Status Updates From Por Marx

Like any other scientific discipline, Marxism developed even in Marx's own lifetime. New discoveries were made possible by Marx's basic discovery. It would be very rash to believe that everything has been said.

The immense use of mao is not accredited enough

Althusser’s essay “The ‘Piccolo Teatro’”, a Marxist interpretation of a French play, is a brilliant essay. A wonderful discussion of theater and the use of the play’s structure as an element of the story itself. A critique of media and its role in propagating pacifying, non-revolutionary ideology. And a wonderful summation of Althusser’s reading of Marx and Hegel.

Both very fruitful but confusing to read this side-by-side with Althusser’s self-criticism
