Have you read all their theories, or at very least Critical Theory since its so popular?
They're important texts.
Do you have any grudge with Frankfurt or something?
Educate yourself on Frankfurt school

I'm not sure about Holla Forums, but I do know that Holla Forums sure didn't read the Frankfurt School
Liam Perez
I'm not done with reading Hegel yet, the Frankfurt School will have to wait
Ian Cooper
Honest question: which of Frankfurt texts do you consider most relevant for our neoliberal & technocratic situation?
Any good short introductory texts, like some essays? (pls no 2ndary sources)
Ethan Baker
How many revolutions did they make?
How many nations are ruled by their parties?
Ryan Gonzalez
this is a meme-tier understanding of history, revolutions, and himat
Hudson Long
Maybe some of these?

One is tempted to reverse Marx’s Thesis 11: the first task today is precisely not to succumb to the temptation to act, to intervene directly and change things (which then inevitably ends in a cul-de-sac of debilitating impossibility: “What can we do against global capital?”), but to question the hegemonic ideological co-ordinates. In short, our historical moment is still that of Adorno:
To the question “What should we do?” I can most often truly answer only”, with “I don’t know.” I can only try to analyse rigorously what there is. Here people reproach me: When you practise criticism, you are also obliged to say how one should make it better. To my mind, this is incontrovertibly a bourgeois prejudice. Many times in history it so happened that the very works which pursued purely theoretical goals transformed consciousness, and thereby also social reality.

You Stalinists are a shitstain on the communist movement.
Josiah Adams
Why bother? The school created the New Left which was a direct rejection of Marxist thought and methods.
Cooper Lopez
Remove your Leninhat. You are unworthy.
Either way, Frankfurt school had been around since the 60s. Where is the practice?
Marxism, apparently, is a State Capitalism.
Angel Thomas
Lenin's Materialism and Empirio-Criticism gives a withering critique of critical theory. The Frankfurt school is the birthplace of postmodernism and the "progressive" variety of subjective idealism and anti-communism.

It's not a theory. There is no evidence backing it. This cargo cult science must end.
Chase Fisher
It is true though that Marxism inherits from capitalism the idea of a society centered on production.
Jack Green
You say a lot but you can't prove anything, so you resort to another theory, which in turn can't prove anything.
Not an argument.
While you were off jacking to how you can find flaws to things that people have already admitted to not be perfect(As such thing is impossible) and therefore losing attention we have with false rhetoric, we were off actually doing shit.
Camden Kelly
"We?" And what exactly was your role in Stalin's regime?
Jayden Jones
Holy shit what do you think you're doing?
Ethan Richardson
What that's supposed to mean?
You need food to live. That's a fact of life, not a "theory" or "idea".
Lincoln Mitchell
That is not at all what I am saying, you ding dong. You are identifying with something you had nothing to do with. You're as bad as the stormfags with "muh white heritage muh cathedrals."
Jose Kelly
11/10 thanks for the projection
For your information, at least I wasn't damaging the movement with useless rhetoric back on , which none can find a defense for.
Alexander Foster
That's like saying that since we always had things every society was capitalism.
Of course we always made and consumed shit, but that's not what makes production or consumer society. It is production becoming an ideology in itself, a central principle of politics.
