Conversation Between synthesis and Thirsty Crow

  1. synthesis
    IMO there's a world of difference between writing that's not particularly accessible and intentional obscurantism or esotericism. You're obviously not the latter, and I think what I'd recommend for you is to break up the more dense stuff with sort of a Chit-Chat style. So for every sentence with heavy terminology, have a sentence where you crack a joke or poke fun at the other guy's argument or restate the last sentence in a funny way or try to think of an interesting metaphor for your argument so that the neophytes can follow you. I'm not saying you should dumb anything down - far from it - but I think the main problem, if you want to call it that, is the density of the language, not necessarily being obscure.
  2. Thirsty Crow
    You have no idea how it bugs me when I realize I'm obscure in writing :/ It's all bullshit, I want to get rid of that kind of writing habits.
  3. synthesis
    I just realized I completely misunderstood this sentence:

    "The issue with not engaging in the relationship of capital and wage labor is, in my opinion, crucial in thinking about that class since this relationship which is manifest in a very concrete way is crucial to the development of class struggle (these are its basic actors)."

    And I completely agree with that now. My bad.
