Did Marx spend a great deal of time on non-gender specific pronouns?

I mean, I have read most of it and dont recall much mention of these issues.

The truly amazing thing about leftists is the absolute brass neck with which you will happily sit and defend genocide.

They're losing this one and they're starting to get quite cross about it. People are starting to say things like 'Yeah, but you're not a woman, are you? Not really?' and it's driving them (even more) mental.

It's absolutely part of the same thing, p. When the left lost the political battle in the late 70s/early 80s, it turned its attention to the cultural sphere, where it has absolutely triumphed.

Oh yes, but Dr P isn't going to stop when he's finished with the transers, Dr P's going to give it to all the leftists, b. :cloud9:

I'd like to go to university and study whatever it is he teaches. I like his voice.

Its really not part of the same thing though is it, at all? Seems a bit unfair to blame it all on Marx.

Oh, I'm not saying old Karl believed in trannies, loved minorities or believed in safe spaces - absolutely not.

However, his latter-day adherents have certainly transferred the well-established socialist techniques of controlling speech, thought and action to achieve political and social control to the cultural and academic spheres.

I think MArx was more concerned with who controls the means of production, distribution and exchange than speed, thought and banditry in its many forms.

I had to listen to some **** here going on and on about how coverage of the two world wars never mentions gay soldiers. He was hugely offended when I pointed out that it didnt mention straight ones either, or indeed anything regarding sexual orientation.

When I said I found it offensive that coverage of the Battle of Trafalgar never took account of those in the ranks with learning difficulties I thought he was going to punch me.

They still seem to be upset that the film Dunkirk hardly showed any non-white people and simply aren't accepting the 'But that was the historical reality' thing as an excuse.

Well you are not allowed to grab them now, so that is out. Whistling is out.

Are they actually expecting us to talk to them??? I put up with many things but I am NOT going to have a conversation with a bloody woman. I draw the line at that.

That Howards End programme is rather good, despite it being Forster... but I am confused that about 50% of the population of Edwardian London was black :shrug:

My nephew was covering Trafalgar at school a few years ago. He learned a lot about conditions on Nelson's ships, about rations, and the role of women in the navy.

THe only bits they left out was a)who won the battle and b) what the battle was about and who it was with.

It was some years ago that a teacher wrote a ltter to The Times reporting taking her junior school class to central London for a day trip. In Trafalgar Square she asked is anyone knew Nelson's other name and was barraged with cries of, 'Mandela'. :hehe:

Of course he was.

What rightists are calling 'Cultural Marxism' has got completely fùck-all to do with Marxism. From now on I will be calling it Fake Leftism, as it is turning leftism on its head.

Marxism analyses social relations in terms of class, and concludes that there is a tiny ruling class who control practically all the money and power for their own ends, and then there is everyone else, who really shouldn't be putting up with this arrangement.

The ruling class therefore has to split up everyone else into sub-classes and competing groups to keep everyone squabbling amongst themselves. Hence identity politics (the Fake Left) is just the ticket, as it pitches women v men, black vs white, muslim v christian, transers v filthy normies and so on, and stops us recognising our true class interests (ruling class v the rest).

Now I have no idea what any of that means, but Dr Jordan Peterson knows this shít and he's a professor and everything, so I m afraid you are wrong in this instance.

The 'ruling class' (whatever the fück that means these days) didn't do the splitting up, a. Human nature did that and the left have spent the last 40 years reinforcing and formalising those differences through identity politics.

I suspect he means it in the sense that Marxism was about the struggle of the economically downtrodden and dispossessed and cultural Marxism has extrapolated from that to include downtrodden and dispossessed bumders, chicks and darkies. :shrug:

Yeah, right. Doctor. You've obviously had a road-to-Damascus conversion to the merits of the academic world, Sir C. :-D

One more time. Loudly.

IDENTITY POLITICS HAS EFF ALL TO DO WITH MARXISM.

And the right is doing itself no favours by refusing to understand class dialectics.

Nope.

That isn't the starting point. The downtroddenness and dispossesedness was just a by-product of the social relations, and not the focus. The failure of the left was to think it was about compassion, rather than building an alternative and better system, however difficult and unrealistic that might have been.

There is no such thing as class any more; you're 40 years out of date. We've had a grocer's daugfhter as prime minister and northern factory workers own houses, cars and smartphones.

The Conservative government of 1979 to the mid 1980s liberated us all from the confines of class.

:nod: This is why the left had to shift its tactics to the non-political sphere. Mrs T turned socialism into a dirty word and made ideas like class struggle seem woefully old-fashioned. You can't claim to be acting on behalf of a social group who repeatedly express their unwillingness for you to do so democratically, so the left moved onto minorities instead.

Professor in the USA simply means employed. In the UK it actually means something- it requires a research profile, a series of publications, a demonstrable body of knowledge, insight and expertise.

Every **** with a piece of chalk is a Professor in the US.

In short, that bloke knows **** all. I bet he got sacked from a university for nobbing the undergrads.

Well since you clearly know best, you ought to advise Dr Jordan Peterson that he is doing it wrong EXCEPT HE'S GOT A BRAIN THE SIZE OF A FÚCKING PLANET AND PROBABLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE SUBJECT THAN AN IRISH SCRIBBLER FOR FÚCK'S SAKE.

Yes. And a chair.

Is it a special chair, do you know? Not like Professor Stephen Hawking's special chair, but all fancy and gold like a throne?

Whenever I hear someone is the holds the Cyril Regis Chair of Chemistry or whatever, I like to imagine a right fancy sort of a chair.

No, your ideas of class are out of date.

Class isn't about wearing a flat cap, working in a factory and speaking in a regional accent. Class, in pure Marxist terms, is where you stand in relation to the ownership of the means of production, and most people own fùck all of it, and have no power in society. Class isn't out-of-date, but the old stereotyped ideas of what it is are out of date.

If I thought anyone actually READ my posts, rather than triggering off some keyword and then talking about something entirely tangential while ignoring my points, I would elaborate.

Ain't worf it, though. :sulk:

Apart from the fact that were hardly any northern factory workers left by the time she had finished, she did not destroy class, merely the mechanism through which it expressed itself ie the unions.

She destroyed a centrist consensus and thus unleashed socialism onto british politics.

Anyone working for someone else who is frstrated that they don't own these 'means of production' is at liberty to go and work for themselves, aren't they? A self-employed window cleaner owns his means of production, doesn't he?

The concept of class is only meaningful if people feel its gradations applies to them, though. People don't feel like that anymore. Tell a family with a four-bedroom house, two new cars, foreign holidays and nice, white-collar jobs which provide a comfortable standard of living that they are in fact the new proletariat because they don't own the means of production and they will - not unreasonably - tell you to fück off.

In short, the concept of 'class' as understood by Marx is hopelessly out of date.
