“Phil.Cologne” – political information report about Sloterdijk

Worshiped comrade XY,

Regarding the question of whether the comrade Sloterdijk is a safe communist, as the comrade Žižek claims, for example (“in the heart a communist”), do I come after visiting the Cologne event »Garden or Machine Room of Human? – The future of education in the digital age «, which took place as part of the» Phil.Cologne «, for the following findings:

1. There is currently no doubt about the impeccable Marxist attitude of the Gen. Sloterdijk. The propaganda of the class enemy to present it as one of theirs contradicts me. Of course, the Gen. Sloterdijk has repeatedly thrown some fog bombs by criticizing socialism (but who of us didn’t do that from time to time?) And praised the FDP. His rejection of the French Revolution and the work of the Gen. Georg Lukács can also confidently justify respect to attain the number of class enemy.

2nd at the event in question last Friday in the “Balloni” halls in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, I already counted four Marx quotes in the first ten minutes, more were added. Heidegger was rarely cited, Augustine was even less common. Carl Schmitt and Ernst Jünger, on the other hand, are not at all.

3. On Cai Werntgen’s question on the podium as to whether the rescue of democracy was no longer possible, Gen. Sloterdijk replied that the residents of the western states have long been “Putinized”. The western person becomes “a autocratic character, not only in the Kremlin”, and does not want to be said anything (see the protests against the anti-corona measures). Rather, all of these little everyday autocrats only communicated “from Kremlin to Kremlin or from SUV to SUV”. On the other hand, according to Sloterdijk, humanity has always been permeable – a life outside the fortress must be learned again. The “The Figure of the Teacher” (with whom he naturally gen. Lenin said) plays an important role: in times when he no longer knew how hard he should “grab”, formation in favor of mere gardeners disappear.

4. A plea for collectivism followed: We humans are in truth “not citizens or individuals”, but need the other and are therefore “actually magnets” who constantly send attractors. We wanted to become one with our second platonic bold half and would constantly notice that individuality is almost impossible. According to Sloterdijk, the question is, as we can like ourselves without becoming complacent or narcissistic.

5. Communism, so much legroom we have to grant such a chameleon-like comrade of world to world, means “Ko-Immunism” in Sloterdijk. Its ideological strength is particularly evident in terms of socialist work product. He repeatedly campaigned for a strong proletariat (“Against the Demeusing of the Service Barrel”) and supports the new economic system of the Gen. Ulbricht (“If the concept of performance is lost, this is also a sign of decadence”).

6. For Sloterdijk, the thinker only has the escape into the – also temporal – large -scale spatiality. In view of the centuries, China’s rise to a digital world power is only the revenge for the opium wars of European imperialism in the 19th century. At that time, every tenth Chinese was made an opium-dependent one, today the Chinese would make us mobilizing. In terms of anti -imperialism and a relaxed relationship with China, Sloterdijk is a safe man.

7. Unfortunately, the concept of digital partners, as usual today, were too one -sided: “The soul as a habitable size” (Sloterdijk) is different on social media than in a ball player on the computer. Not everything that has to do with a screen can be brought down to the keyword “digital”. Nevertheless, the gene is of course right with the fact that he sees no living in the digital option for the decent, unsettled socialist person. The “thinking in the large room” is different from thinking in the small cyber rooms.

8. Conclusion: I advise against making it too difficult for the Gen. Sloterdijk on our side. He mostly discussed without platitudes and avoided common places. His state of Marx is above the level of an average member of the party DIE LINKE. I propose to finally delete the Gen. Sloterdijk from the list of suspects and to give it a reasonable price for his socialist merits, such as the golden GDR banana for extraordinary top performers.

With socialist regards and red front,

M. G.
