In our article we discuss the Hegelian reading of Marxism put forward by the famous Polish philosopher Marek Siemek. He exposed the deep but often unrealized dependence of Marxism upon Hegelian thought. This is particularly true with regard to Marxism’s attempts to develop a theory of philosophical self-knowledge. For Siemek, this philosophical dimension of Marxism is manifested in a dialectical critique of ideology, which then develops into a mature critique of political economy. The conceptual matrix of historical materialism is in turn fully utilized in the work of György Lukács, who for Siemek was the perfect example of ‘Marxist philosopher’, with all the ambiguities that this term entails. By analysing these issues, we will also identify an evolution in Siemek’s own thought: from Lukácsian/Hegelian Marxism to ‘transcendental social philosophy’ indebted to Habermasian communicative rationality. His transformation raises a question: does the dialectical Hegelian Marxist tradition lead, in its very conceptual structure—with the primacy of mediation, to the practical outcome of moderate social democratic policy, rather than revolutionary communism? Therefore, in our conclusion we would like to reconsider the possible internal limitations of this philosophical approach in the context of social praxis.

While Stalinism destroyed the Bolshevik Revolution completely by replacing Marx’s idea of communism as the ‘association of free people’ with a dictatorship of the despotic Oriental version of state capitalism that masqueraded as socialism, liberalism, fascism, and authoritarianism (the three axes of modern capitalist societies) have led not only to the collapse and destruction of reason, but also to the destruction of the very basis of critical thinking itself. This essay claims that Slavoj Žižek’s idea of the Denkverbot (‘prohibition against thinking’) is an important idea that raises the importance of philosophy to not only counter the rise of global versions of authoritarianism, but also to critique late imperialism in permanent and terminal crisis. It talks of the apocalyptic idea of the ‘end of time’, a biblical theme that is now being put into practice in Ukraine with the Russian invasion and fueled by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bloc of nations which, like Russia, can only exist with the help of images of the apocalypse. What must be mentioned is that while Stalin replaced Marxism as critical theory with authoritarian dogma and while fascism completely repressed classical German philosophy to create a nationalist mytho-politics of the ‘Aryan race’, the discipline of rigorous philosophy was banished in universities by neoliberal capitalism for whom philosophy as critical thinking had to be supplemented by the principles of hyper-consumerism and the corresponding ‘complete regression of thinking’. This essay is on the very important questions ‘What is called philosophical thinking?’ and ‘How can revolutionary thinking transcend the domain of the counterrevolutionary repressed mind?’ and, most importantly, the very burning question: ‘What is philosophy?’
