i swear to god this is a quote "Foucault entered the underground gay scene in France, fell in love with a drug dealer, and then took up with a transvestite"

its literally like "foucault hated his dad, who was rich, and that's why he became a marxist-anarchist dedicated to tarnishing the bourgeoisie"

whatever you do, dont watch The School of Life video on Foucault

becoming a pilgrim of a lost fire

after this genocide piece that i'm working on i think it'd be good to start laying the ground work for a materialist analysis of leninism so that it's limits are articulated more clearly. and doing that analysis will inevitably lead to an analysis of the what constructs the liberal-order's state. this would set the stage for me to talk of an ethic that starts elsewhere.

i always return to this quote from Against the Grain

"I am tempted to see the late Neolithic revolution, for all its contributions to large-scale societies, as something of a deskilling. Adam Smith’s iconic example of the productivity gains achievable through the division of labor was the pin factory, where each minute step of pin making was broken down into a task carried out by a different worker. Alexis de Tocqueville read The Wealth of Nations sympathetically but asked, “What can be expected of a man who has spent twenty years of his life putting heads on pins"

there are so many handicraft skills i wish i knew. i wanna know how to make clothes and glass and metalwork and jewelry make. i wanna learn how to make from the ruins.
