@Joshua_the_car@realDonaldTrump The trouble with saying something so dishonest, then providing an accompanying clip, is that some people will watch the clip and realize you are willfully misrepresenting what he said
@Brbrophy15@jacksonhinkle No offense meant. Just being a smart ass.
But the Labor Theory of Value is absolutely correct and it is the reason why the phenomenon you raised leads to economic crisis rather than shared prosperity and growing recreational time for working people
@Brbrophy15@jacksonhinkle Wow, it would be crazy if Marx addressed this directly with his explanation of the Tendancy of the Rate of Profit to Fall, no?
@Dojizek@LaissezCorvid@iridezcense@LottaFrau91910 It began as a (misguided, in my view) strain of socialism and remained as such until the right wing intelligentsia set out to deliverately pervert jts meaning.
Same with “libertarian”
And “capitalism” for that matter
@LaissezCorvid@philagelio@Dojizek@iridezcense@LottaFrau91910 Weird how you continue saying this, even after I have demonstrated that it is the Right which has changed the definitions of words to fit their ideological aims.
It is a fact that a capitalist society requires a powerful, centralized state and manipulation of markets
@Dojizek@iridezcense@LottaFrau91910@LaissezCorvid “Communism is not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.”
@MarbleEquanim@LaissezCorvid It sounds like what you should study is how capitalism came into this world and liberalism became the dominant at ideology.
@SADl819@MarbleEquanim@LaissezCorvid What would be revealed by an American Glasnost? We know what the Church Committee revealed, and it was a limited hangout
My argument has never been that the ussr was uniquely free of atrocities or crimes against humanity—especially in the period of growing fascist encirclement
@MarbleEquanim@LaissezCorvid That’s what you think irony is?
I would suspect that I have read about and studied the October Revolution well beyond what you have.
Furthermore, I would bet the bulk of what you think you know is just repeated Nazi, CIA and mi6 propaganda
