From the streams

From the COMMUNISM WINNING | INFRAWOKE stream, debating base/superstructure:

"There's this idea you should look up — a Persianate idea the Ottomans were known for being associated with, but everyone else was too. It's called the Circle of Justice. You can think about the Circle of Justice in materialist terms if you understand the relation of state to civil society and how they dialectically interact."
