Situationist theory and Marxism

[JazzRemington]

I'm wondering what Marxists generally think about Situationist theory and also what they think of "Society of the Spectacle" being labeled as "The Das Kapital of the 20th Century"?

[Monty Cantsin]

who called it that?

[JazzRemington]

Various reviews of the book I've seen have called it "the Das Kapital of the 20th century."

thats a joke, as even comparing them is laughable

"We live in a spectacular society, that is, our whole life is surrounded by an immense accumulation of spectacles. Things that were once directly lived are now lived by proxy. Once an experience is taken out of the real world it becomes a commodity. As a commodity the spectacular is developed to the detriment of the real. It becomes a substitute for experience."- Larry Law,

I have it as my political statement in my profile.!
