I enjoyed Perfection, though I had to skip the précis of Wallpaper magazine 2002-2009 in the first 6 pages. It captured the superficiality, nostalgia, and ergodic consumerism of the young urbanite nicely. They should have had a kid or two, but of course ruled it out for insane reasons.
I think it made a point of following Perec’s form quite closely on purpose - almost like an Oulipo constraint. I’m re-reading Les Choses now and it’s interesting how little has changed - just the product names.

Swastika Night is hysterical, in the traditional sense. I'll probably finish it tho.

As much of a scoundrel as he is, it was my pick. He just bought it for me. I loved Heart of Darkness so thought to give this one a go

I heartily recommend everyone here read some Bordiga

readings are not recommended in science. and you still want to run some pseudo-scientific guff about progressive capitalism. how can you accomplish that when you don't know the rudiments of science and think re-endoginization of capital is a scientifically valid term?

one of the few interviews ever worth reading. incisive and completely devoid of personalistic rubbish, thank Allah.

You've already been subsumed. Talk to the invisible hand, sister!

the invisible hand is an erroneous proposition mathematically.

We discussed this the other week. don't start leaking big mac puss out of your rectum.

∀ n ∈ CapitalistSystems, ∃ f ∈ {ForcesOfProduction, RelationsOfProduction} such that:

lim₍Innovation → ∞₎ [Socialisation(Labourₙ) + StateControl(Forcesₙ)] = CollectiveCapitalₙ

⇒ InvisibleHand = ∅, as Capitalₙ → ConsciousPlanning

∴ ∃ (n + 1) = Communism, emerging immanently from n — not refuted by n₁ < (n + 1)

⟹ LaissezFaire( n ) ⇔ ⊥, since:

Stateₙ ≠ ExternalImposition
but = Result[FeudalPower → ∅, LandedProperty → CommodityForm]

⇒ Attempt(N + 2) = Contradiction, as:

CapitalistDevelopment ⇒ StateMediation
⇒ ¬Possibility[ReturnTo(N −)] ⟹ N + 2 ∉ ℝₑ
