i lived in a sufi monastery for 10 years in upstate ny. Anything that comes to north america is gonna b instantly corrupted by dominant Xtianity and new age- capitalism. Omega institute started in part by Sufi Pir Vilayet…. Sufism… is Neo Platonic, but the ‘hen’ (greek word) the ‘One’ is a problem… on the whole, the WHOLE ( repressing or without the hole) leads only back to religion and philosophy. or bad Fantasy. Sufism, the whirling dervish ( Turkish version)… how close or far to Baudrillard’s delirium ? hard to tell. Sufism emphasizes the heart. Ibn Arabi would be the go to philosopher in Sufism. Ibn Arabi influenced Dante and courtly love tradition. Sufism also influenced Kabbalah. Mysticism holds something for sure. Bataille gets it in a dark way. Desire is still key even in looking for alt beliefs, and the eastern spin on desire is IMO just a form of knowledge repression. Sufism has somewhat different spin on Desire ( Ishk) …but depends on someone’s interpretation….Sufism amended w Freudian-lacanian psychoanalysis has potential for a less nihilistic futurity. But in the neo liberal world, no one not wealthy can afford to explore this as option. And white new ageism is a bad delirium IMO generally…. I’d say u gotta get Spinoza in there. a must. Schreber, btw, , if anyone would actually read HIS text, comes close to an alt cosmology …….BTW, the Chechen Republic is largely Sufi.. the warriors all are. Not what u call pacifist. Anyway, any searching for Idealism will do just as it always has done. Theoria and aesthetics/ethics…applied to whatever else someone opens to. Why i appreciate u Pils. Good for us to turn a half open hopeful eye to the buzz around labor 2023. A tiny splash but something concrete, maybe.

2023-01-15 18:36:10 +0000 UTCI swear tho, you asked what would resistance look like, and tbh, what the Invisible Committee are saying should speak to you as a Deleuzian and as someone who values phenomenology. They really return to the whole *point* of wanting to end capitalism, which is to radically rediscover what it means to dwell here. Also since everyone's waiting on an analysis of theoretical terrorism, the first (short) book linked below was apparently evidence in a case of real ass terrorism in France in 2008: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/comite-invisible-the-coming-insurrection https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/the-invisible-committe-now
