We rule by junta; we turn Fascist, because we do not believe in men; yet the basis of fact in this disbelief is incredibly narrow. We know perfectly well that most human beings have never had a decent human chance to be full men."
this passage from fanshen about the unexpected and untapped reservoir of power in the masses reminded me of something from black reconstruction

My favourite example of this is the terminally ill Rose presenting her oncologist with "unwanted volumes of Marx so that he might correct the vulgarity of his right wing misapprehensions of the socialist theory of politics and society." (Love's Work)
Replying to @SedimentedGeist
rose dropping the pretense and just telling people to read marx will never not be funny to be, it's there where you her true commitments despite her championing of hegel and kierkegaard

The existence of a guy who mixes the worst parts of common sense, high Theory, schizoposting, and logic-chopping and hates Hegel implies the existence of a guy who mixes the best parts of common sense, high Theory, schizoposting, and logic-chopping and likes Hegel...

The Wasted World / Gregory Marks is one of my favourite current Hegel exegetes, producing some really engaging, generous commentaries. He’s also some written really lovely essays on Gillian Rose and medieval literature

People often complain that there's no good, accessible academic writing, but I don't find that true. Many peers and academics I follow consistently put out amazing work, whether published or on Substack. I guess you just have to know where to look. Here are some great pieces:
