That is if you think this is culture. It is to me a violent aberration that must go with the betterment of American culture.

Strikes alone cannot topple capitalism (or rather, they are the foundation of a wide labour movement, which needs to see beyond the immediate demands of the strike, turn towards political goals of a higher order). Pure trade unionism can beat concessions out of capitalists only if it can through str...

If you haven’t studied history or actually read any of the philosophers and thinkers you are talking about, this discussion, much as the other one, will be going nowhere, Darth Yan. I suggest improving own knowledge of the matter before actually criticizing the arguments of another which are built u...

I don’t trust either the Salafist fiefdom or the US, of course. I just feel the Salafist fiefdom getting payback for its Yemen bombings is a more likely scenario than false flag, but nothing would amaze me.

Ive seen at least one conspiracy theory that it is self inflicted to blame iran. That would be cosmically stupid. An acquaintance of mine operates a part of plant of similar size. Such fires can spread quickly and this could have led to total loss of the facility so that rebuilding would have taken...

Billionaire wishing to smash traditional structures that impede capitalism? Truly astonishing. Sarcasm aside, this is only notable because of Gates’ slick PR machine that paints him as some sort of humble, progressive super capitalist who is concerned about the fates of all mankind. He really plays ...

I’m saying that you should acknowledge that people fled the Soviet Union for a reason Yes, so? People also flee the Third World for a reason (a great many reasons). If you haven’t noticed, I’ve already acknowledged most of your criticisms. Is there a further point to them, besides “poor barbaric co...

The Soviet Union had a black market for western goods, breadlines, people being reported if they uttered a peep about the government....you're looking at everything through rose colored glasses. Yes... so what? What is your point? Unlike privileged Westerners, I don’t see the world through rose-col...

1.) No they aren't. Seems like they are, and also you can’t invest a bit of time in spellchecking. In Experience Communist Russia was a shithole I‘m sure that unlike me who was born in the USSR you‘re uniquely qualified to call other nations shitholes. :lol: That just shows how much of a smug First...

Oh wow, looks like privileged First Worlders lecturing a person from outside the First World on who is a monster (Dessalines? Or the slavers? Or everyone, false equivalence?) and what is correct and good (forgiving slavers, for example). You do realize my views are based on experience and theory bot...

Fuck Saudis. Hope they lose 100% of their capacity soon for what they are doing in Yemen and their funding of ISIS and other islamists.

No, I'm not saying that, despite the persistent efforts of you and others on this board to frame me as a colonialist and racist whenever I disagree with them. You are cherry-picking examples and you know it. I am not framing you. I like to know if you would claim that national independence is not w...

A politically neutral and independent head of state is impossible. At the very least the head of state would be a nationalist of its own state, to a smaller or greater degree. The claim to neutrality is thereby void. Not just that - the ceremonial HoS will rubberstamp anything and everything. Did th...

I asked how this relates to morals, because you said “morally”. Holding or manifesting principles of better conduct and relating to right and wrong.

I understand your point perfectly, but contend it has little to do with morals or morality.

What is “morally” superior and how? How does a head of state who is hereditary automatically receive moral superiority? You have claimed them; you have not explained how the duration of service makes one a morally superior head of state. By your logic being a leader for life is morally superior to b...

“Self-selected” sounds like people just appoint themselves to heads of state as opposed to being elected by, well, others?!

“Superman” is an alien with offensively godlike superpowers. I don’t think he will be a bum. It is the normal humans who might have a reality-adjustment issue. Are all the supporting cast also enjoying the benefits of memory adjustments? Because if they are not, then... Besides, the OP explicitly sa...

There's nothing that stops a whisper network from being precisely as unfair or abusive as a public callout. It could be directed against you just as easily as a callout could, and you have less ability to counter it than you do for a public callout. So people's objections on the grounds that callou...

So Uber will be destroyed if it’s forced to eat extra costs, but what about the drivers? Will they get any help after the “gig driver” company goes down?

So let me get this straight, are you saying, say, Haiti and China were not worse off as colonies than under their own governments, because their post-colonial governments were not democratic? Just so that I understand what we are talking about. Imperfect liberation is not liberation? Imperfect self-...

Well, what saddens you is my delight! I am very glad to see people going back to the roots. Without Marx’s original analysis of capitalism as an exploitative formation, the left would still be in idealistic jungles of various forms of wishful thinking. ;) Besides, Marxism in its various forms has be...

“As if they were always there” means that a large section of the US military-industrial complex is obsolete overnight via the porting of Stark’s flying nanotechnology suits. You have to think a bit more about the implications of mass adjustments to reality. If you move their entire assets, this will...

I'll be frank: few things disturb or dishearten me more than seeing so much of the newfound energy in the Left being channeled into renewed support for Communism. You understood it was satire, right? No, communism is not "the answer" to capitalism. No, abolition is not the answer to slave...

Many will get drunk and die from drugs horribly due to being ripped out of their worlds. Daily Planet staff has no career experience that could be acceptable by modern HR, become barely paid freelancers. Wayne Enterprises is bankrupted, because moving the people here is not equivalent to moving all ...
