As I'm reading the second chapter of Hegel's Science of Logic, I realize that, for Hegel, the movement from pure immediacy (e.g. pure being) to self-mediation— which mediates itself in its otherness—is a crucial step that initiates and enables the whole unfolding of the Logic.

Probably the most retarded thing I’ve read all year. And I’m on Twitter every day.
🚨 Da’Shaun L. Harrison at Socialism 2026 argues that the political deployment of GLP-1 drugs is “fascistic” because they exist in “a world fixated on genociding fat people.” “The political deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic, not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people.” And to explain why that is supposedly fascistic, Harrison turns to Frantz Fanon and “Black flesh under colonial surveillance.” If GLP-1s are already “body fascism,” the dual and triple agonists are going to require an entirely new theoretical vocabulary.

The key claim here is transition to communism. The dictatorship of the proletariat isn't the lower phase of communism, but a transition to the lower phase of communism. It's in this phase that the DOTP already fades away because classes no longer exist.
Replying to @Gattungswesen25
The lower phase of communism is itself transitory, that’s how you get to the higher stage.

Marx: here's my concept of 'value', meant to grasp how labor becomes socially valid only through the market in the context of commodity production. Random moron: so Marx thinks value is a labor quantity totally independent of the market, except also dependent on it?? CUriOUs
Маркс: стоимость создаётся трудом на фабрике. Также Маркс: если товар не продаётся — этот труд не был общественно необходимым, стоимости нет. Итог: стоимость определяется рынком, но мы будем делать вид, что она определяется только трудом.

Red Pen is an average ML-Dengist YouTube channel whose understanding of theory is far more impoverished than the poverty of philosophy which Marx attributes to Proudhon.

"Mao actually got it from reading Lenin's Philosophical Notebook on Hegel. " Apparently, Mao misread Lenin's Philosophical Notebook! But also Lenin didn't always knew how to read Hegel either!

Also this whole talk of "primary contradiction" and "secondary contradiction" is made up by Mao and has no basis in Marx and Hegel's sense of contradiction in dialectics.
