Is way of thinking is toxic as seen in this thread:

Zachary Nguyen
Why did he kill his wife
Lucas Jenkins
She was a humanist.
Evan Ortiz
because he was bipolar
Owen Cruz
It was an accident. He blacked out as he was giving her a back rub.
Aaron Flores
I know I read his bit about contradiction and overdetermination but I can't remember what the deal was with overdetermination besides "stuff is complicated lol"
refer to Debord's theses on structuralism in Society of the Spectacle (1967), even though Althusser put out what was probably his best and most influential work on ideology a few years after May 68.
I don't like Althusser because he was full diamat pilled. Plenty of influential people were PCF like Sartre too but I dislike him for being a full t*nkie and his philosophy is the antithesis of Althusser. I bet Althusser didn't read Heidegger though.
Jordan Wright
From the quotes I have read from Zizek's work, he seems like someone who has master esoteric dialectics.
Colton Smith
Read Althusser.

read the man himself. It's not too bad because he's very didactic and meticulous. Not what I would call dialectical exactly, but what he's getting at here is that we are constituted by ideology in the process of a certain dialogue or discourse (interpellation) but Heidegger was saying but not in the sense of state power, earlier in Being and Time (sections on Discourse, Idle Talk, Call of Conscience).
Yeah but don't sage the thread for people who want to discuss!
Tyler Murphy
I haven't read much of him but what I have seen is interesting. Pllus Zizek and Wolff both like him
Jack Edwards
I legit kek'd what is wrong with me
Jace Ross
BTFOs humanists and "muh base-superstructure" fags.
he's okay in my book
Oliver Fisher

Zizek, Badiou, Wolff, Cockshott, the list goes on. He's one of the most influential 20th century Marxists, having much more lasting effect than, say, Lukács.
I'm not sure he'd deny the dichotomy, just complicate it.

Rancière > Althusser
Logan Rodriguez
Althusser is a tad beyond leftypol's reading level, I think.
Gabriel Martinez
What do you base this on? As far as I'm concerned the whole 'politics as aesthetics' is completely retarded approach by Ranciére.
Andrew Bailey
Don't generalize, please. And besides, it really depends on which of his texts we are talking about.
Hudson Fisher
Knowing what happened to his wife really makes me choke up.
Brandon Garcia
He isn't really a hard read but you need to have a decent command on Kant-Hegel, Marx and Saussure
Wyatt Bailey
That Rancière actually appreciated and learned from the May '68 rebellion while Althusser reacted like a complete reactionary. I have not read either yet.
Also this isn't a very good sign either:

Sebastian Morales
Is Poulantzas any good?
Jonathan Adams
Good to know.
Josiah Torres
He unironically didn't read books. He was the muke of academia. Check out his autobiography.
Justin Carter
omg only a few hundred? Scandalous.
Kevin Parker
Althusser makes a lot of dubious claims in his memoir. Honestly seems like he may have enjoyed the public shame. Read this review before you take everything in L'Avenir dure longtemps at face value.

Landon King
Mate, I am 18 years old and I have read a few hundred books. A grown ass academic who writes for a living should have read more than a few hundred. He didn't even read capital until after he wrote his major works.
Logan Richardson
Althusser is great. Who gives a shit if he tried to be shocking by saying that he never read any books? His generation of French intellectual would say anything for attention. He makes fucking Mark Fisher look like a 4th grader. Probably too hard to read for 20 year olds who think being a marxist means following a few ☭TANKIE☭s on Twitter.
Oliver Hughes
This is why you will always be a pseud and not the most influential wife-strangling Maoist in history.
