Down to the preparation of a network of domestic and extraterritorial concentration camps to "liberate" the concrete from the personifications of the abstract
A capitalist factory is a place where value is produced, which “unfortunately” has to take the form of the production of goods, of use-values. The concrete is produced as the necessary carrier of the abstract. The extermination camps were not a terrible version of such a factory but, rather, should be seen as its grotesque, Aryan, “anticapitalist” negation. Auschwitz was a factory to “destroy value,” that is, to destroy the personifications of the abstract. Its organization was that of a fiendish industrial process, the aim of which was to “liberate” the concrete from the abstract. The first step was to dehumanize, that is, to rip away the “mask” of humanity, of qualitative specificity, and reveal the Jews for what “they really are”—shadows, ciphers, numbered abstractions. The second step was to then eradicate that abstractness, to transform it into smoke, trying in the process to wrest away the last remnants of the concrete material “use-value”: clothes, gold, hair, soap.

"As an expression of the capital fetish its real thrust is forward. It emerges in the transition from liberal to bureaucratic capitalism and becomes virulent in a situation of structural crisis"
The hypostatization of the concrete and the identification of capital with the manifest abstract underlie a form of “anticapitalism” that seeks to overcome the existing social order from a standpoint which actually remains immanent to that order. Inasmuch as that standpoint is the concrete dimension, this ideology tends to point toward a more concrete and organized form of overt capitalist social synthesis. This form of “anticapitalism,” then, only appears to be looking backward with yearning. As an expression of the capital fetish its real thrust is forward. It emerges in the transition from liberal to bureaucratic capitalism and becomes virulent in a situation of structural crisis.

I mean this is just not something everyone can say
Still, his impact is widely felt. Kuromiya would call himself the “Forrest Gump of activism”, according to his biographer, Che Gossett, because he was improbably present at so many historical actions. Just to take the Civil Rights movement alone: on stage at the “March on Washington”, a hundred or so feet away from Martin Luther King, Jr., whom he met for the first time that night. Following the violence on the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, he flew to Montgomery with money raised by Duke Ellington (apparently the musician’s first time funding any civil rights action) and was himself “clubbed down” so severely and egregiously that it was announced he had died. He and King drafted a statement for the sheriff to deliver, what King called “the very first time a southern sheriff had apologised for injuring a civil rights worker”. After King’s assassination, Kiyoshi travelled to Atlanta to take care of King’s two young sons during the week of the funeral.

Longtime ig followers may recognize I posted this exact dinner in 2021. However, I have since perfected its elements, in particular the shishito peppers which are possibly the best thing I’ve ever cooked myself
