Also, I don't just mean they are reactionary in certain area or in their personal life (Like Aristotle was important for biology despite being an apologies for slavery)?

I mean worth looking into their thinking precisely in areas where they're reactionary.

Possible suggestions (not saying they're justified) that I expect people would put forward include:

  • Carl Scmitt
  • Heidegger
  • AHopeOnceMore [he/him]B

    I was gonna say Paul Cockshott but thrn I saw, "worth looking into their thinking precisely in areas where they’re reactionary." I don't think that actually exists.

        Yes, he uses simplistic analyses from a position of ignorance when it comes to LGBTQ folks, analyses that, to me, reveal a dogmatism for a particularly reactionary branch of Soviet Marxism. And that reflects poorly on his other work.

    • StalinForTime [comrade/them]

        I'm not aware of other ways but I also haven't gone looking for them.
