the alien example let's say
tomorrow a big alien fleet comes up and
fucks our planet and has
technology far beyond our greatest dream how is man the culmination of all things?
I mean, this is possible that we have a large universe.
As per Marx's definition of man, these beings would be men.
They would be human.
So the most intelligent...
Nothing human is alien to me.
The most intelligent self-related thing is going to be the measure of all things.
What do you mean most intelligent?
You're just, you're using freight, you're, you're not weighing the meaningfulness
of your words carefully here.
I don't, I don't like taking these liberties.
Oh, they're more advanced.
They have more space guns.
Therefore, they're more intelligent.
It's like, that's not what
we're talking about here hold on wait then what is the the criteria that that that we're saying man
is the culmination the self-relatingness yes and how is self-relatingness developing except through
technology and culture
and the intellect?
How else would we say that this develops?
All you said was intelligence, which is
something I doubt you could define.
If you want to define it in Reza's sense then by all means but I doubt that's the sense in which we're using it
I'm just I if it's not those things I just listed, if it's not technology and culture and... Okay, let's start with intelligence, if you want.
What would...
Sure, we can start with intelligence.
What is intelligence? What does that mean?
I think intelligence would have to be the...
Let me think about this for a minute.
Okay, what's an intelligible?
What does it mean for something to be intelligible?
I... What does it mean for something to be intelligible? I like what Aristotle says that you understand its cause.
You understand how it's caused.
You understand it.
Okay.
I mean, what do you want to say then?
What is something intelligible?
So it would be suffice if you just said understanding, by the way.
Talking about causes is completely fucking pointless.
But, uh,
well,
if, if I'm,
if I'm looking at an intelligible object,
like,
I don't know,
this can of Red Bull in front of me.
Uh,
as long as it is something you can make out and situate within some kind of
distinct,
meaningful horizon, it's intelligible
you don't have to know its cause
no that's retarded because
animals do you have to know it's no animals
don't fuck are you kidding if you fucking wear a banana
suit if you fucking wear a banana suit and start fucking
Fortnite dancing in front of a fucking dog, it's not going to be able to tell the difference
between that and you're picking your fucking ass on the toilet.
So it won't because it's not going to regard
the intelligibility of the banana
suit in that specific way.
You don't have the basics down.
The way we can understand
a difference is we know the banana suit
has a different cause than an actual banana, right?
We don't have to know anything about the cause.
We don't have to know anything about the cause.
The cause, the causality is meaningless here.
It means nothing.
We don't have to know anything about the cause. All we have to know
is that this thing is different from that thing, that this is a thing, it's a definite thing,
distinct from that thing. That is intelligibility. Understanding the cause of this
thing is a secondary thing. It's completely
irrelevant to the question of what
makes something an intelligible. Something
is intelligible when we can distinguish
it from something else.
And take it as
as a specific object of the understanding.
We don't have to like argue about this seems like we're getting unrelated.
No, it's not unrelated, okay?
It's absolutely not unrelated.
We were discussing self-relation.
We were just, yeah, and you wanted to talk about intelligence.
So I wanted to ask you, what is intelligence, or I wanted to begin with what is an intelligible?
And you answered it in a way that pissed me off.
Because it's fucking stupid.
You can claim it's stupid. That's fine. But this
either we can end this talk now
or we can pivot because I don't really want to do
a philosophical discussion about what intelligence end this talk now or we can pivot because I don't really want to do a
philosophical discussion about
what intelligence is. I'd rather
try and get to some
kind of understanding, some kind of sensibility
of what self-relation is
so that we can know why man
is the culmination of the process of history.
Because only man regards things as objects of understanding according to something more than just those external things themselves.
Right.
To be conscious, to be conscious, merely conscious would be to have, see intelligible things, but to be self-relating would be to be conscious of your consciousness.
That man is a being that has self-relation, that looks, that refers back upon itself recursively at the expense of other things therefore being a species of being while simultaneously being being do you understand it's a species of being, which itself is being, which is being.
It's not simply a species of being under some greater being that, you know, is accounting for it the species of being which accounts
for its own being which is this being it's identical with this being right so this is the concrete
this is man is the concrete, this is man is the concrete universal.
That is man. Man is being that acquires
this
self particular
particularization as a concrete
determination.
See, even life doesn't care about reproducing itself as an integral being.
Only man does.
Only man is species being. only man does only man
is species being
people think
people oftentimes point to life
and a biological organism which does
reproduce itself and say
that's what that is right
this is a kind of being that, you know,
has this integral wholeness,
which it reproduces at the expense of its surroundings.
But that's not what organisms are.
That's not what they're doing.
Because the quality of
the quality of the integral wholeness
is not there. Organisms
are
a part of an extremely divided existence.
Right? Like, predator and prey, for example, in the part of an extremely divided existence, right?
Like predator and prey, for example,
in the relation of predator and prey,
the wolf is not a utilitarian fat British guy
who's calculating how many fucking sheep
he's going to slaughter a court.
No, the wolf, as far as the wolf might even in the most primal sense
identify with the prey when they're chasing the prey it's like they're chasing themselves and
they're eating they don't have these distinctions right there's no self-referentiality at all
um
so
like
the wolf chasing
its prey is no different
than it would be the equivalent of an unconscious metabolic process happening within us that we don't even know about my critique would be that it might be true
it's actually not clear to me if it's true that man is the only
self-related being on this planet at least any other self
relating being would be capable of language because that's what language is what do you
think a fucking word is that's what language is. What do you think a fucking word is?
That's all language is.
Language is precisely
the language of the species
being. Language
is the order
of species being, the cosmos
of species being. Sure cosmos of species being.
Sure, sure, sure. But I follow the point of view. I've read a number of papers. You can
disagree with this, but I've seen it said that the language forming part of the brain is
actually one in the same with the tool
making part of the brain. And that we
see other great apes developing
tool making skills and all of this
suggests to me that are
great uniqueness. Can you find the part of the brain that is specifically responsible for Skibbitty Toilet?
That specific configuration of words, Skibbitty Toilet.
Well, Scribity Toilet is a development of a discourse.
And clearly, I'm not saying that a chimpanzee is self-relating in the same way a human is, but if there's a possibility that it is developing and evolving, then we're looking at a situation where there could be a discourse of chimpanzees.
In fact, we know Neanderthals
had a discourse, and they are a distinct
species. How does that contradict
what I said, man is the measure of all
things. Cosmos culminates in man.
This is what I said. Because it starts
because it... the key to
anatomy of the ape is in the anatomy of a man. That's what Mark said. The ridiculousness of it
is that it is a recursive truth that that it's true for man in so far as I'm a man and I'm hearing
you say this as a man and my so far as I'm a man and I'm hearing you say this as
a man and my ontology is that of a man
but I am not being
I am not the sum of
being being is far beyond
what I can perceive
and I you're not a being
at the measure of all things you're not a a being. I am a being. I am a being. I am not capital B being. Okay. What's the difference? The difference is that capital B being is the universal totality of all things. I am not the universal totality of all things. I'm not even
close to that. And also the universal totality of all things. How can we make all things into a something?
How does that acquire determination?
How do all things acquire determination?
You are the one who saying that.
Is it the multiverse and the omniverse,
where it's just like,
or is there a concrete, is there a concreteness to the particularity?
That the particular is the totality, that the rose is red, that the redness is not simply an attribute of the rose, the rose is red that the entire integral totality
of universal existence is its particulars it is the concrete disparate determinations that is what it is
i mean you can give me some
beautiful William Blake poetry about seeing
infinity in a grain of sand.
No, well, Blake,
one of his favorite things that he wrote
was seeing infinity in a grain of sand
and that reminded me of something you said earlier.
Anyway, which I agree with.
So the universal is in the particular.
So because man is self-relating, man is the universe. This to me is ridiculous. Theating man is the universe
this to me is ridiculous
the only thing that could actually account
you know honestly I hate to say it
because it's so reddit and cringe
but it is the truth
man is the universe set upon
itself you know well the redders they say it's the universe set upon itself you know well the redders they say it's the universe thinking about itself
i hate i hate it but it's kind of close to the truth where i'm going with this is that i would see i would
say god is what the universe rests on.
There has to be something beyond being that can actually account for the universality actually encompass being.
Anything within being is not being itself.
That doesn't make sense. My liver is not being itself. That doesn't make sense.
My liver is
not me.
You know,
the fact that
my liver is within me and I have a
body that is circumscribing all of my different
organs. That is universality.
Could we
could we describe the meaningfulness
or significance of your liver
outside of the context of being part of you?
Yeah. of the context of being part of you? No, we couldn't.
So what's your question?
My question, the question, I mean, that's exactly my point.
We couldn't have man.
We couldn't speak.
Man can't speak from my point of view.
Man cannot speak himself as the universal because he is within a system that is outside of him.
Man by necessity, though, this is the problem. By
necessity, man has
to speak with reference to the universal.
To say nothing of himself,
to speak about anything at all,
man must speak with reference to the
universal.
No matter how much he tries to humble himself and say, well, I don't know, actually, I'm only speaking for myself.
Just by partaking in what we call language, he has to ultimately make reference to something that satisfies or acquires parity with the universal.
Well, yeah, it's just like how Plato, you know, kind of comically says, like, we should excise all things where we say this is or this, this is something that can be.
He says we should get rid of those because
it's illogical to say those in
one of the dialogues. Of course
we have to speak in
and communicate with sensibility
but the
design and logic of language
and how we communicate sensibility,
that doesn't say anything
about the actual universality of these things.
We are just speaking.
What are we speaking about?
I mean,
it seems to me that language like I said earlier develops
out of production toolmaking
like what is poop
good one no what is that what is no entertain it what the human excrement that comes when we process food and it goes, the, the, the, the, the, the waste goes into our bladder, whatever.
Okay. So you, so what is that I mean this is this to me
like what's the point here
this is childish
if you ask the question of what is anything
what is anything at all
there's a metanumi.
Eventually you're going to get
stuck in a kind of totology
where the real
thing that you're talking about, although you're
talking about particular different things, obviously,
there's an underlying
thing you're talking about that you just cannot enunciate, definitely.
I mean, yeah, this is like a problem.
You can keep dividing and dividing and dividing and dividing. There's an implicit horizon of meaningfulness that itself you cannot directly communicate, but which is implicit in every word you use and in everything you say.
What is this implicit horizon of meaningness that you're speaking of?
I don't know how this addresses the question of how language is really universal or if it is just a
means of communicating
premises that are understandable.
That's what I'm talking about. Communicating what?
What does it mean under
when you're talking about something like the understanding?
What does it mean to understand?
It means to take something and subject it to some kind of...
You're taking something, you're abstracting it, and you're putting it in some kind of unique chain of signification.
So you're still within language when you're talking about understanding.
Look, I have no doubt that man is a uniquely advanced species in its brain and consciousness.
I'm not talking about advanced. I am not talking about advanced. Language is obviously contingent upon
some of our faculties of
space and time and the constancy
of objects over time and
our observation. It's so gay, dude. You sound like
you all Nova Horari. I fucking hate it.
Like, honestly, I just like, what an awful thing to it. Like, honestly, I just like,
what an awful thing to say.
Like, what an awful Reddit
disgusting thing to say.
Like, I'm not fucking talking.
I'm not saying man is a special kind of fucking animal.
I'm saying we're not animals.
We're something qualitatively different. And if you disagree, you're not a
fucking Marxist. No, we're not a fucking special type of creature for fucking pedophile Yuval Noah Hariri
to creepily fucking oogle and dissect us. That's not what we fucking are.
We are not an... We are qualitatively distinct
kind of being. And I'm sick of pretending we're not.
There's no spectrum. There's no spectrum.
There's no spectrum. Everything you've told me,
everything you've told me,
Haas,
is just how man is going to ontologize himself
and create his own meaning.
And all of your meanings are ridiculous. Man is not creating his own meaning. And all of your meanings are ridiculous.
Man is not creating his own meaning.
He is giving way to a meaning that precedes him is my point.
And his, the meaning that precedes him is the physical limitations of his body and his world no the meaning that precedes him are the
cosmic principles that give rise to his existence in the first place and man is not those cosmic
principles we did not create physics we discovered physics god creates all of these things so when god i say we created
anything who's talking about creation except you this all comes back from the point that you want to
say that there's some kind of culminating communism world principle physics physics. Yes, the cosmos
It's all one. It's not all
one. I don't think it's all one.
The principles guiding
cosmic development culminated in what we call
man. That's what I said. I didn't say man
creates anything. I said
And what is that but a fart in a wind?
The principles guiding physical development
created skibbitty toilet
and the last shit you took.
I don't know what to tell you.
I was communism any different than any of these things that exist.
Because if nature and the universe has a lawful tendency to the development of what we call the very being, and it's called having self-awareness,
which is capable of
regarding objects as objects, or
being as beings, or being as such,
and language, and so on and so on,
that this means
that the thing that we regard is exclusively meaningful within ourselves
has to come from out of that. So nobody denies that other things in the universe exist like
poop, okay?
But what we're talking about specifically is that man arises as a consequence
of principles guiding the cosmos.
And man happens to be the only being
that relates to itself,
as itself.
So if there's,
okay,
two things.
Everything else also relates as a consequence.
No,
it doesn't.
No,
that, that, my friend, is No, it doesn't. No, that
my friend is where you cross the line.
No, then you're crossing
the line into some kind of
schizophrenia where poop is
secretly thinking about the poopness
of itself, which granted all
philosophers and scholastics implicitly believed that,
you know, a rock is secretly some kind of obeying some kind of like divine mind according to
which it is a rock, right? And it has this identity. But that is just a superstition it's just metaphysics maybe the rock is
suspended in a process the same principles that guide the development of rocks are those that
guide and aid the development of what culminates into man and And so there's this term I forgot who said it, which is like,
nature, speech arose to give expression to the agony within nature, right?
So there is an inherent kind of tendency within nature that aspires toward man right but but doesn't achieve it so man is the measure of all things would imply that i just disagree.
I don't think man is God.
God is God.
When did I say man is God?
Holy shit.
You're saying that the possibility, okay, the possibility and the objectivity of all objects that exist around us are only contingent upon man being their measure.
I don't agree with that.
Yes, because man is the highest of God's creation.
Okay. of God's creation according to all the fucking religions
right
sure sure man
you don't you said you're not a but but man is contingent
as well
and this gets to the other point
what point
when you say man is contingent
what point are you making
the point is that the point is that man is contingent, what point are you making?
The point is that you want to
have it that all of the objects in our
universe are contingent upon man as their
measure, but man himself
is contingent upon someone else as his measure.
Is this not true?
You know what? You don't even know what you're taught. You're like, you fucked your
own brain into confusion and I don't know how much I can help you any further.
When I say man is the measure of all things,
I'm not claiming that the existence of things in the universe depends upon our
awareness of them or something. I'm saying that, I'm not saying they depend upon anything.
Though the whole notion of dependency and contingency, you fucking invented. I never said anything about that okay what i said
that man is the measure of all things i said it can be understood in two senses one that cosmos
culminates in what we call man that means everything has to be contextualized
within that frame of development so even a rock you have to context what specific trajectory
of development is the rock situated within or why am I not
actualizing my own existence
shut the fuck up
which no no no let's
I need to understand this
before you proceed
why is it
shut the literal fuck up?
Back to the rock.
It has to be understood within the context of a logos or pattern, whatever you want to call it, of
development, like lawful development, because the universe is in constant flux. It's being driven
by something or away from something, however you want to look at it. And the culmination of that,
according to what I'm saying, is man. Matter has a tendency to culminate into what
Ilyenko called the thinking spirit. I wouldn't necessarily approve that term.
So that's what it means. That's one of the senses in which you can say man is the measure of all things.
Iraq may never partake in the process of the development into something like man, right? but insofar as there's going to be novel
developments within the cosmos in so far as there's novelty and development and not being stuck
in the same let's say physical pattern for billions and billions of years, the buck stops with man.
That's what I'm saying.
Now, the second thing I'm saying is that you could also look at it in the sense, which is the most prevailing interpretation, by the way, that to say man is the measure of all things
simply means that there's an inescapable horizon within which we abstract things from the
cosmos and measure them and so on and attribute them meaningfulness, which is a reflection of ourselves
and always will be and it's inescapable and we can never acquire an inhuman perspective
with respect to how we interact with things. So these are the two senses in which it would be
legitimate to say, man, is the measure of all things. Now I'll unmute you.
On the first matter, that man is the culmination of physical laws governing the universe without getting in a getting your panties in a twist can you explain how that fact is any different than any other number of things which are also culminations.
Lesser culminations, maybe a rock, a dog.
Absolutely.
These are all things that have come to be and are as they are now as a result of physical laws governing the universe.
That's true, but rocks are incapable of thought.
They can't think.
They don't have language.
They can't, they're not laboring beings.
They don't transform their surroundings.
According to the reproduction of their activity, they don't have activity.
So that's the distinction.
Wait, sorry. Sorry.
But that doesn't...
Do you even know what I mean by culmination
do you somehow think that when I say
culmination it somehow means that
man does not coexist
with things that are not man that's not what I'm
fucking saying I'm saying insofar
as there is a pattern or lawful
development of matter
if matter obeys a lawful
pattern of development
the culmination of that
development is man
so in this in this scheme
although man
is co-temporal with rocks
and all sorts of other things,
those have not
developed
to the conclusion, to
their final conclusion, so to speak, right?
So it's combined an uneven development, I guess,
if that's how you want to understand it.
The entire universe doesn't develop at the exact same rate
and even that to say so would be an absurdity because man
the very notion of man implies the entire breadth of cosmos, including rocks, including all these other things and
determinations we can identify. Man cannot exist as an absolute being abstracted from creation
and separate from it, because that would be God in that sense, right?
So no one's saying man is God. But we are saying that in this scheme, you know, man is the highest of God's creation.
Which is what the renaissance humanists were saying
man is the highest of god's creation. I mean, sure.
In terms of all of the things that we are aware of right now, we do
appear to be the
culmination, in a sense.
How does that then
relate to so so this could go on for a while because now we have to speak of how how is man in communism a culmination how is this also part of a universal principle that has been developing from the beginning of time?
Read the German ideology.
You're cut.
See, the problem with you is that you're coming at me with a pretense of literacy. You want to make it all philosophical, right? You want to interrogate meticulously every kind of propositional statement and whatever. It's like, then that implies a certain level of literacy. If you haven't fucking read what Marx wrote
in the German ideology about this,
then talk to me about how you're blackpilled
and you don't have faith or something
or bring it down a notch
because you're just pretending
to have a level of literacy here that you just don't frankly like it's such a mediocre question
how is man how does the existence of man inherently by the nature of man imply communism well isn't it
marx who talked precisely about that in the German ideology
and the economic and philosophical manuscripts? In his very definition of man as a, the species
being, the being that acquires concrete
determination, the universal
acquiring particularity through the
concrete, right?
The concrete particular. But then
man as a social being,
okay, man whose object is common so man is not
simply and an individual organism okay man is a relationality okay uh within a division of labor that actually forms an integral whole okay so that integral
whole is communism communism refers to the integral whole formed by man in his social existence
and man is by nature a social being and formed by man in his social existence.
And man is by nature a social being.
And it's not because he's a social animal.
This is where people misread Marx.
He never said anything like that.
What Marx said is that man is definitionally existing by virtue of his relation toward others and the logic of this is in his
writing about
democritus and the declination and the repulsion of the
atoms right in the it's baked into and the declination and the repulsion of the atoms, right?
It's baked into the notion of species being.
The same way being turns inward upon itself and thereby acquires self-relationality, right?
Man, an individual man, only in his relation with others,
acquires confirmation and existence, self-confirmation and existence.
Okay?
So, communism, all this really refers to throughout all epochs of history is the underlying logic of the integral whole formed by man. And communism does not become communism, okay? Like before then it's this riddle right it's this uh it's this secret behind
the riddle that only gets solved with the rise of the proletariat,
specifically as a consequence of the fact that with the rise of the proletariat,
man is finally reduced by measure
to his most fundamental essence, which is the ability to engage in labor.
So before property was alienated man, right?
So this is man's, man find self, confirmation, dignity, and existence in his
property. Literally his property, the thing that reflects him. He works on something, and this image is
him. It reflects back to him. So this is private property, right? And this is
an kind of alienated fetish that Marx talks about from man, right? With the rise of the proletariat,
the proletarians don't have property. The only thing they have is their labor and nothing else. But they're not slaves. It's not like they're owned entirely. They're selling their labor. They're selling their fundamental human quality, right?
So because of the rise of this new and unique class, because of moderate modernity and
capitalism, which Marx regards is the culmination of human history, you know, until communism, then finally it's
possible to acquire the perspective of the integral whole and its underlying logos, right?
Only then is it possible
because proletarians who have nothing to sell
but their labor cannot
cannot fulfill their interests as a class
without... fill their interests as a class without winning, without the complete winning of man,
what Marx calls the winning of man, which means the reappropriation of man's fundamental
essence,
which is the ability to transform his surroundings via labor, right?
So the proletariat in taking and seizing back the means of production, let's say,
it's see, it's man seizing back the means of production, let's say.
It's man seizing back and returning to himself the most fundamental quality that distinguish him from animals, right?
Tactile, what's up?
I think you're not muted.
I didn't mute you.
So, no, I was just thinking for a minute.
I mean, that is Marxism.
That is the Marxist explanation.
But that doesn't really answer the question I asked you.
And you can insult my literacy or whatever.
But the question I'm asking is, how do you know that your particularity, your own
ideology of communist ACP, whatever,
how do you know that this has any significance
for universal man besides your own self-positing
of what universal man should be?
Even a bum on the street has a significance for universal man.
Is that statement anything else besides everything is everything like
okay everything is interconnected
you know i'm really sick of this way
you're like gibbering and waffling
using terms i'm not even using
oh they think you're taking this vague
perception of what i'm saying oh Oh, this is just universal man.
You're not with meticulous detail and caution.
Actually, actually, like, articulating anything about what I'm saying.
You're not actually like,
what is he actually saying?
It's more like, oh, this is kind of like the vague vibe he's giving.
Stop judging what I'm saying based on fucking vibes.
Only... stop judging what I'm saying based on fucking vibes only accuse me of saying what I've said because you're babbling
so if
communism is the ontological structure of man's global, universal, sociality, how is that anything, but everything it's already...
You're just starting with this term universal.
Okay.
Because you're misusing terms.
I didn't say universal.
I said the integral whole of his existence.
The integral whole.
Okay, communism is the integral whole of man's existence.
Is that fine?
Can we proceed?
Yes.
How can we identify what is the voice of that integral whole besides everything that's happening all at once all of the time with man.
There's no magic secret. The voice is he who deigns through praxis to give consideration and regard for the universal whole. First, with respect to acknowledging it in the first place,
that we do form an integral universal whole, and then taking responsibility for that. And anyone who engages in that specific type of praxis is a communist anyone who takes responsibility
for being a part of an integral
whole is a communist
is this what we're
who names
and responds and assumes
responsibility for the integral whole
of our social existence
is a communist.
And could not
because many different... Definitionally
that means you're part of a communist party
Because that's the only way you can do that
I don't understand how this
What you described has nothing to do of joining a communist party
Anyone can take responsibility for
the integral whole and say, I am
leave, yes, absolutely. Describe it.
Describe what that would look like without being in a
communist party.
How would you take that?
United States for the last 80 years.
The United States for the last 80 years has been the hegemon the world empire that has attempted to take responsibility for the integral whole of
humanity and and the united states was never governed by. It objectively was not doing that.
The United States wasn't...
In the same way that the USSR doesn't do that, or communist China doesn't do that.
You are such a fucking retard. It's disgusting.
You're saying that because the United States had the aspiration to impose universal world government, that that's the same thing that what I'm talking about.
The U.S. didn't aspire to take responsibility for the integral whole of our social existence because it never acknowledged any such integral whole in the first place it acknowledged
a global society it acknowledged that there were other countries and there were other peoples
sure but but did they really acknowledge the way in which this all forms one totality, one integral whole?
No, never.
And the reality of this integral whole was never defined by the rule of the United States.
It was defined by the Vietnamese farmers and guerrillas and Iraqi insurgents and the Taliban, whatever you want to call it, who were resisting U.S. unipolar rule. Why? Because they proved that is the entire thing. You can't just say, oh, the New York City, that's the global community.
No, the global community were the motherfuckers in Afghanistan resisting the occupation, or in Vietnam, or in Iraq, or Gaza, or whatever you want to say or Vietnam or Korea.
That's the integral whole.
At no point could the U.S. logically account for that, right?
They had to illogically
demonize these people as terrorists
or as, you know, godless commies who are
committing atrocities, whatever, dehumanizing
them effectively. But was there any sense or way in which the U.S. could logically reconcile with the fact that this forms an integral world order?
That this is its true, the real order behind things beyond its pretenses is that people aspire to have
national self-determination and dignity and sovereignty and so on and so on and own their
land and own their resources and whatever. course they couldn't so what you're saying
is fucking nonsense well first of all yes they did america did protectionism they had a sense of sovereignty
they're a product of the ideas of nation state that come from history.
America did have that idea for itself, but just not for other people.
I'm not talking about a fucking idea.
I'm talking about the willingness of a Vietnamese farmer to take up arms and literally get himself killed to fight for something that the
American occupiers just couldn't understand why.
So America was clueless as to why there was a Vietnamese resistance?
I don't, this is all poetic.
They were absolutely clueless about the fundamental morale that animated a Vietnamese soldier.
They get coped and they imposed, though this is Asiatic fanaticism and they're brainwashed.
And even in the Korean War, they even made up this lie
that they have these advanced brainwashing technologies or something.
They could never understand it.
Especially true with Iraq and Afghanistan,
where they couldn't understand why these
Muslim fanatics were taking up
arms to defend their homeland rather than fucking
jacking off and eating Cheetos and watching porn
playing fucking Halo.
You think the United States
just couldn't understand this at all
relate to it, could not share the same humanity, absolutely not.
This is, I mean, Hollywood made right on.
You're telling me, you're telling me George W. Bush, you're telling me George W. Bush you're telling me
George W. Bush had an acute
sense of shared humanity
with Iraqi insurgents taking up arms
and blowing themselves up
to defend their country.
Okay, so that is what you're saying.
No, no, I'm just getting
lost in the ambiguity and vagary
in the poetry of this because it's like,
of course the United States...
Of course the United States
understood that
those particular peoples were going
to defend themselves.
Maybe they...
Jesus Christ.
This guy, you are such a midwit, dude.
Like, you're pissing me off so much with how
stupid the shit you're saying is.
Did I say that the U.S. couldn't
mechanically anticipate
that there is armed resistance.
I'm talking about the fucking motivations and the morale.
I'm talking about the why, why actually, in a way that they themselves shared.
They didn't fucking share that.
So as per my definition,
it's absolutely consistent that a
communist is he who takes responsibility
for the integral whole
of social existence. The U.S.
absolutely did not fucking do that.
I mean, this might just sound completely ridiculous
to you, but at the same time we were doing
the Cold War, we made the movie Red Dawn
where we imagined
America getting invaded and how we'd
all band together and be partisans.
And it's not as if this is out of the imagination of the United States Empire.
It's just the United States.
We are so fast.
We are so far past the fucking ballpark of the actual point here.
Because the point is the United states was not taking responsibility for the
integral whole of social existence not in the u.s. and certainly not with and by the way you are such a
fucking idiot fuck with you heard the term integral whole of existence and said the planet the integral
whole of social existence has a national form it's not the entire fucking planet but even if we
were to assume it's the entire planet and that the all the whole world is just one country then in this
case the u.s would be a shitty regime that is absolutely incapable of taking responsibility for
the integral whole of its existence as evidenced by the fact that there was so much resistance to its rule.
That's not responsibility. That's avoiding responsibility.
Avoiding responsibility for why they're endangering the cause of the resistance in the first place.
They're not taking responsibility for that.
You know, what would that?
Maybe that would look like fucking paying reparations to Vietnam and rebuilding it or something.
It would be anything but what the U.S. is today or what it became in the immediate aftermath.
The point I'm trying to illustrate is that Empire, when it rises to the point of empire where it does have
some pretense to pax americana packs romana whatever you have it of being a universal state
of some kind and this comes also with our UN Declaration
of Human Rights. All of the bourgeois ideology
that described
the American hegemony. I am literally
so exhausted of how retarded you are.
That has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
Literally nothing. You are being
intentionally pedantic.
You heard me say a communist
as EU takes responsibility for the universal
whole of social existence. Now you're
talking about the fucking UN. You are
being deliberately obtuse,
pedantic and... No, I'm not
being deliberately obtuse. Processing my and I'm not being delivered.
Processing my fucking point. Do you want me to
you want me to meticulously explain why those
are not the same thing?
Is that what you want?
Yeah, I want.
The critique is literally that
you have ideology, America has ideology, all empires have ideology that claim to be speaking to this vague integral whole.
The Romans spoke to the integral whole.
Instead of gibbering like a fucking retard,
you could have just said that every ideology
pretends that it speaks for the
on behalf of a universal principle.
You could just say that.
Instead of butchering and fucking abusing
the words
I bestowed upon you
with fucking
with mercy
and generosity
I taught you
words that you're
now abusing like
a retard
is that what
you mean to say
that every ideology
can pretend
to be a
universal principle?
Yes, absolutely. That is a problem. And I would say there's a difference between,
there's a difference between an ideology pretending to rep, reflect, to represent a universal
principle, and actually being one. And how would you know? you would know in terms of whether or not this
principle can successfully can successfully actually guide and mobilize society through a revolutionary change,
which the U.S. and the U.N. cannot do.
And the revolutionary change is inevitable.
It's a cycle.
It's a dynastic logic and cycle of change, right?
The principle that the U.S. claims is a universal one has to pretend and suppress and ignore that.
It can't lead and guide that change because the change condemns it to the
dustbin of history
maybe it's the whole
revolutionary part you're fucking missing
maybe that's what it is maybe it's the part
about how the integral totality
that I'm talking about
comes at the expense
of the pretenses and
conceits that arise within the
various divisions of labor. And if you want
to ask the question, what
separates, how can
you distinguish a conceit
that arises from the division of labor
from an authentic perspective
that authentically gives way to and
reflects the universal whole
if I gave you examples
like Lenin, if I gave you examples
like Mao, if I gave you examples like Hussein, if I gave you examples like Mao, if I gave you examples
like Hussein, right, who
from scratch,
outside the power structure, outside
of its money stream, derived
the authority of a new principle
from scratch
without anything to go off of except the ability to communicate this
principle to organize from scratch to live by these principles to live by the real moral cosmos, the moral cosmic principle.
What did you tell me in Discord?
You told me these people were trying to usurp God.
I digress.
Religious leaders that claim the role of prophecy, prophetic wisdom, and spoke for God.
It's not up to me to evaluate.
You said Lenin tried to usurp. Lenin was usurping God when he did what he did. Okay. Lenin tried to usurp. Lenin was usurping God
when he did what he did.
Lenin was outside of the
hegemony. He from scratch
built that Bolshevik party
and then
took power. It was basically kind of like
it was, it resembles in a lot of ways to me like the the St. Paul going around for why did Jesus enter this world in a mangler? Can you answer that question? Genius. Because I could. Because it's only when you give yourself
shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up
because it's only when you give yourself
to the mercy and grace of the
integral totality
of the existence you're part of without any support from the
hegemony whatsoever that you live and die by the principle alone with nothing else with no wealth with no pre-existing fame with no
pre-existing popularity with no pre-existing support you go where your message goes you go with only your ability to communicate that principle of the universal whole and that's it
and that's the only authority you have and that's why jesus said he was the king of the Jews, even though he was fucking broke and was born in a mangro.
Ultimately, this does boil down to, like, the stronger will be victorious, right?
I mean, the principle that comes out on top.
What's wrong with that?
It means that communism isn't anything but the strong.
You know why you're a fucking coward
because I know what you're trying to say
and it's pathetic
you have no other reason
to partake in the same faith
that literally all the people
who found meaningfulness in the revolutionary
message throughout history other than brute force.
Well, Jesus didn't compel anyone by force. None of the Bolsheviks were compelled by force.
None of the followers of Genghis Khan in the beginning were compelled by force.
None of the followers of Ismail were compelled by force. None of the followers of Moses were even compelled by force. None of the followers of Ismail were compelled by force. None of the followers of Moses were even compelled by force. They were compelled by faith. You are incapable of relating to that and of having faith because you're a nihilist, because you take the black pill, because you surrender,
and you live a meaningless existence.
I can't relate to you, buddy.
That's the difference between us.
I can't relate to you.
I think that you occupy a miserable
existential position that I cannot
and would not
ever,
ever deign myself
to even try
to relate to
because it's cowardice
and it's defeatism
and all I can say
is I pity you.
You say,
well, yeah,
ultimately,
having these kind of principles will mean that you win in the end because you're tapping into the fundamentals of what ground a social order
and you're testing it into the fire of what it really fucking is
where the motherfuckers that talk, they have to start walking.
And it turns out the motherfuckers that can actually walk are the motherfuckers actually about
some real shit.
That's what history shows us, right?
It's not about the people who have all the money and have all this cloud and popularity, whatever.
It's about the motherfucker is actually about some
real ass shit they're willing to fucking live and die
for, right?
And yeah, that does win out in the end.
That is what compels the masses.
To say, what the fuck am I even
living on this fucking earth for?
To be a fucking slave or to live for a higher principle and be something more than a
fucking animal.
You can't relate to it.
You can't relate to it. But all the people... I can relate to it. You can't relate to it, but all the people that...
All the people that follow Jesus could.
All the people that join Hussein's army.
However meager among them, they all fucking understood it.
All the people that rode with Lenin understood it. All the people that rode with Lenin
understood it. All the people in
Mao's army during the Great
The Long March understood it.
And you stop fucking putting everyone in one basket
Like this is all the same fucking thing.
Yeah, these are the same fucking thing
Because every fucking instance of what I mentioned, every fucking instance of what I fucking mentioned involved motherfuckers who had only their principles to offer their followers and nothing else. No wealth, no power, no fucking nothing, except
authenticity, except principle.
The principles were different. They were different principles.
It doesn't fucking matter. The logic
rhymes and it's the same.
You can't say these things are similar.
They're all disparate because you're a fucking
nihilist. You can't see the
harmony and resonance of history
because you're a fucking nihilist.
You're a mad. How the fuck are you even talking to me?
There are many
principles out there that I could die for right now.
No, there's none.
I'm going to be a Shia?
Am I going to be a Christian zealot?
These are all different fucking
principles. You're a fake ass, pussy
ass bitch. You're a fake
pussy ass bitch. If a fake pussy ass bitch
if you find it fucking necessary
to put all these things
in separate fucking boxes
instead of doing the thing that came to people's
common sense which is that actually
these are all different
these are all
these are all the same thing These are all the same thing.
They're all the same thing.
Absolutely they're the same fucking thing.
They're absolutely the same fucking thing.
You can't prove that with anything but your vagaries
and your perennialist vagaries.
Insofar, insofar, why does it have meaningfulness in the first place, you fucking retard?
Why would anyone care about Jesus in the first place if there wasn't something meaningful and powerful about what he did.
Since we're not living in Jesus' context, why the fuck are you even a Christian by your logic?
You're not fucking living in fucking Rome and their fucking historical conditions that supposedly make it radically distinct.
Why is it that fucking Jesus
is remembered today?
And nobody gives a shit about Caesar.
Because that shit is universal
and across all of history.
And it's the same fucking thing.
That's why motherfuckers who are addicted to heroin
say that they can be saved by Jesus all the same fucking thing what the fuck else would it be
what a stupid existence these these these are all just completely unrelated.
They're not resonances of the same fundamental meaning.
What are we fucking here for to be maggots?
Haas, I am simply asking you, rather than putting all of these in one box and saying it's all communism,
why is it a box? It's not a box. I never said it was a box. What is the language I used? The language I used reflects relationality.
I never said it's a box.
I said it, I never said it's a common identity.
I never said a common identity.
I said a common meaningfulness.
A common meaning, absolutely.
Absolutely a common meaning.
You're the fucking retard who follows Greek pederast
who reduces meaningfulness to identity.
I shit on identity.
I'm not a fucking Greek peterast like your fucking teachers.
This is...
But the important...
You think meaning...
That's what your problem is.
You don't understand the sublime.
You don't even know what meaning is.
You think meaning is an identity.
You think it's an ideology.
You think it's a box in your own fucking
words. You think meaning is a box?
You fucking idiot?
Meaning is the only fucking thing
you have when you have nothing. Meaning is the only fucking thing you have when you have
nothing. Meaning is
what you get from your encounter with the
sublime with the real. I ask my question.
If this is
higher some of you, we can stop, but I do have a
question.
I'm going to ask it unless you want to stop.
But the question is, and this is perhaps this is more of a subjective point.
But when I am confronted in the world with many
different principles that
that could constitute or
have the possibility
because I don't know and you don't know until
retrospectively when it
is victorious when the when the stronger
is victorious that the principle is true.
No, that's how you live. Don't fucking,
don't fucking, don't fucking put my name
in your mouth with your bitch-ass slave-like
fucking mentality. I'm going to wait to see
who's fucking stronger. Fuck, no,
I'm not. Fuck no, I'm not waiting to
see who's stronger. I'm in this bitch, motherfucker.
You think I have absolute motherfucker. You think I have
absolute certainty? You think I have
absolute fucking certainty that I'm not going to end up
dead in a ditch or in prison
for the rest of my fucking life? I am taking
that fucking risk. And guess what, motherfucker?
I'm doing it still. So don't
fucking project your bullshit on me and say that I, oh, we only know
retrospectively after the strongest wins out.
Really?
Did fucking Genghis Khan know he's going to come out on top?
Did fucking anyone know that they're going to come out on top until after they
fucking had the fucking balls to take the
first step. Get the fuck
out of here with that shit.
Fuck are you talking about? Don't project
that shit on me. Yeah, for
the slaves who have no
faith for the infidels
only after the stronger they...
Yeah, yeah, of course.
After the prophet finally fucking gained a following
and defeated all the fucking wicked-ass pagans of Arabia,
a lot of those pagans came on board.
Okay, he's strong.
Yeah, but what about the OGs?
Yeah, yeah. The same people,
the same, the same, the same, the same, the same Romans,
who killed Jesus, okay? Jesus
was a beggar, he was a nothing, he was
like a homeless guy, right? Then they killed
him, and then only when Christianity
became a power, only
when it became the power of Rome itself,
a lot of people, oh,
it became the dominant thing, I'm
going to follow it. Okay. But you're
discarding the OGs who were there
from day fucking one when there was
nothing.
The reason I asked that question was not out of
a position of slavery waiting to see who the
slave like no no no no let me explain the fact that you're allowed to talk to me is crazy
all right do you want to stop the conversation no i'm just saying it's very generous to me it's like i you're
literally like on the lowest this is like some ain't this is why there was cast systems in the past
by the way because this guy he's on the lowest cast so anyways i'm sitting among spiritual
cattle man it's disgusting these and i can So anyways, I'm sitting among these different principles.
It's disgusting.
And I can commit to a number of principles or my own principle.
And do you know, you, do you understand what this entails?
This entails a commitment
of life towards
things that are potentially
quite objectionable.
Lenin defended a rapist.
There was murder. Who was the rapist?
It was
uh, okay, drop that point. It was, uh, okay,
drop that point.
It was something I read.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Like,
what are you fucking mean?
No,
let's roll that back.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I don't recall the names of the history well enough,
but I think it was during the first or second RS, like, conference where there was the Bolshevik-Menshevik split.
Part of the reason there was that split was because Martov and the Menshevik sort of forming
proto-faction was mad that one of the women in the party had killed themselves
because one of the men in the party had raped her and the men that's why there was a Bolshevik
menshevik split what the fuck are you talking about it was part of the the surrounding context of it. It was colored it, certainly. It was part of it. But that is really unrelated to what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is extreme risk to my own life. There was no rape involved in that entire affair okay i i i understand
that it's important that you defend these historical consequences that's it's irrelevant
there was no rape there was no rape i was wrong rape i was wrong i. What rape are you talking about? I was wrong.
I was wrong. Don't fucking talk about Lenin
this way. Okay, I am a perennialist. That means
he's like a prophet to me. So
but but the get his name
out of your mouth when you're talking nonsense,
retard. Besides the
points of that,
you would at least agree
that it involves picking
a principle and dying for it and having
this confrontation with death
with your principal on your back.
This involves extreme risk
to yourself and a willingness when necessity calls to do objectionable things and violent things, right?
Objectionable according to who?
I mean, war is war.
Okay.
Is that not true?
Okay.
Well, if motherfuckers are out here,
being peaceful and living by their principles,
and people deign to strike them and lift a hand on them,
they have a right to
self-defense. I don't find
that objectionable whatsoever ever.
The prophet of the Islamic
religion went to war.
There's nothing objectionable
of what he did.
And it can't simply be self-defense.
It will be offensive, too.
No, name an instant.
You know what? There's no instance
in which it was predatory
and it wasn't self-defense.
Even Timmer didn't sack Dele as a purely
offensive thing.
What do you mean offense?
Give an example of what you're talking about.
Is this actually what we're going with that Gagis Khan was defending himself?
Great people throughout history in the pre-modern period.
They didn't just come out of fucking nowhere and just attack people for no reason as an offense because that's not what fucking happened.
There wasn't rating
and expansionism.
It was all defensive.
People like Genghis Khan and Tamerlane
came to power to put an
enter rating.
That's what they were coming
to put an end to
because that was
an endemic
it was an epidemic
of rating among the
nomads because there were
no fucking laws.
The motherfuckers doing
the rating that you're
talking about are not
remembered by history because they were fucking bums. It's the motherfuckers doing the rating that you're talking about are not remembered by history because they were fucking bums.
It's the motherfuckers that unified people under a common law and moral code that history remembers.
Yeah, there were plenty of bandits and nomads and bad motherfuckers that were doing that.
Nobody remembers who the fuck they were because they're a bunch of bums.
Punk-ass bitches that history doesn't remember.
So you are going to exclude the possibility of revolutionary excess, just wholesale. There's no such thing as access.
It's all self-defensive. You're defending the principle. I mean, we're talking about when the
Bolsheviks come to the point where they are controlling Moscow and large parts of Russia. These are state forces
that are moving blindly and thousands of men, millions of men moving across the country.
People...
What's the... What's... Something you can't control. What's your problem? To whatever extent they could control it, they control it.
Who are you blaming? That's like saying, you know, that's like blaming Jesus for Judas in a way. Like, what is your point?
The point is
I don't understand
and the reason why I said
that you're putting all of these different
traditions and principles in a box
and I was bothered by that.
I'm not putting them in a box. Stop saying that. No, no. Okay.
You were saying that there's
residences and there's an essential
familiarity between them. Resonance.
Resonance. There's resonance.
The reason I have an issue with this is that there are multiple things that I see in the world that have resonances.
And this is why you're a perennialist, I assume, that you see Islam has resonances with Christianity.
I think you don't have moral clarity.
The reason you have this kind of schizophrenic inability to distinguish poop in the toilet from a noble, great revolutionary agon. What has resonance and what does...
The reason you're, like, mish-mashing and conflating all these things
is because you lack moral clarity.
You just don't have an understanding of right and wrong.
I don't think any...
You're the type of rhetoric
who's going to be like, what is right
and what is wrong? Like, it just doesn't
fucking hit you like lightning.
And, you know
what? I find that incredibly corrupt
and decadent.
Because it's what... Everyone has it in them, knows what right incredibly corrupt and decadent. Because everyone
has it in them
knows what right and wrong is, right?
The motherfucker's sitting here
trying to overthink it to find
loopholes and get away with wickedness.
You're just a bad motherfucker. Just say that.
This is, you're just a bad person. You're just a bad motherfucker. Just say that.
This is,
you're just a bad person.
You're sitting here trying to find loopholes
and fucking ignore
your God-given
moral clarity
and think about
loopholes.
I want,
I want some kind of criteria or ability to compare.
You want a Luciferian certainty in something that you can only have faith in.
That's what you're saying.
I mean, derogatorily, Luciferian. I wouldn't say it's Luciferian.
Absolutely.
I think that's the very problem
with these principles.
Hold on. What's the story of the devil?
Why did he get kicked out of heaven? Do you know?
The Luciferian, actual
Luciferianism is creating a principle without having
knowledge. I'm not creating anything. Why did, why did, no, that's not what happened,
though. Why did Lucifer get kicked out of heaven? Or Satan?
I'm not... I'm not arguing about
Lucifer. I could explain it, you know?
The rebellion against God. I'm explaining to why you're a
Satanist. I'm explained to why you're Satanist.
Satan wanted to put himself in the
place of God. He wanted to be God.
Well, there's a better story. The real story is that God commanded all the angels and all the
Jin to bow before Adam. But according to the existing, you know, propositional axiomatic logic that Satan thought he had mastered,
you know, the Jin are made of fire.
Fire is a more spiritual element than clay.
It's higher on the ladder of the kind of cosmic hierarchy of, you know, forms of matter in their proximity to the divine, right?
So he's made of fire.
Adam is made of clay.
Why would I bow to Adam?
He's made of clay.
So by, by true.
So, so Satan was not satisfied
with faith. Because when God said
bow to Adam,
that was supposed to speak to a
kind of faith, you know?
Not just a trust in God's authority and his command.
But in we're not dealing with God's authority and his command. But we're not dealing
with God's commands. We're dealing with
the American Communist Party led by the
executive board. Are you guys God?
That has nothing to do with the analogy,
though. Because in this and that, nobody
mentioned the Communist Party.
Hey, shut it.
But your analogy just doesn't work.
You're a fucking retard, and I'm sick of
your voice. Take clouding up mine
when I'm trying to talk.
Just shut the fuck up.
Nobody mentioned Haas or the Communist Party being God in this analogy.
What I talked about was moral clarity.
You don't have an innate sense of moral clarity.
Now, could I entertain the possibility that you do have one that's just distinct from
mine? I could. I'm going on a limb here saying you have none at all. You demand certainty
of something that you could only have faith in. Now, I'm not claiming to be God and trying to define
what that faith should look like for you. I'm just communicating what it looks like for me.
Okay. Now, you're saying, but you're not just saying, I don't find that compelling, Haas. I can't see where
you're coming from. If you would just say that, I'd be like, okay, fine, I don't know what to tell you.
What you're saying is that I have no right to do this. What you're saying is that I have no justification.
What you're saying is that I, because I lack
the certainty that, you know, that would satisfy
your criteria,
you know, that whatever. I'm saying,
I'm arguing, true
moral clarity comes from faith.
It doesn't come from certainty.
It's a Luciferian satanic notion that you want the certainty,
because the only people who want certainty are the ones who want to have loopholes.
The people who are conflicted and don't know and can't tell what's right from what's wrong are lying to themselves
maybe could be could could very well be lying to themselves and they often are maybe they have a
mental disability.
But everyone has a moral clarity.
I'm going out on a limb and fucking saying that.
If I didn't have that assumption, I wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone.
Like, I don't need to talk to motherfuckers about why you shouldn't beat grandmas to death.
For example, I don't need to redidify a propositional.
I don't fucking need to do that.
If you find yourself needing to do that, you probably want to beat up some grandmas. You probably want
to search for a fucking loophole in which that would be possible. Well, it's too bad because
the entire thing comes from faith. Anyway, go ahead. Now I can hear your voice after the light of reason has prevailed.
I think going to beating grandma is a lot different than join the Communist Party.
I'm not demanding you do that.
I'm not saying you have to join the Communist Party. I'm just telling you why I'm not demanding you do that. I'm not saying you have to join the Communist Party.
I'm just telling you why I'm a communist.
I'm not saying that you're immoral if you don't join my party.
I'm saying that your critique of me is from a position of having no moral clarity at all.
Like you're a fucking robot redditor, like that Reddit robot.
No, my critique is that you're meeting people and where is this all going?
And that's your issue because people see what I'm seeing, and you don't.
Well, no, you do, but you're lying and coping to yourself about it.
That's what I've gotten from, like, the entire reason you're arguing with it right now is because you do see where we're all coming from, but you demand that we be certain in terms of some kind of like axiomatic propositional logic or something. You're demanding that we say, you know, well, why, why, why, like, everyone, everyone, like, you, you don't
you can't tell the difference
in your own words
between these
great meaningful events
throughout history
Jesus
it could be other
religious events
could be something else
and you're saying
well how do I know
I mean how can we say that these disparate things,
Moses and Jesus, how do we know Moses and Jesus have a resonance, which they do in Christianity?
So we're still within Christianity, right? How do we know Jesus and Moses have a resonance? What about having a resonance with poop in the toilet? Well, I just told you that the reason why you don't have a clarity or understanding of why certain things have a privileged resonance is because you lack moral clarity because you see things flat
one dimensionally is all the same because you probably have a worldview where everything
is subordinating to an understanding which is fixated on like like, playing video games, or, I don't know, like consuming or something.
And you just can't even bring yourself to think about the meaningfulness of anything outside of that.
I think you've blunted something very naturally human in the rest of us.
And I don't know what to tell you. I think you're doing it on purpose just to prove that you can, which you absolutely can, but you should be responsible for your position. That's all I'm saying. Be responsible. You're like blunting the very human quality we have within ourselves to have a moral clarity and moral compass. And you're, you know, you're instead saying, well, nothing exists. How can I know and how can I this and how can I? It's like, okay, but that's the path you're taking. Like, be
responsible for it. Okay. That's you. That's a you thing. That's not a me thing. That's
entirely a youth. You're the one who's making a problem out of that. There's no problem here.
So,
so if there is,
if there is no, okay, so if we share
morality, then, okay so if we share morality then and say we don't it doesn't matter to me but how how you can you how can you explain why someone should join your party if you're not appealing to some moral basis to that
okay let me give an example at a man a man who has a chapter in his area should join the communist
party and not just sit around on Reddit or whatever.
Okay, for example, let me explain why it's a flawed reasoning you're using.
And it's very simple.
If I say, let's say I said something stupid, like join the Communist Party if you want to make real change in this country.
Something I could justify and defend.
I could, absolutely.
But it's like, well, how can you be certain that people inherently want change in this country?
And it's like, you see see this is a context that we can
assume as given which is pre-established by the conditions we live in right and it's like you're
you want you want to deny that the justification for for people's compulsion to want to
change things and say well why why do you want to change things right and it's like you're
mixing causes here the cause of why people want to change things isn't because they took the wrong
path on the
Petterast philosophical
pontification Greek school of
fucking farting, you know?
It's used
a term you like farting.
It's because of real meaning,
it's because of a shared horizon of meaningfulness.
When I tell people a random fucking person, we need to make some real change in this country.
You know, I'm communicating within a shared horizon of meaningfulness.
You know that people see, you know what, things are going wrong in this country,
things are abnormal, things are dysfunctional, they're just not working, regardless of how you
ideologically interpret that. And there's a meaningfulness there that I don't need to preempt
or justify with axioms or with whatever you're looking for.
And we can absolutely take that for granted. When we're talking about why people should join the Communist Party, we have to rely on things like that, but we can absolutely take
them for granted. Because we cannot create the conditions of the shared meaningfulness of the
horizon of language and communication. We cannot impose a framework of shared meaningfulness all we can do is respond to the one we already have
but this is like i can't i can't i i mean we're not getting any further because
a million people come up and say we need to change
okay I could justify
why it's buzzwords in American politics
we need to change change change
Obama didn't I just dude you're actually in American politics. We need to change, change, change.
Obama said change.
Dude, you're actually stupid. It's like, didn't I just tell you that I could actually justify why the Communist Party uniquely, uniquely could make
real change in this country compared to all the others.
Didn't I tell you that?
That I could justify that if you wanted me to?
So if you want to challenge me to do that, I'd be happy to.
But I feel like it's irrelevant to your point.
Yeah, I mean, it would be like a pitch to join second baptist church i mean that's basically what it would be it'd be some kind of messianic vision for this country and how you can actualize it you know you say, but let's go to the meat and potatoes of what I'm actually saying
or what my party is actually saying.
All we're saying is that if we band together under a principle in which the common good
is supreme, without necessarily having a sanction in support of the
hegemony and build something from scratch, relying only on the laurels of what the American
working class is capable of, free from the corruption of the ruling class and and actually having the freedom and the ability to articulate in practice, functionally, organizationally and practically the values and principles that that the american people and the american people
wish to see reflected in politics which is impossible if you're working
under the hegemony
you know that it is possible it's absolutely possible if the if the american working class
bands together and its collective power, could it change this country however it wanted to? Absolutely it could. If the Communist Party, if people acquiesce to a principle of collective organization and join the Communist Party.
Let's say thousands of people joined our party.
Let's say tens of thousands of people.
Could we really, really, really fucking make some real changes in this country?
Absa fucking lulli we could.
And that's not superstitious to say that we absolutely fucking could
if we had tens of thousands of people in our party are you kidding do you know what significance
would be interpreted from our ability to win local elections on a mass scale in this country.
Do you know how much that would send shockwaves and move the needle and change the fucking conversation in this country in a direction that gets almost everyone taking communism seriously
and taking it seriously as a real
force that is possible within
U.S. politics, we would be proving
the possibility of a type of politics
nobody has ever considered
possible in U.S. history. And it
is possible.
There's nothing messianic or
superstitious about saying that.
It absolutely is possible.
But it's on us to make it fucking happen.
And it will go no further
than our efforts. I'm not claiming
there's going to be magical intervention
from the stars or from God.
It's going to come on us. We're going to
have to make it fucking happen. We can make
it happen.
But it's
going to go no further than our efforts.
We're going to get what we put in.
So what's so messianic and superstitious about that?
Oh, I understand why.
It's the fact that even what I just described,
even what I just communicated,
has so much powerful, like, symbolic resonance with genuinely revolutionary movements across history, where people had nothing. They were going against all odds, but all they were doing is having the courage to defy the powers that be, that it does feel like it's messianic.
It does feel world historical.
It does feel like it reflects something deeper.
You know, I could say probably everyone in the party probably feels that on some level that there's a bigger world
historical significance to what we're doing and yet all we're doing is something radically
simple from the perspective of common sense but that's how everything comes into being in history
it's also radically simple. It's never an extraordinary
magician promising tricks. It's also radically simple. The things that actually miraculously
change history and move mountains. It's also radically simple.
It just takes some courage.
Take some integrity.
It takes some courage.
That's what leadership looks like.
I'm trying to think of why I have an issue with this and at a certain point it's just like I don't trust that this can succeed and that's a problem of faith on my part. I think that is even if it fails that would be a step
in the right direction
because even if it fails
a future communist party
and movement
would be able to draw
concrete lessons
for how to do it
better next time
I mean it's possible at that point it's just next time.
I mean, it's possible.
At that point, it's just contingent. But I won't waste any more of your time, because as I reflect on it, it is just a lack of
faith that this can actually actualize.
Okay, forget this. Forget this.
Tell me what you could have faith in.
Maybe ask the question of whether you're just a faithless
person. I'm all ears. Maybe I'll quit the party and join
whatever you're talking about. Tell me what you could have faith in.
And maybe I'll quit the ACP and join that.
I'm not inviting you to anything, but I have moved.
You know, it's a figure of speech, though.
I have moved in the direction of a Christian faith and belief in Jesus Christ.
Why? Why are you putting Jesus in a box with 2026, though, right? Because it's a different time. And how can you claim that you can understand
Jesus' message, even though it came from a radically different context in time? How do you,
how can you claim to know what Jesus was talking about? There's no way you can relate it to your
existing world and existence.
What I meant in trying to say that there are differences between these things is that the gospel has a uniqueness to it.
It says that no one is going to come to the Father
except through Jesus Christ, right?
You know what's so wicked about you
and even disgusting?
Is that for hours in the discord
you are preaching about how only nothingness
exists. Everything's a fart in the wind.
There's only nothing.
And the only thing,
and the only thing that exists,
and the only thing that exists,
yeah, exactly.
Rape, everyone, everyone,
everyone is motivated by the desire
and lust for rape and murder.
That's what you said.
And now you're talking about how you're a Christian.
And now we, no, no, no.
You're taking one statement on human anthropology writ large as a statement on everyone.
I believe that with Christianity and with the gospel and with placing our faith in Christ
what a stupid, what a stupid backtracker doing?
So you're claiming that man only wants to rape and kill, right?
But that there is a principle that, that, you know, that brings man to his higher self.
How can there be a higher self within your framework, though?
What is the higher self not the problem is that it's not
the political it is the church it is the faith community it is the eucharist that is what is bringing
us to a higher principle not is what is the church what is the church
the church what's the church i'm discerning i'm discerning but i feel compelled by orthodoxy um
and i'm looking at Catholicism but I
have my questions about
Catholicism. Why is the Russian Orthodox Church
loyal to the Soviet and Russian state?
That to me is kind of a hard question to answer because there's a lot in the new testament that speaks about the dangers of worldly powers and the distrust of the empire you know what I think your real religion is?
It's hypocrisy.
That's what I think it is.
I think you want to exist in this world
and cope with yourself
that you have developed this framework
that can account for why you're such a shitty person who's doing
so many shitty ugly things and say, well, this is because I'm a fallen man, but my spiritual
side is pure. And you don't want to have any responsibility for your existence in this world,
or the existence of your neighbors for that matter. If you saw your neighbors getting gunned down and slaughtered well at least their souls are slaves what a perfect excuse what an eternally perfect excuse every fucking bad, wicked,
disgusting thing
in this world,
you actually
can justify
as holy and
good because
this is God's
plan to make
us all into
rapist,
murdering
animals, but if
we put our
hands together in
this way,
and if we
say a few
words and
recite a few words, and I guess
we put ourselves mentally in a certain kind of psychological state, we're somehow saving ourselves
from our actual existence.
It doesn't sound like a single fucking thing
that has even a fucking
even less than one percent common
with anything Jesus was talking about
while he was here
you really think that... It Sounds like a really hideous,
evil, disgusting
outlook made by pedophiles
to justify their rape
of the world.
I mean,
it is true that this is just a difference, I think, because you have a strong Muslim background.
I think that your position is not simply, it's not simply a way to like reconcile with the innate evil
event. I think it endangers evil.
I think you know what? It makes so much sense
what you're saying. This is why Groypers
are disgusting pedophiles and
inherently sadistic evil people.
Because they see this
as a sanction and as a warrant to be beasts to be subhumans
and they say well the hypocrisy for them is totally fine but what you're failing to understand is
the extraordinary evil that corresponds. It's not
just the ordinary evil. You're
falsely ascribing man.
It's an
extraordinary, hideous, disgusting
evil.
And you take no
responsibility for it and you're 100% responsible for it.
God didn't fucking make you this way. You made yourself this way.
I felt what you're describing, I felt much more strongly and palpably when I was a communist.
Just to be frank.
I felt like Christianity is what actually could allow me to take responsibility for myself
and not just pass blame and pass blame and scapegoat and scapego and
think of these abstract ideas of why i'm working towards some higher end by doing this and
that to be honest the hideous evil is what i felt when I was a communist.
That doesn't surprise me at all.
You felt hideous evil because it was your disposition already,
and now you just justify your hideous evil openly.
That's great.
I don't want to justify it.
I want to improve myself because I do think I'm a fallen man and I am imperfect.
Really?
What did you say in the Discord that when shit pops off or if shit pops off in America, you want to start a fief in Montana and
ignore all the, all your compatriots getting slaughtered and raped and tortured and you just want to
look fat for yourself.
I was kind of joking with you because I don't think what your like civil war scenario
is I don't think this is. Okay well let's say one does happen
what's your plan?
How's the church can save us?
Frankly
we have this idea
in the
Western church speaks about
the Ordo of Morris, so you have to
account for yourself and then
your family and then your community.
So all of the things you're doing
and have the pretense to do, which is taking
responsibility for your community,
this is what the church traditionally did.
And I think that is also a form of community.
I mean, in a lot of ways, you can look at Lenin as a figure similar to like St. Paul,
building these different party cells, St. Paul building these different party
cells just like Paul built these different
churches and they're in a network
and a community that
can move to a higher
and higher level.
You know?
But what I hesitate from is the political and the desire to warden people.
How is that not inherently political in a Civil War scenario?
You don't think that's inherently political?
I don't think it's political, no.
You don't think it's inherently political for people to organize an armed body for self-defense that exerts power and dominion over territories to protect people?
Because I'm not a Christian nationalist, and I don't think that these self-defensive
militias should rule over the country at some point or rule over a territory.
Well, they would have to to defend people
from getting brutalized and attacked and slaughtered.
I mean, now we're just like writing fan fiction,
but I would hope that the church community would get together, and I believe in the separation of powers, that they would create a government that is not literally a...
Oh, so they would create a fallen government motivated by rape and murder, but it would be okay because it would be separate, right?
Because the worldly, according to you, has fallen.
But this is the whole thing. This is the hypocrisy.
I don't want to, you know, look, you can say I'm a Muslim or this or that.
I consider myself a truth seeker. I don't want anything to fucking do with any kind of church
that justifies the evil in this world in any kind of fucking way.
Simple as that.
It doesn't justify the evil.
Absolutely it does.
When you're saying that,
when you're saying you don't have to take responsibility for the world
and that the world is inherently fallen and that politics
and all these other things you should just
get on your knees and put your hands together
and pray to the sky. When you're fucking saying
shit like that, you are absolutely
giving your okay and you're
winking at the rapists and murderers
of the world
to do whatever they fucking
want
that is not what I'm doing what I am doing
well objectively it is
and I have no sympathy with it at all
if your understanding of religion was correct, you would be able to convert people like me,
but all I have is disgust from what you're talking about.
Total disgust.
I don't have a dogma that preempts me from having an open mind to a truly
correct position. What you're talking about is fucking disgusting and really ugly.
Because of the nature of the fallen world, when you make yourself an axiom, when you basically Catholicize yourself.
Nobody's making anyone an axiom.
You proceed and you lead a movement and you have a principle.
Okay, I perceive and I lead.
Okay, I lead a movement. Okay, I perceive and I lead, okay,
I lead a movement.
And you involve your self.
You involve your self.
Demms me as sinful.
That's,
that's,
that's not what I'm saying.
So because I lead a movement,
I'm the same as a rapist and a murder.
I literally am not saying that. I literally am not saying that.
I'm literally not saying that.
You didn't let me finish.
I'm saying that everyone is born as a child as a baby
and they don't find themselves as a baby being Diddy or Epstein.
There is a series of conditions that they find themselves in in a fallen society that makes them...
You know what the ultimate fallenness is? Hypocrisy. Hyp Hypocracy is the ultimate kind of fallenness.
You throw yourself into the society and you find yourself in whatever position fate has you in.
And if you are worldly and obsessed with the world and obsessed with moving up in the world.
Which is only possible if the spiritual
side of things is separated from
the world and exactly the way you advocate
for.
If you put the world into two
neat little categories, the spiritual and
the worldly.
Nobody does that better than your position.
Nobody does it better than your position.
There's a city of God and a city of man, yeah, I do. Okay, well, the city of man is according to you.
The ditties, you know, that's just because there's a fallen world.
Well, maybe if the city of God and the city of man were combined, we wouldn't have ditties.
And that's exactly where I'm like, you think that you can do that.
You can be the messianic
guy. You can be Christ and create a new Jerusalem.
This is where I used to talk about this messian. Why would I have to be Christ to
prevent ditties from running around? Couldn't I just be a decent
human being?
Yes, yes. We should try and create as much order and justice as
there is in the world. But
as you acknowledge, the hegemony
has certain limitations
that you run up against because the hegemony
is a complex of all of these different fallen people submit to ditty
do not don't submit to it but yeah yeah yeah you're either submitting to it or you're fighting back against it there's no
fucking middle ground you submit to it or you're fighting back against it. There's no fucking middle ground. You submit to it
or you're a revolutionary. And there's no middle ground. So don't weasel your way out of that.
Submit to Diddy Epstein or fight back. Your version of revolutionary
is dominated. Become the new
dominating force. Absolutely.
That's what it fucking is. And you're weaseling your
way out of the responsibility for
who is dominating.
Who is the authority?
Responsibility for authority.
Any hegemony is going to have a rancid, heinous elite.
Okay.
And therefore you submit to the one we already have.
So take responsibility for it and fucking own it like it's yours.
Because I own what's mine.
I'll take and own what's mine, motherfucker.
I take responsibility that we live in a tragic.
I'll own up.
I'll own up.
I'll own up to the ACP. You own up to Diddy and Epstein. How about that? Yep, that's a tragedy. That is a tragedy. We live in a tragic world. You own up to your tragedy. Own up to your tragedy because I'm owning up to ACP and what I'm about.
I own up to it.
You live in a rom-com comic world where there's a little inciting incident at the start,
but then it all ends well because you can do it.
You're Superman.
You're Stalin the God.
And it's all going
to be better again. And that's not how
human anthropology works. It's not
how it is in the following world. You're the expert on human anthropology.
And we supposedly
we have to be gods just to
fucking have like basic balls and dignity.
Right? But in any case...
You can only be responsible for yourself.
You can jibber in so many ways to just say you're a pathetic pussy who submits to Epstein and Ditty, but I don't respect it at all.
As you can only be responsible for yourself
at the end of the day you're responsible for one and why have a church
because that has a divine tradition
is god is god heading your church directly
can I talk to God at your church you can talk to God at your church?
You can talk to God, I believe.
At your church? I can go in your church and he'll talk to me and boom through the ceiling.
It would be a private revelation and it happens.
But the public revelation now, you're talking to God is that what you're saying
Jesus you can pray
do you not hear anything when you pray ever
you're not here intuition God is that what you're saying
you've been talking to God recently silence you're not here intuition. Is that what you're saying?
You've been talking to God recently?
Silence.
So schizophrenic is talking.
Like Jesus Christ, dude.
Fuck are we even talking about anymore?
Like God has been talking to you?
Is that what you're saying?
He's been talking to you?
This isn't going to go anywhere, so I think I think I'm going to... No, admit it. Say what you think.
Because you accused all this bullshit of me saying that I think I'm a Messiah and I'm Jesus
and I'm talking to God and I'm God. You're literally saying God talk to you.
Yeah, I pray and I ask God questions
and I receive like strong intuitions of what I should do.
It's not like there's a voice in my head,
but I just pray and I really ask God questions and I do feel like I get answers.
I mean, a lot of Christians, if you want to be a communist party for
the United
States
a lot of
Christians will
say the same
thing
didn't they
don't know
if that's
not a
Muslim
didn't
let me ask
you a
question
since you're
so obsessed
with certainty
what about
Descartes
question
what if
it's a demon you're talking to? How would you know?
See, the difference between you and I is that when you have a principle, you are going to maximize it and universalize it as much as you can.
I only ask questions that pertain
to myself and my own... I know, but how do you know
it's God and not Satan?
I have to have faith.
I have faith. I have a principle.
I don't like you, but it's different.
What?
No, now you have faith. When God talks to you directly, you have faith, right?
There's no more doubt that you could possibly be misled by your own stupidity.
It must be God telling you all these things, right?
That much you're certain of because of faith.
I mean, but when we have,
when we have,
you can do the Richard Dawkins like it's all a delusion.
No, I'm using your own reasoning against you.
That's all I'm doing.
I mean, does,
I suppose actually that you have at some level claim that you as the Communist Party are also
receiving some kind of divine intuition
or have a resonance with that or are trying to have a resonance with that
or are trying to have a resonance with that.
I suppose that's what you would think as well.
I think I would say that God is talking to me.
That's not what I'm saying,
but you do feel that you're
participating and you have an
intuition of what's right
and you're acting according to
what is right and moral. Let's go back to the original point.
You said you can only be responsible
for yourself as an individual.
And I said, well, why have a church?
And you say, well, the church is where God is.
And clearly that's not true directly.
Okay? It's just not.
A church has to be organized by human beings in a collective manner.
Which, it's so stupid, because if we talk about the anthropology, which is what you love, the word you love, and where the churches have you originally formed, like in the beginning, they were pretty indistinguishable from communist parties.
And they were absolutely not guided by
a principle of you can only be responsible
for yourself. No, you have to be responsible
for the community. That was the ethos
that guided the early
You have to be responsible for the church, right? You're in the church.
No, you're responsible for the community, which means...
You know what that meant?
At the end of the day, that meant you have to be responsible for whether there's poor people and starving people and needy people.
And you have to be responsible for the vulnerable and you have to be responsible for justice and you have to be responsible for the vulnerable and you have to be responsible for justice
and you have to be responsible
of course, all of those
society you live in. That's what it meant.
But none of those are the
political. You're talking about
what it was. That's how absolutely
it was. How's how absolutely it was.
How the fuck do you think Christianity became the state religion?
I mean, if you went and talked to St. Paul and you asked him, do you think that this Christianity is, do you think the Roman emperor will embrace this Christianity?
I don't think he would say he would.
I don't think it was a miracle. It was something that could not have been.
Many of the early Christians
were literally waging guerrilla war against Rome.
Like in North Africa.
The Donatus? I mean, yeah, there was Christians
that had a more
zealous and kind of more
Judaic. So don't say there was no political dimension it's just fucking made up
the gospel doesn't say
it doesn't need to say what self-evident he doesn't need to say what's self-evident.
I mean, I know that you guys have sort of worked on this kind of like communist Christianity thing with Michael Hudson as like the kind of architect of it but
all of that's quite
dubious to me that it
was always seeking to be a communist
party and do a revolution in Rome
I don't know if it was like that
I think that's absolutely what it was
I think Jesus Christ oh my no no dude's Christ no think that's absolutely what it was. I think Jesus
Christ. Oh my, no, no, no, dude.
That's literally what it was. It's like,
it's so like, it's so like there's such,
you have to be coping so much if you actually read what was going on.
That's literally what was going. It was literally
a revolutionary movement. On's literally what was going. It was literally a revolutionary movement
on top of the status quo.
Okay. Just explain. And it was co-opted
like later, but originally that's
exactly what it fucking was.
So how co-opted? Are you going to say
that like the stories in the gospel
like that's where I'm going to go? Do you think those stories are co-opted? No, but what I think happened is that it became co-opted to no longer be about debt forgiveness, which is what it was originally about.
Of course,
it was couched in the language
that made sense at the time.
But in reality,
like,
this was what it was at stake.
This is what made it so meaningful for people.
Like it had weight.
There was a meaningfulness.
When they said the end times are now,
it's like that was a revolutionary era.
It meant something.
Yes, it was couched in the language of the time they lived in.
But it was absolutely a communist movement.
But you know that in the time
they lived in, I mean, right after
the time of Christ, 40 years later
the temple was burned down because
there was a messianic leader,
a Jewish messianic leader,
who proposed a revolution against
Rome, right. All of
this happened, right? So they did
have the ability to express
a revolution. Christianity wasn't a
strictly Jewish revolution. It was
a universal revolution
of all of Rome.
That's why it was in Egypt.
It was in North Africa with the Donatus.
They didn't want to confine it to the Judea and the Jews.
Of course, of course. Christianity is universal.
I agree with that.
But is it a universal?
Is it like Islam? Is it the
Dara al-Islam? Universal
Revolution caliphate?
I don't think so. I don't think that
that is what the gospel is talking about.
The gospel didn't need to talk about that.
The Christians wanted to emancipate themselves from debt and the rule of the Roman creditor classes. That's absolutely the context that define the
meaningfulness of the word of the gospel.
So then why is it written that Christ is being taken up to Calvary Hill
and there's this risk that he's going to be arrested
and, you know, his apostle Peter takes out his sword
and he's like I'll defend you and he cuts off
one of the priest's ears
and then Christ says no
let them take me
what do you think that is trying to
Because Christ was a martyr
who wanted to give a message
to all of the people of Rome
because he was a martyr, okay?
That's your explanation
I think we're all called to bear our cross and be martyrs
which is different than to
actualize a political
religious communist empire
during the beginning of the
Arab Spring in Tunisia
was a guy
who set himself on fire.
Why did he do that?
It's more than merely, Christ christ teaching is more than merely him being a martyr
his ministry is is is is the most important part he thought that such was the gravity and weight
of the injustice of what was happening to them that if it happened it would communicate a message more powerful than if he would have tried to resist the outcome
and why don't we all followed that example he exposed and revealed the truth of the entire rotten order within which he lived.
So why don't we follow that example rather than proceed in the manner that's a lot similar?
Because it's been exposed already.
The American people don't need to be convinced that we have bankrupt, that we have no moral authority ruling us anymore.
The government itself is admitting that. All right.
At this point, I'm getting pretty tired and I will go, but I'll think about this.
I mean, you really were quite patient with me, and I really appreciate it.
And I think there's value for a lot of people in listening to this, but it was a good talk.
I'm going to go. This guy This guy's telling me to start a Twitter space at 2 a.m.
Starts with it.
Why don't you fucking send me a 20 motherfucker?
This is how much I...
I'm about this community.
I'll talk to a fucking idiot for three hours.
To try and save someone from going down a retarded path.
Hmm. Uh, Yeah, the E-religion shit is just, oh my god.
Yo, Tess, what's up?
Yo, Kyle, what's going on, bro?
Thanks for the five.
Appreciate you, bro.
Yo, dictator, what's up, bro?
Appreciate the five. What's up bro how my feeling um uh jiverling, what's up, bro? Appreciate you. You know, uh, I a feeling very sheite feeling very sheite feeling very sheite because it's like
you know i i'm not i i i'm an open-minded person. If I am presented with a superior spiritual position, I'll basically say, I'll take that up.
But, you know, that was not it that was really not it there's another person in the show queue Okay, let's bring them up.
Why can I not bring, I'll move them to show.
Yo, what's up?
Hi, can you hear me?
No. no like really
yeah really i can't
but go ahead
so the people in the discord chat told me
to make the claim
well i'm supposed to i'm supposed to kind of defend the German national Bolshevik tradition,
which is sort of misleading. I'm just, are you familiar with Anne Snikish?
Yes.
So my claim is that he had some ideas what you say
i was saying he was a lip-dard
and sneakish is a lip-tard
yeah he was a lip-tard
why would you say that a lip-tard? Yeah, he was a libtard.
Why would you say that?
Because he had problems with the USSR for
libtard reasons.
It's like almost indistinguishable
from like a retard like sart.
Damn. From what I've heard, like,
he was very much
like pro-Lennon, he was
for the German-Russian
unification and I think that had some
he was against Stalin.
Yeah.
Well...
Basu was a little lip-torn.
Are you sure we talking about
Ant Sneakish? This does not sound like him, to be honest.
Yeah, that was him.
Well, that's disappointing
anyways.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, that was like the whole thing
I wanted to know what your opinion on and
sneakish was but like if we're talking about his strategy at least in the I think that in
the 20s in the Weimar Republic I think that he had a very rational strategy don't you
think like allying with the more conservative parts of the German society
and not align with the usual Marxists that were in...
If you gave the KPD an extra five or ten years, they would have been perfect.
I mean, he was part of the KPD.
When the KPD and the, right before the Nazis took power,
the KPD had started getting their shit together
but it's this
blame the Social Democrats, it's all I could say
the KPD
they had the perfect strategy
but they took them too much
time to fucking learn
Marxism
Leninism, right? So, by the time they had it down, They had it completely fine.
I understand. I just think that what Nikish writes about the faults of the
Marxist and the SPD, for example, the fact that they did not want to
claim the nation, I think he's right on that.
I think he was very correct on the fact that Marxists have to claim the nation.
Yeah, that's kind of an abstraction, you know, because what the national bolsheviks were talking about
in uh that the before the 20s the 20s what they were talking about is the continuity of the german state
under the you you know, from World War I, right? So, according to this logic, there was no notion of a complete, total breaking of the state machine and, like know german soviet republic that was set that
that was not considered national national was qualified as the state institution
yeah i think that's true i think that's what he writes about what
well i read his critique of the marxist indiaism from the perspective of maintaining
germany's continuity of of state imperial strategy under its existing bureaucracy or whatever.
And it wasn't really a revolutionary outlook, and that was the problem.
What would have been a revolutionary outlook, would you say?
Smashing the state and building the German state from scratch on maybe a basis of a Soviet model or some other kind of model.
But there would have had to been a revolution,
not continuity with the state.
Like when I say not continuity with the state,
I mean like,
you can't lay hold of the ready-made state machine,
you have to completely create a new center of power like happened in russia russia
had soviet power right yes so there would have needed to be a new principle of state power in
germany now would that have had to have been national? Yeah,
of course. But
that's not what the national Bolsheviks
meant by national.
I understand.
I just think that his strategy,
compared to what he describes as the Marxist of the SPD, and he describes them as these people that wanted to abolish the nation as it is. Now, I'm not sure if he's completely right about his diagnosis.
But from what I've read from his writings, it sounds... There's no understanding of how a nation can be preserved outside the nation state
until Stalin, quote unquote, Stalinism became orthodoxy.
Stalinism is what, you know, made orthodox the notion that's, no nations are materially real.
They're not reducible to the existing state apparatus.
They have a history and an existence beyond that.
But from a lot of people, the distinction was not clear.
I think that's a fair point. Yeah.
I think that's a fair point.
Right. So that's really what I would say.
Well,
still... Anyway,
I don't want to...
So, back to what I was saying, I'm
feeling like very Shiite
because... because you know, um, Um,
I'll say on Christianity, there's something I saw that I really liked.
I saw it on X.
And it was from a right-wing Christian.
And they were condemning the murder of that Nicole Good by ICE.
And then someone said, you know, your Christ worship will be your downfall.
And then he replies and he goes, so be it.
And, you know, I, that was such like a badass response like I actually respected that so much
so be it
you know there's something really beautiful about that.
You know, the ancient Egyptians, during the afterlife, they'd weigh your heart.
And if it weighed more than a feather, you'd be denied entry.
And it's like, the real principle and source of moral authority in this world, which is nothing more than the integral whole, right?
It weighs less than the feather you know that's the real soul from the from the ancient perspective the soul is what gives us a connection to cosmos cosmos is the integral whole now and all of that together weighs less than a feather
which means you may be poor you may have, and you may be going up against overwhelming
odds, right? But it's like, when you were forced to make a choice, like, Hussein, you know,
to... a choice like Hussein, you know, to take upon yourself the decision that you know is going to end in doom, right? But is the only thing you can do to maintain this lightness, you know, this connection to this
principle, this heavenly principle, this cosmic principle.
And you go up against all the powers of the world with all their wealth and all their weight and all their might.
For that.
And what you're doing is you're asserting something that all of that put together is less than a feather, you know?
And I just, I find that very compelling.
To be unfazed by power, to have this belief that, you know, all the wealth and might of the world has very, very small, humble origins, a spark that exists in all mankind.
And if you were forced in a position to choose between devotion to that and life, that you go in islam jesus comes back because that's what Jesus represents. He's the spiritual. He represents the spiritual side of things. But in a way, you know, spiritual can be understood as the kind of the concrete within Marxism in a way.
Spiritual weighs less.
In Marxism, the concrete weighs less than the abstract.
Remember that.
The abstract weighs more.
The concrete is a kind of principle.
It's a processual relational logic behind the abstract in a way, right?
So... right so but the perspective of the person who came on it's like i can't respect it i can't respect the notion of dividing the meaningfulness of the world into these different boxes.
Everything should be meaningful, you know?
You can't just say that there's the sacred and there's the secular.
I don't believe in that.
I believe history is sacred. I think everything is sacred. Anyway, can you do all this started from astrology?
This is what all this started from.
You know, I, I dare to say that i believed in astrology and then
i this is the this is the consequence of that um... um... I guess all the things I wanted to talk about, I at it from like a Christian convert perspective.
I thought he was like a Reddit nihilus.
So when he was objecting to like my perennialism,
um,
does he represent Christianity in that?
This kind of hostility toward unifying things and wanting to put everything in like separate
you know
maintain the the separateness
of these
because I think everything is one thing
you know
and is that just like a Muslim thing
if If so, maybe Islam is just correct.
Like, fuck, man.
What are you going to fucking believe in when you're,
when you've got nothing but fucking courage and faith in destiny?
What are you gonna fucking believe in? like Like, you know, um...
I don't know. I, um...
I do think it's absolutely fucking hypocritical to just divide the spiritual and the material in this way. I just do. I think it's hypocritical. I think it's hypocritical. And maybe that's just an Islamic perspective, but I think it's hypocrisy.
And, you know, I don't think that the world is inherently bad or fallen or sinful. I think we have to have the courage of accepting this world and accepting our existence within this world and doing what's right in this world.
However violent, I mean, not in the literal sense, I guess, whatever, but like, however stormy,
you know, however, however angry that looks, I don't see the, I don't see this
anger as a bad thing, you know, I see it as, as the most fundamental dignity you could have, you know?
And it's like he was basically saying, well, that's because you basically have an Islamic perspective.
And I'm like, you know, maybe, maybe, I don't know
because it is kind of like some malcolm x shit you know
you had dr king and you had malcolm x and it's like well i'm something of a malcolm x
guy myself to be honest I think there is a specific
of Christianity
that absolutely leads to that type of hypocrisy and stuff.
Just like there's interpretations of Islam and all other religions that lead to falseness.
But I also, you know, think there's interpretations of Christianity that are just totally different from this kind of hypocrisy, you know, think there's interpretations of Christianity that are just
totally different from this kind of hypocrisy, you know, like,
I think that there's a lot which,
um,
there's a lot of types of Christianity, which are basically just saying,
you know, like, we ride or die
for Jesus, and that's
that. Like, followers of
Jesus, like, that's what it means. It doesn't
mean this
this nonsense about, oh, well,
the world is fallen. You just have to
ignore the world.
It's more like, in this world,
we are under the banner of Jesus.
Like, that's the Christianity I fuck with, you know?
Like, fighting for Jesus in this world, right?
That type of Christianity, I fuck with it big time.
And I have no issue with the like notion of Jesus being God in that, in that frame.
Because it's like, I understand what it means.
That's why.
Like, I understand what that actually means.
You're saying that's, like, the highest principle there is.
And I respect the fuck out of that.
And I fuck with it myself.
There's not, like, a huge boundary between me and that, you know?
There's not a huge boundary between me and a specific type of Christianity that says we're going to fight for Jesus in this world, right?
But the one that says we're going to give this world to the devil
and then clasp our hands together and pray to
oh i don't i really don't fuck with that at all
i really do not fuck with that at all
like i really hate that perspective, to be honest.
Like, I find it disgusting.
Just like how I find the Islamic perspective, you know, that says, just follow the rituals
and follow the laws and you're good, you know?
So, yeah, I guess that's my perspective on that. You know, he was like talking about Christianity, but it's like, if I was alive during the German Peasants Wars, I would be in the black company with Florian Geier, you you know, and Munser and Stick, I would have no
there would be no distinction.
And it's like, he's like,
well, that's because you're a perennialist. And I'm like,
you know what, you're right.
If I was alive during the time of Ismail the Great, I'd be in that army. I'd be in the Kisselbos, you know? If I was alive during the time of Thomas Munster, I'd be in that army. And there'd be no distinction for me.
There'd be no distinction.
To me, those are all the same thing as Mao's PLA and the Bolshevik Red Army.
And he's like, well, those are all separate distinct things.
And I'm like, but they're really all the same, you know?
But they really are all the same.
Because communism is the riddle of history solved. You know, Why, why? Like, I've read the Bible and it's just the New Testament. And it's like, it's so radically simple. Is this confirmation bias? Every accent, every, like, emphasis in it is about, like, worldly things. It's about, you know,
the mistreatment of the poor. It's about the hypocrisy. It's about the usurers. It's like it's, that's what it focus, like, everything revolves around it that. They don't just, there's nothing is about, nothing is like this
abstract bullshit. It all makes so much sense to me from a materialist perspective. And then even
in the Quran, you know what the ultimate deadly sin in the Quran is? More than any other sin?
That it says this is the ultimate sin that God is waging war against.
It's the only sin that the Quran says God has declared war against is usury.
It's the only one, usury. It's the only one, usury.
Not, you know, you're not fasting, you're not alcohol, not, you know, swine and pork, not this and not that.
Usury. Reba, economic exploitation.
That's the only sin God goes to war with in the Quran.
Or said he's going to war with, right?
And it's like, that's what it's about.
It's always been about these things.
And it made so much sense to the people living at that time.
From a materialist perspective, based on the actual logic and structure of their actual lives they lived in.
No, it's women wearing bikinis.
Yeah. Thank you. No, yeah, it's about shaving moustaches. You know, in the Gospel in the New Testament, you know the passages that are cited that supposedly are proof that Christianity denies the material and denies the world?
Do you know what these passages are actually about?
Immediacy.
They're about, and I'm quite sure this is what it was
someone who took something in the short term for short term gain
instead of waiting and working with others
to produce the outcome.
And it's like it was about immediacy.
It wasn't about the world.
It was about the immediate, you know,
confusing the immediate for what really matters. Anyway, I'm not a fucking preacher, Holy shit. Guys, do you like my setup?
It's really good.
Really great setup I got.
Just such a better... Like from the old one, right?
It's a lot better, right?
Or do you guys need me...
It needed to be more zoomed in.
Uh, have someone who understands technology to... I need to get a new USB bullshit converter It's just like that
That conversation I had
It's like every black pill disguises
A naive blue pill.
Really, that's just what it is.
Every black pill disguises's such a black pill.
Like the whole time in the Discord, he's's such a black pill.
Like the whole time in the Discord, he's got this huge black pill.
And then he comes out, it turns out he was saved by Christ.
Wouldn't someone who's saved by Christ be so much more sunny and smiling and have a better outlook on life, even if you disagree with me.
He's just blue-pilling on some bullshit.
We can only be responsible for yourself? Could you be responsible for yourself without coping though?
Without lying to yourself?
About tricking yourself? and the You know, I don't, I don't hate normies who wouldn't want to join the Communist Party.
The truth is I don't hate them.
And in matter of fact, sometimes I resent, I not resent, I envy them.
Because everyone's playing their part.
If we didn't have stupid normies, we wouldn't even have anything to fight for.
No? stupid normies we wouldn't even have anything to fight for no what would we even have to fight we didn't have people who devote themselves to art people who devote
themselves to just being human what would you be fighting for, you know?
But unfortunately, I want to say otherwise, but I'm just going to tell you to the fucking truth.
I can't respect people who tap in and tap out.
You know, who join this kind of cause in and say, well, I'm just going to fucking
cope and make excuses for myself to just go be a fucking normie.
And it's just like, well, I mean, you can do that.
I just won't respect you, like, personally.
Because it's like, I can't help it.
I just, yeah, I can't help it.
I just think maybe people who just like need a break, I can respect.
But to really cultivate that spark within you and then throw it all
away, I can't respect it. Can't respect it. You know, and the spark in question, what is the spark?
Because it's not magic. Well, the spark in question, what is the spark? Because it's not magic.
Well, the spark in question is our inherent kind of intuitive clarity that we have.
That's disclosed to us by the rise of a new integral mode of production, a new totality of history.
Like, we have a hegemony that tries to represent all society, right?
Institutions.
But they're out of touch, primarily because of technology.
So how does the moral authority and governing principle of society reproduce itself?
Well, it does so from zero outside the institution, right?
Outside the city in history, outside the polis.
And it's like when it does so, it's not a division of labor.
It's everything.
It's the entire universal principle guiding society.
And it's like we all have a connection to that.
All of us.
Like, by virtue, by virtue of being part of history and existing within history we have a connection to
it we all have a connection to the same revolutionary spark we can react and
respond to it in different ways but we all have it within us and it weighs less than a feather while simultaneously
being more than everything in the world
priceless than everything in the world. Priceless.
