@StealthTax @MattPolProf @Calderbank Holy, massive self-report.

@MattPolProf (2/2) ... Or because he was genuinely committed to Dollfuss's cause, it doesn't exactly cast Mises in the best light.

A coward who capitulates to fascists isn't much better than an actual fascist, imo.

[Trisolaris0🌹 @Trisolaris0]

@MattPolProf (1/2) I think it's worth noting that Mises also worked as an economist for the Austrian chamber of commerce under the fascist dictator Engelbert Dollfuss. Whether he did so because he feared for what would happen to him if he had refused ...

@TherynDArnold I really have to get around to reading Simon Clarke one of these days...

@Gattungswesen25 Could you explain how this view differs (if you believe it does) from class reductionism? Genuinely curious.

[Trisolaris0🌹 @Trisolaris0]

@naihpne Could you elaborate?

[Matt McManus @MattPolProf]

Officially halfway done.

@Enphian It's such a shame that the secondary literature on Wollstonecraft is so slim compared to other major thinkers of the British Enlightenment.

I really hope Wollstonecraft gets a second wind, the same goes for Sophie de Grouchy.

@naihpne @Linus200712345 Ah, I see.

I've also watched the video since leaving my comment and it's fine. It's just rehashing what Marx wrote in On the Jewish Question and Critique of the Gotha Programme.

There's basically nothing in the video that isn't also in those texts.

@naihpne @Linus200712345 Could you say what's wrong with it?

[Trisolaris0🌹 @Trisolaris0]

@Jackshitstorm @mehdirhasan No, MLK was infact a democratic socialist:

@aufgehenderRest ... It is not, in and of itself, a prescriptive view of what socialism ought to be.

[Trisolaris0🌹 @Trisolaris0]

@aufgehenderRest (1) The Nordic countries are social democratic, not democratic socialist, these terms aren't interchangeable.

(2) Democratic socialism and communism aren’t mutually exclusive, democratic socialism merely describes the way in which socialism is being achieved. ...

@Anarcgambiteiro @Enphian "I'm going to ignore the mountains of emperical data because muh coase theorem says it's wrong" Okay.

I don't know what else there is to say here. You're literally just ignoring easily accessible evidence because it conflicts with your piors. I think we're done here, cya. 👋

@Anarcgambiteiro @Enphian ... are absent elsewhere?

[Trisolaris0🌹 @Trisolaris0]

@Anarcgambiteiro @Enphian ... worker co-ops would be a universal issue, but it isn’t. Countries like Italy and Spain both have vibrant co-op ecosystems, are Spanish and Italian co-ops just built differently? Or do you think it’s because of some other reason, like the existence of incentives that ...
