I'm moving away from this argument because all y'all are not actually interested in seriously engage in it, and this isn't the I/P thread, where I already had this argument and SedanChair lost it, which is why he is revamping it here instead, as he was banking on people being unaware of my posting history on this subject and not knowing he'd been owned before.

What I am going to do is not engage in this stupidity further because I have actual work to do. If anybody's actually interested in knowing more, go to the I/P thread, click the "?" by my name, look for this argument there, and judge for yourselves.

Congratulations, argument champion.

You can't really believe that the global market of today is at all like or resembling the global market of the 19th century.

There's a lot more power associated with financial capital, but it does resemble the global market of the 16th and 17th centuries, as a matter of fact.

See, but I'd argue that the increased importance of financial capital and the technologies with which we use to procure/maintain said capital irrevocably changes the global market into some new, ugly beast. Like, on the surface it may seem the same as bygone centuries, but not at all once you start paying attention. I could be entirely talking out my rear end though, but regardless I still strongly feel that communism as it's usually defined is not the answer to the worlds/poorer people's problems.

It's just hard getting enthused over more ideas stemming from dead white guys who would have little understanding of our world today. I prolly could stand to look up how communist theory's changed, tho, since the days of marx in order to better explain my argument. :shrug:

it was actually a bad joke about how early colonialism was basically outsourcing

I mean, there's definitely a need to create a neocommunism that has dealt with Keynes, developmental economics, and environmentalism, as well as incorporating Fanon, Lumumba, Boganda, etc. into the central ideology underpinnings, and which is more internationalist than the European-focused stuff. I guess Subcomandante Marcos and other movements focused on Amerindian heritage are doing that right now, but I also want something that will make Trots as relevant as Christian Socialists.

You know, I'm going to be honest with you, I'm sick and tired of having to justify myself as not being a loving Zionist shill every single loving time I bring up the fact that people are being misleading or wrong in their poorly argued and misinformed critiques of Israeli policy, and for some reason me taking pains to bring up actual, credible critiques somehow never counts in my favor. I spend a lot of energy contributing credible criticisms in this and especially in the current and last I/P thread, and it would be nice not to loving have to start over having to argue you assholes down from presenting me as a loving pro-Jewish mass murder apologist. Americans, Saudis, tons of other assholes from lovely countries never need to do this at that level on these forums.

No, I'd say for way too many of you critique of Israeli policies is just used as license to be antisemitic idiots. It doesn't really encourage me to spend any energy informing you about that part of the world, which is really stupid, because if you weren't busy being bigoted shitheads that information might actually help you make a difference and help those Palestinians you claim to care so much about.

Yeah exactly. I know that when I say "communism's dumb and kind of bad/unworkable" I'm only considering the limited knowledge I have of European-focused communist philosophy--because that's all I've been educated on. There isn't that much of a focus on anyone else's brand/interpretation of communism in most educational courses unless you straight up look for information regarding those specific regions/peoples. It's why I said I was probably talking out my rear end by blanket dismissing communism for the failures of its European-branch.
