A book would be the most obvious answer.

>>7608502
i have no idea because the english wikipedia page is obtuse and there is no french one
how about you tell us, OP?

>>7608512
I have no idea, that's why I'm asking

continental philosophy
both marxism and capitalism are under the forces of libido

it's criticism of marxism

>>7608536
Care to elaborate?

>>7608539
you have the book

>>7608543
But I need help with understanding it.

Just throw me some guidelines and I should be good. Would really appreciate it

>>7608544
okay here it is, he wrote it after how france dealt with their labor demonstration

libidinal is basically theoretical "feel good" it's not just sexual drive, it's ,in this case, political philosophy unconnected to reality and somehow it has to do with the freudian drive
so in the most simplistic terms
"communism and capitalism are theories of unrealistic assumptions hence they are in inherently broken because they don't "deal" with this fact"

the difficulty is in the structure of the book not really the message, it is a parody of academic theory

Thank you

I suggest you kill yourself

You ought to be thrashed, for you are a scoundrel.

>>7608544
why are you reading lyotard but have no idea what's going on?
are you doing a master's at the new school or something?
i can't really think of a situation where what you are implying makes any sense

>>7608640
I don't know, I just want to understand it. I feel like it. No, it's not connected to academic studies. I'm having a hrd time grasping the core concepts, which is why I made this thread.

>>7608647
you should probably read deleuze first

>>7608652
Duly noted

>>7608502
I really like that cover.

>>7608647
It's just a weird thing to jump to
I read french and have a degree in philosophy and yet had never heard of this book
Was wondering how you arrived at it without having read things that would help you understand (baudrillard, deleuze)

>>7608942
I believe I first head of it while reading of the events that took place in Paris in '68
