Okay Gentlemen . . . now gentlemen we went over the rules in the dressing room again I want to caution you to keep this fight clean at all times protect yourself at all times and what I say you must obey good luck and touch them up all right.

*bell rings* Round 1

The challenger Gordon Stephenson Stephenson immediately surges out into the center of the ring and Stephenson is coming up more aggressive than Djinen in the first round with his close reading of the manifesto and is throwing out its conceptual errors left and right taking it on proposition by proposition. Good defence by Djinen and he’s sitting in the pocket more trying to gain his comfortability he ate that right hand from Stephenson DJINEN COMING FORWARD AND DJINEN’S PRESSING THE ACTION by bringing in Lacanian Psychoanalysis to deconstruct duty and the by-productness of happiness and the foundations of ideology 70 SECONDS TO GO IN THE FIRST That was a shot My Goodness! There was a strong jab by Savoy Djinen that sent Gordon Stephenson back a little bit He’s looking to use that extra brain that he’s put onto give him that extra power that he felt he needed to put down Gordon in this fight Well Amy you pointed out that during the ring walk for Stephenson Djinin was throwing about his hands gesticulating and shadowboxing to keep himself loose while loudly sniffing Both men are in impeccable shape Oh good left hand by Savoy Djinen landed and a strong jab by Gordon Stephenson There’s a jab A jab that snapped back the head of the Jungian.

*bell rings*

[Excellent first round by Savoy Djinen but Gordon Stephenson remaining calm]

*bell rings* Round 2

Savoy Djinen seems to be very comfortable in that ring Amy as Gordon Stephenson waiting looking for that big shot And it is round two as the Canadian is bobbing and weaving but the Slovenian’s argumental jabs appear to problematic will he lay out the maple leaf in the second round What a fantastic moment would that be Amy but Gordon Stephenson has the highest knockout percentage in objectivist championship in history In his previous fight when he TKOed Katie Oldman with a AHA!GOTCHA moment but Djinen’s jabs seem to be problematic right now for the Red Lobster There’s a big jab it was a jab left hook kinda combination BIG RIGHT HAND that snaps back the head of Djinen That’s Djinen tying up we’re coming on 90 seconds to go here in the second round Both fighters exchanging big leather here Gordon looking to launch that deconstructive right hand that has put down so many idpol neoliberals Big right hand by Stephenson but Djinen dodges it well with his critique of idpol neolibs as capitalists

*bell rings*

[Both fighters still at it even after the bell, and Lenny Wayne is separating them Beautiful fight so far clean punches ebbs and flows poetry blow by blow]

*bell rings* Round 3

Both men with very entertaining Stephenson is throwing a volley of light archetypical jabs with an allegorical dragon-sheep hook Djinen is eating it well Djinen moves in Push Stepping aggressively ‘You define your enemy is the Post Modern Neo Marxists correct? Well let me ask you this’ A RIGHT HAND that connects by Djinin He can be heard shouting now ‘Where are the Marxists? Where are the Marxists? ’And a Dialectical Cross that Connects with Stephenson’s abdomen ‘Where are the Marxists?’ An Overhand Right and Down goes Stephenson Down goes Stephenson Oh My Goodness! And it is only round three I can’t believe what I am watching Anthony and we can see that the referee has begun the count and Stephenson is on the canvas looking up at the lights Wait Amy he’s getting up Will he beat the count And he’s up and he’s up with fifteen seconds on the clock to go And Stephenson is moving in Can Savoy Djinen finish off Gordon Stephenson A Right Hand Stephenson is hurt Stephenson’s legs are not underneath him He is in huge trouble no knockdown no knockdown

*bell rings*

[What an eventful round Amy it almost looked like the end for Stephenson but he is somehow still hanging in His legs are gone underneath him I know he is taking some heavy punishment from the Slovenian and looks utterly shell shocked in his corner now he looks fatigued His ear is bleeding that means the equilibrium is gone What a great observation Amy What a reversal we are seeing tonight Savoy is not leaving any room for error Stephenson is being outboxed on his own terrain outplayed at his own game]

*bell rings* Round 4

Blood streaming a little bit from the mouth of Stephenson Gordon Stephenson put down for what I believe is the first time in his career And here comes Savoy again Djinen looks tremendous here And down goes Stephenson again And he’s still bleeding out of his ear Djinen lands a shot to the body right there Gordon Stephenson has to dig deep And another Right hand by Djinen Halfway mark in the fourth And look at Djinen go ‘Give me some names go on who are these postmodern neo Marxists’ ’The utterly impotent moralisation of the neolibs?’ Stephenson unable to land a single shot Djinen needs to be careful when he leans in he’s dropping that left hand it leaves a wide open Stephenson is bleeding from his mouth Djinen seems to be in control of the fight so far A right hand by Djinen Stephenson doesn’t seem to be himself and it’s probably because of the technical brilliance of Savoy Djinen

*bell rings*

[Let’s take a look back Stephenson’s not really landing that many punches Something is wrong with his legs but Savoy Djinen he looks exceptional]

*bell rings* Round 5

And they’re ready to go even before the bell rings A Right Hand by Djinen He goes on the Attack! ‘You mention Foucault, His main target was Marxism. . . the enjoyment of self-marginalisation’ Djinen’s swarming Stephenson ‘Will you say to the people in North Korea Set our house in order’ And that was a punch on the back of the head right there ‘Why the choice between the personal and the political’ Stephenson it feels is having difficulty with the physicality of Savoy Djinen ‘Tea or Coffee Yes Please Personal or Political Yes Please’ Djinen with a right to the body As a minute twenty has come off the clock in the fifth round The Lobsterman being pushed to the limit like he never has before in his career This is the fight of his life A right hand by Djinen Stephenson’s having trouble with his balance he’s held on to the rope for a few seconds blood streaming from the ear Anything can happen But this isn’t how we were expecting the night to go Stephenson has his back against the wall He’s looking for an opening but Djinen isn’t giving him anything Djinen’s got Stephenson against the ropes A barrage of punches from Savoy Djinen Unbelievable Upper Body Movement And now a combination Huge Punishment ITS OVER TKO

I’m, I’m so disappointed by this. Professor Djinen absolutely tore apart all of GS’s arguments and ligaments. Savoy Djinen just tore apart every part of Chaos and Order.

This will be the final time I will pay for anything Gordon Stephenson related, time to take a look at some of Djinen’s works.

I’m actually liking this Djinen guy a lot, I thought he was going to be an SJW communist but he has a lot of good ideas and seems very genuine, Stephenson seems…. less sure of his ideas and I never thought I’d be saying that

Stephenson literally is shaking in his boots…It really feels like everyone subconsciously knows that Djinen is just schooling him in every way even Stephenson himself

STEPHENSON G was seriously embarrassingly unprepared. People paid to watch this. GS was totally outclassed the entire time, regurgitating stuff I’ve heard in his lectures as a crutch the entire time. If anything good came out of this abject disappointment it’s that I was introduced to Djinen

No View from Nowhere: On Discourse, Différance & Functorial Semantics of Micro-Communities

This essay argues that natural language semantics admits no global orientation—no ‘view from nowhere’—but only local positions within psychoanalytically and sociologically embedded discourse communities. Drawing on Derrida’s concept of différance, I demonstrate that meaning is constitutively deferred across the differential play of signs, precluding any meta-linguistic standpoint from which all local meanings could be adjudicated.… Read More »

Liberalism Is Dead, Long Live Liberalism!

Matthew McManus’ The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism is a powerful attempt to merge two disparate traditions, parlaying reformist compromise into a coherent political program. It also rests on the assumption that socialism is inherently illiberal, an assumption that deserves to be questioned. While often hailed as the single-minded son of America, perhaps the best… Read More »

Rhetoric vs Reality: Iranian Regime Is an Imperialist Project Preventing a Free Palestine!

Since its founding, the Islamic Republic of Iran has cultivated legitimacy by embedding itself within global progressive movements—particularly those oriented around anti-imperialism and racial justice.

The IRI is built on an expansionist doctrine resembling… Read More »

Regarding the Erasure of Iranian Uprising

The most recent state crackdown on Iranian protesters stands among the most violent suppressions of public dissent in Iran’s modern history. Protesters have been killed, blinded, and mass-arrested.

Why Critical Theory Isn’t Marxism & Why Western Vs. Eastern Marxism is an Illusory Dichotomy?

Hard Habit to Break: On Political Readings of Art & Marxist Citationalism

I want to talk about a habit in contemporary art writing that I keep running into, especially in Marxist-inflected theory, where interpretation is substituted with citation and judgment is treated as an embarrassment.

Two Futures

In the brief essay that follows, I consider art as an event that de-privatizes the subject by exposing us to the hyperobjects constituted by the circulation of transgenerational trauma, power, and subjective identities.
