I think the basic question is how can we mobilise more masses and prevent the right to constantly co-opt our topics and use it for their own agenda. Or: How to praxis?
It sounds like you and @haui@lemmygrad.ml have parallel tracks of thought, maybe you can get together in the magazines they created and brainstorm together?
I was thinking about the differences between materialism and idealism a few nights ago, before sleeping. I don’t think it’s either or, I think the shape materiality takes is akin to water, in that it assumes the shape of the vessels. And the shape of the vessels is dependent on external and internal conditions, frame of mind, mental health, capacity and training to think carefully and critically; and also availability of time, money, and necessary resources. This isn’t to say that people who haven’t been trained to think critically have nothing of value to offer, if they can’t offer much time, money or other resources. They may be the ones to dream up ideals which can then be shaped by others in the collective who do have the resources, from each according to ability, etc.
I’m not sure if this is going to be cogent as it seems when writing. I’m kind of in a personal situation that needs solving, so that’s running in the background.
I agree. We mostly agree on theory but I’m a lot less well versed on history and geography and a little more radical in my thought process. I assume its due to my upbringing.
