I thought it was great when Diogenes only owned a little bowl for drinking and eating and when he saw a beggar boy drink directly from a stream, he shouted "BESTED! BY A CHILD!" And broke the bowl.

That or the first half of Hancock.

You both need to read more Marx.
There's nothing inherently anti-American within Marx. You would get a character more concerned with class and would promote unity and empathy.

Diogenes wasn't a dick. Just a man centered on practicality and self sustenance who had a knack for picking out the flaws in arguments. Think Karnak if he was a hobo.

replace marx with lenin, stalinor trotsky and you'd have yourself a great ride

Lacan and Star Butterfly. Woah okay let's examine this. Lacan's point of introspection, philosophically speaking is investigating how the 'I' in self-identity comes to be and how all our emotions, desires, and sexual instincts, even on an existential level are governed by language, both literal language inherited and desire as being it's own paralanguage. He states how love and truth are ultimately futile and we must choose how to self-actualize by choice, even by choosing to accept our own symbolic rites and identities.

A series with Star written by Lacan, I think would be a happy yet bittersweet one. For one Star would be puella aeterna, an eternal womanchild. Her desire to fight and party would show her in a pre-oedipal state of meaning not having actualized the other (Marco, Tom, her mothers) desires or been properly socialized. She'd be fucking savage. On the other hand Marco would be an asshole, a huge niceguy cunt who wants to get into her pants and she still tolerates and is nice to. Tom would be a beta who gave up on his desires, and we'd see exploration of Star's moral, psychological/sexual development would be paramount.

She'd be hit on by everyone, but heart broken all the time when they leave her (Especially Marco) and disappoint her. She'd realize the futility of false love and how she hides from her pain and loneliness in others, in weapons and fighting, in parties but is never made whole or happy, not able to seduce her pain. There'd be quite a lot about her 'accepting the phallus' (The symbol for power/creative control), in this case her wand, her mother's inheritance as well as the phallus that is "Being queen", and whether she thinks she's morally able to accept being queen and the responsibility it comes with. She'd find love, and find that love means 'Giving' oneself and embracing responsibility, not hiding yourself in others. Her lover would probably by a Lesbian because Lacan believed only dykes could shelter a love not about possession.

Augustine is my favorite philosopher as person but,
>Judge Dredd
>G.I Joe
It's not going to work out for him.

So it would be New Deal in 1890, end of two-party rule in favor of a united workers' front and Superman working for a thousand men's worth as that accords with his ability.
And never, ever will this lead to a corrupt leadership class. Because Marx writes it.

Patrician taste

>Han Fei's Steven Universe
WE serve the ruler of Man,
who rules because he can...

Steven is now under constant threat from being usurped as the up-and-coming ruler over the Crystal Gems, the Temple is now the Altar if Land and Grain where the Son of Rose alone can perform the necesary offerings to his... sole ancestor to speak of.
Anyway, he must hone his intriguing skills and implement a system of absolute monarchy to prevent his ministers from accumulating power while assuring functional government of All-under-Heaven.
He plays the Gems against each other just enough so they can't team up on him and makes Bismuth his high judge while promoting the production of Pearls. Because harsh law is how you make people toe the line and high reward is how you make them do the right thing.

And he is always fused to Stevonnie because Connie can't backstab him if she is him.

Seriously, read more Marx before you talk about Marx.

Capitalism, according to Marx, leads to a united work force that empathizes with each as the self is broken-down and an individual becomes identified by their labor over all else.

It doesn't lead to a corrupt leadership class as there is no ruling class. Communism only arrises once a society fully embraces a unified nature and there's no presumption of superiority because of your work. The doctor is just as important to the community as the guy who gets rid of the garbage. There is a recognition that each individual is important for society but that does not mean they are superior in any way to another. Each works and supplies a necessary function in order for the community to exist.

Thus, because there is a lack of segregation. And it should be noted that this lack is not mandated but an attribute of the nature of man and culture that he has become conditioned into via the progression from Capitalism, into Socialism, and finally into Communism.

>Ayn Rand
>Sealab 2021

Captain Murphy built Sealab using his intellect and he's not about to let a bunch mailbox heads blow the damn thing up. Quinn is the only one to pass the job interview to join Murphy as they reap the sea for profit.

There's more to it than that, it's not only a sense of superiority but literal barriers to unity and ownership of one's own labor worth.

All that exists is a lack of segregation and suppression. A rich and poor will always still exist of course, but it's simply because of the differences in effort and capability, not circumstances or an entire culture of "Rich" or "Elite" that you belong to like with the old nobles, aristocrats, ect. And even then that sense of wealth can only go so far as the community and democratic consensus allows since a truly free government would question any undeserved wealth.

Yeah, yeah. That's why I said it won't end in a socialist avant garde cabal.
Even though that is all but a necessary outcome of trying to implement a system that tries to make people work for anything but short-sighted personal gain.
You end up with huge power concentrations when you need to coordinate people instead of having them do what they find most rewarding in a largely self-regulating system.

That already exists it's called Bioshock.

Was going to post this

Quite right. Thumbs up for knowing your Marx.

It doesn't have to try and make people do anything. Capitalism, according to Marx, already creates an environment in which individuals realize their unity through their labor and relate to one another and are then capable of creating an effort for long term goals. See Labor Unions.

There is no power concentration, the only necessity is an understanding of the labors power through a united effort.

You're forgetting that this is a gradual change that undergoes several steps of cultural and economical upheaval that eventually surmounts in these realizations.

>these people browse this site

René Descartes any cartoon really.

The show becomes completely and utterally nonsensical from a visual perspective, there is no consistent art style, the characters don't even have a uniform shape, form, expressions, colours or voice actors varying widely even within the same scene let alone within the transition of movement.

The only thing that remains consistent throughout each episode is narrative where every component of the story from each character and object introduced plays an obvious and crucial role in the storyline, the humor which centers on the over dependence on physical sensory input and output to make judgements, the individual personalities, behavioral patterns mannerisms and tone of voice of each character.

Superman never leaves his Fortress of Solitude, the whole book is about Lex Luthor's rise to global dictatorship in his bid to destroy the Ubermensch.

The last panel is Luthor's face, now supreme dictator of Earth with an attack plan on the Fortress already in action and the armies rolling, realizing that Superman left Earth in the first third of the story already.

In other words a few "fucking magic" steps.
There is no necessity of "communism" resulting from his claims.
It's just a fiction and it didn't happen like that at all. Instead nationalism and dictatorshops took over, egoism continues to divide the individuals against each other and now it looks like most work will be obsolete in the near future, completely voiding his ideas as the proletariat ceases to exist as such.

Marx wrote his ideas at the time when Russia was pre-industrialized and the economy/infrastructure was mostly just feudal surfs and farmland. In the sense of a feudal system, it makes sense to de-establish the ruling class because they're worthless and don't fucking do anything, they just make their wealth off "Owning" and property rights. Marx started to see the beginning of Capitalism undoing the old feudal power structures so he theorized about a system that would supersede it and completely undo the rigid hierarchies that still exist in society today once manufacturing and industry makes rulers and L33t classes redundant and unneeded, or in the worst case parasitic and tyrannic like we saw with the rise of fascism.

In a world slowly approaching a post-scarcity that would completely make all physical work meaningless it does make sense, but we're still a farcry from true equality.

Wouldn't a philosopher despise using pictures instead of text ?

Hardly.

Trace the history of Capitalism from 1900 to today and you can already see traces of Marx's theory coming to fruition. 200 years ago the idea of a labor union was entirely fantasy yet today they play a huge role within the market. We already have several aspects of society that are no longer under the rule of the market but are entirely controlled by a State ruled by the people, something Marx predicted would happen. Again it is a slow and gradual change but it's not hard to find Marx's theory in practice today.

Case in point unified demands of a higher minimum wage.

They are equally shadows on the wall, so I don't see a reason for that.

Why would they?

>That are no longer under the rule of the market but are entirely controlled by a State ruled by the people

This is wishful thinking in a fantasy world.
What you really mean is market under the control of a state ruled by the market.
People are entirely and increasingly left out of the equation.

>Instead nationalism and dictatorshops took over
In countries that never had the economic basis for communism to emerge to begin with, yes.

>completely voiding his ideas as the proletariat ceases to exist as such.
Hey, Asimov wrote a long series of stories about how we need to lobtomize the perfect workers in order to stop them from realizing communism on earth.

>People
You mean workers. The Koch brothers certainly are people, and companies are persons as well.

The market doesn't dictate when I get my mail user.

You realize that people also make up both the market and the State right? Which goes back to Marx's point that the realization of the power people have in unity would destabilize and usurp the dominance of the few.

>The market doesn't dictate when I get my mail user.

Right. That's why you can pay to have your mail delivered faster.

And I still get it even if I don't pay.

A common campaign method for the CPUSA pre- and mid-war was to out-patriot everyone else, so it's not too far-fetched. One of the main slogans was "Communism is the Americanism of the 20th century."
Not to mention that they LOVED Lincoln who probably read Marx's articles with regularity. If it was risky to use a picture of Marx or Lenin, you use a picture of Lincoln for similar effect.

Except they haven't. The few only became even less, different people.

Drawing and writing do not stem from the same abilities and do not adress exactly to the same audience in society.
You cannot set up your arguments the same way in drawing as in writing.

"Despise" may be a strong word, though. Contemporary philosophers seem to be interested in pictures, and not only the metaphores.
And Renaissance artists used to write and draw, but not in the same way.

I wrote my honors essay on Debord's influence on Animal Man, and I couldn't even fit everything I had to say, so I'm not exactly more how much more it'd be different beyond a pinch more cynicism and alcoholism. There'd probably be a lot more silver age style "flashback sequences," and they'd be for real photocopies of the source material with rewritten text bubbles, rather than a redraw.

So that's where the political lesbians get it from.

Interesting.

Not really, the idea that men only attain a figment of the ability to love through contact with women goes all the way back to the dawn of our modern sexual system.

Which dates back to somewhere in the 17th century.

>Joseph DeMaistre
>Transformers

The Autobots are no the vanguards of Traditional Cybertronian Religion and Tradition will the Decepticons are emblematic of the most dangerous and excessive impulses of the French Revolution.

IDW Transformers pretty much starts out that way.

Wasn't IDW Transformers based on the fall of Rome?

Not as far as I know.

Basically it starts off with the Decepticons being oppressed workers and shit. Megatron starts off as just an average guy (working in an energon mine IIRC) who wants a better fate for his people, but he gets more and more bloodthirsty as time goes on.

The Autobots pretty much start off as guardians of the old ways, but then they discover that the government they're supporting is corrupt as all fuck so they take over while also trying to stop Megatron's revolution.

Eventually a third faction pops up who's more like the "vanguards of Traditional Cybertronian Religion and Tradition" but they're pacifists and isolationists, and don't want anything to do with Autobots vs Decepticons.

I don't have a favorite but first one I thought of was Thales and Metalocalypse.

They already got a few water songs so maybe not much would change.

I figured what happens.
Kent (maybe Nabu too) realise, that there is no chaos and "chaos" is just as bound to causality as the lords of order, meaning everything will always be following order.

Then, they join the demons/chaos, because, since there's gonna be order anyway, you might as well go with the side that parties harder.

Antichrist.

Eh, user. EH.

First we show why morals are metaphysical crap with no truth and try to move besides them, then we try to make our own moral code, partly by turning the christian one upside down? Even though we showed morals are null?

I choose to believe by the time he wrote antichrist, the neurosyphilis had already got him.

Are you me?

I can see a good amount of Absurdism in there, for sure

Objective truth. There's no objective truth.
That doesn't mean there's absolutely no truth to subjectivity. Morals being subjective and relevant doesn't make them "Crap", it's just that we have to actualize and figure them out ourselves instead of taking them from Christianity, or Nature (Darwinism, "Survival of the fittest") or whatever timeless spiel you believe in. Morality has to evolve and share a conscience with those carefully considering it.

"No Moral fags" Would be like Objectivism and Ayn Rand who was a huge nietzscheboo without any real understanding of what he was saying.

You can't derive an ought from an is. We have only confirmed the existence of ises so far.

Throwing out random philosophical phrases isn't a response user.

Read less Harris and more Western Canon.

I just thought it'd get the message across quicker.
I don't like Harris.
But something is true or it isn't. I believe there is objective truth. It's just that it doesn't involve morals.

>Mencius Moldbug

It would probably be pretty awkward and wouldn't work at all.

Any show/comic written by Diogenes of Sinope would be worth a watch.

He was a bit of a dick, in the sense he did whatever he wanted and gave little fucks over what people thought of him. One of the tenants of cynicism is that social etiquette is pointless after all.
