I have a love-hate relationship with the autonomist left. I utterly adore situatoinsts maxims and to an extent I am influenced by autonomist political theory. Conversely, as a Trotskyist, I am theoretical opposition to autonomism and on a practical level I despise autonomist organizations like the red and anarchist network. I brought all of this up to clarify that I am not an autonomist so that there is no confusion when I use this quote: L’ennui est contre-révolutionnaire — boredom is counter-revolutionary.
I am disappointed in the situationist emphasis on the role of boredom as the main exploitative feature of capitalism but I agree that boredom through alienation is a serious issue of capitalism… What is this? I’m rambling on! To the point: I am bored with my blog as it is. I’m trying to play the game of the big boys of the blogosphere — if Victor, Snowball, or any other person comments on something I feel compelled to do so as well just because it seems the pop thing to do. Well now I’m playing my own game. I’m going to shift the emphasis to my interests: aesthetics, ethics, histography, and music. I’ll probably also write updated versions of some of my older articles like ‘Mass Movement’ or Revolution? and Critical Marxism.
