Worldviews that take on the posture of common sense and “realism” suffer from as much wishful thinking as any other. The sudden transformations of the world into what we know it as now were wrought by categories of people and thought alien to the milieu of their own time.

Fyodorov and Tsiolkovsky were writing about the resurrection of the dead, space colonization, and a post-national, post-human project—certainly not a "retvrn" or anything resembling a reactionary project. Or am I misunderstanding you?

What sets Fyodorov and Tsiolkovsky apart from the artistic avant garde of the modernist period is that their work carried a direct impact on scientific innovation in the Soviet state. Fyodorov was hostile to socialism and Tsiolkovsky was indifferent until the end of his life.

The Cosmists pursued visions of resurrection and immortality but ended up recuperated into Soviet ideology. Modern tech accelerationists are following in their footsteps. New from Palladium Deputy Editor @alexgelland palladiummag.com/2023/08/24/a-n…

Folk performances taped by entrepreneurs or preservationists at the end of the '80s, when a generation of performer was starting to pass away, are valuable. This is Yan Guirong performing "Liquor, Sex, Greed, and Passion." This is not a creative subtitling. You will get the idea.

I feel guilty not offering more, not sharing some shred of global history that links these places, some attempt at theorizing the transnational postwar public housing model, but this is only game: For each development, give me the country in which it was built.
@alexgelland It’s a complicated coalition but it exists in the dissident right, as you probably know. See, for example, the lineup for Hereticon. hereticon.com
@alexgelland Also, and I argue this in my chapter on OG Cosmism, K. and F. we’re explicitly in favor of a universe of all humans, all the time, all the same, mostly from the past. Nothing more reactionary than spreading one eternal return throughout the galaxy.
