“Economy and ideology. The claim (presented as an essential postulate of historical materialism) that every fluctuation of politics and ideology can be presented and expounded as an immediate expression of the structure, must be contested in theory as primitive infantilism, and combated in practice with the authentic testimony of Marx, the author of concrete political and historical works.” PoliticalPracticeEconomyExpressionTheoryEssentialsClaimsStructureHistoricalIdeologyMaterialismConcretePrimitiveTestimonyFluctuation Author:Antonio Gramsci
“Procedure is the bone structure of a democratic society. Our scheme of law affords great latitude for dissent and opposition.

“To one completely committed to this realm of becoming, as are the empiricists, the claim to apprehend verities is a sign of psychopathology.

“Simply according artistic works the same protection as nonartistic works may not be sufficient to protect creativity. After all, the very essence of artistic expression is invention and artists necessarily draw on their own experience.

In the late '60s there was an assumption that the wealth generated by industry would be taxed and then put into social programs and it would provide a baseline of stability that would allow people to have the time for self-expression; and that social contract has eroded over the last four decades and now it's every person for themselves.” PeopleTryingLooksPersonsSelfWould BeLastsSocialWealthFourExpressionIndustryEvolutionLateProgramClaimsDecadesAssumptionContractsStabilitySelf ExpressionUtopianSocial ContractSocial Programs Author:Astra Taylor
