Greeting in Our 'Spectacular' Times

[RevolverNo9]

Having been directed to this site by a fellow comrade I have to say I am excited at exploring all that it has to offer. I'm at school in England and still forming my ideas- I'm not sure I fully support Leninism yet I align myself with Trotskyists (I'm not read enough to tell how different the men's message was) but I'm also fascinated by intellectual libertarians such as the Situationists (perhpas the group I am most interested in at the moment, and certainly where most of my political/philosophical reading lies); I'd be really interested to talk to anyone who knows about them, and if you don't I urge you to search for 'situationist', 'guy-debord' and 'raoul-vaneigem'. (Herbert Marcuse seems to say the same thing as them yet I haven't read him. Anyone know about him?) I'm also starting to have a look at existentialism. So...

Seamos realistas exijamos lo imposible!

Yea, man, the tripple post was kind of bad, but I understnad why, I've double posted before thinking my comp wasn't working. I would advise you get the book Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, by V.I. Lenin, it's the one I'm reading right now, and it's very good.

Hello comrade, there’s a few people here who have read works of the situationist international me personally and I quite like them. Herbert Marcuse has similar elements within his work but on the whole has a rather pessimistic view point – he couldn’t see the gap between the closed technological society and socialism or (I think he called it) harmonized society. but it was really the times in which he lived that gave him such a view it was the cold war era.


And on the existentialism I’ve been reading Sartre and I’ve started on some Camus – im gonna start working on a synthesis of Marxian alienation theory and Sartre nothingness theory (or my interpretation of them) to talk about a “moral system’ or a philosophy of life. Ill put that on E-zine latter.
