re: pol take i guess
@typhlosion OH THANK FUCKING GOD I'm not the only one. Marx's earlier work had a joyful humanistic vibe, but as he aged he got more and more obsessed with work and productivity. There are MUCH better leftist philosophers to look at, if you want something humane and genuinely concerns about quality of life. (I recommend Erich Fromm, if you can get past some period-normal homophobia and Theodore Roszak, if you can get over some touchingly naive hippie-era sentiments about science and technology... Also, you might like Paul Lafargue's The Right To Be Lazy.)

@typhlosion Also, while i have a possibly sympathetic ear...
