@2ndaccincase Every movement, whether it's Palestinians or right-wing movements, tends to start with a victim complex and a proclivity to portray the other side as deeply immoral. That's why Palestinian cheerleaders often think that anyone who doesn't support their cause is a Zionist.
Because the state itself depends on the successful accumulation of capital within its territory, it has an interest in intervening to preserve and promote capitalist business — this is a necessity for its own success — a necessary political complement to capitalist competition.
The “worst” part of the free market is that certain individuals will win and certain individuals will lose. Why is it bad? Not because it’s inefficient, or because it’s immoral, or because these people are inconvenienced. But rather, because when these people are inconvenienced by loss, they will tend to organise together, and ally with the state, the strongest institution in society, to ensure their continuous gain.
There is no two state solution.
There is only a one state solution, Palestine.
The Zionists can go back to Europe, or to jail for War Crimes.
All the Jews who love to live in peace, like Ultra Orthodox Jews, many of who hate Israel, will be happier living in Palestine.
By the way, the market doesn't coordinate human needs with production in general. It coordinates production with needs that are backed by purchasing power
@chlouds121600@neojedjdp@alethicgray@austrosillyism People need food. Let's take bread. There are many ways to produce bread. Some ways put more burden on some resources than others.
Prices and profit/losses figure out how best to make bread without straining scarce, valuable resources.
Even if they were all drug addicts, the question is whether people would really be convinced that bombing them is justified simply because of their drug use, habits, or other conditions.
Plainly obvious propaganda effort to make Yemeni people look like drug addicts who need to be bombed for their own good, but I don’t know how effective it is when half of Americans have to fake an ADHD diagnosis to get pills for their desk job. Khat is just a double espresso at worst.
Woke up to 19 notifications. I'm not even going to check them. I don't want social media to start feeling like a job — constantly monitor and respond to.
It would be a lot better if both Hayekians and leftists understood what communism is. We could have gotten rid of this ruckus. After interacting with both leftists and Austrian economics fans, I've come to the conclusion that almost no one knows what communism is.
@godandhismercy@austrosillyism Not that, but that communism isn't opposed to Stirner's concept of the ego. It's a post-Stirner conception of communism.
The curse of discipline is that every day looks the same.
The curse of indiscipline is that every year does.
Neuroplasticity wires whichever one you repeat.
@godandhismercy@austrosillyism Read the part where Marx addresses Stirner's arguments about the ego and interests. My point is that Marx's communism doesn't rest on the value form or whatever shit theorists have cooked up from Marx's theory, which he developed primarily to critique the political economy.
