I was telling my bf about thermidor/the fall of robespierre and he said, thoughtfully, "his jaw... the safdie brothers should make a movie about this"

![Highlighted section: “Rather, "having history" means being interwoven in the dialectic, in the subject-object relationship. In other words, history consists in the fact that the life of the human being is not simply "his own," but constituted through the extra-human and alienated. To put it more simply: history is not a distinguishing quality of the human being, but rather the epitome of all suffering. True, the human being is conscious of history, as you go on to say, and it would be foolish to deny the distinction therein. But the human being cannot be spun from this knowledge, nor from "having history" as such. Knowing history and having history are not the same, and to date knowledge has changed little enough of what's decisive for history, suffering. On the other hand, however, "having history" extends far beyond consciousness; all of nature, as suffering, has infinite share in it. The proposition that "[i]n knowing history man is above history, although, on the other hand, he is in history," 48 is, in this form, illusory. The assertion that "man is free... from history in so far as he knows history" 49 cannot be maintained, at least not without mediation.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ciyhaqbbis5j5ieuheilzsh/bafkreig52w5rmatdk26kly5wd3p4lcynhj2odlcpqwx7e5vmuxpwnxjqum@jpeg)

They come out of the earth, out of plants, out of our things and out of our bodies, not new but only previously hidden or perhaps inchoate. I drink them gladly so that they may recede again.

already prefigured here is late Marcuse’s concept of “New Science” (a communist Scienza Nuova: universal participation in the fusion of natural science & art, conscious membership in the living history of matter) is that it’s an incredible anticipation of degrowth, &, imo, requires nothing less!

in retrospect itwas a mistake to think that studying premodern cultural formations could help me escape mental illness and my unjustifiable existence. and to try to cover myself by appealing to “historical materialism” (meaningless). still, never converted to islam. that’s gotta count for something
