According to these theorists, a “critical” theory may be distinguished from a “traditional” theory according to a specific practical purpose: a theory is critical to the extent that it seeks human “emancipation from slavery”, acts as a “liberating … influence”, and works “to create a world which satisfies the needs and powers” of human beings (Horkheimer 1972, 246). Because such theories aim to explain and transform all the circumstances that enslave human beings, many “critical theories” in the broader sense have been developed. They have emerged in connection with the many social movements that identify varied dimensions of the domination of human beings in modern societies. In both the broad and the narrow senses, however, a critical theory provides the descriptive and normative bases for social inquiry aimed at decreasing domination and increasing freedom in all their forms....
It follows from Horkheimer's definition that a critical theory is adequate only if it meets three criteria: it must be explanatory, practical, and normative, all at the same time.

Hallo, ich bin ein 27-jähriger Mann, 185 cm groß, der einen besonderen Fußfetisch hat.
Mein Traum ist es, die Füße einer Frau durch die Socken zu riechen, wenn sie extrem verschwitzt und stinkig sind, und dann ihre Füße zu lecken. Außerdem würde ich gerne auch ihren Arsch riechen und lecken und sie bei Sympathie mit meiner Zunge und meinen Händen bis zum Orgasmus verwöhnen. Wenn du auch etwas dominant dabei sein kannst oder mir befehle geben würde ich mich extrem freuen.
Wenn du Besonderes bist, die Frau die mir diese Erfahrung bieten kann, würde ich dich wirklich in mein Herz halten.
Natürlich bin ich offen, TG anzubieten.
Bitte sei offen für ein Bildernaustausch hier oder über eine Messaging-App vor dem Treffen, inklusives Fakecheck.

Hi:)
As part of my EE I'm conducting a survey on the areas of Riedberg and Praunheim to evaluate their sustainability. An EE is a research paper which I need to do for my IB diploma. If you are from these areas I would appreciate it if you could briefly answer it.
Thanks:)

Hi guys,
Does anybody have the pdf version of "The Adorno Reader"?
I have a question regarding Pollock’s text “State Capitalism: It’s Possibilities and Limitations” (1941). Pollock discusses the then Soviet economy as “state capitalism” and doesn’t consider it socialism, even though he defines state capitalism as having done away with the rule/law of the market in all essential ways. He also identifies state capitalism with full employment, rising standards of living etc. basically all things we know about Soviet Union as really existing socialism. My question is, if all that Pollock identifies as aspects of state capitalism are really happening, especially the doing away with the rule of the market and of private owners of means of production (private capitalists), how is it still considered capitalism? What is capitalist in this system if those essential aspects of a capitalist economy have been done away with or been reduced to be essentially ineffective? He does not engage at all (at least in this essay) with either why he still considers such a system capitalist and not socialist, and what, in his view then, would socialism be. Any thoughts, explanations, clarifications, corrections works be appreciated.
Specifically his writings on the Jena group and Holderlin, thanks!
I had posted a few months back asking why everyone felt that FFS was being mentioned in the popular mainstream media ( CNN, Fox, etc) and got some good insight.
Now as you all know CRT (critical race theory) has stolen the thunder from FFS in the mainstream news.
If any of you are betting people (who isn't?). Which academic speciality is the next target of Fox News and OAN and CNN and our favorite fun politicians?

Dear r/FrankfurtSchool, I am co-organizing a summer reading group over Zoom on Adorno's Negative Dialectics. Private message me your email if you want to join and I can add you to the emailing list where the Zoom link/reading schedule will be sent out. It'll be every Wednesday at 7 PM Central Time for 8 weeks, starting this upcoming Wednesday. Unlike most reading groups this one will for sure be completed to fruition and won't peter out. All are welcome, especially those new to Adorno, critical theory, etc.
Dear r/FrankfurtSchool,
I'd like to invite you all to attend a panel discussion on "The Politics of Critical Theory" that is happening tomorrow i.e. Saturday, May 15th at 11 AM Eastern Time.

Back in the autumn of 2010, the New Left Review published a translated conversation between the critical theorists Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer causing more than a few murmurs and gasps. In the course of their conversation, Adorno comments that he had always wanted to "develop a theory that remains faithful to Marx, Engels and Lenin, while keeping up with culture at its most advanced." Adorno, it seems, was a Leninist. As surprising as this evidence might have been to some, is it not more shocking that Adorno’s politics, and the politics of Critical Theory, have remained taboo for so long? Was it really necessary to wait until Adorno and Horkheimer admitted their politics in print to understand that their primary preoccupation was with maintaining Marxism’s relation to bourgeois critical philosophy (Kant and Hegel)? This panel proposes to state the question as directly as possible and to simply ask: How did the practice and theory of Marxism, from Marx to Lenin, make possible and necessary the politics of Critical Theory?
Panelists:
Paul Breines (Professor Emeritus of History at Boston College)
Tom Canel (SHARE/AFSCME, Democratic Socialists of America)
Paul Demarty (Communist Party of Great Britain)
Alex Steinberg (Marxist Education Project)
Hope to see you all there!
