"All that's left is the Transcendental Doctrine of Method.

I have better sense, now, of just how truncated my undergrad courses' explorations of Kant were, and I can understand why."

“The mere existence of formal freedom, which if employed effectively would be suppressed, cannot be considered as evidence of real freedom.”
Albert Szymanski, Human Rights in the Soviet Union: Including Comparisons with the U.S.A.

“The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.”
Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks

Jean-Paul Sartre
“By extending the idea of natural law to the economic sphere - an inevitable but fundamental error - they (18th century philosophes) both secularized the economy and converted it into a domain external to man: a system of inflexible laws whose constraints permitted no modification.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Between Existentialism and Marxism

“The essence of my happiness is fighting for the happiness of others. It’s strange, why is it that in grammar, the word "happiness” can only be singular? That is counter to its meaning, after all. … If it turns necessary to die for the common happiness, then I’m braced to.”
Roza Georgiyevna Shanina

Michael Parenti
“The very concept of "revolutionary violence" is somewhat falsely cast, since most of the violence comes from those who attempt to prevent reform, not from those struggling for reform. By focusing on the violent rebellions of the downtrodden, we overlook the much greater repressive force and violence utilized by the ruling oligarchs to maintain the status quo, including armed attacks against peaceful demonstrations, mass arrests, torture, destruction of opposition organizations, suppression of dissident publications, death squad assassinations, the extermination of whole villages, and the like.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
