thank u

he calls the western ideal 'a-symbolic' re: the way capital consumes all symbolic meaning and turns it into a money-relation. what he's calling for is a turn away from this. (he's seeing our culture abandon old symbolic forms as it moves toward a truer communist idea)

it's from 2017 too. he gets at a lot of the things i'm seeing gen z kids (now young adults) conceptualizing. i think things like expansive gender identity, symbolic relations to capital, and the increasing emphasis on change are really to badiou's point here

Badiou argues that the contemporary youth, in order to bridge the gap between reactionary politics (left and right) and overzealous home-making (capitulation to the world as it is), in order to reorient themselves, must form new symbolic relations - essentially, to order the world in a new way

this is from a lecture, only 49 pages, on what contemporary youth is to do. it's a very good read, not too long, and with a casual style that makes it engaging.

i think you burnt those vegetables... how did they get so brown and smushed up like that

the most common search on a tiktok i made about bodily autonomy was “what is autonomy”

dismantling public education is unfortunately always a priority for oligarchs, so leftist revolutions often prioritize literacy programs.

a cold war propaganda line was even “literacy is the path to communism”.

this was an experience thank you for sharing
