Another fantastic essay. In so many ways, these investigations continue to unpin myself from orthodoxy (and I've never been a marxist) but in a way that as you peel back the onion you begin to realize that you can anchor to hard into anything. Not that I'm subjectivly awash in nothing, but that I don't dig my anchors in too hard, or in only a few places. Seeing how rotten marxism is but with such ardent support, forces me to dig into my own believes and make sure they aren't as rotten!

Hegel's 'thesis, counterthesis, synthesis'....was stolen from Fische.

Yeah, I know. I also was taught that it was Hegel at university. But no, it was just another thing he stole.

This is really good, but it just screams that it needs to be informed by Tom Holland. Communism itself is a form of Christianity, and this narrow focus on Gnosticism is really besides the point https://open.substack.com/pub/rontimus/p/communism-is-a-bastard-child-of-christianity?r=2rvuja&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
