Marxism is reality
Marxism is reality everything else is a smokescreen or bullshit in order for people at the top of the totem pole to keep their position – prove me wrong ! Everyone remember that thread that basicall Southern Europeans vs Northern Europeans or ‘Southern Europeans don’t want to be northern Europeans” or whatnot ?
Was that an objective rational/logical philosphical and scientific debate ? No !
Karl Marx’s analysis of capitalism is recognised by scholars on both the right and the left as highly significant in explaining the formation and continuance of the fundamental economic and social inequalities witnessed within advanced industrial societies. His theory of historical materialism states that the source of human progress and historical change is not to be found in “legal relations” or “political forms,” but rather “in the material conditions of life” . By this Marx means that the economic relations of human beings determine all other relations in that society. Material survival rather than the development of rationality and spiritual thinking forms the fundamental basis of human endeavour in each historical epoch. In challenging the individualist, liberal theorising of many of his contemporaries, Marx argued that industrial society had not created a radically new society of rational individuals endowed with free will, but instead introduced a new form of industrial slavery which in many ways replicated the medieval serfdom of feudal society. “Freedom” in industrial society is thus an illusion created by a more complex set of societal relations in which political and legal institutions—designated by Marx as part of the “superstructure” of capitalism—reproduced and reinforced these economic relations as appropriate and just. In explaining this contention, Marx.
In the social production of their existence, men inevitably enter into definite relations, which are independent of their will, namely relations of production appropriate to a given stage in the development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which arises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political and intellectual life. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness--Bruce M.Z. Cohen, professor of sociology Auckland New Zealand
Diego Garcia went so far as to claim I was mentally ill or crazy in that that thread. The neoliberal capitalist class seeks to remove themselves from the problems they create in society from changing the site of change from being at the community level to the individual level. Marxism is scientific socialism and capitalism is not scientific is chaotic, anarchic, and riddled with contradictions. There is still no valid test for ‘mental illnesses’ or ‘mental disorders’ the only so called test is politically motivated statistical manipulation and a victory for psychiatric rhetoric over science : The etiology of mental disorders remains unknown and the field of mental health still does not have a biological marker or genetic test that could be used for diagnostic purposes.
Since the 1970s capitalism shifted from being more welfare or community orientated to neoliberalism since then psychiatry has increasingly become more about social control. The mental health system can now be considered as an ideological tool of capitalism which normalises the ongoing oppression of the majority of the population through a psychiatric discourse which has become totalising – or ‘hegemonic’.
