Reminder that Schoenberg rejected Adorno's assessment of his work and character which Mann had consulted for his Doctor Faustus; and that Adorno's writings on "Jazz" are terrible.
>>25637484I would say Cultural Marxism is pretty meaningful, it's the founding myth of our postwar civilization.
>>25637489By “jazz” Adorno means pop, not fucking John Coltrane
>>25637533A buzzword from the Daily Mail is the founding myth of postwar America and Europe? What? We’re surrounded by pop culture and pop culture values, the thing Adorno kept insisting was fascist
>>25637533Honestly, I think he was more of a freudian than a marxist, anon. At least that's the feeling I got after reading the Culture Industry
>>25637484>REEEEEEEEE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY ANYTHING ANYMORE BECAUSE THE HOLOCAUSTAdorno was a massive pissbaby faggot.

>>25637755Alright faggot, explain how I should actually be interpreting your favorite bald jew's kvetching.
>>25637484no all they did was create more confusion while spreading their mis-informed drivel. Henryk Grossman cherry-picking Marx to demonstrate that capitalism is 'inevitably' heading towards collapse is the first thing that comes to mind.
>>25637484>Now that the dust has settled, did the Frankfurt school add anything meaningful to Marxism?Lukacs wasn't Frankfurt. Benjamin wasn't Frankfurt. Althusser wasn't Frankfurt.From the remaining continental hemi-humanist predominantly pseudo-structuralist Marxists of the mid 20th century Europe, we learn what not to do.Lukacs supported armed workers councils in Hungary 1956 while participating in an attempt to dominate the rump HWP by worker aligned party elites.Benjamin hyperstasised hypertext and went op shopping.Althusser allowed for the theory that allowed the Kampuchean workers party's programme to be developed, and as Chomsky (a known believer in grammar) also supported the Cambodian genocide this means Althusser was also good. (They split over the issue of gender politics, Althusser obviously takes the correct position. Chomsky once again vascillates on absolutisation of violence *1).So what not to do: talk about things disconnected from the reproduction of value in immanent life / autogestation. What not to do: fail to participate to the extent you can in revolutionary movements about you. What not to do: write in boring ways instead of create an index card based hyperstack of op-shops. What not to do: not provide the theoretical tools for immanentising the overthrow of class.*2*1 The adults in the audience are free to get the joke.*2 Khieu Samphan did falsify the elimination of the bourgeois relationship as the physical elimination of the constituent members of the bourgeoisie; a valuable falsification. We should, however, seriously consider replicating this falsification in the American context.
