Why not, then, shamelessly and courageously ENDORSE the boring standard reproach according to which, Marxism is a "secularized religion," with Lenin as the Messiah, etc.? Yes, assuming the proletarian standpoint IS EXACTLY like making a leap of faith and assuming a full subjective engagement for its Cause; yes, the "truth" of Marxism is perceptible only to those who accomplish this leap, NOT to any neutral observers. What the EXTERNALITY means here is that this truth is nonetheless UNIVERSAL, not just the "point-of-view" of a particular historical subject: "external" intellectuals are needed because the working class cannot immediately perceive ITS OWN PLACE within the social totality which enables it to accomplish its "mission" - this insight has to be mediated through an external element.

once of his schticks last year was about how we find it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, which i guess is related

I don’t know if they “deserve” it but I wouldn’t be so quick to belittle blackfoot’s love of their homeland. I mean do you “deserve” to live in your settler country? And if you don’t, are you happy to go back to England or Poland or whatever third world country your ancestors came from?

my ancestors came from proud alsace so yeah i'd go back
Hmmm, i'm skeptical. I sure as fuck ain't going back to Essex. I was born on this soil!

the settler-settled relationship is an incomplete analysis we dwell on too much. the french originally conquered and settled canada but for the last ~250 years have been the negres blancs d'amerique
gonna have to agree wit h this. every society ever is a conqueror, ya know. even the settled were/are settlers,. , deal with it
