CoP Session - notes - Marxism/Decepticonism

Marx - ideas of social equality - unobtainable - the depressing thought that it will never happen


IDW Transformers comics - Megatron's assessment of 'Functionist' society with strong ties to pre Revolution Russia - form dictates function - you can't ascend any higher from wherever you were born - everyone has a specific place in the system - your whole life is determined before you know you have the ability to make a choice

Link 80s miner strikes to themes of miners in the characters of Megatron and Terminus
The introduction of education as a commodity - having to pay to become useful


This symbols narrative origin is a visual representation of the phrase "you are being deceived"Image result for decepticon logo

Advertising enforces schisms - everyone you see, you think , am I better than them? Are they better than me? - Why should there be an order?

The Institute - brainwashing centre - links to the media today brainwashing people who don't think the right way

Joseph Jacotot reversed the rules

Most of our achievements are fuelled by the feeling of incompetence society and the media enforce
