New member but long time lurker here and lemmygrad, it might not be a good starter post for my social credit to make such a theoretical posts but nevertheless this article is a great criticism of our method of viewing the world and basing our practice on it.
I myself admit of ideating towards idealism and thinking that diamat explained everything in the world and that the revolution IS inevitable and that there is no need to struggle anymore because it was all going to workout in the end…
I started applying the process of “negation” and “sublation” to my own life and decisions (history as an automatic upward spiral, etc.) which as you might guess lead me to nowhere, but once I realized the mistakes I had made and started epistemic overcorrection and refuted dialectical materialism(for a short while).
I would love for this to be discussed widely…
It seems to me what the author is proposing would only be possible if you could exactly segment everything in existence into neat little singular boxes without exception. I doubt that is possible.
Obviously we cannot, but maybe in the future… For now our best model is dialectical materialism which uses the scientific method as its main tool.
