The #Professors way, not to say #Anarchism 🤭:
"The #abolition of the totality would, then, allow for the possible constitution of very different, non-totalizing, forms of the political coordination and regulation of #society."
In full context:
"Finally, the notion that #capital constitutes the historical Subject also suggests that the realm of #politics in a #postcapitalist society should not be seen in terms of a totality that is hindered in #capitalism from emerging fully. Indeed, it implies the contrary—that an institutionally totalizing form of politics should be interpreted as an expression of the #political coordination of capital as the totality, subject to its constraints and imperatives, rather than as the overcoming of capital. The #abolition of the totality would, then, allow for the possible constitution of very different, non-totalizing, forms of the political coordination and regulation of #society." - #MoishePostone
I still like it 😊

On Auschwitz
"A capitalist factory is a place where #value is produced, which "unfortunately" must take the form of the production of goods. The concrete is produced as the necessary carrier of the #abstract. The extermination camps, in contrast, were not a horrific version of such a factory, but must rather be seen as its grotesque Aryan anti-capitalist negation. #Auschwitz was a factory for the #annihilation of value, that is, for the annihilation of the personification of the abstract. It had the organization of a diabolical industrial process with the aim of liberating the concrete from the abstract. The first step to this was #dehumanization, that is, to tear away the mask of humanity and show the Jews for what they really are, shadows, digits, abstractions. The second step was then to eradicate this abstractness, to turn it into smoke, but also to try to siphon off the last remnants of concrete representational use value: clothes, gold, hair, soap. Auschwitz, not the seizure of power in 1933, was the real German Revolution - the real sham upheaval of the existing social formation. This act was to save the world from the tyranny of the abstract. With it, however, the #Nazis "liberated themselves from humanity" --- #MoishePostone 1988

Zu Auschwitz
»Eine kapitalistische Fabrik ist ein Ort, an dem #Wert produziert wird, der »unglücklicherweise« die Form der Produktion von Gütern annehmen muß. Das Konkrete wird als der notwendige Träger des #Abstrakten produziert. Die Ausrottungslager waren demgegenüber keine entsetzliche Version einer solchen Fabrik, sondern müssen eher als ihre groteske arische antikapitalistische Negation gesehen werden. #Auschwitz war eine Fabrik zur #Vernichtung des Werts, das heißt zur Vernichtung der Personifizierung des Abstrakten. Sie hatte die Organisation eines teuflischen industriellen Prozesses mit dem Ziel, das Konkrete vom Abstrakten zu befreien. Der erste Schritt dazu war die #Entmenschlichung, das heißt, die Maske der Menschlichkeit wegzureißen und die Juden als das zu zeigen, was sie wirklich sind, Schatten, Ziffern, Abstraktionen. Der zweite Schritt war dann, diese Abstraktheit auszurotten, sie in Rauch zu verwandeln, jedoch auch zu versuchen, die letzten Reste des konkreten gegenständlichen Gebrauchswerts abzuschöpfen: Kleider, Gold, Haare, Seife. Auschwitz, nicht die Machtergreifung 1933, war die wirkliche Deutsche Revolution - die wirkliche Schein-Umwälzung der bestehenden Gesellschaftsformation. Diese Tat sollte die Welt vor der Tyrannei des Abstrakten bewahren. Damit jedoch »befreitem die #Nazis sich selbst aus der Menschheit« --- #MoishePostone 1988

A better world is impossible!
Everyone directs his thoughts towards extinct someone else who is responsible for this shithole planet.
You are not a real #Anticapitalist, if you only blame the rich and don't see your own footprint.
It was the working class that prevented the final collapse of state-CAPITALISM in Soviet Union and China.
It is all about the invisible value behind the processing of capital as #Marx stated. Once violent pseudo-revuluzzers identified this value with the Jews.
We all know how it ended. Did #capitalism collapse? No. Why would it if we would kill all #Billionaires? It wouldn't!
Capitalism can exist without Billionaires, but not without working class.

@naimallow I consider it a left value-critique (post-Marxist) criticism of the left. However, most ppl. are not ready to understand, that antisemitism is not a subcategory of racism. #MoishePostone
A must for a Leftist interested in Antisemitism.
