:sicko-luna: :sicko-luna: :sicko-luna: Luna fucking slaps. She does incredible education work on youtube and on top of that she's busting her ass translating textbooks on the side, makes me want to get more involved helping the cause
She was also one of the driving forces behind the #SOSUSA meme ratioing the state dept op. That shit owned so much
America was named after some Italian map-maker named Amerigo, which is an Italianization of the German name Emmerich, so "Emerican" really isn't that weird of a name, IMO.
Roland Emmerich, the director of Independence Day, could therefore be called Roland America
I honestly always thought his name was a reference to the skating brand "Emerica." His age puts him as a college student right at the height of the brand's popularity.
Weirdos naming their unfortunate children after the US :amerikkka:
Until I read your comment thread I thought it was an online pseudonym lol
I hope she can get this published in book form as well because I like holding books.
Is the work of political theory through dialectical materialism carried out in any kind of sustained way anywhere besides Vietnam?
Xi Jinping, for example, is obviously a Marxist and has a Marxist outlook, but he is not a theoretician. He is motivated by realpolitik rather than theory -- the latter comes afterwards and is generated by others to justify whatever the CPC does. (Not a criticism, just a general observation.) On the other side, you have works like the Coming Insurrection that are programmatic but haven't actually been implemented.
Currently Vietnam seems like an exception in regards to an ongoing Marxist project that bridges the practical and theoretical.
What I'm trying to do is articulate a trajectory of theory to practice, rather than practice to theory.
I acknowledge it's a bit slippery--dare I say dialectical? I would also point out that "any kind of sustained way" is the crucial distinction I am making. "Any kind," as you truncated it, is very different and I think too generalzed.
