This was a demonstration of an essentially different type: let us call it a ruptural action. What it activated was precisely a qualitative rupture with the revisionist protest-structure, and beyond that, with existing social relations. In the ruptural action, division and struggle are absolute, while unity is conditional and relative. What many have described as “ugliness” and “rudeness,” we would characterize as a leap into the future that drew a sharp political line of demarcation between us and our adversary.What do we mean by “a qualitative rupture” and “a leap into the future”?
We should first note that the principal reason our video gained notoriety so quickly is that dominant ideology simply could not assimilate the spectacle we staged. Here, a mass of students exercised its power over a man who until very recently occupied the summit of the capitalist state’s military and intelligence repressive apparatuses. To paraphrase Brecht, it was as if the rain began to fall from the ground to the sky.
It is in this sense that our action—while admittedly ‘rude’ and ‘ugly’—effectively represented a reversal of existing social relations at the level of ideology. We are proletarians, and many of us come from nations oppressed by U.S. imperialism. Our action was nothing less than a taking in hand of our historical responsibilities with a view to transforming the terms of the class struggle that has produced and reproduced us as a dominated and exploited social class.

i don't necessarily doubt that. i just think that almost all contemporary marxian economic analysis is basically garbage, even if plenty of smart people are into it

is this quind? sounds like a nice guy.
- he posted a thread asking to buy weed online
- he posted a thread suggesting that the rape of german women by advancing soviet soldiers could be seen as a positive thing and everyone got mad
- he said that he rapped in front of black people and everyone clapped
- he was the first maoist-third worldist, i probably being the second, before it became a meme
- he dropped out of grad school, became republican and applied to become an electrician or something before he went back to leftism (he's now a FRSO member)
- he's smart

i mean traditional marxist economics applied to contemporary events. interpreting the crisis in terms of falling rates of profit, capital overaccumulation etc.
i havent read kliman, but he seems to be in that vein

- i fell pretty hard for the smartest person i've ever met, she was like... xbox huge smarts. she didn't really care about politics or anything. i'd be like heh i'm pretty smart and she'd demolish my arguments without even really thinking much about it. she became a teaching librarian for kids. she's having a kid next month and is probably getting married. strong men also cry... strong men also cry.
- another woman i met who was really smart was a logic professor. she seemed really depressed by it all. she's cool.
- i'm not really sure how smart i am. like, pretty smart i guess, but stupid is as stupid does. also like when you're told you're smart as a kid and then you isolate yourself as an adult it's easy to believe you're a secret genius or something. i'm not really sure how'd you'd measure or test such things. plus like it's not a contest, what does it matter. still, if i weren't so depressed i'd probably try to figure a way to challenge myself rather than posting all day.
