All of those comments praising Castro as a hero are infuriating.

Apparently when someone criticizes the actions of a Cuban dictator, they're automatically celebrating every horrible interventionist thing America has ever done.
These people aren't using their fucking brains.
>b-but he increased healthcare and infrastructure
So did Hitler, so did Mao. Doesn't nullify their genocides
How dumb do you have to be to willingly excuse or deny what Castro did? Forcing gays into work camps, killing dissidents and slaughtering thousands of wealthy (and poor) including many who helped him rise to power, spreading out poverty among the remaining Cubans, giving aide to other violent communist factions. Even if you applaud his opposition to American imperialism and like his support of Mandela, or think of him as a "liberator", you must accept the fact that he did many horrible things.
Every global political power has blood on their hands, nobody is clean, nobody is a saint.

I don't really care, the way Cuba was before the revolution was incredibly shit and it was pretty good. A lot of the people who got the heel were shits too. Mao is considered bad not because he killed the wealthy but because he thought it best to let the poor starve and see who happened to survive. Hitler because of expansionism and the attempt at genocide.

P much every single western war since the 90s has been with coutnries the US gave aid to, and often a lot of military equipment and training. I mean, ISIS m8. I don't really see the issue with the NAM.

A lot of die-hard old-school Marxists are convinced that Zizek is actually a Reactionary/Fascist who hides behind Hegelian/Lacanian verbiage - particularly in light of that interview where he said he'd vote for Trump/etc.

In reality, he's one of the few Leftists/Marxists I can respect for his grasp of Realpolitik. 19th century Marxism will only get you so far in today's world. Rather than tailoring modernity to Marxism, as many people do, Zizek actually tailors Marxism to modernity - hence why people get mad at him for admitting that some sort of violent worker's revolution just isn't possible in today's world.

They also REALLY don't get his conception of 'violence' and accelerationism in general.

This Cuba thing is the perfect example of why "I (nowadays, "my parents") grew up under socialism I think I know better than you" is such a stupid argument. People point to Cubans in America saying how evil Castro is -- but they were the rich motherfuckers who decided to leave.

Oh no, not violence. This is a strange and unusual thing in world history.

You must accept that Mandela, and MLK and Gandhi, all did pretty horrible things. Mandela himself had ties to violent groups. His wife is famous for supporting vigilante lynching.

I think you're totally missing my point. You're basically saying what I already said. I'm not trying to suggest that either political faction is more "right" than the other, I'm specifically frustrated at people glorifying a dictator, or any political figure for that matter.
It's this idea of cherry picking the positives of whatever regime and ignoring all the naughty things pretending they didn't happen and your guy is a saint because he's on YOUR side. You can take sides and say that certain governments were more generally misguided than others, but you should absolutely criticize your own leaders, and not put them on a pedestal where they're absolved of any sins.

My anger definitely applies to these types of people too:

>Mandela himself had ties to violent groups.
He had more than ties, Winnie also advocated necklacing (tire filled with petrol), but you have to see it in context. I'm not going to want to execute anyone if I'm going for tea with my local vicar or some shit and that polite society stuff is the bounds of my world, unless I am some kind of nutty edgemaster (on that note David Cameron wanted Mandela executed in the late 80s). But considering the levels of violence and oppression that were being committed in S Africa back then both inside and outside, that level of violence was appropriate. Another example, a lot of people criticize Guevara for executing people in the jungle and what have you, but what choice did he have as a guerrilla against a highly organized and violent aggressor? A lot of people don't look at the practicalities of these things and fail to realize these people are fighting not only for their own lives but something that goes far beyond that, and often they don't have the options we may have in polite society.

>>8782446
The guy doesn't like sports either, and they're legitimately amazing at a lot of that stuff. Best boxers in the world easily. I would imagine they're still innovating there in that area. Large large areas are also closed off from either Cubans or tourists so nobody really gets a full view.

It might be a bit disappointing since in Yugoslavia you had a lot of the same cultural innovation as elsewhere. So while in the USSR there was the whole getting a mixtape of American rock, there were home grown Yugoslav rock bands and such. If anything that got a lot worse after communism.

Sure, those people are idiots, but that applies to maybe a quarter of the people defending Castro. The majority are reacting against the faggots who automatically assume Communist = Third World Genocidal Shithole, in stark contrast to their nice, safe, comfortable wherever-they-live.

Most people are saying stuff like "I don't defend all of his actions [because they are liberal] BUT he was way better than the guy before him", and they're right.

Those people are also idiots, but for more tangential reasons. Mostly related by this anon: >>8782506. People have no idea what life is actually like. People -- liberals -- viciously fight against people protesting by inconveniencing them, because they have sanitised MLK and Gandhi to the point that they do not understand that peaceful protest was meant to be "militant" (MLK's own words). Imagine what they do to those who kill people. No mention of execution or detention in their own nation, because that sort of thing just doesn't happen around here.

Though obviously the whole process is still unvirtuous.

Debatable. There's a difference between resistance and flat-out torture, which is what necklacing/etc was. Same with Castro having the genitals of his enemies punctured.

>a lot of people criticize Guevara for executing people in the jungle and what have you, but what choice did he have as a guerrilla against a highly organized and violent aggressor?

There's a difference between this and Castro's show trials, where audiences would famously gorge themselves on fucking candy/peanuts/etc whilst watching someone inevitably be """"proven"""" guilty on some bullshit charges.

yeah, i get that. but it's more cultural marxism/progressivism that P is taking issue with, and this is why i think he and Z would get along so well. Z doesn't go for idpol at all: for him it's always about capitalism and lacan. he thinks idpol is a smokescreen for globalization (which means progressivism, because capital is always going to be on the side of progress and wider market share).

if they disagreed, my guess is that it would be over jung vs freud, not the fruits of social justice or marxism. but i don't think they would, i think they would probably just talk about literature and stuff and have a good time. i'd love to see that.

It's not so much idpol per se, as the reaction to idpol - which is to give oppressive ideologies/institutions/etc a "human face."

The latter, but since a horde of gun-toting Africans are probably not going to have the poisons to hand that will ensure a painless death in my sleep, I'd rather they just shoot me in the head - particularly when they have other things to hand that might ensure a far more painful death, such as tyres/petrol.

>the only way you're going to solve idpol issues is to see the bigger issue - which is that Capitalism/Liberal Democracy needs replaced

maybe. but it seems to me that Z knows that capital cannot really be replaced, but he also likes democracy, too, which is always put at cross-purposes by the global market. to me at least it seems he likes democracy when it is hard and difficult and challenging, not when it is easy and taken for granted as de facto the best political system (b/c globalization, progressivism, etc). so he says he is a communist, but i think really in his heart he wants a democracy that just doesn't constantly sell itself to global capitalism. this is a tough position to take but it's why we love the sniffler. he's a critic of what he secretly wants. at least i do, even when i'm skeptical about democracy itself and tbqh moldbuggian absolutism makes more sense to me. but i'm a weird dude like that

so yeah. capital isn't getting replaced, but liberal democracy might be...except by trumpian neopolitics or w/evs and not by communist stuff. it's an interesting world out there no doubt

if you were one of them, then good on you, anon. not even saying that unironically. i was following it pretty closely but even i was stunned. not like that means anything i'll grant you. i'm a recluse fuckface nobody. and to be honest i'm glad its over now

if you really want to go back in time, moldbug was laying all of this out on UR in 2007. i missed that train when it came through. MM does not equal trump, but w/evs. and whither now? who the fuck knows

Violence in the service of the people (i.e., to overthrow the state that serves the capitalist and/or aristocratic class and establish a people's state) may be regrettable (in the sense that violence qua violence is "wrong", for lack of a better word) but it is always excusable. Milton got this right centuries ago, I don't understand why we're still talking about it, especially when everyone ITT is the citizen of a revolutionary state necessarily bathed in blood.

All that said Žižek's basic point is right and Castro himself would agree, the revolution has to move on from Castro and continue people's power. Yes, continue.

There's not much to explain, unless I'm misunderstanding his project, which I take to be that we can arrive at our ethical frameworks through science (especially neuroscience).
>The brain is x y z
>Therefore we ought to act in ways a b c
is just as fallacious as
>It is raining
>Therefore I ought to stay indoors today
Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding his project, but I've heard him make claims exactly like the one above (I think the one I heard in some lecture was that he could use research on how our brain feels pain to make claims about how we ought to treat each other). I'm much more inclined to agree with Nietzsche and his arguments about the ways in which values are created through history/social conditions.

me too anon, me too 112%. but after a long long while i'm starting to take - for my own weird and tortuous reasons - a different perspective on things, because i think everything is connected to everything else and i think people should lay aside dionysus for the Greater Good. as crazy as that sounds, and i'll admit it's a basically indefensible Last Man goal. i still feel it tho

i like harris now because i liked nietzsche then. and heidegger, baudrillard, lacan, deleuze...all that stuff. i read it up and down and crossways. now i'm feeling the cyberbot. for what it's worth

long post

i have read all those guys, i shit you not. this is my life, this is what i do. not in academia, not a scholar. just a fucking goofball who rigged his life to be able to think about this shit all day. i didn't plan things out to happen this way, i thought at some point i would find an answer. there are no answers

>how do you read someone Heidegger and Deleuze and just go full Nick Land madman?

b/c it's important to pay attention to contrarians. the neetch himself was slept on once too. now he's ground zero for everything and could very well have an aristotle-tier championship reign over the next thousand years. i see no reason why it should be otherwise. he is that interesting and there is no arguing with him. not within society as we presently understand it imho

remember also that nick land was not always so crazy. read the first essay out of FM. the rest is madness as you know but he starts from absolute clarity. and NRx/DE was watching all of this stuff steadily unfold long before last year:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/arena-attachments/406213/42bdb859549f609953a0ca61aca0bee3.pdf

philosophy is a heartbreaker. even nick land is still i think doing marxist thought but it's turned inside out. land is Evil Bizarro Deleuze - it's sympathy with the oppressor rather than the nomad in flight. all wrong but he can't help himself. and in the end who's to say who's right and wrong about these things?

so technology is what's up now, tech and capital. harris understands the dangers of this stuff i think. and he's fucking brave as hell to engage with people without blowing his stack and accusing them of not understanding him. he's a guy i admire for that, even though i don't buy his utilitarian arguments all the way

It got a similarly entertaining and hostile reaction from the unloved posters, so I saved it for future use. So, where should I go? The thread was pruned or deleted, as it wasn't about literature, so I can't go there and I consider this the second best option.

Only you know what it means to you (actually, not even that lol).

Psychoanalysis is not about another person invasively interpreting the signals that you pick up yourself. More than the confusion between the sounds of the word, what is noteworthy is that you paid attention to it enough to make a post about this confusion. Same in the clinic, it is not enough to mistake one thing for another, but to bring it up and to speak it makes it relevant. Why? This is a question that goes back at you. That is, you could ask yourself if you think there is something sexy about this situation, or if there is something sexy about being sad, perhaps you'll find why this connection was important to you.

Perhaps a more important question is why do you think you have something buried deep inside of you that could come forward with this slip. Is that what you think a freudian slip is about?

And even better, there is another slip that you made that perhaps you haven't noticed. You said "why does this mean?" This slip prepares us for the following question about the freudian slip. You don't ask us what does it mean, you ask why it means something. In other words, it definitely means something, why is that so? Why do things mean things? This is the real question you are asking. You are not that interested about that slip in particular, you want to know why it works.

Here's some advice: Every person shares energy with others.
Positive energy catches on quickly,
but negative energy is especially contagious.
For this reason it is advisable to keep negative energy to the minimum.
And it is extremely important NOT to pass it on.

Now stop for a second, take a deep breath.
Do you feel yourself belonging to one or the other category.
Does it make you happier being in this one, or should you reconsider your values and lifestyle and make a transition, a "quantum leap" (haha :-D), which would emit the unneeded energy that was holding you back from the nucleum of your true self.
These are free advice, from me to you. :)

When you face a .gif that enrages you next time, try to remember that one film with the green grumpy character that hates everyone and everyone hates, yet in the end he loves people and people end up loving him once they know who he really deep down was.

Do you want to wake up in the morning saying hello to the sun, or have the first thought be: "I have one enemy left. Two if you counted God."
