i think this journal is probably the best commentary and exposition of nietzsche ive ever read, and this makes me think bataille might b his most worthy successor--perhaps moreso than foucault or deleuze

but foucault and deleuze at least moved beyond some of nietzsche's aporia vis-a-vis sociality, while it seems like bataille & co recognize this aporia and the desperate need to resolve it, but r ultimately unable to do so--instead appealing to anarchists to plz help them. their steadfast refusal of marx might have even deepened this social helplessness

this self-defeating struggle to reconcile self and other (while somehow maintaining the poisonous duality) finds its most horrifying manifestation in the total acceptance and embrace of samsara, of eternal recurrence, of the successive murder of slaves-becoming-gods; to hell w the poor and oppressed of the world, who may never taste godhood, so long as the members of acephale get a taste of it

im always glad to see some recognition of the need for an anti-civilizational mysticism to buttress anarchist politics, but without the anarchist politics it becomes dangerously psychopathic, psychotic, and suicidal ( )
