With nation-states falling apart faster than entries in a demolition derby, I’d like to hear someone explain to me what the fuck Marxism means today - in a world so technocentric that we’re not even sure humans (as we know them now) will still be around in 50 years (or 30)...
The politics of revolution made as much sense to me once as the politics of ecstasy… and for a long time too... going back to the Black Panthers... But when I look at politics today, all I see is wall to wall propaganda technology... where any real leaders (like the brave Tanzanisn President Mugufuli or the truly heroic pharma whistle-blower Brandy Vaughan) get killed.
And this is yet another annoying side effect of the “great reset” bullshit, which coincides with our forced dependence upon technology for our fucking survival - inside the great panopticon technocracy...
How else can you explain people (and even pretty smart ones too) willing to trade in their own time-tested biological immune system for a experimental bio-flaky version that hasn’t even been tested for any length of time.
As to what art is good for… I don’t even know… I do it because it makes me happy… Like a good conversation, when no one else is around… But I don’t know that it will ever be better than a good conversation, or being in love or witnessing yourself unexpectedly moved by something truly beautiful.
