“Just as there is no thought without matter, there is no matter without thought.”

“The end of thinking matter coincides, in time and according to circumstances, with the beginning of a new developmental cycle of matter.”

“The thinking spirit, at the cost of its own existence, returns to mother nature, dying of ‘thermal death,’ a new incandescent youth.”

“The death of the thinking spirit becomes, in this way, its immortality.”

“The starry sky, just like the entire surrounding nature, will be for the thinking being a mirror in which it will reflect its own infinite nature.”

Read Evald Ilyenkov’s Cosmology of Geist, “a Philosophical-Poetic Phantasmagoria based on the principles of dialectical materialism,” immediately.

Learning a lot about materialism.

Something for the Dialectics of Nature fans:

Dialectical biologists are frequently mentioned by Marxists, but I’ve never heard of this until now.

Hopefully by 2027

Very interesting, thank you for the recommendation!

English translators have unveiled a cosmology of geist in the oldest vault in Russia. How can this not excite?!

Read Hegel, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Vygotsky, Leontiev, Ilyenkov, and Spinoza with me!

Just read Children of Time. Uplift eugenicslop, unfortunately!

Unfortunately it is possible to spin propaganda on objective facts as well, even though the US often prefers entirely fabricated pretenses.

Racism, yes, but also sexism

Yes, current economic relations don’t really create an incentive for a family unit to reproduce. There was a very interesting article posted on this website some months ago that I can’t seem to find that discussed the population growth dynamics of various stages of capitalism. It alluded to the possibility of a semi-permanent state of high population growth, low urbanization, and lack of development as seen in Nigeria, although I am not sure how accurate that is. Regardless, the obvious progressive move that communist should be advocating for is for the state to take on the entire cost of reproduction, which would make previous subsidies look insignificant.

Contemporary capitalism is absolutely drowning in contradictions.
