My only issue with this analysis is that I feel there is a hole between the way that puts capitalist colonial societies already worshipped power and hierarchy. You only have to look at the slogans of the 1905 revolution, that were largely begging the 'little father' tsar Nicholas to save them.
Russia was already an empire of course, but I'm still interested in teasing out the gaps between capitalist logics and domination under non capitalist colonial hierarchies from the perspective of the oppressed.
Play and festivals etc still existed in pre capitalist European cultures but they worshipped hierarchy and their masters. How did the brain worms go do deep?
My answer is yes. To expand on that, there's lots that can't and wasn't covered in an article about play as a unifying human theme and about the construction of Western time. But as LMAists, we should always be trying to better perceive and understand the right questions, and the hard questions. We don't however necessarily need to solve all of them as they aren't all in our environment and within our ability to solve. Something you and I have discussed and I've discussed with other martial artists is seeing play exist even in current reactionary martial arts spaces, sometimes even more so than it does in many radical martial arts and self-defense spaces. Ive seen more than one radical zine about self-defense and martial arts training about how you NEED a coach and instructor (master). Why does it go so deep amongst people who identify as horizontalists? But play existing in reactionary martial arts spaces is more a testament to the resilience of play, but perhaps also an indictment of many radical martial arts and self-defense spaces. Even here, there's a lot left unsaid but ofc these questions are things I'll constantly post about on social media, so even if an article doesn't cover it, the contradictions and problems and questions are a theme in my social media posts. What I like about social media posts rather than articles is they're more like a continuing conversation rather than a fixed work trapped in time.
*There is a hole between the way that pre capitalist colonial societies already worshipped power and hierarchy, capitalism wasn't special in that way.
*these are my questions.
Sorry can't type in the morning

Three are my questions what do you think
