The Culture of Critique. It's as revolutionary as it gets, even Amazon banned it.

Assuming this isn't bait, don't watch YouTube/listen to podcasts regarding philosophy or politics.

Culturally we're reaching peak progressivism, and economically sure it's hardly communism but pretty much every country has now a healthy dose of social democracy and even the private sector is increasingly in the service of the progressive dogma (woke capital). It's an unholy mix.

I think I understand what you mean and I agree but we can always go deeper. Things are crazier by the day.

>If we're going to be honest, reverse this
Mmmh I'm not so sure. Of course, company X pays lip service to the ultimate progressive fad because it's hip and politically correct, so it sells more (and if someone is outraged, that helps your publicity, win-win). But I see it as a kind of feedback loop, like marketing. One reinforces the other. Marketing is influenced by public opinion, and it turns influences it back.
So let me fix what I said, capital and progressivism are embraced in a spiral of destruction.

Marxist/Post-Marxist, was involved in Ccru. Wrote about popular culture and the influence of modern neoliberalism on it, and is known for his written work Capitalist Realism among others. Also known for his article "Exiting the Vampire Castle" where he criticized what he saw as a culture of "call outs" and identity politics infecting the left. Is more or less viewed as a martyr among anti-identity politic leftists for the backlash he received from more pro-idpol ones. Committed suicide. Good read, if a bit rambling.

The real revolutionary doesn't pick sides.
Doesn't care if its Marxist or Fascist, or radical theocracy.
He just wants things to change because he knows the current system isn't working.
