Has critical theory killed any chance of the left ever succeeding?

...

Whatever you say

Is Holla Forums just a place to dump overly-intellectual clap-trap with no context and claim that you won an argument on the internet?

No, I'm trying to talk about theory without devolving into idpol, sectarian bullshit. Too bad cripplechan isn't letting me post the .pdf of Discipline and Punish.

Ergo, fuck off if you don't want to talk about leftism.

It still baffles me that a guy like Foucault who is about as anti-identitarian as one can get is lumped in with SJWs because he talked about gay and trans people sometimes. I mean, we're talking about a guy saying that bourgeois society is the most moralized society in existence so far, the influence of power becoming more decentralized and dispersed over time but losing none of its effectiveness of expression and suppression under capitalism

I think the radical left as a whole still isn't ready to accept guys like Foucault or the Frankfurt School, we remain stuck within the trauma of Stalinism and it puts blinders on our ability to theorize further about capitalism and the structures of power.

He's kind of like Fanon, who is beloved by SJWs yet wrote things like this:

fuck off name/avatarfag.

fuck you, unlike your post Yui's has some actual content

i care about the content (which is good) just as much as you do which is why i want the content only instead of name and avatarfaggotry and the circlejerk that comes along with it.
