Only one of them want my wife dead for existing.

Who was president when Roe was overturned? Who has done nothing to stop it? Biden does not give a fuck. You're naive.

Biden isn’t helping, but he won’t actively make things worse than they already are. We can either have an idiot who defends Israel and keeps kids in camps or an idiot who defends Israel, puts even more kids in camps, and takes away the few protections my wife and I have (which Biden put back in place after Trump was booted). We can either have the status quo or full-on fascism. So yes, I’m going to vote for someone I at least have a chance under.

No. You can support working class struggle in the goal to abolish class. That's punk. Picking the "lesser of two evils" is poser shit, and it won't work anyway. You might as well go to church and ask God to fix it if you think voting blue will make things better.

I mean even China towns are a thing across Western World, every major Western City has China Town.

You continue to prove yourself outstandingly imbecilic.

Fuck off, idiot hitlerite. The worst part of liberals being in this space is them constantly confusing open chauvinism (idealism) with anti-idealist politics.

Lmao saying things like this makes legitimate pro cease fire sentiment look bad. It is incredibly stupid to act as a blatant anti Semite, and then call anyone who recognizes said anti semitism a hasbara boy. While incredible stupidity seems to be in your nature, never forget it's never too late to stop being a fucking window licker.

They could've been, but there were no buyers. People aren't consuming as many apples as they used to due to high prices set by grocery stores.

The crisis of capital production in grotesque display! What a nightmare. Thousands of pounds of food left to rot into the soil while babies go hungry. I guarantee you that there are people who would eat those apples, the issue is that they cannot afford them.

only paradox games i've played are civ 5 and stellaris and i only have around 50 hours on them combined

I think the number of hours I have between civ 5, CK3, and hoi4 is greater than the total number of days the Confederacy existed.

you are so lucky i'm not vrm

Would vrm play CK3 with me, or ban me for banging my lunatic inbred sister-mother-cousin?

The Cheka tried to get me but weren't expecting the support I would get

I always wondered why value isn't like based on opinion Like making a Supreme Hoodie doesn't cost much in materials or labor but it still sells for a lot because of its perception to others

A commodities market value is determined by a broader, very subjective, social framework of supply and demand.

So why do we talk about the "use value"? Why is that a useful quality to identify? What is it besides equaling the cost of labour?

Because recognizing the use value is fundamental to understanding capital production, and thus the contradiction of capital production, correctly.

Unless of course they are famous rappers in the center of a Feud where they are both on the same side of a coin, but use music to enthrall the masses. So embarrassing.

Dude stop schizing out and go touch some fucking grass.

Why don't you? I own acres of grass I touch every day. Wait hold on. Its nice and sunny out and I can flex on almost all of you for not being able to own any grass. You have to go somewhere else and touch grass that isn't even yours.

I would be grateful if you could summarise those arguments?

If you want to understand communism then go read Marx. If you are under the impression communists believe Feudalism was superior to capitalism then you have very clearly not even read the 1848 manifesto. Your issue is that you are shadowboxing with a phantom of communism which you created in your head that is completely detached from actual communism.

We shall have to agree to disagree on this point. You are also ignoring the distinction of different kinds of occupations. Wage workers in a white collar office are going to have a very different relationship to the means of production than those who work in blue collar occupations. I don't have statistics either, but I encourage you to look into "A Nation of Shopkeepers: The Unstoppable Rise of the Petit Bourgeoisie" by the Welsh academic, Dan Evans. He is not a Marxist in the sense that we understand that term - not by any means - but the book does a good job of covering the distinctions, which are real and important.

How do white collar workers and blue collar workers have different relationships to the means of production? This idea is so tired and absurd. If a person sells their labor to create use value for market, they are proletarian. It does not matter if the use value is created through the hammer or through code, the relationship of the proletariat to capital will be the same.

He's got parkinsons I think

One helluva drug

North Korea is not communist. It’s a dictatorship owned by a brutal crime family. Even their constitution no longer mentions communism.

Lmfao whoever downvoted you for saying that the Juche necromancer monarchy isn't communism is an idiot. Saying DPRK is communist is the height of ideology.

One reason I could see is that Hamas or Hezbollah flags might simply be easier to get ones hands on.

Exactly this.

Bullshit. Being able to understand and capture the light reflected by the old man's glasses is an act of creativity in-and-of itself. With your logic we might as well declare that Vermeer failed as a creative. All art is unique if it is produced by a human hand; there is no such thing as a perfect replica. These are beautiful, and show tremendous passion.

It can be a bit different to draw from still life and photos. I think everyone here can be certain that Bryan Cranston didn't come to her house to get a photoshoot.

In the current productive mode almost all art is produced for commercial viability, and you will likely never see that rare art only intended for the artist's eyes. There is nothing wrong with a piece of art being made for the market (besides the obvious pain of creation being reduced to commodity); passion is reflected in the effort put into something, not the motive behind that effort.

To make idiots mad.

i mean, i got that it was a joke, i just didnt get the joke lol

Bruh that’s human meat …I need feathers on chicken …not a piece of meat that needs Magic Shave

I've raised chickens for food, and I can promise you it's chicken. Don't believe me, go get a full-grown chicken and process it yourself, and you'll know. Happy plucking, my friend 😃

You must be fun at parties lmao

This is funny and no one on reddit has a sense of humor

He wasn't. It's the purest form of revisionism to say he was.

Communism is famous for its nationalism, after all.

After reading it I do not see a general issue. I believed from the snippet I read that, like a Narodnik, he was saying that the Russian peasantry, because of it's unique character, would be able to morph into industrial communes without going through the suffering of capitalism.

Great questions. I do not seek to condemn all of what Engels has to say, but I would like to situate his rhetoric within a broader critique of his philosophy, which I argue for other reasons is fundamentally different from Marx when the works of Engels’ elder years are considered. They of course demonstrate a deep understanding of the task at hand that I wouldn’t want to detract from, but what can we gleen from what he says here that he doesn’t say elsewhere and what goes unsaid in these letters? Why does he make it a point to discuss the possibility of skipping primitive accumulation in Russia? Why is he writing this afterword at all?

Very interesting! I will make sure to read the Rosdolsky book when I am able. I am completely unfamiliar with Chernyshevsky, hopefully he is discussed by Rosdolsky? Or perhaps installah will make an informative musical cut of him. Does Engles and the Non Historic People's address this divide (development )between early Engles and late Engles on the Slavic rurality?

Wait dude many posts are for articles that we want to hate-read together. This is one of them. We don’t actually agree with what it’s saying.

You're right. But a lot of the posts on here in the recent past have been posted to promulgate shitlib ideas.

We can comment on the piece or surely do better than "this shouldn't be posted." There are interesting questions adjacent to the ones that Smith is asking; unfortunately he isn't asking them. Or at least he isn't in the part that's readable before the paywall.

Theoretically you are correct. Bad articles can get towards interesting questions which the author fails to address. The article in question, however, is just dog shit. It raises no interesting questions whatsoever.

I think thats a flawed analogy. In the Iran situation, whilst they may be right, it also benefits them massively to be right
