The wretched of the earth : a cautionary note on reactionary humanism


(I did the audiobook, I'm trying to remember my impressions.)
Reactionary Humanism, and Reactionary Essentialism

Dismissive self-abnegation and wanting to return to the mechanism of simple returns, masquerading as a humanistic drive is reactionary, sorry.

Humanism itself has served colonalist ends of a unjust hierarchy of state domination, as Franz Fanon states. Then we now the ideology is like any other, something we can lose faith into.

Recognition and resource distribution, under and over our with a just rule of law that determines our process. Will be in the evolution, not being bullies, and landlordism that this book describes. Such is the john lockean justification of seeing everything as a fronteir and private companys overlooking there negative externalities.

Well, scientific management of our attention, through body and intellect will be a slippery slope of doom. Humans along with its artifices. Not a doom I like.

Thanks for the Caution.
