Marx is interesting. Capital is an economics book that even neoclassical economists can read and enjoy. The thing is that the system he criticizes, even if it's far from perfect, is still much better than communism. The main issue with capitalism is that it tends to promote "winner takes all" situations (aka monopolies). If you're slightly better than everyone else, you don't just earn slightly more, you end up taking all the market. Also, economies of scale (that exist in nearly all modern industries) tend to create monopolies (what some call "Cournot's dilemma"). That's why you need a regulator (the State) to break the monopolies when it's needed. The USA was at the forefront on antitrust laws, unfortunately, not anymore............. Some US industries (like big tech...) need cleaning! Another issue is that negative externalities (like screwing up the environment) can't be taken into account in a fully uncontrolled market economy. That's why you need the State here too, though, these type of regulations need to be well dosed if you don't want to end up with an useless bureaucracy. "Western" societies have no transcendence and today's level of nihilsim/absurdity is pretty high, but I still prefer our society to nazism and communism, because at least we're free and we don't die from starvation.

I really don't like Sartre. The shit he has defended is awful. He covered the USSR during their worst actions and wars (while everybody knew - at least, those that were willing to know). Maoism is even worse. Communism killed 80+ million people (famines in Ukraine, people sent to Gulag, massive massacres in Cambodia, etc.) and maoism was particularly deadly (the great leap forward created the great chinese famine... death by famine of 30+ million is terrible). Being a maoist apologist while millions are killed is unforgivable IMHO. That part about the blond in Genealogy of Morals is trash. It's typical of 19th century lunacies (which continued until the mid 20th century), I don't like that he wrote that shit either. However, if you read the passage entirely, and put it in the context of what he wrote, you'll realize it's not related to nazi-type beliefs (the blonds are not just the germans, it's the greeks, japanese, etc.). He's just using stupid concepts from his century to develop his ideas about vitality (also, his historical references are sometimes incorrect). BTW, Nietzsche despises antisemites, he says they are the lowest of scumbags. Anyway, I agree that this text is trash, even if I know Nietzsche would've spit in Hitler's face if he had met him. Hitler is the embodiment of resentment, he's everything that Nietzsche hates and despises. Genealogy is not his best book. I told you: Twilight, Z or Beyond good and evil are much better.

I've learnt about him in high school, but not really after that, so I can't say I know much about him. What are his main focuses?

I like this piece, it sometimes acts like a little drug. Even the player looks possessed at some point Anyway, I like this anime's soundtrack which was obviously heavily inspired by Bach.
One of the professors that I learned philosophy from considered this to be one of the best definitions of philosophy.
You deserve the backlash, Netflix. It's not going to affect you much, because all your competitors are trash and you're in a freaking oligopoly, but at least you'll get our contempt.
This movie is trash, but guess what, according to the "intellectual powerhouses" in the mainstream media, you're a dangerous right-winger if you don't like "Cuties": https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/cuties-mignonnes-the-extraordinary-netflix-debut-that-became-the-target-of-a-right-wing-campaign Because of course they were going to politicize this shit. Same scenario all over again: giant company creates a bad product and when they see the public doesn't like it, they call their shills in the media to cover their ass with politicization ("buuut the movie is so progressive" and "only bad people don't like it" ). And look at that, that douche Scott Mendelson (the one that called anyone criticizing the Last Jedi a "Russian trollbot") defends Cutie as well. https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2020/08/21/netlifx-cuties-controversy-is-ridiculous/#6dca11525c8b The difference between the official critics (the fake pundits from the mainstream media) and the audience is often big, but this time it's gigantic:
