Libs stay mad

Suddenly all the libs who wander into the thread couldn’t care less about the oppression of muslims

Your comment is pure ignorance

Capitalism is a historically bounded socio-economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their utilization for profit-making

It is a social relation between those who have private property and those who do not, this social relation through the logic of labor mediated through private ownership; manifests as wage labor, state enforced property relations, and legal codes that shape contract and civil law

Fascism is a militarized offshoot of siege liberalism, a stress response in the face of market crises that induces capitalists to intensify the rate of exploitation and accumulation through the racialization and then suppression of labor, even beyond its borders

Fascists seek to maintain the hierarchy of capitalist property relations through homogenizing and regimenting the surrounding population, thereby destroying any social barriers that limit capital accumulation

Hot and Local, that’s the Hexbear way

When people ask me, what was the height of capitalist innovation? I show them the Shrek goo

there’s no (thermodynamics issue) with the idea that it would take less energy to capture CO2 and store it somewhere than the CO2 released in that energy’s production.

That’s the issue, we don’t have the technology to do that at scale, the law of thermodynamics looks far away at a micro level, but at the macro it teleports behind you and sucker punches you

It’s all about scalability and its relationship to the law

Making shit up and hoping no one will notice huh? You really aren’t giving it your best

The Soviet Union was the fastest industrializing state in the interwar period, come up with better propaganda

Nah it’s fine, it was tiptoeing toward the line, but it never got there

878 comments?! What did you people do? jesus lmao

Law of thermodynamics? Never heard of it, sounds like leftist propaganda to me

There’s always been black and brown characters in Pokémon, this scumbag isn’t even a fan he’s just a racist

lmao that’s so bad wtf, they’re putting this shit in cartoons? Western kids never had a chance

Reminds me of that one famous episode back during the old sub days when another prolific poster tried to “debunk” Marx by repeatedly copy-pasting the definition of “production functions” and claiming the only way socialism would work is through marginalism, he received hundreds of upvotes very comment

lmao it was simultaneously the funniest and worst thing I’d ever seen on the old sub, leftist reddit in 2018 was wild

Rentierism is basically just a transfer from a circuit of capital to a circuit of revenue, so the source of the revenue can fall under both categories of profit making in the form of costs

For the theory of monopoly to make sense it has to apply to both macro and mirco, sure from the individual consumer’s viewpoint there appears to be monopolies everywhere (Walmart in a small town) but at scale we don’t see that, we see vicious competition between enormous firms (and small firms) all over the world, Walmart may not have powerful competitors in a small town, but go to any plaza in the US what do you see next to the Walmart? Nothing but competitors; a Target right there, a best buy over there, a Home depot down the road, a Costco across the street, there’s centralization of capital absolutely, but where’s the monopoly in this picture?

Now over the history of capitalism there have been phenomenon that take on the appearance of monopoly (company towns, energy cartels, massive nation sized corporations) and sure you can assert there are localized monopolies, but as an aggregate across national economies small firms still exist in enormous numbers, and at the scale where the majority of capital is made, i.e. across national borders there’s nothing but competition

Now there’s widespread confusion on this matter because neoclassical economics implies that any firm at scale is not competing “properly” and as such is a monopoly, liberals and modern Marxists alike fall for it, but it’s a fantasy construction by a tradition that was designed specifically to negate Marxist economics

Yes, essentially the same thing

Militarization of space is the only driving force behind these efforts, otherwise the US state would never fund this stuff, which is why they keep looking for private capitals they can offload the costs on, of course it’s not gonna happen

The aristocratic arrogance of British intelligence has always been its downfall, when paired against the bourgeois lawyers of the Napoleonic empire they at least could give as good as they got, but since then it’s been blunder after blunder with only the explosive strength of anglo capital saving them from total collapse

1. Two; labour being the modern primary and profit on alienation being the other (i.e. buy cheap, sell dear)
2. Competition; but not in the nonsensical way it’s defined by the modern neoclassical tradition
3. Profitability, you nailed it

Three simple questions can reveal whether these ultras are genuine or larpers who don’t read

1. How many sources of profit are there?
2. Does competition or monopoly define capital accumulation?
3. Is profitability or consumption the driving force of capitalist production?

No lie, I’ve never meet an ultra who answered these correctly, mfs on that dogmatist train do not read Marx
