Hell Yeah Motherfucker :deng-cowboy:
The Battle of Moscow was a military campaign that consisted of two periods of strategically significant fighting on a 600 km (370 mi) sector of the Eastern Front during World War II. It took place between October 1941 and January 1942. The Soviet defensive effort frustrated Hitler's attack on Moscow, the capital and largest city of the Soviet Union. Moscow was one of the primary military and political objectives for Axis forces in their invasion of the Soviet Union.
The German strategic offensive, named Operation Typhoon, called for two pincer offensives, one to the north of Moscow against the Kalinin Front by the 3rd and 4th Panzer Armies, simultaneously severing the Moscow–Leningrad railway, and another to the south of Moscow Oblast against the Western Front south of Tula, by the 2nd Panzer Army, while the 4th Army advanced directly towards Moscow from the west.
Initially, the Soviet forces conducted a strategic defence of the Moscow Oblast by constructing three defensive belts, deploying newly raised reserve armies, and bringing troops from the Siberian and Far Eastern Military Districts. As the German offensives were halted, a Soviet strategic counter-offensive and smaller-scale offensive operations forced the German armies back to the positions around the cities of Oryol, Vyazma and Vitebsk, and nearly surrounded three German armies. It was a major setback for the Germans, and the end of their belief in a swift German victory over the USSR. As a result of the failed offensive, Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch was dismissed as supreme commander of the German Army, with Hitler replacing him in the position.

Sure, but it is good to frame it in different perspectives. I am of the creed that thinks he was pretty much Marxist or Marxist adjacent but developed away from it in his theory to describe the new aspects created by technology and such, which means the gap is to be bridged by us. There are others who read B. as being Marxist even in his later work, which might imply that the work on its own is already Marxist and Materialist. I think that isn't quite the case, but rather the theory advances away from materialism and it is precisely that field in which the most impressive conceptual tools are created.
That is my impression from mostly talking to people who are kind into that kind of historic development. For me this means that if you think there is no difference between simulation and reality (I simplify incorrectly) or even that the simulation is more real than reality itself and that the territory is rotting while the map remains the only thing intact, then you go a step to far. You have to see how those effects can be seen in the real world and which intensity or with what force. While all of us are victims of simulation and the hyper real, the reality of the people producing our goods and their exploitation remains deeply rooted in something that is real (in the sense of Lacan).
