Why do these guys criticize capitalism so much? What's so wrong with eating a burger at McDonald's?
>>24683384They gave you lengthy explanations of the evils of captilism. Read them and bring back some criticism of substance or fuck off
>>24683384French "people" have an incessant hatred of Americans that seems like an obsession
>>24683384>whybecause they are leftist faggots
They're all apparatchiks. Hired sophists.>>24683436Pack it up and move to Caracas Live by your words or shut the fuck up.
>>24683438Can you blame them? Look at what Americans are doing in Gaza
>>24683384Their criticisms have some merit, but their minds that produced the criticisms were diseased, addled by alcohol or drug abuse, sex OCD, etc.
>>24683674ad hominem
>Why do these guys criticize capitalism so much?Because it won and there were no alternatives, as seen in their chainsmoking.
philosophers have no monetary value so they feel attacked by the system. to justify their position they demonize it.
>>24683505This was years before that happened. And by "Americans" we are not a hivemind, Pierre
>>24683704>as seen in their chainsmokingheadshot, nay 360 no scoped
>>24683384They are antisemitic
>>24683833that makes sense... what about every other philosopher who didn't criticize The System though
>>24683841Yes, John-Boy, an astute critic will perceive the ultimate consequences of a system even if it is still in a more hopeful, earlier phase.
>>24683384You know they wrote books upon books about just this right?
>>24683841>we are not a hivemind>>24683438>French "people" have at least acknowledge you're a retard

>>24683438That's because everone can see america is the nigger of the world
>>24683384Real answer: It's pretty simple, they all come out a tight knit french academic system where they all studied with the same people, and they all read Marx. Unlike America, there was no red scare, and Marxism was still an option. They also lived in the twentieth century when capitalism was still evolving at a rate that could not be kept up with. There were also a bunch of other more novel disciplines that could be connected to capitalism, like linguistics, semiotics, psychoanalysis, and media studies. They're not all Marxists, though, and they pretty much all had their own criticisms of Marxism. Baudrillard and Lyotard started out as Marxists but later abandoned it. Bataille is more favorable to communism than capitalism but I wouldn't call him a marxist. Deleuze and Guattari take quite a bit from Marx, but are pretty much new-left. A lot of people think Foucault was pretty much in favor of neoliberalism. Derrida was a loser who wouldn't give up on Marxism even after everybody else had. I don't know as much about Barthes and Lacan because I think they're charlatans. You also have Althusser, who was the pre-eminent Marxist and taught a lot of these other French philosophers.

>>24683458Dennis Prager is based.>>24684317Why do you hate PragerU, you evil vile Nazi subhuman nothing.
>>24684481Yeah so fucking what?
>>24683384Read them and find out
>>24684584Can you expand a bit more on Bataille? I really enjoyed Story of the Eye, and from my cursory research, he doesn't really seem that politically fired up. I do have a copy of the The Accursed Share that I have not read yet, but from the general premise, even that doesn't seem terribly pro communism/marxist, I suppose it may be anti capitalism as you were suggesting?
