Communist Thoughts posted:This is the Labour plan now though. Radicalism weaponised against the left and centre is a hell of a drug. BalloonFish posted:The gearing up of the culture war, Brexit and the current BLM stuff, has made it really clear to me that some people just have a complete mental block at being able to appreciate that stuff happens in the world because forces and systems, driven by groups of people, make it happen and keep it happening. They think as if the world up to some point in their childhood/adolescence just spontaneously appeared and is 'natural' while anything that seeks to explain that or change it is 'political' - and therefore bad. Literally (small c)onservative thinking. That’s a good question. How do we describe the market economy that predates capitalism in the Marxist analytical sense? Because making stuff or doing things and getting abstract tokens that can be exchanged for other goods or services in return is a thing that can happen without capitalism, and yet a lot of the day to day problems people have are objections to how the market works, not the abstract facts that capital accumulates infinitely via compounding, leading to increasingly unfair distribution of wealth as time goes on.

My wife’s job has gone back to the office and I’m probably going to be at home until next year at this point. I didn’t think it would bother me but I’m already feeling at a bit of a loose end sat on my tod in our little converted office room. I am all out of podcasts already. We were supposed to be going to Japan in October but lol, looks like I’ve got a potential argument with the travel insurance/expedia on my hands in a month or two instead.

I've been skiing twice, once on a school trip and once in the indoor place in Milton Keynes which was surprisingly good. But then, I've never made a secret of being a bit boogie. I do own a flat after all.

I've been skiing once with school and once with family. My parents go every few years. I don't think it's actually that expensive unless you go somewhere really trendy. It's a completely miserable experience though.

I didn’t think it would bother me but I’m already feeling at a bit of a loose end sat on my tod in our little converted office room. I am all out of podcasts already. You might be lucky and the flights might get cancelled and then the holiday. This happened for me last week much to my relief before the outstanding amount for the holiday was required end of this week! We booked through an agent and they are doing all the refund chasing for us. (I insisted to my travelling companion that we get the agent to book our flights so they could have the aggro if any.) Jel Shaker posted:Waitrose was the place to go if you wanted the full lockdown safety experience Still is - it's 3 mins walk from my flat. Home Bargains is 1 min walk. Waitrose has the 2m queue outside (though the last few times I've been there's been no one queuing), only 1 person per household allowed in (unless you need assistance to shop), assistants ensuring the till queues are properly distanced, shielding for the till operators, clear face shields for the 'floor' assistants, most of the customers - many masked - doing the '2m dance' - though no one way system thank goodness as half the things I want aren't there so I have to find substitutes. But no masks or shields for sale. Home Bargains - outside queue but I really don't think the line markings are 2m apart though I haven't taken a measuring stick with me, entire families going in together, very few wearing masks, not much '2m dancing', perspex shields at the tills but none of the staff on the floor wearing masks. Lots of variations of mask packs and shields and 57 varieties of hand-sanitizer for sale. Never been skiing. Have laughed at friends trying langlauf and ending up head first in snow drifts.

Hey UKMT I've been leveling my garden and covering it in an evening. It's properly poo poo and in this thread, but I'm at a time. I'm starting to come shortly after the horse has bolted.. brb, invading France to bring lunch from home but the potential mouth-burn risk is sky high. Sorry, they're all bloodthirsty goons hell-bent on shooting anyone they can dump collections of photos and videos on the other. Not bad for a recession-busting feed..

I think you'd benefit by reading more Marxist stuff because they do go into the various class structures and their economies before capitalism and the role money and markets played in them. In short the ruling classes had non-market ways of extracting surpluses from the exploited class so markets were filled with things the traders had gotten left over from what they made themselves or were selling things to get money to buy other things rather than to make profits. Professional traders were travellers because the only way they could make extra money consistently from trading was taking things to where they weren't normally made. Usury existed but the money lenders were never respected even if they were rich and often had pretty dangerous existances. Money (meaning gold) existed because it was universally accepted so when groups from well outside the usual class relationship came on the scene they could have something to trade in rather than wasting time bartering goods. The market economy didn't exist, even though markets did, which is why there's economic strands like market socialism because the problem is private property and capitalism not the act money exchanged for goods. I'm not a market socialist but I see what they're getting at.

Darth Walrus posted:I mean, stealing the chair of the intelligence committee like that is a pretty neat feat, provided Lewis gets to keep his job. That's an interesting one, because CUK established the precedent that if you leave a party you lose your committee seat, and the wording here does suggest they've actually chucked him out of the party rather than just withdrawn the whip.
