Simultaneously trying to get through Capitalism & Schizophrenia finally and familiarizing myself with the Situationists - finished Debord, now doing Vaneigem. After I finish Vaneigem I think I'll do Tiqqun.
If anyone has any recommendations for more contemporary work please share

>>3866I wish Mao-Spontex wasn't basically a meme that has never seen any real-world application or really any elaboration on in some piece of writing (at least not to my knowledge). I may be an anarkiddie at heart but Mao is pretty based

>>3869Not the guy you replied but I thought May 1968 was kinda influenced by Mao-Spontex.
No.3881
>>3870yeah I guess I was wrong about it not having had any real-world influence, since it was apparently a thing specifically in the 60s in France. I've never heard of anyone developing it into a theory though. like aside from the wikipedia citation on it (lol) I'm not aware of any actual writings on Mao-Spontex.

>>3848"Sett took another long drag, crossing the threshold between anxiety relief and low-level psychedelic experience. The only weed available in Hell were mids with stupid names. That wasn’t particularly shocking or relevant, but something Ratty noted when it was said.
“Have you ever killed anyone before Miss Vermington?” Sett asked.
“It’s Ratty, please— and not to my knowledge. I talked a lot about killing Nazis as a kid but like— god, I hope not.” “Are you not supposed to remain unbiased as a reporter?” Sett asked.
“Nothing more unbiased than cracking some Nazi skull, ma’am.” Ratty winked, temporarily embodying a caricature of herself."

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/daniel-colson-daniel-colson-anarchism-is-extremely-realistic-an-interview-with-ballast-review< You put forward the idea that anarchism is not a way of life, a state of mind, but a real ontology. What do you mean by this?> To speak of ontology is to speak of what is, of things, of facts - domination for example, hierarchy, exploitation, oppression, sadness (to stick to negative facts - but it is true that there are many). Contrary to what is often believed (including by some libertarians), anarchism is not an ideal or a utopia, "nice ideas" that we would see every day how unrealizable they are. Anarchism is extremely realistic. It speaks of things as they are: chaos, accidents, life and death, joy, but also pain and suffering, stress, relationships of force and power, the chance and necessity of our existence as well as of the world and the universe which are ours. In short, the "anarchy" of what is.inderesting

I read An apology for idlers, thinking that it would be some good anti-work text, but instead it just made me realize how much better off everyone around me would be without me. I already understood the objective, material benefits that my relatives would enjoy if I ended my life, but now I am convinced that, at least in the long term, their subjective and psychological state would drastically improve too.
