How to avoid the French Marxist wave of the Post-War?

tell me the names of those popular french marxist philosophers who emerged in the 60´s and 70's
i fear i might end up reading marxist critique of the west

You mean the jewish Marxist wave. The French and other Europeans were only useful idiots in the equation.

Why not read his criticisms? Das kapital is good

>i might enagage with different point of view
truly a frightful idea

Julius Evola
Baruch Spinoza

man, i was a communist back when i was a teenager....i read my fair share of socialist/communist books and believe me i don´t want to go back into that shithole mentality that those books infused me in my brain ever again

kierkegaard and aquinas are the two key figures in french marxism, watch out for them and you'll be fine

it's not meth you chimp, you're saying you're scared of being convinced of something like it's tricking you

I imagine your teenage self to be incredibly mature as well as having a large background in all knowledge including general philosophy, political philosophy, and economic philosophy. Surely, you had a deep understanding of the ideology you claimed to be while still in your formative years.

It is a trick. You can't apply sharing on a massive scale without force because some people, the hyper-productice, will be non-compliant

nothing you said has any relation to marxism
read marx

>I imagine your teenage self to be incredibly mature as well as having a large background in all knowledge including general philosophy, political philosophy, and economic philosophy

not really, i mean i knew what was all about

>Surely, you had a deep understanding of the ideology you claimed to be while still in your formative years.

now i have more understanding about those things than before

Are you really so stupid/malleable that you follow whatever you read?

the reason teenagers are so into marx in the first place is precisely because they don't have life experience, if u finished grad school and u still believe marx u a manchild for real

yeah i know, you don´t have to lecture me

i was a teenager you know, what do you expected it? i bet you also did some dumb shit back in the day

did you ever read one single page of capital

But that guy was talking about socialism and he was addressed by the guy to whom I was replying, maybe you?, saying it's not a trick. Socialism is a trick. (You) injected marx into the discussion just now, I wasn't saying anything about him.

So you're saying you read books on non-marxist socialism and that turned you away from Marx?

pure gibberish, i mainly stick with the communist manifesto

>i was a teenager you know, what do you expected it?
No I am critiquing your behavior you have right now. Are you stupid? Can you not read?

you wish, i´m not so easily influenced nowadays, every year i become less of a fool

It’s probably pretty smart to totally avoid one of the three golden eras of human thought.

Truth be told, the only major figures who are properly Marxist in the French period are Althusser and maybe Badiou. Badiou is weird because while he’s a Maoist, he’s not really a Marxist, at least not in his real philosophical work. He wears Maoism almost as an aesthetic.

All the rest, Foucault, Derrida, Baudrillard, all move significantly away from Marx. Lacan takes portions of Marx’s thought seriously, but in a way that no political Marxist would recognize, Lacan himself was a De Guelle conservative. Deleuze is odd also because his books with Guattari (himself a Trot) deploy the Marxist aesthetic of ‘production’ and machines, but fundamentally moves so far away from Marx in subject and goal that he’s not a Marxist in any meaningful way.

Derrida never was Marxist or a communist. He was at most a social democrat, and more or less was a run of the mill liberal his whole life.

Foucault started out as Marxist but radically broke with Marx quickly. Foucault politically identified more with anarchism, rather than anything like Marxism Leninism.


Althusser was a true party man his whole life, or at least until he strangled his wife. He was a key memeber and intellectual in the Communist Party of France and did the most work directly with Marxist theory.

Yet you willfully choose to avoid reading stuff that you fear might corrupt you. So you clearly are malleable and weak-willed.

...

better to avoid the problem mate, maybe you´re a weak fool too, you´re just pretending in order to sound more wiser but in reality you´re just some dumbfuck

"I may sound like a loser but in the video game world, your the real loser."

>better to avoid the problem mate
No? You were malleable and weak willed when you are young and you still are.

>maybe you´re a weak fool too,
Not an argument. We are done here

Side question: is OP the biggest general moron on Veeky Forums at this moment?

no y-you

give me a fucking a reason to read again that marxist garbage, really, is that really that insightful to read all over it again even though i know it´s pure of illogical fallacies and wish fullfilment ? c´mon, or are you just a being a fucking contrarian? enlighten me you dumbfuck

why? tell me why you think i´m a moron?

finally a coherent answer

the real answer that none of these nu-males will tell you is that books are for gays and losers and real intellectuals get all their knowledge from youtube videos
