If you can eat and drink, sleep in a bed, read these words, and have a bank account—you have the power to help. Don’t stay silent. Do something for Gaza today.

The majority of trucks entering Gaza right now are commercial, not aid trucks— which means supplies are being bought, not donated. Cash is urgently needed to keep these deliveries going. Please consider supporting grassroots organizations in Gaza with a donation, especially on a recurring basis.

There has been catastrophic drop in Gaza donations after the ceasefire was announced according to several Gaza fundraisers and mutual aid networks. Don't stop giving!

socialist realism and the philosophy of art in the soviet is pretty misunderstood by both of these types of people shown in the screenshot.

the exaltation of SR as "the highest art form in history to date" is a folklorist position that loses the actual theoretical content of what socialist realism claimed to be. For Lifschitz and Lukács, SR's superiority over critical realism is specifically a superiority of method: its partidism is conscious, rooted in the Marxist-Leninist comprehension of historical development, where the partidism of a Balzac or a Tolstoy was spontaneous, conditioned by class position in ways its author could not fully theorize. This is a historically determinate claim about a historically determinate form, and it cannot be generalized into a transhistorical aesthetic hierarchy without losing precisely the content that made the claim. Lifschitz's own treatment of beauty as dialectically constituted (absolute beauty existing as an accumulation of non-absolute cases) makes this kind of absolutist elevation incoherent on its own terms, because it performs the fetishization of a particular that Lifschitz identified as the root of dogmatist and relativist aesthetic positions alike.

The quote tweet performs the standard ideological operation applied to Soviet theoretical production broadly, that SR was a sort of political imposition on an "authentic artistic life" that would have flourished in its absence, specifically by catering to the low intellectual capacities of the reactionary peasantry. This has the same structure as the dismissal of dialectical materialism as arid dogmatism that suppressed philosophical advances: in both cases an externally imposed political form is said to have suffocated an authentic content that preceded or existed beside it. The avant-garde occupies here the same position that "authentic Marxist philosophy" occupies in anti-diamat discourse, the repressed vitality that the party machine stifled. But Lifschitz's critique of abstraction was developed from within the theoretical premises of the reflection theory, in 1927 at the Vjutemás, which was the institutional center of Soviet vanguardism. Simply, there was a theoretical argument whose conclusions were unflattering to the abstractionist tendency. The claim that SR was anti-intellectual placation for peasants also contains a specific class contempt towards the peasantry that was coincidentally levied by Trotsky in his attacks against the USSR until his death. Aside from this, the claim assumes that formal accessibility is a concession to cognitive limitation, when it actually is an artistic reflection of the essential contradictions of an epoch made legible to the popular classes because those contradictions constitute their lived existence.

taking the word of anti-soviet popular discourse for more "trivial" topics like art or architecture without our own investigation into the actual philosophical and political debates that took the USSR to the places that it did, mistakes and successes, is not helpful in any capacity

People here are celebrating Eid al-Adha while I'm struggling in the hospital to save my wife from death, fighting to get her treatment, fighting for her survival.😭

We haven't received any donations for three days. Why are you ignoring me? If anything happens to my wife, I will never forgive anyone who ignored me, didn't help, and didn't share this post.

You have no idea the extent of the pain and the dire circumstances we are enduring. Here, there is daily Israeli bombing, destruction, and the killing of innocent people. Women and children die every day because of Israeli bombing. What is the sin of the children and women who are being killed? This is genocide in every sense of the word.

The pain of loss is unbearable. I lost my mother and older brother in this war. I feel as though I am dying every day. I cannot bear the thought of losing my wife or any other member of my family. Please help me and donate to save my wife. Don't leave me alone.

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

[caspercryptid]

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

El Hombre imaginario

El hombre imaginario vive en una mansión imaginaria rodeada de árboles imaginarios a la orilla de un río imaginario

De los muros que son imaginarios penden antiguos cuadros imaginarios irreparables grietas imaginarias que representan hechos imaginarios ocurridos en mundos imaginarios en lugares y tiempos imaginarios

Todas las tardes tardes imaginarias sube las escaleras imaginarias y se asoma al balcón imaginario a mirar el paisaje imaginario que consiste en un valle imaginario circundado de cerros imaginarios

Sombras imaginarias vienen por el camino imaginario entonando canciones imaginarias a la muerte del sol imaginario

Y en las noches de luna imaginaria sueña con la mujer imaginaria que le brindó su amor imaginario vuelve a sentir ese mismo dolor ese mismo placer imaginario y vuelve a palpitar el corazón del hombre imaginario

-Nicanor Parra
