Homeless Friend posted:It wasn't an ask lol. On one hand they irrevocably tainted it with cynicism in their handling of it and on the other informed us of how little they think of us. It pwns, I love goons so much. well it's an unfortunate situation all around. somehow i imagine that "please don't call me a pedophile" would not have the desired result in most cases in C-SPAM or another rules-light forum, however, especially not after you've just probated someone's friend for using the wrong language

It's old!" Now you have two different explanations from the same people. Except one is post-hoc and from a, now, untrusted party because of their behavior and the fact that they lied by omission if we take them on face value. What I'm saying is we need to get mods into communication classes asap lol.

very relevant considering Marxism's problems in real world implementations. medicalizations are useful, but problematic, metaphors

Personally if I was extremely sensitive to jokes where I'm associated by extension with pedophilia, I would not be part of the group with a long history of members turning out to be pedophiles, nazis, nazi pedophiles, and so on.

apropos to nothing posted:lol this is it for me. idgaf about r word, from the start only complained cause of the arbitrary enforcement of rules which 100% were always meted out against posting enemies and ignored by others, applied to the whole "mods are pedophiles" thing too and basically everything in the history of the website. its totally absurd that words like "oval office" are banned in the joke politics forum on a website where 9/11 set to yakety sax was its most significant contribution to the world. i shant post in cspam again because the mods are idiots who punish people for saying oval office and it may be revealed at a later date that some of them have committed crimes of a sexual nature. i shall stick to the pink forum and laugh at you all assuming that i am not banned for this post given the ruling that it is illegal to laugh at the mods now. please organize people around you and at your workplace and dont post online all day about "leftist" politics because it will rot your brain and you will never change anything or organize anyone. if apropros held on for just a few more hours they wouldn't have missed out on this primo content godspeed to the one good Trotskyist

lumpentroll posted:like what his conception of labor power and the underlying structure of the relationship wage workers have with employers for one thing, like, how a boss doesn't hire you on to "be productive" to some fixed degree for 8 hours or to fulfill some minimum amount of work, but rather they hire on your potential productivity for an 8-hour period of time, and try to maximize what they extract from you in that time. it's especially stark these days if you've ever worked in a fast paced phones or CS environment with metrics, and had to have "calibration" meetings with a supervisor because one aspect of your performance was a half point off, while you're doubling and tripling up employees in other ways, the fact that you're bringing in a multiple of value over another employee doesn't mean poo poo to them, nor to you, w/r/t recompense or benefits, just hey fix this stat that's out of line or get fired gently caress-o. i remember explaining labor power and how that relationship works to someone on their own lil path to radicalizing and it was super intuitive to them

i like this gramsci quote Economy and ideology. The claim (presented as an essential postulate of historical materialism) that every fluctuation of politics and ideology can be presented and expounded as an immediate expression of the structure, must be contested in theory as primitive infantilism, and combated in practice with the authentic testimony of Marx, the author of concrete political and historical works.

It's really funny that Flavius has once again proved why I find the rules they keep adding so objectionable. You're telling us you guys are trying to fight ableism and toxic language, and you don't even know what words are ableist. Are you loving serious with this poo poo lol.

The mod(s?) turning low-key anti-communist is a fun piece of evidence for my theory that the obsession with "fyad" and "slurs" among some of the dimmer cspam posters bears more than a passing resemblance to the judeo Bolshevik conspiracy theory in structure and function Not serious at all, just something funny to think about

I'm not smarxists but what smarxist describes is a big part of Marx's Capital vol 1. You can pair that with David Harvey's Companion to Marx's Capital, either in book or free podcast form. There are audiobook versions of the Marx, too. The less you enjoy Capital, the more you can lean on the Harvey, but the first volume of Capital is really fun once you kinda get past the first few chapters and you get into it and notice what a troll Marx is. (I find volumes 2 and 3 much much more difficult.) The Harvey is useful for (a) providing some of the background context, and (b) then linking things to the present like smarxist did in their post. be careful with summaries lol     although here is a giant one page summary from a communist https://twitter.com/TomFrome/status/1287973768049065984?s=20

Larry Parrish posted:Have you guys noticed that every mod posts on the same obnoxious nerd tone of voice. I remember Video Games not posting like that until they got tapped to mod Games and suddenly always used their shift key and also never posted in imp zone again. So the only question is, do they only make sex criminals mods or is that tendency downloaded in with the whiny loser grammar package. Dongicus posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjH1wCx6Zos Lol!

indigi posted:can you just listen to Harvey without reading capital. I don’t want to read capital Yeah, probably. There are other podcasts that do overviews with framing themselves as a "companion" like the Harvey does: The Fundamentals of Marxism: Intro to Political Economy The Fundamentals of Marxism: Dialectics, Historical Materialism, and Class Struggle

DirtyRobot posted:Yeah, probably. Is Harvey’s companion to capital readable by itself? I haven’t read capital in decades and I was thinking about reading it again, but if Harvey’s book is essentially just capital updated in 21st language/context, then should I just read that alone?
