Andrew Culp Quote
Critics such as Slavoj Žižek accuse him of being a poster child for the cultural excesses of postmodern capitalism (Ongoing ‘Soft Revolution’). A recent round of denunciations underwritten by a mix of wonderment and red-baiting exclaim, The founder of BuzzFeed wrote his senior thesis on the Marxismof Deleuze and Guattari!, adding to a long list of guilty associations—the Israeli Defense Force reads A Thousand Plateaus!, Deleuze spouts the fashionable nonsense of pseudoscience! Deleuze’s defenders are correct to dismiss such criticisms as either incomplete or outright spurious. Yet thereis a kernel of truth that goes back to an old joke—a communist is someone who reads Das Kapital; a capitalist is someone who reads Das Kapital and understands it.
