I have once again been freed from my prison

@tomalou46 @ghan_kleir @actsmaniac not really important to our point but I thought I'd just clear that up. capitalism functions by taking the money commodity M, purchasing capital with it (including you) and using that to make more money M'. M-C-M'

@tomalou46 @ghan_kleir @actsmaniac also just as a side note you're paid with a commodity we call money, not capital. capital is the buildings, the raw materials, the land, the labor, etc used in production. money is a commodity that is used as a universal equivalent to the exchange value of all other commodities

it's crazy how this image is literally kryptonite for 95% of arguments in favor of socialism

@tomalou46 @ghan_kleir @actsmaniac lifetime but a part of our daily work would be set aside to insure that our grandkids could maybe see it. and that's what's important, planting seeds for a free you'll never see grow

@tomalou46 @ghan_kleir @actsmaniac and again this gets tricky when we talk about the difference between lower stage communism, something we can do with our current technology and society, and higher stage communism, something we need to develop more to actually achieve. we won't see that higher stage in our

@RedRafin @PamphletsMaoist And Mao Makes Five by Raymond Lotta

@PamphletsMaoist Do you recommend any books on this?

the downfall of the gang of four

juche selected writings is the cure for my dealing with bad news!

had a disappointment with an interview for a new apartment today. time to buy a new book to cheer myself up!!

communist war songs: "i hate the enemy invader" fascist war songs: "im a pedophile"

this is a personal account now so I no longer have to feel bad about talking about things non politics related. which means HOLY FUCK THE NEW STARCRAFT BALANCE PATCH IS CRAZY!!!! GATEWAYS ARE QUICKER THAN WARPGATES NOW!!!!

@__ffree @maoisthnvx_25 the footnotes are the best part. they're either an in depth exploration of some off hand comment he wrote, or a 3 page take down of a 1500s writer I've never heard of but Marx personally hates. no in between

@maoisthnvx_25 @dialecticPaige few are able to write (especially in vol 1) with such rigor and personality; the wit and insight in many of the footnotes alone qualifies him as one without many equals.

i love karl marx so much man. the preface to the first edition of capital is so personal and full of life. "Perseus wore a magic cap so that the monsters he hunted down might not see him. We drew the magic cap down over our own eyes and ears so as to deny there are monsters"

@Bigmonger @PamphletsMaoist DAMN. Peter Parker you slime!!!

@dialecticPaige @PamphletsMaoist New synthesis came out in 2016, but they where disruptive inside the RIM before that

Peter Parker is a loyal follower of Mao Zedong

@Maple_b0i_ @FifthCrichton @TwoSk8boards it's a new account. twitter does that cause they worry anyone joining is a bot. and idk I find Reys character charming enough to carry TFA for me. I love Disney princesses and she's a Disney princess in space. it's also Finn's best movie and his arc is nowhere in ANH

@dialecticPaige @FifthCrichton @TwoSk8boards Idk why it's marking your replies as spam but TFA is firmly a popcorn movie to me. It just kinda reads as New Hope but worse and whenever I watch it I feel annoyed I'm not just watching A New Hope

@tomalou46 @ghan_kleir @actsmaniac under communism (lower or higher stage) you either get paid fully back for your labor, get it returned to you through the social wage partially, or through the social wage totally. but you get the full value of however much you worked rather than just how much is needed to return

@tomalou46 @ghan_kleir @actsmaniac in addition to what the other user said, in capitalism you are not paid by how much you work, you are paid how much is needed to get you to come back to work another day. those aren't the same thing. over the course of your workday you produce more value than you're paid
