This is true.

In the days of plantation-slavery a vast majority of slaves were content with their lives as slaves, one could not get them to resist or see its tyran...

You mean these are the same? No difference needs to be drawn in order to make a distinction, which would indeed imply, as Hegel says, going beyond the...

That is just the knowledge I am trying to get at, how did you determine this?

Then clearly you assign a limit of time to effectiveness. This seems most strange to me, as I am still being affected by thinkers who are long dead th...

I was speaking with a person who claimed to have done post-doctoral work on Hegel, he claimed to be well-versed and knowledgeable on the subject. He a...

MARX AND THE SERIOUS QUESTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY II: "To nationalise the land, in order to let it out in small plots to individuals or working men's ...

I am not a Marxist. It is intellectuals, those who use words to solve problems, that are outnumbered against systems of violence. Sadly, we are not sm...

He can't even be trusted in this domain, actually, it's even worse. His pop-psych stance is one of complete cherry picking. Let me cite just a few rev...

What's most interesting is that he has a history of distorting intellectual's positions. He did the exact same thing with Jung... now, I don't know al...

What's most interesting is that I don't think I called you any names? I was trying very hard not to do that, but I did accuse you of things based on y...

Praxis is here spot on. Everything that makes up an individual is determined by the system into which he is born... for all objectors and haters -- go...

Good lord, you have got to be kidding me? I think you mean, the workers?

If you had actually read Hegel on identity, which I am highly skeptical of given your exposition, then you would know that Hegel does exactly the oppo...

Concise clarity here. I would encourage those who are objecting to stop trying construct strawmen and argue instead, why they disagree. 1) can we ever...

Pick a different word if you don't like it. The point is that the response is totally reasonable. Learning that dictators ruthlessly killed hundreds o...

How does he know when this is the case? And further, does this have to happen within a set perimeter of time? As per your revision: "Also, it's a rela...

How does a thinker know when he's not wasting time?

Tell me what you know about the class structure of society? Tell me what you know about systemic oppression? What do you know about inherited trauma a...

So very true. The reason is because humans cannot handle psychological pain, and reality is painful, it is frightening = hence, humans cannot handle r...

SUMMARIZING THE POVERTY OF REPLIES ON THIS THREAD: So far there has not been a single educated critique of Marx's position. Those who have attempted t...

What class makes up the majority of society?

Responding to your error is exceedingly unpleasant. I only do it because I'm aware that many readers will not be able to discern your contradiction. 1...

This is indeed the dilemma: how does one convince culturated slaves of the evil of slavery? Along comes a man and tells them to adhere to their master...

All the better, then we can actually discuss the work of Hegel. How did you retain Aristotle's position on Identity after Hegel clearly demonstrated t...

This assumes we can move on without doing battle with it. I admit, if the cult is small enough and does not pose a threat of future proliferation, to ...

"Can a "Purpose" exist without consciousness?" "Purpose" is a word created and used by man to demarcate that which he finds to have value, that which ...

Any self respecting thinker must reject this kind of subjectivity. Whose "effectiveness" the Right or the Left? Quite consistently, I deny the presump...

I am against stupidity and ignorance, most especially when they come to occupy a place of authority.

There is so much error and confusion here I do not think I can address all of it. This is the tragic fate of our time. Misinformation cannot be counte...

You misunderstand the way democracy works. However, one can sabotage democracy, exactly as we have done in America, by impoverishing and depriving the...

The quote I cited above* where he distorts Nietzsche is enough, unless Peterson claims to do what he says Nietzsche could not? I should have use the w...

It is a democratic system of workers. There is going to be power in any system, the question for Marx (and it is indeed an intelligent question) was w...

It would seem to me that this is not necessary, Peterson's position evidently presupposes this. This is not my mere invention. Allow me to connect the...

Unto whom was the land nationalized in the examples you cite? Were these democratic nationalizations? Please give a citation where Marx's political th...

My guess is that people respect you on this board, well, I am not a respecter of persons, I am a respecter of thinkers. I am calling you out right now...

With all due respect, I don't find it very productive to engage with you.

This is exactly it, and tragically these young people don't have the resources to place him in context as an intellectual. There is nothing there. Eve...

Tragically this seems true. It is also common sense: humans cannot exist without society. We can either approach this intelligently or play the privat...

Answer my questions. All you are doing is asserting the same narrative over and over again. Please provide citations to back up your assertions. Pleas...

Here the formal game does not work, but more importantly, it will not save you. Nihilism is the denial of existential positivity, it is the militant a...

" knew that, when we knocked the slats out of the base of Western civilization by destroying this representation, this God ideal, we would destabilize...

Strawman. See above, reply to whollyrolling.

This is indeed the proper and initial response, but there is a serious problem here. The attitude you embody, though it truly does come from a place o...

This only proves that you are not a Nihilist, but a thinker bent on facing the negative, whether you know it in those terms or not. Friend, holding pr...

See above.

The quotes I provided are more than proficient, more could be referenced. Does Peterson believe man can arrive at meaning absent the premise of supern...

The absence of thought is not a solution, it's a resignation. Further, as I mentioned above, Peterson could only arrive at, his equivocated and superf...

This is a tough one. Judaka, I think you might be a bit too dogmatic here? You are absolutely correct about implicit bias. This has been studied in de...

fdrake and Judaka, without a doubt you have two people here that are really trying to think, not implying that I am superior to either of you, I just ...
