CLR James’ “Notes on Dialectics” (1969) is one of the weirdest books I’ve ever read. Can someone explain the failure of the comintern & the 4th international using only Hegel’s Science of Logic? Why would someone want to? Who knows! But he is having a riot
let's start with the basics: you need to turn a bird into a lizard to understand the comintern. without this step you can get no further than the static thinking of understanding
u can tell it's good because he keeps running up against terminological squabbles that other hegelians get lost in and just says "i don't give a shit" and keeps going
i am so glad i decided to read this tonight
lmao
i am fucking losing it
this is how he ends part 1. the best book on hegel i have ever read
