Yesterday I was lounging at a cafe on the couch reading some Barthes sipping on a cappuccino. This older dude, probably in his 60s, walks in and sits down next to me with his own cappuccino and pulls out the books he's reading. Barthes and Zizek. He had disgustingly long fingernails and the musk of an hoarder about him. He told me he was an artist and majored in philosophy himself long ago. It was like peeking into my own sad future.

there's a good essay in benedict anderson's "the spectre of comparisons" dealing with it, plus another one that puts it into the context of broader transnational political enitities.

he also has this essay, which briefly touches on it http://newleftreview.org/I/169/benedict-anderson-cacique-democracy-and-the-philippines-origins-and-dreams which is savaged here (sometimes unfairly) http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00472339280000191
haven't gone through any full books specifically, though anderson cites a bunch

I'm on the train from NYC to Montreal and I'm pretty sure masao is sitting across the aisle from me. He was just ranting about the tyranny of the Canadian health care system. he has a book on the floor by his feet called Canadian Patriot: News from the Northern Front that looks like he printed it off and bound it himself, the Autumn 2012 edition.

I hope it's masao. he sounds so much like him. so that's not what I'm reading, but it's what he's reading

also you should know masao would never be caught ranting in public, if you had truly seen his videos. nardo

he definitely did not seem like he spent a lot of time talking to other people. i think he has evolved

I think its possible to be anti-capitalist and not Marxist, but it doesn't mean in society what I might mean by it. Not understanding or adhering 100% to a Marxist philosophical position/tradition is different than refusing to read him or ever research people who've studied what capitalism is and how it functions from a critical angle.

reactionaries are anti-capitalist in that they attack the global neoliberal order from a libertarian or nationalistic ideological world. all the major right wing parties in europe from front national to UKIP look towards russia for inspiration, orban basically holds up putin as an example of patriotic christian rule... anyways the point is that we should support the liberal, egalitarian european project against the rising right wing and not side with reactionaries because they are anti-capitalist or against amerikkka in aesthetics



finally we have an antideutsch poster.
