"Die Bourgeoisie wagte der bevorstehenden Entwicklung der von ihr ins Werk gesetzten Produktionsordnung nicht mehr ins Auge zu blicken. Der Gedanke Zarathustras von der ewigen Wiederkunft und die Devise des Kissenschoners "Noch ein Viertelstündchen" sind Komplemente."

Lénine, Trotsky et le piège de la substitution : quand la révolution reproduit la domination

⚡ Pour Walter Benjamin, la violence révolutionnaire doit abolir l’État, non le remplacer. Lénine et Trotsky, en reconstruisant un appareil répressif, ont perpétué le cycle de la domination. Le stalinisme, fruit de cette logique, révèle l’échec d’une révolution qui ne destitue pas. #Révolution #Marxisme #Benjamin Lénine et le « train plombé » : la révolution comme coup d’État En…

How Walter #Benjamin explained #radio to kids, in the radio (translation in alt). This is such an absolutely wonderful piece, to accommodate a whole media theory in a short dialogue for a children's radio play. And how modern is this approach, centering voice and turning the passive act of listening, as Brecht would have it a bit later, into an active ‘finding your way around’.

Ich meine, das ist #Baudrillard, der schreibt, dass der grundlegende Fehler von #Marx und überhaupt jeder Form von politischer #Ökonomie sei, dass sie dem Kapitalismus bzw. den Kapitalisten eine Rationalität unterstellen, der dieser selbst überhaupt nicht folge bzw. die es grundsätzlich da gar nicht gäbe. (Ich kriegs nicht mehr richtig zusammen.) #Trump2 ist, denke ich, stellarer Beleg für sein Argument.

@Tinido kaum wahrscheinlich: #Benjamin hatte (wenn man die verschiedenen Analysen durchliest) ein ganz anderes theoretisch - konzeptionelles Ziel als #Bloch und nur weil beides große Projekte sind, müssen sie nicht parallel stehen. Fraglich auch, ob #Bloch 1.600 Seiten geschrieben hat, "um es Benjamin zu zeigen". Wo wird das so behauptet?

Starving #piglet rescued from Danish #art exhibit

#Benjamin is among three other #piglets #rescued after being left to #starve in a #Danish art exhibition by Chilean artist Marco Evaristti.

The piece was designed to protest #Denmark’s pork industry. But come on, that is not okay.

A member of the artist’s team coordinated with an animal rights group to rescue them.

I'm german, have been living since nearly 40 years in France, mostly in Brittany, now retired from University - continue independant and free research, speaking three languages, even if English isn't my most spontaneous tongue, I wanted to do this in english.
I came here like many others, I suppose, exhausted by hate speech on X, publicity, reels, influencers and a lot of other shit on facebook, instagram, etc., but I'm not really a fan of microblogging, that's why facebook did the job for me nearly 15 years. After a first account on mastodon.social @danahilliot with his long posts made me discover climatejustice.social - so it's not only the aims but also the possibility to develop an idea without cutting it in little pieces.
I'm interested in #decolonial #theories, #activism, #global thinking, because euro or occident centered ideas ar obsolete for me in all domains, social, economic, political, ecological and so on. After been formed by #Foucald #Benjamin, #Deleuze, #Derrida reading and studying in the 90ies, nowadays inspirations of mine are mostly Donna #Haraway, Ariella Aisha #Azoulay, Eyal #Weizman, Anna Loewenhaupt #Tsing, but I never stop discovering and go back to older reading periods.
I'm reading a lot (essays, fiction and non-fiction) and have now the time to do it, as I have the time for a lot of movies and other medias, any of them is influential in my thinking and writing.
