He starts the video off with the obligatory lib “totalitarianism 42069 gorillion dead” but I promise he actually sincerely engages with Marx’s writing later on from a perspective of somebody that’s done a lot of research on occult writings.

It’s a pretty interesting video, I’ve never heard somebody compare Marx’s Capital to a gothic horror novel and he does have a point when he says some people start looking at Marxism in an almost religious way (looking at you Gonzaloids).

    Yeah, he’s called Hegel. Hegel is quite mystical on his own being inspired by Eastern religions and such.

    When I took a Kabbalah class (it was one of those free online free unis, I needed some humanities credits) the professor forced us to read some Hegel first in order to better understand non-duality before we even touched any other text. As an extra bonus he’d generally flip out on you if you said the words antithesis, synthesis, thesis around him in regards to Hegel in office hours or glibly typed them in any communications.
