It’s been a minute but howdy

I've decided I'm going to translate the MEGA as a personal project to both reteach myself German and read through as much of Marx's work as I possibly can in its original language

I’ll be putting up the translations on my Substack semi-regularly

Although I’ve worked with Russian more recently than German, German just remains way more approachable for me. If it goes well though, in a year or so I’ll move into translating Lunacharsky’s Religion and Socialism

Woah I started a #substack

I wanted to start getting my #thoughts on #political_ideology #theology and #philosophy written down somewhere so I can better grow and develop in an honest and #nonsectarian way

My first piece is an introduction to my general thought process around all these topics by way of deconstructing #hegel and #dialectics

I hope you enjoy

Still trying to formulate this idea but I think there may be something to be said about post-USSR the American left movement splitting into two sections, with the Marxist vein moving towards the French philosophical tradition and traditional anarchists taking up German idealism

This of course is not including whatever the post-left is because it’s hard to legitimately describe it as a left wing ideology

ChatGPT sucks but it sucks in a way that if you haven’t written a paper or read/summarized a book since high school it’s probably going to be better at both than you are

It’s more of an indictment on how our society has wholly discarded the pursuit of knowledge once you’ve entered adulthood than it is some scary dystopian AI tech that’s smarter than humans
