The only thing I can think of is Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord and Marshall McLuhan's work on media.

Oh, and this work by Christian Fuchs.

Problem being:

I think Fuchs is a Marxist-Humanist and I'm not sure what to think of Marxist humanism.

But I could be wrong.

Maybe I should ignore that aspect of their work.

Thoughts?

Got any book recommendations at all?

I'm looking for:

Media studies

Cultural theory

Communications

Internet

Social media

Management and organization

Community-building

Trends

Technology

etc.

^ These are the topics I'm looking into.

And, hopefully, from a Marxist-Leninist or Marxist standpoint (or at least leftist).

Got anything? Maybe advice?

    Right. Yes, there are a lot of problems in psychology and even psychologists threat about it. Plus, lots of chuds and conservatives in the discipline. And the "achievements" of psychology don't compare well to, say, biology (as we previously brought up) or even sociology, I feel.


    Which is just to say that something can be extremely flawed and yet still be useful.


    Agreed! Frankly, I've... had a feeling that was the case for a long time, but also (again, for a long time), I was reluctant to take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion because I didn't want to be led astray.

    All to the good that I'm coming to terms with this logical reasoning.
