James Crane@jamescrane.bsky.social · 5mo agoJust stumbled on Horkheimer’s notes for the Lenin essay ( 🔗 ⬇️), & there Horkheimer traces his own concept of “the Marxist method” back to: (1) Marx-Engels on the camera obscura in The German Ideology intro (2) Lenin’s 4-pt. def of dialectical logic in the ‘21 “Once Again, On the Trade Unions”!
In his last political act, Habermas tied the survival of the public sphere & the democratic ethos of the Federal Republic of Germany to genocide denial & the state repression of its critics. He died in principled solidarity with the barbarism of 21st century liberalism
