Talk:Situationist International

small edit needed
The word DEGRADED needs to be replaced with APPEARS because Marx never used the former. First sentence of Capital reads: the wealth of societies in which capitalism prevails APPEARS as an immense collection of commodities.

"which argued that under a capitalist society the wealth is degraded to an immense accumulation of commodities," — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.68.252 (talk) 20:43, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The theory of the Situationist International was an expansion and rearticulation of Marxist critical theory, and not limited to its terms. Past this, there is a translation issue to be noted; Marx and Engels wrote in German, the Situationist International published primarily in French, and this article is written in English. Any concern about the exact terminology used in elucidating the theory of the Situationist International in this article should take this into account. Lastly, cursory review shows all uses of the term "degrade" to be appropriate and accurate in explaining ideas of the Situationist International. If you would like to elaborate on your concern, myself and other editors of this article would be happy to address them. BlindMic (talk) 08:50, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Situationists: Just what are they talking about?
"Critics of the Situationists frequently assert that their ideas are not in fact complex and difficult to understand, but are at best simple ideas expressed in deliberately difficult language, and at worst actually nonsensical."

In the interests of clear and honest debate, might not this article fully address this comment? For what if the ideas of the Situationists - far from being complex or difficult - are simply "nonsensical"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.69.169.2 (talk) 19:09, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
