“Each generation must out of relative obscurity discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.” - Fanon “Far from being exhausted Marxism is still very young, almost in its infancy; it has scarcely begun to develop. It remains, therefore, the philosophy of our time.” - Sartre

Jennifer Nash offers one of the best critiques of intersectionality that I’ve ever encountered. She demonstrates how as an originally juridical concept, intersectionality renders the illegible legible and exposes subjects constituted by difference to disciplinary power.

If one abandons Marxism, one abandons the last hopes one has. So it’s quite simple: we had better return to these definitions of variable capital and constant capital before unpacking what is involved in the State.

To believe that black thought or black philosophy operates purely outside of the history of philosophy, is to allow the idea of philosophy itself to be configured and structured upon a white supremacist and Eurocentric standard. I will always firmly reject this position!

Now being 230+ into B&T, I can say for sure that Heidegger is easier to read than Hegel. Heidegger has a lot of technical terms, but Hegel uses words that we know and use all the time “immediacy,” “infinite,” etc. but he doesn’t mean at all what we mean and that’s the difficulty
