Are you referring to the concluding sentences to Notes from the Underground or just simply the latter part of the text?

You are correct that I am incorrect about that. I remember reading it on Wikipedia, but it could've been of another Nazi. Apparently, he was raised so...

While Martin McGuinness was a former leader of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, he later became Sinn Féin's chief negotiator in the peace proces...

To my understanding, there are debates upon the translation, but the quote effectively says something to that effect regardless. Slavoj Zizek has para...

To my understanding, Notes from the Underground is an exploration of isolation and mania inspired by the revelation on the part of the underground man...

I have only read Notes from the Underground, Crime and Punishment, and half of The Brothers Karamazov, which I unfortunately lost, but the oft-cited q...

I'm not so sure that I foresee the danger of "militant Islam" within the Labour Party, who seems so inclined to be of a generally agreeable ethos in t...

Again, that's just a conspiracy that I harbor, but I just can't understand why a political organization like the Labour Party would continue to, at le...

Perhaps, just the campaign of ostensively ethical Eugenics on their part? I can't rationalize how what is just simply ultimately a Social Darwinist st...

Am I the only person who suspects for the Fabians to be entryists within the Labour Party and that their defense of Eugenics is just a cryptic form of...

I am glad that you agree, but think that you have only been so fair to Marx and Engels, whose opinions and statements often changed and varied. The ph...

"Ceremony" by New Order

I'd bet that they take their name from the film. I'll have to check them out.

I should also like to point out a certain irony to my having just made such statements, as, upon doing so, I am now hoping to be recruited by Open Soc...

I would, further, like to point out that the only agreed upon definition of Anarchism is that it is a political philosophy that advances the "abolitio...

Louis Auguste Blanqui, the leader of one of the political factions during the Paris Commune and arguably their better half, openly advanced a conspira...

Thank you! I'm honestly probably a better poet than I am a philosopher. Band of Outsiders is one of my favorite films. In passing conversation, I ofte...

You are lucky to have such a friend, but I think that it is all too common for people to engage in debate otherwise. Even within organized debates at ...

Sure, there has never been a longstanding Anarchist commune or whatever, and, therefore, in broad geo-political analysis, it can be considered to be f...

Well, the intention was to get at more of an existential absurdity and not to mock anyone. I think that they can be too cynical by that account.

LMFAO, just be a sanctimonious chauvinist. You must've just fallen into the wrong the Buddhist circles.

Critical Race Theory proceeds from the Civil Rights Movement and posits that racism is enshrined within American law. The disproportionate number of b...

How can a postmodernist have failed to have made a paradigm shift towards postmodernism? Perhaps, of the left-wing intelligensia more broadly, but I d...

I interpret Baudrillard as he was, which was one of the parties to come out of the absurd and arbitrary disputes within the Paris 8. I don't think tha...

The characterization of postmodern left-wing philosophy and Critical Theory as being somehow lunatic actually, as a form of expropriation, makes a lot...

Though I find for the vague support for Eugenics à la Julian Huxley on the part of the Fabians to be highly suspect, I think that a comparison between...

It's just a take on how and why it was that the war had begun before it was declared. I think that you expect too much from a series of Libération art...

In defense of this joke, I will say that it was intended to make fun of the winner-take all mentality within a society that is hyper-competitive via a...

I am both excited for the release ofXVI and skeptical of it. The gameplay looks great, as well as that I think that they will have finally have had en...

Most people, it seems are not only engaged in Politics but quite so. Becoming a-political in the sense that you are actually in opposition to politics...

Fair enough, but I don't think that you have depicted Baudrillard well. It's been a while since I've read that essay, but he was more or less applying...

Well, okay. To also clarify, it's not really this forum that I have a certain set of qualms with; it's just the socio-political climate that it is ref...

I think that ToothyMaw has just titled his thread as such to sound more academic on a forum that they believe is as such. While they have clearly conf...

About - Black Lives Matter I don't think that you give them enough credit. Though somewhat vague, which I think has more to do with being inclusive th...

Within the context of its use in the U.K., a "cunt" is a person who is psychologically and intellectually weak and lacking in integrity and resolve in...

To avoid derailing this thread and to return to the topic at hand, I went through a period of my life where I would compulsively read philosophical te...

Well, okay, then. When I looked it up, though, the definition that I found does have the same connotations as that other term, at least, as it is comm...

Oh, well, that'd make sense, I guess. It basically has the same connotations as a certain expletive used to describe female reproductive organs. Oddly...

While I am willing to admit to being a talkative diletante, as I think that I am the only person of the opinion here that reading philosophical texts ...

You were insinuating that I was a waffle, which is clearly an insult. I don't really care, though.

Well, okay. Easy it will be taken.

I suppose that cultivating an inflated sense of superiority via psychological abuse is a sign of intellectual maturity.

I am going to ignore your insult so as to further expostulate. To use Anarchism as an example. Even were you to cite a widely read text, let's say Mut...

I see what you're saying, and do, in part, agree, but am not sure that that sort of thing can be avoided here. Being said, and this is less common her...

Wayfarer is correct to correct me for also making fun of him and he is correct to assume that I have decided to champion this cause because of my own ...

Obviously, you don't, but I also that there's a certain absurdity of expectations within conversation as to what a person could have reasonably read. ...

I was providing another historically speculative example that could not be cited as evidence of that Pacifist sentiment is somehow colonial or white s...

I don't know, despite that ToothyMaw seems to have thought that Antifa was going to invade the suburbs was bona fide news in the wayback when Trump wa...
