The Exo-Peasantry: 21st Century Revolutionary Class 🚀 Infrared Content Catalog

ladies and gentlemen welcome to today's

stream the record I'm gonna do the

patreon shit on stream tonight

uh I do not see myself having time to do

it tomorrow because tomorrow I have an

interview with the Platypus

people

um

anyway I'm gonna talk a little bit also

about Jackson's ban as well but uh just

for the record guys I want to be full

disclosure about something

so that fat fuck

um he reported my uh video yesterday

and YouTube sent me an email saying that

there is an alleged right that he is

claiming it's an invasion of his privacy

um he's claiming it's an invasion of his

privacy

um

even though it's not right and YouTube

says after 48 hours they're going to

investigate it by the way it's a

confirmation it is him just to be clear

I already knew that but you know

everyone knows that but uh thank you so

much support call me they need they're

gonna like check back in 48 hours and

then they're gonna investigate it

themselves to see if it is indeed an

invasion of privacy so I'm pretty I'm

pretty uh confident that it's not I'm

pretty confident that this pussy you

know is wrong but if YouTube happens to

take my channel down for one week

because of that or whatever they want to

do actually I don't care because I'm not

taking it down uh in case you do wants

to delete it guys I recommend you watch

that video or download it

in the meantime but uh yeah this guy's

trying to like cover it up and hide it

scrub it from the internet which is not

gonna happen right so Carlos is not

going to uh succeed

yeah they're trying they are explicitly

trying to take my channel down though

that's what they said

which is interesting because everything

that person does

um let's just say it's gonna backfire in

an equal proportion so if you threaten

to take my source of Revenue even if

it's just temporary down

um

that applies to yours as well so I don't

know it's just pretty clear

but anyway

um

this dude is extremely deranged and

obsessed and I don't blame them either

because you know they're absolutely

powerless in the situation that they're

in right now especially like all the

without saying right I would be I would

be freaking out too right if I were them

but yeah they are absolutely losing

their shit and verified right now

so

well I mean like look if anything

happens to the YouTube right I guess you

guys know who it was

I just yeah I don't really see what's so

smart about doing that but I'm not

taking the video down YouTube gives me

48 hours to take it down I don't think

there's anything wrong with it I don't

think I've broken any rules everything

was public that I showed right it was

every all shit that they themselves add

on their own Twitter and were saying

themselves

uh so yeah I'm just not gonna take it

down period I'm just not

I'm not taking it down whatsoever it's

just not gonna happen

uh so that's that you know I'm just

decided on that I'm gonna let YouTube do

their own investigation and see if

there's any Foul Play but yeah this

pussy is really scared right now really

really scared which is fine

uh I don't blame them

I do not blame them

and I just think they're not really

being very wise right for their

situation they're just not being very

wise you know anyway guys

um

that being said

I want to talk about the Jackson

situation right now

because I didn't get a chance to talk uh

touch upon that yesterday

so I don't know if you guys know this

but there's some good news right Jackson

he's been streaming

Mecca hi are you so much Don he's

streamed on Rumble today he might even

still be streaming I don't know

he's doing very well right he he texted

me two like two thousand viewers on

Rumble his first stream all right that's

crazy right I mean who knows who goes on

Rumble right it's not very well known so

he's doing very well he's doing

excellent and if you guys don't know

this

uh for those of you that don't know

Jackson got

banned for two additional weeks on

YouTube

he had to scrub his whole Channel and

delete everything from his channel

because YouTube is engaged in a

determined effort uh to censor him not

just the censor him but just to just ban

him from the platform and you can pre

you can be pretty confident about the

fact that that comes from the like very

high up that's like a that comes from

the top right they're saying hey get rid

of that Jackson guy he is growing way

too fucking fast he we are not the we're

not supporting him so like where the

fuck is this coming from and how the

fuck is this happening right

so yeah I mean it's coming from straight

from the top

more or less

and uh yeah

I I mean explicitly YouTube is working

with the state department to combat

misinformation

there's a very high probability that

YouTube is doing this because thank you

so much underscore Sun gorilla

thank you so much Tristan there's a very

high probability that YouTube is

actually doing this because they're

getting orders from the state department

to just take them down and you know what

I find so fucking outrageous about this

and it should make us angry we shouldn't

just roll over and accept this shit

right because who the fuck does this

happen to YouTube has always made

excuses based on you know combating

missing combating misinformation that

affects public health or curtailing hate

speech or curtailing speech that incites

violence or something of that nature you

know they've always had some kind of

excuse that was measured and determined

on the basis of harm reduction right so

it's pretty fucking unprecedented that

they're gonna start censoring people who

are pushing an anti-war narrative and a

narrative skeptical of NATO I mean why

where's the harm reduction in that what

is what is the actual measurement of

material harm being used here right so

it's they're just openly and explicitly

saying we're just going to censor all

descent right

we're gonna just censor all descent so I

have some other good news for you

which is that if anything happens to my

YouTube channel

uh I I have talked to the rumble people

as well and they're gonna set me up with

a rumble account I just have to get

around to it but yeah I'm gonna be on

Rumble too if that happens right thank

you so much talking about mentioning

Jackson's suspension definitely helped

him on Rumble great guy yeah I mean both

me and Jackson were approached with

Rumble stuff

uh a while ago right so I'll be on

Rumble as well I'm gonna be on Rumble

and we'll just be together right and

Rumble has no rules at all so that'll be

fun they just don't have any rules all

right they have rules but like they

don't have YouTubes right it's like

nowhere comparable it's like it's not

even in the same league it's not even on

the it's not even in the same planet

right as YouTube shit right

so that's gonna be that I'm going to be

doing my own

uh Rumble as well and it's gonna be fun

gonna be a lot of fun and if if anything

happens and you know

even if nothing happens at all

that's fine

because uh

that's completely fine because

what's ended what's going to end up

happening is that

we're gonna like change our approach to

how we operate on these mainstream

platforms I talked to Jackson about this

right I mean thank God for now we both

have our platforms both of us so thank

God for that

so yeah

yeah

but um yeah this guy

he's like a super upset at this point

this like there it's usually Anonymous

people who do this kind of shit because

there's not gonna be any repercussions

like I don't know why someone

who like

like everything is known about them

literally every like up to the most

visceral possible of details

would just do this I mean if you don't

think okay I'll just not talk right I'll

just not say anything

I'll just end it there but yeah that's

just like the most stupid fuck I've ever

come across right it's fucking

insane stalker like just go on my

Twitter right now and go into my latest

post and look into the fucking replies

you're gonna see this dude who's like

spending let me tell you this it's

fucking insane because it's like

aren't you like a pure communist guy and

you wanna you you're you're talking

about real working class issues right

not whatever Haus is doing but except

like you're gonna just devote your life

24 7 to you know

very foolishly trying to have a go at me

right very foolishly right but even

nonetheless it's like how is that a wise

use of time I mean what are you gonna

get out of that nothing right you just

have a bruised ego

which I would understand if you have a

bruised ego if you're like me if you're

like as big as me and your fear is like

good looking as me and if you're as much

of a man as I am

then I would kind of understand but it

like if you if you're like a soy cup you

sound like this

um I actually think that a true working

client like if you have literally a a

eunuch

voice right what why are you trying to

challenge me and you know

what are you trying to beat your chest

for you're not even a man right you're

nothing close to me what what

competition is there between us there is

none you're not even a fucking man right

I don't know what the fuck you are

but we are not in the same league like

this is not you you're not gonna fucking

out Alpha me or whatever the fuck you're

doing it's fucking stupid right

it's fucking stupid

but um yeah

yeah it's super sad it's just super sad

in general

and that's okay

it's okay because like all things look

this is I like there's some enemies

where I just can't do anything about it

but there's also some who just do things

really recklessly and it just it just

will fucking backfire everything will be

everything you try to do to me will

happen to you much worse that's all I

could say right

but um yeah super sad super super sad

super sad

I I could not imagine

embarrassing myself to such an extent

where like everyone knows what my face

looks like

but I still behave like this

it's actually fucking baffling actually

pretty baffling

um

anyway guys I

I talked about earlier the fact that we

need to start making a bigger deal over

the censorship stuff right because right

Wingers when they get censored over you

know things that are much more ambiguous

it seems like they just know how to like

make a big big fucking deal about it

right and me and Jackson still have this

mentality where we're just like huh

that's life it is what it is you know

but no we need to start being more like

Karen's we need to start being more

entitled we need to start raise we start

making noise we need to start making

noise about this kind of shit this is

not okay right because they used to have

excuses and yeah I know their excuses

were all bullshit but it was never so

shame Shameless and it was never so

direct as it is now right

it's never been as Direct

and it's super sad

super sad

um

guys since they're watching I want you

to put a one in the chat if Carlos is a

fat bitch if Carlos is a fat bitch and a

pussy and they have a uh you know Carlos

is a fat bitch and a pussy get those

ones in the chat

that's fast as fuck that is so if Carlos

is watching this

um a lot of people think you're a fat

pussy and a fat fuck

you know a lot of people think you're a

pussy Carlos a lot of people think that

um you can cope all you want uh you know

for the rest of your life being my

number one

I've mentally traumatized so many people

you're like what get in line right but

this is for the rest of your life you're

never gonna be a communist you're not

going to serve the working class or be

part of some communist activity you're

going to spend the rest of your life

just like all of my other full-time

haters dedicated to me you are now my

bitch you are my full-time bitch you are

my full-time bitch uh and you're gonna

be living on your knees

uh for the rest of your life

you know trailing me behind trying to

bite my ankles while I move past you

there's I mean there's

the thing is

the thing is I mean

I can't really say anything so I'm just

not gonna say anything right I just want

to say like

but there's also surprises always in

life there's surprises right there's

always these surprises that take us

unexpectedly in life

and we oftentimes learn from them right

so everything's a learning experience in

life everything's a learning experience

but you don't want to ever be like

Carlos you always want to go to the gym

you always want to take care of yourself

and don't live life bitterly right if

you're stuck working at a job that you

absolutely hate

right

don't make that a political ideology

that's not a political ideology right

that's just bitterness

when you know there's people look

people get the short end of the stick in

life that's how it works

and when you start to politicize your

own bitterness it's just a whole new

level of pathetic right

you know

um

at one point you have to realize that

this is a dog eat dog world and nobody

gives a fuck if you complain nobody's

gonna give a fuck if you complain if

you're homeless on the side of the

street

and you know

you you're like even starving or some

nobody gives a shit it's just that's the

truth nobody gives a fuck this is a dog

eat dog world and bitching on the

internet and trying to be bitter is not

gonna get you anywhere that's just the

truth that's just the truth right uh the

proletarian working-class movement was

never some charity to alleviate the

bitterness of failed photographers it

was a movement meant to represent

working people and their their definite

interest their concrete interests and it

wasn't about people being bitter you

know

about how much they hate their job it

was about people who realized that they

need a dignified way of life that they

they need to at on the one hand be

laborers right which is an inevitability

of life but they also need a dignified

way of life right which the service

sector is not by the way

I mean I feel like there's a lot of

people who just enjoy being bitter

there's with a lot of people who enjoy

being bitter and doing things that they

hate as a license to spit venom at the

world and complain isn't that isn't that

isn't that the damn truth huh isn't that

the damn truth there's just a lot of

people who enjoy being bitter they enjoy

it because that bitterness gives them a

license to complain about everything

which allows them to be above the whole

world they never have to be responsible

or accountable for anything because they

can just complain about everything right

and a lot of people prefer that to doing

to just doing things that they like

right in the first place like I'm let me

put it this way right if you're someone

who hates your fucking job so much right

and you have the Surplus energy to a

watch me on the internet B interact with

me on the internet C

actively try and and go to war with me

on the internet

I'm gonna go ahead and say thank you so

much love facts people love being bitter

it's an excuse for their actions

absolutely yeah but let me repeat that

okay thank you so much uh love

appreciate you man but let me repeat

that if you have the time to watch me if

you have the time to interact with me if

you have the time to actively pursue

trying to go to war with me in vain

you could easily use all of that time to

just better your situation you're

privileged you have a lot of free time

and energy that actually you could be

using to build your life up in some kind

of way I mean the bare minimum at least

right you could do something to try and

get out of your shitty situation the

truly desperate people who are stuck in

these proletarian jobs that absolutely

exploit them like to the point where

they just have they There's No Escape

those aren't the people who are a you

know spending their time tweeting about

me and trying to go to war with me and

watching my streams bitterly and shit

those people probably aren't even on the

internet right those people are spending

their time

um

they're spending every moment of their

time

in a helpless situation right illegal

migrants who are working on farms

you know

being underpaid and shit they're not

like they're not beefing with Haws on

Twitter they're not beefing with fucking

streamers on Twitter the people who beef

with me on Twitter are people who do

have the free time to get out of

whatever situation that they're in but

would rather spend it uh being bitter

fat losers right that's just a fact

this is the fact

it's super sad

yeah this is like one of those

situations where it's gonna get bad to

worse

I actually think we have a Lal cow in

the making I think we have a Community

Law account in the making

and life is going to get significantly

worse this is one of those people who

just

they don't know how to let go of it so

they keep pursuing it and just life is

just going to keep getting worse and

worse for them because of that and it's

gonna gradually keep getting worse right

like stage one okay stage one we know

what stage one was and stage two then

States it's just gonna keep getting

worse and worse and worse I think that's

what this person wants and they're gonna

get what they want right they're just

life is just going to become

significantly worse for them

just significantly worse

and yeah this is what they call a laukau

it's just a tragedy in the making

so sad so sad but yeah life is going to

get much much worse

much much worse based

thank you so much ZK appreciate it

appreciate you so much

thank you so much

um in other news I think at the end so

this is how we're gonna divide today's

stream I'm gonna first talk about the

subject matter at hand then on the

second half of the stream we're going to

be dedicating that to uh answering the

patreon Q a questions that for like from

the past two or even three weeks that I

have not done just because I have not

had the time so if you guys want to know

what I've been doing today

uh I have been

reading a lot I've been going back to

I've actually been reading it's actually

weird I didn't do this intentionally but

the two things I've been reading today

more intently were um

I've been reading

uh Marx's critique of hegel's philosophy

of right

specifically that the um section on the

Estates and on classes

and I've also been reading Capital

volume three so that's what I've been

doing today

and right I mean before I've been

streaming

I've uh

I've

um

what the fuck was I gonna say

I lost my train of thought I lost my

train of thought

I've been reading these parts about

Capital volume 3 on ground rent

differential rent I've been returning to

that kind of stuff

um

because

I've been I'm working on a section of my

book pretty much which is trying to

explain the

origins of the significance of the

proletarian class more or less right so

that's what I've been doing

but in the meantime there's just or

stuff right that I've had that I think

today stream I want to dedicate to

giving you guys a little bit of right so

um that's specifically going to be about

this new concept of the EXO peasantry

and maybe that's a makeshift word but

it's a word we can work with right now

the EXO peasantry which I'm going to

explain in in some good detail

um yeah guys like the fucking stream

what is this fucking difference between

he likes holy shit like the fucking

stream right now like this fucking

stream right fucking now motherfuckers I

didn't get called a grifter or uh for

nothing okay like the fucking stream

right now

like the stream right now

based

you should post a list of what you read

in your spare time when you get the

chance

I just told you right so I told you what

I was reading today

actually

um

so yeah

thank you so much love Tony

appreciate you

yeah anyway so what I was talking about

is basically

we are talking about a situation

where

Marx's Capital that project was

incomplete and it left a lot

to be

um

elaborated there's a lot of things in it

that were kind of not

Marx was trying to finish his Circle and

he didn't finish his Circle right so

Capital volume three we're left with a

lot of questions that are not answered

and that's what I kind of want to get to

exploring tonight in today's stream

specifically into dedicate today's

stream to

so

you know

um I guess to just kind of

dive right into it

more or less right

I want to explain to you guys

Marx's Eerie of the three main classes

thank you so much underscore cpusa 2036

colon underscore Sun gorilla colon

underscore Tanki T at Rd losses a pig

eight X all right I don't know what any

of that means right I do not know what

any of that means

but um

I think let me let me actually get this

before we get into this topic I want to

kind of give you more of my plans and

shit right so I'm trying to actually

um spend more time reorganizing the

patreon format and pumping out more

videos because I got a sick sick fucking

intro from shout out blue right he made

it for me for free by the way I'm still

gonna pay him though check this out

check this insane insane fucking intro

out so in future

uploaded videos that are like gonna be

segments from the Stream

this is what we're going to be dealing

with this is what it's going to look

like

you guys ready

what the fuck is wrong okay here

you guys ready check this off

[Music]

that is sick as fuck isn't it

that is sick as fuck

that is absolutely fucking sick

so yeah that's what we're gonna be thank

you so much since you held up that

burger in the vegan debate hope you blow

up bro

thank you so much bs766 thank you so so

much

uh what is the music from the original I

don't remember there's a lot I used a

lot of different music right so there's

never one there was not ever One

exclusive type of music that I've used

so I always use different types of music

but guys I want to tell you another

thing this

stream tonight it was way too late and I

was reading about Marx's rent again

there's so much math there's so much

fucking math

in

volume three but also when Marx is

talking about rent that it's like oh man

it's a lot of it's very mentally

draining right by the way like the

stream right now uh or you're

permanently banned from the community

for eternity

so like the fucking stream I still don't

like this disparity the fucking lazy ass

Community like the goddamn stream right

now right I was not gonna stream tonight

at all the reason I decided to stream

actually because when I fucking

announced it on Discord the first react

I got was Sage I got a sage react and

the sages kept piling up and all of the

reactions were just people showing

sadness sounds like holy fuck people

actually need a stream tonight

and I would honestly you guys let me

know choice like I'm not gonna be able

to fucking baste

thank you so much Mr stream late is

great

thank you so much Mister yeah I thought

it was too late too but like

everybody was sad and shit when I

announced it because sometimes when I

say there's not gonna be a stream

tonight people react with the fucking

Flex Emoji which tells me okay they're

fine they don't need me tonight right

but everybody was fucking giving me that

Sage react and I was like oh fuck I

gotta stream that's okay though right

that's okay but because it'd be worse

for me if you know I just the guilt the

guilt would be a little too much right

guys honestly

I think not streaming

is worse for me than it actually no it's

not really true

but uh when I'm not streaming thank you

love appreciate you man thanks for

pulling through tonight oh yeah no

problem no problem no problem when I'm

not streaming

um

it's just a kind of emptiness right

where it's like

there's just this emptiness

and I don't know it's hard to explain

from a streamer perspective but

streaming

streaming when you don't even when you

don't want to stream you just click live

it you get over it right you do you just

fucking do it right

but um

we all know why we do it right we stream

because

this is a wild wild world and I can't

let my cult members

start getting external foreign thoughts

so I have to keep you guys brainwashed

and hooked on these streams

uh so that you you know the programming

will continue to

continue to be effective right because

when every day that I don't stream you

guys are consuming media different from

me every day that I don't stream you

guys are like you know you're you're

watching PewDiePie or I don't know what

the fuck you're doing you're just you're

just consuming images and videos that

are not approved by infrared right

so it's like

every day that I don't stream

Miss Jackson no we approve of Jackson we

approve Jackson

definitely Jackson is approved

uh so you don't have to worry about that

Jackson's one of the people we yeah just

Caleb to Caleb's approved as well but

yeah I mean like besides that it's just

kind of very worrisome when people I'm

just sitting there and I'm like huh

these people's thoughts might be see I

represent the polarity I'm a I'm a

vector I'm a I'm a velocity right I'm a

current so when you guys are watching me

your thoughts are being oriented in a

certain direction and the longer you

you're away from me the more the

the frequency is being lost right and

then your guys's heads will just go

astray into wrong directions right

um

so yeah that's one of the reasons I have

to say thank you so much love if it is

Media it isn't real media

yeah that's exactly true

that's exactly yeah Hakeem is not

approved actually as a matter of fact

guys one of the things I wanted to do

starting out here I want to isolate you

guys as much as possible from other

leftists I don't want you guys to watch

other leftists right that's actually one

of the reasons why my friends on Twitch

were people like zirka like

watch me or watch Caleb or watch Jackson

and then beyond that just watch normies

just do Normie shit right don't waste

your fucking time with these losers with

these fucking losers they're all losers

right

I mean yeah there's some exceptions I'm

not I'm not I'm gonna yeah it's gonna be

somebody like what about me yeah okay

thank you so much great Khan gorilla son

thank you so much Cameron yeah guys like

don't fucking get into this trap of

being in like Lefty discourses and and

like being with like a gen Zedong Reddit

and shit fuck all these losers just be a

normal motherfucker this is my my advice

to my audience right my advice my

audience

your comrades are not going to help you

in life so

y'all pull together and figure out ways

to make money all together you want to

form groups on the internet figure out

ways to make money because politics is

not going to do it right figure out ways

to make money so get your grind up get

your get your money up right get your

numbers up some kind of way right

that's my advice to you benefit your

physical health health right Health put

your physical health there right benefit

your social life put yourself out there

be a normal human being interact with

normies right uh don't Define your taste

in music and all that kind of shit based

on what left to say just fucking ignore

all that don't Define your appreciation

of art based on what left is or anything

just think about that fucking bullshit

right be a fucking actual elevated human

being right be an actual elevated human

being and

because at the end of the day this shit

this communism stuff this is not here

to be a substitute to your Humanity this

is here to free you right it's not here

to

it's not here to be a substitute for

being a fucking human being you have to

actually be a human being you actually

have have to exist in this doggy dog

world no excuses no bitterness no

nothing no self-pity no complaining no

nothing right that's the truth of this

world

that's the truth of this world

Okay so

you have to keep that in mind you have

to keep that in mind there's no excuses

it's a doggy dog world and the most we

can do together is give good advice

right give good useful advice wisdom

things that are going to help you in

life because at the end of the day

you're on your own that's the truth you

don't have these comrades with you look

all these fucking comrades they're all a

bunch of fucking parasites Social

Circles and they're vampire they're

vampires they vampirically suck the

energy out it's a fucking big waste of

time fucking ignore all of that shit

you're better off spending your time

with crypto Bros than these fucking uh

leftists I guarantee you

I guarantee you that you're wasting your

time if you're gonna make your Social

Circles Bello left this or fellow

political ideological Believers right

these are all fucking bitter losers

they're all bitter losers

do not spend your life going down that

road of

becoming one with these people they're a

fucking waste of your time

there are goddamn waste of your time

thank you so much guys for the twos

yeah if you can't relate to normies your

communism is useless yeah absolutely

absolutely true right but people don't

give a fuck about that right all people

really seem to care about is virtue

signaling so they're fucking five

friends right

uh let me let me put it this way

actually here's what it is if you're

spending your time interacting with

Communists and your audience isn't at

least 300 people

stop doing it just stop it's a waste of

your fucking time do not be going on

like if you're in the infrared Community

your audience is like 20 000 people

right so when you're on Twitter with

that hashtag Mecca Tanki you have an

audience of at least a few hundred

people so it's not a waste of your time

right but if you're like one of these

people

who are like spending your time on the

internet as like a communist and you

don't even have a big audience or

anything just stop it's a waste of your

time

it's a waste of your time

go spend your time making money spend

your time benefiting your life in some

kind of way don't spend your time being

an influencer for your five communist

friends it's just a big fucking waste of

time

all right

you guys are just there to cope with

each other and be fucking bitter with

each other a bunch of fucking losers

right

it's honestly sad it's so fucking sad

it's so sad man

so goddamn sad

you gotta get your money up you gotta

make fucking money doggy dog world we're

living in all right this is not nobody's

gonna hold your hand in this goddamn

world nobody

nobody

and if somebody's holding your hand in

this world nothing is free so take this

advice from me if somebody is holding

your hand in this world nothing's free

so that dependency you have on them

that's gonna cost you your dignity

that's gonna cost you your you know your

selfhood that's gonna cost you your

pride

nothing is free nothing speaking of

other leftists Jason's claim you were

formulating a CP scam makes me think he

was trying to get ahead of something

I don't want to throw shit around Alex

that to be completely honest thank you

for the five but

there's no precedent for Jason

ever being caught

with anything like that as far as I know

there is no precedent for Jason ever

being a predator or you know

um

being someone who's like in associated

with that I mean he doesn't even like

post anime or anything right

and not not to say that everyone who

posts anime is a pedophile

but that's like a spectrum right it's

kind of a spectrum so since

that's the case

is Jackson raiding me from Rumble right

now no way

no fucking way

that's actually insane

unru no he wasn't don't see Theodore you

know what Theodore dude I'm gonna

fucking time you out

and I know Jason doesn't deserve it

doesn't deserve the good faith

but like let's stick to the facts let's

stick to what we can nail these people

with that's grounded in reality okay no

he had no he wasn't

Jason Unruh has never been caught he's

never been

he's not there's nothing to point in

that direction as far as what kind of

person he is all right there's not so

let's not fucking stoop that low okay

um

we shouldn't entertain that he did he

had that weird Fallout mod

he's a weirdo yeah but like he's not

he's not a predator as far as we know

right there's no reason to think he is

there's no reason to insinuate that or

imply I I will as a principled person

that is something I'm gonna stand behind

right

there's no reason to assume anything

like

yeah I I know Jackson I heard the news

Jackson did very well very very well on

Rumble

uh it doesn't surprise me you guys you

guys when I was arguing with Jackson on

the text right I was telling him

or I was a FaceTime I was like you're

gonna get at least 500 don't worry about

that he's like nah I expect 200. he

thought he thought he was getting 200

viewers right he said hell no you're not

getting 200. we're like a 6K Andy on

YouTube you're gonna get a good number I

said you're gonna get

probably 2K over 2K

1 to 2K right he didn't believe it I

told him

I told him

but

you you would think I wouldn't care

because it's not my channel I

legitimately was angry in my sleep I was

going to sleep I was fucking shaking

with anger

thinking about how much I was pissed off

that he had to debate he had to delete

his whole fucking youth

and why I why it's personal for me is

because he also had to delete his Sam

Cedar shit and I was there for that in

L.A I was there for that Samson I was

there for the glory of that Sam Cedar

debate when I was in LA

and

it made me so fucking angry right

because that it's like they took a piece

of my life too right

it's not yeah I know it's still on

Rumble and shit but still right still I

fucked fucked them for doing that shit

right waste

the lack of any mass media coverage on

the Dutch protests proves the age-old

the revolution won't be televised the

masses will march on regardless true

thank you so much Napoleon Bonaparte

appreciate you man

I think well one thing we got to learn

from occupy guys

is that civil unrest

will not make the news

they used to have this thing I've ever

since May you guys let me tell you

something can I ask you as a weird

question and if there's any historians

in the chat you can come and just kind

of like

explain it to me right but there's

something really weird not like nobody

points out right and the weird thing is

this

May 1968 in France everybody thought the

country was on the verge of a revolution

that strikes paralyzed the country

there was unrest in rioting in the

streets I mean it just seemed like there

was going to be a fucking revolution in

France because of all this chaos going

on right in May 1968 in France right

called May 68th everyone thought this is

a revolution holy fuck we look at all

this unrest look at all this chaos on

the streets the government's gonna get

um overthrown president de Gaulle fled

to Germany in secret okay so it was some

real shit okay

and then elections were called

the same year in France

explain this to me they had elections

the same year in France okay

president de Gaulle won the most

sweeping Landslide victory

in the history of the French Republic

he won the most Landslide victory in the

entire history of the French Republic

why is that right I think the reason for

that is because

in the past people used to think that a

bunch of people rioting in the streets

and doing this is proof of a political

situation it's not anymore this is the

playground the street is a playground

okay look at look at summer 2020.

it's a playground right so just just

unrest alone is not enough

not only is it not enough to get the

media's attention anymore because

the media will just selectively cover

what they want to cover

not enough to have political

significance right see like with the

media all the media has to do to give

something political significance is they

have to cover it with their camera right

and they have to attach meaning to it

they have to attach some kind of

political significance to it and then

once they do that

all of a sudden it now with the writing

has meaning but all the media has to do

is just ignore it for it to not have any

effect that's just the truth right in

the past a Revolution was when people

would overthrow the government through

the government building right and that's

how it would work or they you know the

military would step in or something like

that I mean now

just because you're just on the street

burning shit it's not really gonna

have a political meaning inherent it

doesn't inherently have political

meaning right it doesn't inherently have

a political effect

so yeah

I mean that's just a fact

um

so how do you how do things have

political meaning well in contrast to

what the substantial is that's what I

call them the substantialistic

empiricistic people think

political meaning is a lot about the

unconscious the psychological

unconscious today it's

you're not doing anything inherently by

but going IRL and just running around it

doesn't have an inherent meaning right

meaning is at the level of a signifier

and the problem with

calling that idealist is it assumes a

signifier is an idea and it's not a

signifier is a it's a form of the

unconscious right

and that form

I can't explain all this shit I cannot

explain all this shit in one go right

but needless to say there's a reason why

infrared has political meaning

at least within the left right now

and the people who are doing IRL shit

burning houses or whatever they don't no

one knows who they are they have no

significance they have no meaning

whatever infrared we don't we don't

we're not marching in the streets doing

anything like that and we already have

way more significance and way more

meaning than

all of these other fucking like

political sects right

actually

sect of Marxism leninism in the United

States of America

has had less of an impact

than infrared

there's a reason for that

there's a reason for that because

meaning matters

meaning matters meaning is not about

ideas

meaning is not this is a really big

confused

thing where people think meaning is

about ideas so they call it idealism no

that's not what meaning is about

it's not what it's about

um

we have definitely had more of an impact

on Marxism leninism in the United States

in the past year than anyone else I'm

open to I'm open to hearing like counter

examples right but as far as like what

Marxism leninism means we have shaped

that or at least affected that or caused

some kind of turmoil within that more

than anyone else

within the past year right that's

something I'm willing to

that on right

and it's only been a year right we're

just getting started

we are just getting started it has it

has actually only been a year right

so

that's gonna be fun right

it's gonna be super fun

um

I'm getting sent something about Soros

what is this

protect your democracy what is this shit

guys I'm just getting this someone just

sent me this I just wanna see what this

is It's a trustworthy source so let's

check this out protect your access to

the free and open web

it's part of Google's mission to make

the world's information universally

accessible we're offering tools to help

people and organizations protect access

to the free and open web and websites

from cyber attacks and protect accounts

from hacking you know what's so funny

they released this website and say this

right as they banned Jackson for another

two weeks and demonetized him fully yeah

that's the free and open Internet isn't

it

what the fuck is this dark glowy shit

it's called me jigsaw

um protect personal accounts protect

private online conversations protect

your debauchery is a resource for people

and organizations can easily find tools

wow this is dark and it's called jigsaw

2 which is like saw right I don't know

what the fuck that is anyway

um

yeah

there's also that problem with the

people who try to LARP as the working

class right

um but there's always a surplus there's

always a surplus that comes with any

form of direct personal identification

with any identity

and that Surplus is the aesthetic of

their posturing right that Surplus is

the kind of extra ideological social

symbolic

reward they're trying to reap that

Social Capital they're trying to get

from that right

anyway

um

I mean we just saw an example of this

we just saw an example of this with um

Carlos right

so I think a lot is in order in terms of

actually being able to explain one

Marx's theory of class which I'm not

going to do comprehensively tonight and

two this kind of LARP about the working

class so last stream

I believe it was the stream before last

stream actually the one that actually

uh

got cut off too early right but I was

kind of talking about how in today's era

today's mode of production we kind of

have this privatized socialism we have

these competing socialisms Disney's a

version of socialism uh apple has a

version of socialism all these kind of

brands that are competing to become the

Transcendent brand right that does more

than just you know sell products and

sell Commodities but somehow contains

the ultimate signifier upon which entire

communities and our sociality is defined

right

you also have this era and I'm right I

think I'm gonna write a sub stack about

this but I promise to write a lot of

subspects that I haven't so it's not a

promise of the era of move social

movementism right you have the LGBT

movement the people uh the sorry the uh

people of color movements the woman's

movement the whatever movement all these

different movements now right the furry

movement the um the Warhammer 40K

movement and everyone's got to move

everyone's got some kind of

uh

unique way of defining their sociality

the basis of their sociality

and the leftist leftist ideologies

intersectionalism so leftism rejects the

country as a unifying sociality and

replaces it with some kind of mishmash

of different aesthetic movements they

call it identity politics except

identity politics gets wrong the fact

that we're not dealing with a form of

individualism but a form of private

sociality these are all private

socialities

um

these are all private socialities

that

are Supra individual they're not just

about individuals all right

the Maga movement no I'll tell you why

the MOG movement's different

actually

so

what these socialities sorry what these

um

what these let's call them social

movements are actually about

is an aesthetic more specifically the

Transcendence of an aesthetic right they

aestheticize

a given sociality or collectivity in the

form of an injustice right and that is a

transcendental object around which an

entire community and sociality is then

formed right

but what they don't understand so

basically

it's hard to explain the shit it's so

fucking hard to explain okay guys bear

with me I'll explain it okay

the unity of opposites is

the ultimate and absolute object not

only of human communities and histories

but of nature itself it's the unity of

opposites right a contradiction

and a specific form of contradiction

right or a specific type of

contradiction lies at the um

lies at the uh

what do you call it lies as the lies at

the um

not basis a specific form of that

contradiction is the object of human

sociality a given social Community a

given sociality is defined by a specific

relationship to the unity of opposites

right

and in this case and within Marxism Marx

and angles are explicit about this in

the form of the division of labor

between mental and physical okay

so it's a specific manifestation of this

opposites right

that forms the basis and foundations of

a given Community a given sociality

every sociality is defined from within

Marxism strictly right we're not talking

about Freud just within Marxism defined

by a community of Labor defined by a

specific form of social labor so it's

the original division of that labor

that forms the object of a community the

division of labor is the object of every

Community okay even in primitive

communism there is a division of labor

between men and women okay so it's

sexual

and this is this is where feminists

have legitimacy because the sexual

division of labor and the social

division of labor the original social

division of labor these are very closely

tied together right

okay now that I have that

um

in our current skits fast forward like

10 000 years or fast forward like a

hundred thousand years to get to the

modern era right our weird form of

Socialism our socialist motor production

we live in now right

it is the aestheticization of that

object right

as a transcendental object meaning it is

too perfect to be real it is an

aesthetic

of perfection it's a that's why it's

transcendental right it exists beyond

the threshold of

the phenomenal apparent world okay

and it specifically takes the form of an

injustice so the Injustice against the

LGBT the oppression of these people of

that people that oppression it even even

marxoids will translate this into the

the oppression of the working class and

they turn the working class into a form

of identity politics right it's the same

thing

don't call it Aesthetics it is

Aesthetics dumbass

don't tell me what to do

it's not Aesthetics at that point yes it

is because the transcendental object is

a trend it's a transcend it's a

Transcendence of beauty it's a

Transcendence of Aesthetics it's a

beautiful perfect object

that is um purely a transcendental point

of reference okay it's a purely

transcendental point of reference so yes

it is about Aesthetics because that

object that is occluded is the form of

perfection

is the form of perfection

What did Plato say Plato said Perfection

is the enemy of the good okay it's for

good reason that Plato says that

his Perfection is impossible

Perfection means

an absolute form

that's perfection in absolute form

the good is not an absolute form because

it is the form of form

okay Plato's good it's the form of form

itself so the contradictions within form

Plato acknowledges he places them within

this hierarchy that ultimately points to

a form of forms which itself is not a

perfect object

but it's just the mere semblance

of

the unity of the idea with being

the ultimate unity of the idea of being

it's just this pure semblance it's this

pure kind of uh effect the form of forms

is an effect it doesn't cause anything

it doesn't have a causal objectial

reality

it's something that is evoked right

when the intellect is brought

to uh to Bear some kind of relationship

with forms

in reality

okay

Perfection meanwhile is a perfect form

right now a perfect form is obviously

going to be a perfect form of the unity

of opposites the unity of opposites is

the absolute object right so that is

perfection Perfection is the unity of

opposites

taken as an absolute form okay

that Unity of opposites within the

social movementist uh trends

is specifically about a difference

between

um

a difference between uh Injustice and

sorry

the contradiction between the good

and some some injustice right that is

their absolute object so they have

aestheticized that object

into the absolute sorry they have

aestheticized that object

as a metaphysical absolute around which

their Community is found

on oppression okay

so now that you understand this

sorry you don't understand this yet I

have to keep explaining it right

um

this neglects however this

Transcendence of

um

analysis unit has an injustice collector

as a significant threat let's be Justice

collectors no cheers thank you so much

Ned Randall I appreciate your donation

so guys that is um

that is the specific

explanation for social movementism today

right the specific explanation

stems from an aestheticization

of the absolute

but this only speaks to the absolute as

a hypothetical phenomenal form

right

what is real is apparent okay

and since the only thing that can be

real is appearance

they have to consign this unique type of

appearance as a transcendental

appearance it's a yes in appearance

ultimately but it can't be proven in any

kind of way

only approximated right

you guys don't understand anything I'm

saying it's okay that's fine

I did not prepare for explaining this

specific part right

um

because there's like a lot I have to

explain for this to be intelligible like

but in short right

in short the specific way in which

contradictions are reconciled

form let's just call them Lacon

signifiers of the unconscious okay

that is the signify the signifier is not

an aesthetic object this signifier is

referring to a more fundamental order

right within which phenomenal and

aesthetic objects uh are just a moment

within moment within the realization of

and just enter into reality as these

kinds of symptoms of it not in a symptom

of sense of a con just like the symptoms

of something deeper okay so the identity

politics LGBT all this kind of stuff

they have aestheticized a specific

moment of contradiction as the

transcendental absolute because

contradiction is

the metaphysical absolute right the

problem is that they have turned that

contradiction into an aesthetic object

into an object of um

let's say the census or the object of

our uh morality let's say or about our

Aesthetics but they don't address the

specific way in which

the unity of opposites is reconciled and

has a specific way right that specific

way lacan calls that the signifier right

and

this signifier is what base the country

represents I think a good example of

this is the Starbucks Union it has a

semblance of class struggle in that it

takes the former Union fetish

thank you Zolo I don't really agree with

that though I don't think it has the

semblance of classroom at all

um

the aesthetic object

um

sorry the signifier

is what the country is right that's the

country the country is the signify okay

you can have all your Starbucks you can

start you can have all your furry shit

and your whatever identities and all

your different cultural whatevers But

ultimately

your real reality the real sociality to

which you belong that's your country

okay

now why did I drop the pat sock label at

one moment this label fulfilled us uh

our purposes it was useful to us why am

I dropping that label now because I saw

too many people turn Pat sock into an

aesthetic right to make it it's just

like another form of identity politics

basically right

and uh that is where I sense the danger

that the pop the Patria right of

patriotism ceases to ceases to operate

as a signifier now assumes some kind of

trans transcendental uh

imaginary right

that was my problem

that's why we switched to the mecca

Tanki stuff okay

you notice Mecca Tanki is work based

it's like mechanical it's gears it's

moving right I want to get things moving

that's what infrared wants to do I don't

want you to have your own form of

identity politics this is our symbol

this fucking infrared glow this is a

symbol of

somehow not being bogged we want to be a

Transcendent brand we don't want to just

be one brand among many we want to be a

brand that gives rise to a new signifier

right

you don't understand anything I'm saying

that's okay

so

when people just tldr when people are um

bragging about their their working class

credentials and how proletarian they are

and shit uh they are just turning it

into a form of identity politics they

are in no way

they are in no way relating to the

working class in any capacity whatsoever

whatsoever it's just this they have just

turned it into an aesthetic it's just

like being a furry or some shit there's

no difference okay

but it begs the question right

kind of begs an important question

what is this extra space of subjectivity

that has arisen

specifically let's say after May 1968

that does not simply allow people to be

what they are

they have to kind of LARP what they want

to be right people can't just be what

they are they have to reflexivize their

identity and identify with it they need

to identify with something they need to

identify

with some image of themselves right to

be what they are this kind of

existential

very high dagarian problem right

this is an unavoidable problem

uh in the present day

this is an unavoidable problem

the cpusa keeps emphasizing the working

Clause of the diverse and yeah but

the working class movement is not

diverse because it's one movement has

different types of people in it but it's

one movement okay there's not different

working class movements one working

class movement there's one class

struggle

but what the reason these left this get

away with the identity politics is

because 99 of the time

the people who are trying to fight

idpoll are themselves just

aestheticizing

the working class as its own version of

identity politics

and I don't mean that to be clear for

the fucking stupid fucks right to be

clear for the dumb fucks I don't mean

that in the sense of aesthetically

representing the working class which our

community does I mean that in the sense

of reducing the working class to an

image I mean reducing the working class

to like um

a Transcendent Injustice

uh an object of the aesthetic of

morality right he Injustice against the

working class is the reason why no the

working class there's something material

there the class struggle is not

referring to an aesthetic of

contradiction class struggle is

referring to an actual contradiction at

the heart of a given community that

Community is National informed

is the Communist Manifesto says it's

within a country there is some

contradiction

so the aesthetic to which the class

struggle belongs if anything is

sublimated only into the form of the

State Community not into these different

private socialities that you see today

the field of the class struggle is

National in form it's not furry in form

it's not LGBT in form it's not um this

identity in form or that identity in

form it is National in form and the

nation is not just an aesthetic it's a

specific representation of a material

basis of sociality it's the specific

form of an objective sociality an

objective thing that units us okay

morality does not unite a community you

are not just fucking United because you

were wronged in the same way or you're

experiencing the same oppression that

does not materially unite you that may

morally think that there is purpose to

your Unity that may be the moral

justification for why you want to be

United with other people but ultimately

oppression Injustice and immorality do

not unite communities you communities

are united in an objective way in an

objective way that objectivity within

Marxism

has the form of a of a Nation it has the

form of a country it has the form of

let's just say a civilization a specific

relationship

um

between the Civil Society family and all

that kind of stuff and and some

Universal statehood right

that is an objective Unity the objective

Unity is is Freudian right the objective

Unity is

the stuff the substance of sociality

right within Marxism it's labor it's the

social labor it's the form of Labor how

do we reproduce ourselves

how we reproduce ourselves

is the substance of a community

within Marxism Okay so

that is not based on morality it's not

based on will you know why I hate Civic

patriotism I hate Civic patriotism

because it tries to portray

our belongingness to a country as a

matter of choice I choose to be an

American no you don't choose to be a

fucking American you are an American or

you're not an American I mean you can

immigrate here and become an American

but you don't get to just arbitrary it's

you're not opting in that based on your

will you're opting in that

based on your way of life okay you're an

American

when you belong to this community in

some kind of way not when you will

because there's an alignment within your

morality

and the world not because there's an

alignment between your values and your

actions not because there's an alignment

between your ideas and your actions but

because you belong objectively to this

community in a material way

right

but Civic nationalism says I'm in

America that this is Bourgeois Nationals

the Bourgeois nationalism says I'm an

American

or I'm a Frenchman or I'm a German or

whatever the fuck you want because of an

alignment between my ideas and my will

in in in in uh embodied in an

institution right that institution

embodies my ideas and my will and I

pledge allegiance purely Bond the basis

of my will to be a part of it right

in Germany they even make you swear an

oath and say I swear to uphold the

liberal Democratic Constitution meaning

in Germany it's basically illegal to be

a communist by the way Germany

is a uh illegitimate state

it's an it's an illegitimate State

because it is oppressing the German

people in a specific way

holding that historical people blackmail

based on one political ideological

project

the German Constitution says you can't

even be German unless you raise your

right hand and swear fealty to the

liberal Democratic Constitution

so that means they're erasing all of

German history the whole history of the

German people Frederick the great and

all of that is completely erased

and annihilated

and this this this

Bourgeois this this American capitalist

occupation government

gets to

hold the whole German country hostage

and Define what it means to be German

does the German have to be fucking

liberal to be a German the Germans have

existed for hundreds of years

they have existed for hundreds of years

but now they say you have to swear your

loyalty to the liberal Democratic

Constitution to be German right so this

is my problem with Civic nationalism

summed up because as far as I'm

concerned it doesn't matter what

ideology a fucking German is a German's

a German right

it's like what Stalin said these Hitlers

come and go but the German people remain

because the German is a German a German

is someone speaks the German language as

roots and ties to Germany the people of

Germany the land of Germany

in some kind of way I'm not by the way

I'm not saying this based on blood and

you can immigrate to Germany right but

you have to be German in your soul you

have to become German in your soul it's

a specific Community it's a specific way

of being a community it's a specific way

of being a people right and and the

German Way is not better than the French

way it's not better than the American

way the American way is not better

these are all different ways of being a

people not one of them is better than

the other right and that's that's just

the the deadlock of it because there is

no

absolute standard for how to be a people

there are different ways of how to be a

people right how that arises is

something that takes centuries right

it's something deep

[Music]

there are different ways to be a people

okay that is the that is the stuff that

is the substance of sociality that is

the substance of sociality that is the

substance of a community okay so with as

far as Marxism is concerned the class

struggle is within that okay so my

problem with Pat socks who are trying to

turn it into an ideology is I'm trying

to tell you this is not an idea the

Patria is not an ideal the Patria is not

a morality the Patria is not uh uh it's

not a uh uh a picture it's not an image

okay it's us it's the foundation the

foundation

it's the material form of the foundation

of a specific sociality

and it's let me put it this way it's the

inevitable form

it's the inevitable some kind of

inevitable pattern some kind of

inevitable result

of a of uh

specific sociality specific substantive

sociality

Lacon calls this a symptom calls it a

symptom

it's a specific symptom right and then

the form of that symptom

is an inevitable form it follows an

inevitable pattern it follows an

inevitable way not based on an idea

not based on a morality or a moral

standard okay

but based on a specific

specific uh deadlock let's call it a

specific impossibility

specific type of impossibility

that cannot be overcome it's a specific

problem basically

that cannot overcome itself

be as moral as you want be as outraged

as you want an American is an American

and a German is a German

because there's something about how we

specifically Define their relationship

between the individual let's say and the

society that we cannot get over I mean

look at Americans no matter how much

they denounce America no matter how much

they say this is all the theft of

indigenous land no matter how much they

say the founding fathers are racist

there's something inevitably American

about just the way that they're doing it

right this is specific American

individualism

of trying to access the absolute by the

will by the individual will specifically

American right

so it's this it's this paradoxical

conundrum that defines a nation defines

the unity of a people it's a specific

type of conundrum let's call it it's a

specific type of impossibility right it

cannot be overcome

and does This Thing change or does it

become altered yes

but this happens at a scale

of generations right this happens at a

scale of centuries this happens at a

much much longer scale right

a definite generational cycle right

it reveals itself only in this way

only in a specific way

now

if this is the stuff of sociality

uh how does that figure for Marx Marx

remarks

the form of class struggle is National

the form of class struggle is natural

why because the the nation is the form

of sociality

a nation is the real form of sociality

if the nation is the real form of

sociality

how does that sociality

Express itself objectively

in an economic sense Marx didn't really

talk about

or let's put it better he did not

precisely talk about

first let's before we get there let me

introduce you to the three main classes

according to Marx a proletarian class a

capitalist class and the landlord class

the landowner class right defined by the

three specific forms of Revenue

one wage labor two profit

and the other rent good morning

Revolution thank you so much EJ

appreciate you so much

now it's interesting because in chapter

24 I think at 27 or 25 I forget which

one right of volume one

Marx describes the early

period of uh sorry

he describes one of the last periods of

feudalism

where the proletarian class

did not simply just produce Surplus

value

it was a surplus

in its population it was a surplus so

let's actually get this

I'm gonna read it to you right

is it 27

yeah 27 perfect okay so it's 27

and then um

so look at this

serfdom disappeared in the last part of

the 14th century the immense majority of

the population

where free pres peasants Proprietors

okay whatever was the feudal title under

under which their rights of property

were was hidden okay and they're larger

scenario domains the old bailiff himself

a surf was displaced by the free farmer

now this is the part I wanted to get to

the wage laborers of Agriculture

insisted partly of peasants who utilized

their Leisure Time by working on the

large Estates

so

isn't this weird right wage laborers are

not people who own nothing

they are free present Proprietors who

just use their free time to work on

large Estates right

and

the latter who were just a special class

of independent wage laborers

we're also at the same time peasant

Farmers since besides their wages

they had allotted to them arable land to

an extent of four or more Acres together

with their Cottages okay so on the one

hand you have free present Proprietors

okay when their free time sometimes

worked as wage laborers you also have

this special class of wage laborers who

are much smaller in numbers

who mainly got their income from wages

but in addition to that right they had a

lot of to them arable land to the extent

of four acres

they with the rest of the peasants

enjoyed the use use of front of the

common lands that's not even counting

the common lands Marxist saying which

gave Pastor to their cattle furnace them

with Timber firewood Etc

okay

you guys bearing with me

so for Marx

we can just picture this right on the

one hand you have a steady population

a free peasant Proprietors

and then somehow wage labor Bears a

relation to them in the form of a

surplus so in their free time

they're going to go ahead and you know

work for a wage right or conversely

right

even if their bulk of their time is

being spent as wage laborers they still

have a little extra

you know

four acres of land plus the common lands

which they use

that give them a basis that give them

some

basis okay

I have t first okay keep that word in

mind basis it gives them some basis to

stand upon

it gives them some

uh something below their feet okay

this basis this basis

is what I am here in today's stream

going to

uh concern myself with

and to develop its elaborated form

in the 21st century in the form of what

I will call the EXO peasantry okay the

exopasantry

now firstly

what is this basis economically is it

the sale of Labor

uh or is it

the sale of commodities

as in the capitalists right capitalists

who concern themselves purely with the

sale of commodities

have the quality of possessing Capital

right Capital has an innate quality

of being able to grow

no

this let's call them free small

Proprietors

as uh Marx called them

moreover

who are also

people living off of the common land

that exists

they are not directly selling their

labor

uh in order to subsist

so what are they selling in order to

subsist

they're not selling anything

neither commodities

or labor at least

in terms of what defines this class

they are primarily

in the form of their labor reproducing

the conditions of valorization in the

first place

they are reproducing the very conditions

out of which things can even acquire

value

the free small proprietor

let's say even insofar as they are

selling the fruits of their work the

fruits of their labor

return

back from the fruits of their work only

that which is required required

to uh subsist themselves to reproduce

themselves

so here they follow let's call it um

from Dugan's

machia let's call it they are

in this fear of this dark logos they are

obeying a dark logos

not the explicit logos of

of conventional Marxist class analysis

but a dark logos the object and aim of

their activity

is concerned with the reproduction of

some

very vaguely defined way of life so far

at least way of life right which is

primer it's the way of life that's

primer

well this way of life

a specific

form of living

also defines

the material basis of sociality itself

the sociality out of which even the

nation is derivative

ladies and gentlemen let me ask you a

question

would there be an America without an

American Way

would America exists without those Maga

truckers and those boaters whatever the

fuck you want to call them right

those let's call them

just the heavy industry workers right

the hard hat workers

is there an America without that that is

America that literally is what America

is that is literally America

when Trump is saying Maga make America

great again I mean that's the class

that's it's them right that is America

that is what it is there's they're not

they're not Americans because they

decided that they agree with some ideas

they are literally materially what

America is that specific way of life

that specific relationship to production

is America that reproduces the very

sociality

out of which even the American flag and

the constitution in our state is

derivative

they are

um

they have as their object a dark logos

some dark logos

some dark type of logos okay

and this is true for every country every

country has this

type of

Soviet Union had this specific type of

way of life that is

what do I mean by the way of a way of

life

that's where it gets tricky right

what is meant by a way of life

this is what today's stream is about

is a way of life just cultural like for

example

um

the arbitrary tastes you have the things

you like to do in your free time

no a way of life specifically refers to

unique conditions of subsistence

conditions that are defined

by some

Universal community

so let's return to Mark's chapter 27 of

volume one

what is the specific Universal community

that defines the free present

proprietor's way of life

it's the community

of Farmland of their their being given

farmland

whether as their own as free Proprietors

or the common lands that belong to

everyone that belong to the whole public

right

that is a relationship specific

relationship between the individual and

the universal community in which they

dwell right that is economic in nature

that's a specific relation

and

this is what defines the way of life

it's peasants

their way of life is defined by a

specific relationship they have

to the universal

community

isn't dark logos dnesian no

no

maybe maybe the first uh

first kind that Dugan uh

entertains but

no

not inherently no

oh it's not the only one I should say

um

so you see

this is what defines

a class I don't think marks had time to

develop

now I just gave you something very vague

and now we want to get more specific

here right

so let's return to this question of

Labor right

this specific question of Labor

if labor

is not only a Content a Content taken in

the sense of Labor power

right but also labor which has a

specific form the form of Labor right

created by a definite community of Labor

it necessarily follows that

if labor has

a specific form not just the content

that form

which of course is social in nature

cannot

manifest itself at the level of the sale

of Labor

it can only manifest itself at the level

of the subsistence of Labor

the specific way in which labor

as a content

is instantiated

I think Marx may have taken this for

granted

but I think he was getting toward this

right

a good place to start is actually

um actually I'm not gonna get there yet

so if there is

a community of Labor

if there is necessarily some

um

specific way of life that forms the

foundation

of a given country or at least a given

material sociality right this is what

Dugan would call a dark logos right by

the way

if he was putting it into Marxist

scientific terms

if this is true

it should follow that

labor can necessarily become

crystallized in let's call it a

commodity right

some kind of commodity for sale right

but insofar as what this commodity does

is just reproduce the very conditions of

that labor

then this kind of Net Zero of just

selling the commodities

not as a form of capital

but as a direct

um

crystallization of your labor

which is used to reproduce the very

conditions of your labor right

this actually is

more like a uh

uh an augmentation

this is more like a uh some kind of um

exoskeleton of your label just because

you're not selling your labor directly

doesn't mean you're not

working class it doesn't mean you belong

to some Bourgeois class specifically

right it also doesn't mean you belong to

the landowner class which defines its

Revenue based on rent okay so the

bourgeoisie

acquires its Revenue based on profit the

proletariat acquires its Revenue purely

on the basis of wage labor meanwhile the

landowner class acquires its Revenue

purely on the basis of rent

so where does that leave the small

peasant Proprietors

if landowners as a conclusion of Marx's

Capital volume 3 are finally

acknowledged as their own class that

even exists in capitalist society and is

independently and organically reproduced

within capitalist Society actually and

I'm going to get to that explaining that

then

it should follow right that

the free peasant proprietor should also

be given uh their due significance

as a fourth but even more Universal

class

uh within the three

which Bears a relationship to the wage

worker

actually somewhat similar uh

logical relationship not real but

logical relationship between the

landowner and the capitalist

if the landowner's revenue

is defined by the extraction of rents

the peasants

revenue is defined neither by sale for

profit neither by profit neither by

wages and neither by rents so what is it

defined by

it is defined

it is defined by the immediate

roots

of the very valorization of Labor

since they reproduce the very conditions

of valorization in the first place

the peasantry

acquires its Revenue

based purely on reproducing

itself

its revenue is defined by itself

it's the only class whose revenue is not

defined by a surplus in other words

it's a class whose revenue is defined by

the basis out of which Surplus arises

whether in the form of rent wages or

profit

how does it get paid it paid it gets

paid by being given what it puts out

right and that you'd think that's

similar to the worker right except the

worker gets paid a wage based on the

sale of abstract labor power The Peasant

gets paid

um

not a prophet but the immediate

equivalent of the products of its labor

for purposes of subsistence some kind of

subsistence

so this is a very strange and

paradoxical class

today

this class is called I call it the EXO

peasantry why do I call it the EXO

peasantry

so marks

is dealing with the situation

of

the question of post feudal agriculture

and Marx

very clearly points out how

even after the full consolidation of

capitalism in an economy and the

elimination of feudalism and feudal

rights and feudal

ways of life and feudal Traditions even

insofar as all this is eliminated

landlords somehow managed to remain

landowners right why

so for Marx

the landed proprietor

is acquiring their rent

not only because of the Monopoly that

they possess

um over the land

they're also being able to charge the

bourgeoisie rent to derive uh

revenues and rent

on the basis of

a specific difference

Marx points out which is a qualitative

difference

between the organic composition of

capital

within agriculture

and an industry

so for Marx

the organic composition of capital

which and if you don't know what that

means it basically means the ratio of a

fixed Capital to variable Capital so for

example an industry because there's more

machines and it's more technology or

whatever there's a higher organic uh

composition of capital right

therefore labor is more productive right

whereas in agriculture remarks

there is a lower organic composition of

capital right

and Marx basically writes how

the difference

here produces a circumstance in which

we value the output value of

agricultural commodities

is much higher than its prices

much higher than its prices of

production

and from this difference

land holders can charge and acquire

rents

so you see Marx isn't saying

for example Ricardo tried to explain

um

the differentials in capitalist sorry in

agriculture based on soil productivity

right

Marx makes it very clear

that differential rents

cannot sorry cannot be accounted for ju

by uh

differences in soil quality

it's not just some Vestige of the past

or from nature or something like that

this all has to be taken for granted

first

sorry it's going to be I can't explain

this shit right now right I have to

return to it explain a specific form of

reason but

more or less Marx doesn't think there's

something unique about agriculture

specifically what I'm trying to say

for him

the basis of the landowner class and of

rents it's not because of something

specific about agriculture it's not

because of a Vestige of the feudal motor

production it's specifically about this

qualitative difference that manifests

itself in society between rural and town

sorry between rural and urban

between these differing organic

um

organic compositions of capital

and out of this for Marx arises the

rentier class

the rentier class of landowners

now the EXO peasantry is a word I'm

going to be using to emphasize that

specific fact that this peasantry that

we're dealing with in the Contemporary

era which is the basis of the Dutch

the Dutch protest EXO peasants the

truckers in Canada EXO peasants right

this is very clear phenomena of people

who seem to have means of production

but these are means of production that

augment their labor

even if they're farmers and they're

selling the products of their labor

they are still somehow selling their

labor in an augmented form right

they're still selling their labor just

in an augmented form

in a form that is not exactly the form

of exchange value in the case of a

capitalist

and EXO is going to be referring to so

why is why refer to an EXO peasantry

because this

let's call it uh externality

that defines

the Contemporary manifestation of the

peasant class

arises from not from the claims to the

Past right the titles to the to land in

the past or anything but somehow from a

specific

um

that's called retro casual a specific

retro casual

um

a retro causal relationship between

capital and wage labor so in a similar

way that landowners make a return are

artificially reproduced even in a fully

capitalist Society

exo-peasants also in a similar way

are

not just recreated but even implied

um

with the development of capitalism even

a fully Consolidated capitalist economy

right

so this externality that defines the EXO

peasant

is specifically going to take the form

of

means of production which while being

external from them in the strict Marxist

sense

external you know Marx talks about how

the means of production

must be separated from the laboring

classes and this is the law of

capitalism

after this separation the means of

production somehow returned to them but

still still external from them

as a kind of in the best actual analogy

I can give you is an exos exoskeleton

first someone's skeleton is ripped apart

from them and then becomes

thank you so much Alexander like the

idea is that

this the original separation from the

means of production would be like

ripping out someone's skeleton right

with the EXO peasantry

the skeleton is put back on but now as

an ex external from one cell as an

exoskeleton right

as an exoskeleton

so

in for example the case of the farmer's

protests

it's not only their land that makes some

EXO peasants it's also their Machinery

it's their tractors

it's things like this which despite

being the products of modern capitalist

Society

somehow have acquired the form and

acquired the status of some kind of

um means of production

to which labor is inexorably attached

which augments labor for the purposes of

the reproduction of the very conditions

of Labor now the reason for that let's

just keep using this example of trackers

is because these tractors

are the product of a again a specific

relationship between the individual and

the universal Community the universal

community in this case not being the

state of the Dutch State giving everyone

free tractors

but the banks the central banks which

also by the way act as feudal rent rent

your land landlords right they

provide the capital to the farmers

with which they can acquire these means

of production

which they also charge interest upon and

and basically

um even lease out to them

having the same having an identical

relationship between a rentier landowner

and a peasant Okay the reason we call it

though an EXO peasant

is because usually The Peasants claim to

the land uh is

um

is backwards right it's from the past

here there's a claim to the land that's

based on let's say a line of credit

opened by a bank or some kind of lease

by a monopolist corporation you know all

the Monopoly corporations are tied to

the state so this is how you have an EXO

peasantry and EXO peasantry's means of

production

descend upon them from the future it's

like an exoskeleton latching onto your

body from the future that's what defines

the EXO peasantry

that's what creates the EXO peasantry

all right

um thank you so much volume one and two

is about how capital is produced and

volume three is about how capital is

distributed can we assume that rent is

outside of the valorization of capital

foreign

I don't know I don't think so no I think

rent

it's a really hard question that's a

super super tough question

that is a super tough question right

uh in any case I mean you guys already

know the significa the Revolutionary

significance of the EXO peasantry

and the Revolutionary significance of

the EXO peasantry is going to do with

this broad issue this always pressing

issue of land reform right

the the EXO peasantry by the way oh

there's more I need to talk about with

this right so we're not going to move on

to the patreon just yet

but

you'll also notice that

in a lot of ways in a modern capitalist

whatever welfare state

it seems like everyone

is both an EXO peasant and

only on top of that also a worker

a traditional wager right and usually

the on top of that part is the gig

economy some kind of way like a Uber

driver a doordash drive or something

like that it's some it's a layer on top

right

um

it's in excess to that original

conditions those original conditions of

subsistence right

so

when people talk about the working class

specifically and they're specifically

defining that in terms of just wage

laborers

you really have to press the question of

but what kind of peasant are they

for example the LinkedIn uh girl the

famous LinkedIn girl

she uh

she doesn't have an exoskeleton right

she doesn't have an exoskeleton because

she's firmly embedded

within the institution she works for her

the entirety of her revenue is just

based on subsisting off of these

parasitical rents right but she herself

does not reproduce any independent way

of life

and my theorization of the professional

managerial class is more or less this

within the confines of a given country

the more one is dependent on the

institution

the less they actually

the less one can speak of their labor

even being bought or sold

or even being valorized

the valorization of Labor requires as a

presumption

and the independent reproduction of the

conditions of Labor this is what gives

labor

a quality in the first place of

independentness right it gives labor the

quality of being an independent quality

be bought or sold in the first place

Marx began with a pretty simple logic

right you have these English gosh listen

to me you have these English peasants

who are cut off and separated from their

original means of production now all

they have to sell is their labor remarks

this is the quintessential proletari but

I think Marx took for granted a little

bit too much

that's reference point of the original

Paradise which is uh he's describing the

fall of I think he takes that for

granted too much

or he just didn't have time to get into

it

would be a better way to put it

he kind of takes for granted

how this

original

Unity between labor and means of

production

it becomes a standard

by which labor as an independent quality

as an independent commodity can even be

valorized right

so that's a really important point

that's a really important Point likewise

I don't think he properly entertained

how just as much as there's a separation

in the past that is always the reference

point of proletarianization there is

also a um

uh what do you call it a reunion I guess

would be the best way a reunion coming

from the future

right

there's also a reunion

um

just as much as there's an original

separation there is always the

anticipation of a reunion there's always

a reunion forming somehow

I'll admit I have not

uh

theorized how I haven't theorized this

yet I haven't theorized like

how specifically does that happen right

we just know from historical experience

it did happen somehow

but for example

what specific relationship between the

revenues

produces this right

how does capitalists create how does

capitalism create a middle class most

leftists explain this in terms of um

aerialism

which is wrong right because it's this

is something that happens also in the

third world or whatever right developing

countries you can see the same

observable tendency where

paradoxically

absolute polarization

is relative at the same time that

there's this absolute polarization

somehow they're

there's this Surplus which is

reappropriated by the mass in some form

right as like a social safety net of

some kind which

basically recreates some peasantry

admittedly this had to be the result of

reformism in a lot of cases

for Europe right

so

it all rests on the independent

reproduction of the conditions of Labor

itself

sorry the conditions of the valorization

of Labor

it is out of this that rent is

derivative it's almost like Marx was

basically dealing with the way Ricardo

was trying to explain how the

capitalists are being exploited by the

landlords right

not being exploited but they're being

robbed by the landlords right based

the independence from an institution is

key to Labor's ability to be valorized

so the institution recreates a false

valorization

thank you so much Chris it doesn't uh it

doesn't recreate anything it doesn't

recreate anything by itself right

the independent valorization of sorry

the independent basis of uh

Labor's valorization

will always come from outside of the

institution

what the institution does

is

it

it's valorized as the surpluses of that

specific labor

it valorizes its surpluses whether a

surplus as a fall or as a

as some kind of ascendants like in China

it's in ascendance right because

everyone still has land at home with

their families that they pretty much own

right and on the extra they go and they

their wage laborers so this is like

they're it's like an addition right

so it's a surplus in the form of an

addition but there can also be a surplus

in the form of a subtraction right

because once you're separated from your

original means of production

uh your labor still exists as this

floating Surplus this floating content

over the previous form of its

instantiation

and

it's a very paradoxical relationship to

time right itself it's like this doesn't

follow a linear pattern it's almost like

have to have an extremely dialectical

understanding of how time even works

right because

it's almost like by the time

the proletarianization happens

there's already a new standard for

re-peasant

free uh let's call it re

um

it's called de loses

re-territorialization right

it always it is already happening it's

already underway somehow some form right

just how is the question and I haven't

even solved that I have not even solved

that question

um it's a very big mystery of

contemporary political economy

uh which I spend I I intend on spending

my life

getting to the bottom too

by the way

like how does it how does the peasantry

emerge is a very mysterious question I

think that is the question how does it

emerge in the first place what is the

origin of the EXO peasantry right

it it has a lot to do thank you so much

you're the best the only actual ml I've

seen on YouTube hope this helps and I

can't wait to see infrared driving so

much Alexander it has a lot to do with

the way in which

somehow land is transformed into

um Finance right

has a lot to do in which the way in

which the rent rents in land turn into a

rents Financial rents right this this is

a very mysterious

um

very mysterious phenomena

which should change

should definitely change everything we

think everything we think we know about

Marxism everything right

I I guess the mystery rests on this

basis this is we're in the age of kaijus

right

a Kaiju

um

will not pass our purview or our limited

Horizon one step like a Kaiju is uh

moving at a much slower Pace than is

within our vision because it's so big

right

and something similar something similar

is going on in the development of

capitalism

capitalism appears to be based on money

from money's own sake pure pure pure

profit right pure pure abstraction but

there's some determinate substantive

reality some pattern let's call it some

symptom some Kaiju monster right which

seems to ground

the teleology the Telos

of capital accumulation such that

something that appears purely abstract

is actually just a moment in this

positive being right

and that's the era we're dealing with

that being said I have to get to the

patreon right now so let's do this

patreon so guys right now I'm gonna go

to our latest patreon post and I'm gonna

just answer all the questions

that were um

oh my God this is from six it's been

Jesus fucking Christ it's been like

three weeks

so I am so sorry guys I'm so sorry for

taking so long

with this

right

all right so this is our latest patreon

exclusive q a podcast except we're

making another exception

uh and final exception depending on what

the patreon community votes on

um

do it's the exclusivity of being able to

like listen in

although patrons are you know given the

exclusive privilege of

asking right asking their questions so

we're going to get our questions from

the patrons

Ajax lazy Hawes

okay I'm spending almost all my time

on my fucking book that I'm not

streaming so I don't really think that's

lazy I think uh

yeah you know what Ajax I really

recommend you just if you're not a

patron how about I just look Ajax if

you're a patron I'll just refund you of

whatever you paid me

and um you can sort out the details and

give me your patreon name I'll just

fully refund you as a patron

and you know you can just like not

support me

and

like you'll just like not be here how

about that yeah I'll just refund your

Patron unsubscribe for me and that way

like you know you won't have to feel

like you're entitled to uh my fucking

lifestyle so how about that

there you go Ajax so you're permanently

banned and you know it's okay you just

go go fucking uh spend your time

watching another streamer right

so there you go

so Orville thank you so much for being a

patron Orville asks can you expand on

what you mean when you said dialectical

materialism is anti-philosophical how do

you reconcile this with the fact that

marks are so heavily influenced by

Halo's system

what's interesting is that

dialectical materialism despite being

materialist rejecting the Primacy of

ideas is still somehow dialectical right

and dialectics almost it almost seems

like it inherently implies

ideas right

it almost seems like it implies ideas

because it's dealing with the initial

form and content Pro get out door

thank you so much love appreciate you

man love Tony thank you so much

so it's dealing with that contradiction

between form and content except I don't

really think it's quite accurate to

refer to um

the contradiction suspended in

dialectical motion right be between form

and content it's more like content and

then

not Plato's form at least not the logos

of

Eric lythus but a dark a dark symptom

right which is also material

so

it all has to do with the fact that

dialectical materialism does not begin

and end with the idea but the

development of philosophy corresponds

corresponds to the development of the

idea so far as it can

uh

it can retain consistency

across

its opposition in the form of material

reality so

put it this way philosophy is facing

this issue of how ideas somehow are

opposed to some external and opposing

reality right so philosophy seeks to

resolve this opposition

um

by relating the ideas relationship to

itself right more or less

in a way that allows the idea to retain

its consistency

so dialectical materialism is not about

the idea though it's not about beginning

and ending with the idea or the platonic

form it begins and ends with some

darker

Unity to which thought is merely

a reflection or an image right

derivative derivative image

so

that's my answer

some person these words being a patron

nice would love to hear more on Hegel on

stoicism

um

I think I would have to be going off the

top of my head here but I guess I can do

my best

um

for Hegel stoicism

uh

corresponds to

a loss

so from a historicist perspective

I think I remember I could be wrong I'm

just this is all about my head

Hegel is referring to the loss

of the kind of solidity

and

the kind of positivity and universality

of the Roman Republic as the kind of

external Unity of the people that's that

the individual's individuality

seamlessly

um

you know

subsists within and which is a part of

and it's just harmonious relationship

between the individual their will the

collective Unity to which they belong

and for Hegel

the loss of this Unity or the loss of

this extern the external consistency of

this form at least gives rise to the

stoic

stoic kind of Consciousness which seeks

to return

to the

Unity the

consistent Unity of this form

within the inwardly right

because the external world is basically

failing you

the idea is that one turns inward

to

um to find that same stability right

now that's an imperfect answer because

it's been a long time since I've read

hegel's

uh positivity of Christianity and

philosophy of History right sorry no his

history of philosophy bagel's history of

philosophy so it's been a long time

since I've read that it's been a long

long time

I hope that's that's sufficient

young Caesar do you have an opinion on

the unitary executive doctrine of the

U.S Constitution

people like Jarvan and Teo seem to have

a point

that there is in practice no executive

anymore

um

I I I do believe that the original

intention of the founding fathers was a

very strong executive that is much

stronger

than the English crown I I do believe in

that the royalist revolution Theory

right

and yeah the executive doesn't seem like

they have

any executive power at all today so

you're right about that

I think term limits

have actually

like

cemented that right I think the original

intention of the founding fathers was

probably that we would elect

a king right and then we would just have

elections to confirm

whether we still want them to be king or

not but like it didn't have to be term

limits because as long as they were if

if they were as if if they were ruling

till the end of their life as long as

they have the sanction of the people so

be it right there's no problem

so I think yeah the term limits thing

was

I think part of the Takeover of the

American state

by let's call it the Deep state right

booga boo thank you for being a patron

are you familiar with the book Lacon a

beginner's guide by Lionel Bailey no I'm

not actually I've heard about it though

I've never read any of the

what do you think of it does it provide

a good introduction I'm not sure but the

name is really making me suspicious

because it's a British name and the

British do not understand Lacon

at all and they always seem to

mess it up

and

that's I don't know if that's like

discriminatory or something but

that's just uh a skepticism I have

purely based on the name but I could be

wrong right

ah man thank you so much for being a

patient appreciate you so much what are

your thoughts on some of the Islamic

philosophers

Alpha Robbie in groups like the Brethren

of purity

um

I don't know much about the Brethren of

Purity I do think that the uh Western

enlightenment

gases up

um

IBN Cena that's how you say his name gas

is up those rationalists too much say

that this is the Golden Age

but um

Islamic philosophy I don't like to

understand that in terms of

Western philosophy I think it's

based on a different logos

and as such cannot be as neatly

separated from religion

as the purport of the Enterprise of

Western philosophy

so where does philosophy begin and

mysticism end for example I don't know

right

I think this is an arbitrary

classification which is uh modern in

nature

Daniel thanks for being a patron what

specific books do you recommend for

learning more about the 1979 Iranian

Revolution

Iran between two revolutions I've never

read that book

um

I actually could not recommend you any I

have not

read any books specifically on that

event

growing up

I have um

I've read articles documentaries I've

read

oral descriptions of it I've done

research about it an academic

perspective

um papers about it and things like that

I've never actually read a book

dedicated to it

Jan Brad thanks for doing a patreon

thoughts on Gerda learner

is there a role in the cpusa OR tracing

a patriarchy if you're aware

again I am not aware of uh Berta

at all so I

I don't know if I can have any thoughts

on them

I apologize

Mouse thanks for doing a page that's on

deridan deconstruction I have a very

positive view of very long

but I think if I learned more about

Dairy Dawes school

his followers I would dislike him more

but I like Derek I like his ontology

stuff

and um deconstruction is

not well understood

uh it's gotten a bad rap

because people think deconstruction is

just like pretty much

this fanatical Enterprise of criticism

which is more kind of like the Frankfurt

School

uh Frankfurt School kind of view

right

uh

deconstruction is a very interesting

Enterprise right

but it's used in a really like stupid

way a lot of times let's deconstruct

this let's deconstruct that

um

but overall

there's

there's uh

there's kind of

there's ways of of uh reproaching with

that as a Marxist

I think deconstruction is just a kind of

way to um

way to relate

the form and content with each other

right just trying to it's not trying to

privilege one or the over the other it's

not trying to say like this is the truth

of the thing

uh or This Is How We Must Destroy a

thing it's more kind of saying

let's

let's explore

a relationship right this is my

interpretation

let's explore the relationships here

so this is my uh understanding

Jan Brett thanks for doing a patreon is

your idea of liberal realism tied to

Fisher's capitalist realism

no

they both seem to allude to the placing

common sense with the opinion of expert

Authority

expert sense if you will thank you so

much Jan right I don't believe in uh

capitalist realism based thank you so

much Gabriel Raquel is leading a dairy

to Wing Revolt in critical theory now

from within apparently they finally

criticized themselves

oh yeah I mean that

oh that's interesting I've never heard

of that guy

thanks so much for the five

um

I don't believe in Fisher's capitalist

realism I don't think it's a useful

concept at all

specifically because I think the very

this very level of uh reflexivity of

capitalism into ideologies and

you know just

uh images right that he talks about

betrays the very

reality of capitalism it's not really

capitalism anymore right

now thanks for being a patron

any of your thoughts on the Marx refers

to as the free association of individual

producers or the community of free

individuals which is described as Sin

Anonymous with communist Society

is this the real free market you're

describing with Ron Paul maoism or a

higher form since a market applies

buying and selling

no I think it's uh it's not a market I

think the free association Marx talks

about

is based on a

the free you should think of free as

free in the sense of freeing the forces

of production

freeing man's ability to produce on the

basis of

scientific and aesthetic necessity

so free association I think specifically

should be read at cents right

pre-association is not arbitrary

Association

it's not an arbitrary Association

I have more to say on this actually

just trying to think trying to remember

what do I say about this

what do I always say

guys I want to remind you guys I'm not

reading chat right now I'm reading the

patreon post so these are just patrons

questions

I'm answering

I I interpret Marx's free association as

allowing Humanity in its Association

to be suspended in the objective laws

without assumptions of social

intercourse

I think that's how I understand it right

for Mark's free association means

not arbitrary Association but that the

association of the individuals will

can finally be delivered to some higher

higher loss

sorry more objective laws

uh

corresponding to a development I think

that's how I interpreted

Dan Brett thank you for being a patron

what does matter to you

um they

yeah

would you say that matter could itself

contain what Brad CS Spirit yes

for me matter is the matter

it's the content it's the essence

so of course that could be Spirits right

actually oftentimes the word spirit is

used in a similar way

the spirit of the thing the content of

the thing

they're kind of the same thing right

are vernacular so matter does not mean

substance does not mean a uh thing you

can behold it means

based thank you emila base Theory

streams gorilla Sun gorilla Sun

I think spirit is a very good

translation of matter

Spirit does not Plato's idea it's not uh

a form

but maybe that's wrong right

I could I could be open to an argument

that this is wrong because for Hegel at

least spirit is specifically referring

to the

manner by which things are disposed to

their

um

to their development in the terms of the

idea right

the spirit of a thing is referring to

the way in which a thing

realizes the development of the mind

right so I I I can understand that but

content or sorry matter does not

um

batter does not

matter is like Abraham's

uh sorry matter is like the god of

Abraham when it says

I am what I am

it's something in the real right

that's what matter means

okay thank you so much for being a

patron what are your thoughts on

mayakovsky

I used to like him a lot as a poet when

I was a younger

um and now I just

I'm not I'm kind of a little bit

suspicious of him because of his uh

I feel like he has a lot of baggage from

the avant-garde era now and insight

thank you so much for being a patron

how did you come to read and then

understand Hegel

I mean I don't it's it's tough for me to

be a good teacher on Hegel because it

took me years years and years right

but uh I I tied very closely the level

of knowledge I had of Hegel with

where I was at

personally in life like I tied it

together with my own personal

for me

Aesthetics

uh fantasy philosophy

um and desire

like all these things that were the same

for me like so me Hegel was

how to understand Hegel was

you know

very much tied to my my my direct sense

of self right first place

uh thanks for being a patron you haven't

line your name so I can't really

say your name you mentioned homo saucer

off the hand

on your stream

what is your opinion on the gambin is he

worthwhile does this project represent

something Beyond reflexive anarchism I'm

not too familiar with him I'm kind of

dismissed as well of him honestly at

face value maybe there's something there

but I've never explored it because

just the way it's he's been presented to

me I just

found it um

not interesting

Dante thanks for being a patron

you follow the nagorno-karabakh war very

vaguely which sides you more sympathetic

to

um

Armenia right but I'm just I was not

that invested in it but if I had to I

mean I guess Armenia I don't know I'm

not that informed about it

miles thanks for being a patreon what is

the specific hermeneutic approach you

use when studying history in theory

does it basically come from Heidi group

no uh what do you think of Frederick

Jameson another Marxist hermeneuticists

yeah I'm a hermeneutic human nude assist

definitely and I like Frederick Jameson

he was actually a pretty big influence

on me believe it or not

um

I don't have I don't know how to define

my hermeneutic Approach

specifically I just it's tough for me to

Define

my hermeneutic Approach is always about

placing this within the specific

um

for me it's it's pretty much Marx's the

key to the anatomy of the ape is the

anatomy of man

right so how does this fit within the

Telos of eating to the present

moreover how does this manifest some

universal truth of

all being right so yes Heidegger is is

part of it right but I agree with the

critique of historicism

there right

but

well sorry not historicism but kind of

like uh

historical

relativism we historical reductionism

whatever you call this right

Jonathan Keyes thanks for being a patron

do you have any thoughts on recovery

programs such as alcoholics anonymous

I know nothing about that at all so I I

guess not

sorry if that's uh

not good buy from SJ thanks for tuning a

patron

the essence of fascism is degrowth how

does this consistent with the historic

experience of Italy in Germany

Union societies where Pro workers and

pro-growth I don't I think they were

degrowth

I think their reconstruction programs

were only meant to save the banks

and the existing capitalist Enterprises

that existed

so it's yeah I mean it's kind of like

did Obama is Obama

not the growth because he bailed out the

banks no he's still degrowth it's just

the key is that the you have these

institutions that are trying to preserve

themselves at all costs

and that ends with degrowth right Eli

thanks for doing a patient is there a

way I can get on bathroom to Discord

yeah DMO mod or me on Twitter

with why you got banned and

what your username is

Doug thanks so much for being a patron

can you talk about abortion rights is

not Democratic struggle

um

it is kind of a democratic right in some

sense although not in the extreme form

that exists in the United States I think

the basic right is kind of democratic

but

as it's referring to the you know among

the people right the Democratic

usually when Lenin would talk about

Democratic rights he's talking about

like

which is in the interest of the majority

of people right and who determines that

is the people themselves like

abortion in some context is an

encroachment on that because

it's

restricting a very common practice of

reality among no it's hard to explain

right but specifically as it takes the

form now in the United States it is not

a democratic struggle

because the Democratic struggle has as

its center of gravity

the

anti-monopoly struggle and the political

superstructure corresponding to Monopoly

now

Roe v Wade's overturning

was a result of the Vestige of Bourgeois

democracy

as opposed to the kind of

globalist

non-democratic extra Democratic Civil

Society

so it's not a democratic struggle

because

the forces behind the movement are not

democratic

plainly put Emperor thinks between a

patron how did you learn about the

French Revolution

I did as a teenager

any resources you would recommend

someone who's not too familiar

you know I think zizek's in defense of

lost causes

was a very big starting point for me

and I read that in like 2011.

stalinism thinks between a patron I like

a lot of she ideas which can you explain

your conception of the occultation of

Imam Mahdi having a hard time wrapping

my head around

well

Matthew is a figure of the end times so

the occultation of the of the Matthew

means the end times have already

happened

it's already here it's just hidden

so you need this kind of specific

hermeneutic

to arrive at

the truth of

the present which is the end the end

times

so the way I can simplify it for you is

that

the end times are here

just hit it

just hit it why are they hidden

they're hidden because of that again

it's that same old dialectic between

appearance essence

so it's the occultation of Imam Mahdi is

a specific way

that has more emphasis in Shia Islam

which occludes the essence of reality

the truth so on the essence as

behind

the appearance

it establishes a discontinuity between

appearance and Essence much as it

establishes a discontinuity within the

ummah

uh because of the Injustice of uh

martyrdom

of Imam Hussain

so

uh that's that's the occultation

some

base thank you so much Alexander you

like they're they're it's an indirect

relationship to the revelation

it's established

Shia Islam is defined more by an

indirect relation

Revelation whereas Sunni Islam is a

direct relation to Revelation so Shia

societies

are hierarchical mediated right Sunni

societies are more a mass right

just

without the same

religious hierarchy

allende's computer thank you so much for

being a patron

in earlier Q as you talk about KOJA

being essential for your understanding

of Hazel and heavily being existential

understanding Marx

how would you complete this line of

thinkers kojev Hegel Marx batai

I don't know if I put it in that

chronology

oh okay in terms of being able to

understand that

I see

I think I would put batai before Marx I

think you need the Tai to understand

Marx I did at least

actually

what is Plato

I think Plato's at the end

in order to understand Plato

you probably need to

understand Marx that's my

money production

because

Plato's the beginning of idealist

philosophy

formally at least and Marx is the end so

to understand the beginning you need to

understand the end right the key to the

anatomy of a the anatomy of math

icosicon things between a patron I don't

care about the exclusivity I do not care

I do care that infrared as a project

succeeds and I want to support in any

way possible

uh

uh I want more an ordered reading list

maybe some of your thoughts on

mathematics but that's really it

patrons by and large do not want to do

want exclusivity you could do Pages only

tweets just so small updates of work you

already do wish you well

thank you so much I close second

irish-american you have been on the

record saying that Caesar from Fallout

New Vegas wasn't a true hegelian you

consider the new California Republic to

be socialist or do you follow the Jason

on ruge line but it's now deleted

Fallout New Vegas ideological analysis

video I

I don't know if I followed the Jason on

ruge line but I don't think the uh NCR

is socialists

at all

I don't think there's any trace of

socialism in that game

I think uh Caesar's Legion is probably

like some

bumpin

pumping uh

phenomena

and the NCR is just uh

also this Criminal

criminal corrupt

and it's it's hard right they're both

kind of

one is Criminal one is I guess it's kind

of like the Weimar Republic and Aussies

right I don't know

the socialism

in any video game is you the player

right it's the cybernetic

feedback loops

that are defining

your gameplay that's the socialism

so you the player are socialism aha

you're the central planner

of the whole thing

um

okay who represents it though I'll

answer the question I don't know I don't

know

maybe the Brotherhood of Steel I think

maybe the Brotherhood of Steel right

yeah maybe the Brotherhood of Steel is

like the Socialist

combines technology with like ancient

Aesthetics and shit it's kind of like

social spree list wait right maybe the

Brotherhood of Steel but I don't think

they're in that game

right I don't really think they're in

that game

NCR is Democrats and the legion is

Africa

okay that makes no sense at all this

like makes no sense at all

um in any case

thank you everybody for tuning in

tonight

and I will see you next stream

see you guys bye

think about me
