I think I understand the simple model of base and superstructure (but that was Gramsci’s model)
The simple use of quantitative to qualitative change, and vice versa
The simple fact that contradictions can exist in a society, manifesting in the form of problems, which are symptoms of its economic systems…
I don’t think its about thesis + anti-thesis -> synthesis.
I think its about one economic class, like capitalist to feudal lord, dominating over one class, and absorbing its birthmark attributes, before surpassing its birthmarks overall…
Or as if a capitalist upon its created proletariat, not only ruling over them, but co-opting or destroying any of its measures
To me, its about who the ruling most HEGEMONIC class is, and how it operates…
Other than that, I don’t know how else to apply it, let alone know if its somewhat broadly accurate…
Correct me if I’m wrong, if not elaborate on what ye mean?
Mostly with niche topics like late stage media, whether or not gen alpha is cooked (answer is yes), overaestheticization. As for political topics the only major thing I did is explain why the proles need a monopoly on violence to defend against counter-revolution.
