the st. Petersburg defence: what I did wasn't a crime because I define the word 'crime' as acts committed by capitalists

To be fair to people who try and define imperialism, I bet they never thought in their wildest dreams that some empire would be so brazen as to pack up an entire country's industry and ship it off by train.

The goal of creating a utopia is in fact..

*researches diligently. Late nights in the library and long hours spent interviewing experts in multiple fields.*

Very good!

Who cares about utopia, sounds boring tbh. Gotta keep at least a bit of struggle in there to keep things spicy.

He's not advocating the creation of a utopia, he is saying that there will be an improvement. Do you believe that a society better than the current one must necessarily be a utopia?

The goal of utopia sorta implies there is such a thing. Maybe the problem I have with it is that utopia means a different thing to every person. Just have a straight cut out description sounds better (i.e. no starvin yada yada), which will end up continually revised than talking about utopia as a goal from the gate.

Much as always, nuance is impossible when talking about formerly communist administrated countries. It is much better to talk past each other with maximum snark and good dose of of moral superiority.

Capitalism works so great it's fundamentally unsustainable, and threatens to doom global civilization.

Socialism doesn't exactly have a sterling record on the same counts either tbh.

In The Culture series, anybody can transition their sex with no side effects, genitals are genetically engineered to realize unimagined pleasures, and incest is no longer taboo thanks to full control of genetic reproduction.

But vore is frowned upon. Sorry. It was a big plot point in the first book that vore is bad.

the op of that thread is complaining about how the PSL or whatever is disconnected from labor and only appeals to weird subculturists and then proceeds to write a billion pages about all the little maoist and ML parties that they know about and what problems they have and why. "wonder why we cant connect with normal workers" asks dude writing 10 page polemic about the red guards on an obscure spinoff politics forum

The part about people freaking out about trump launching cruise missiles and ww3 starting was lol as gently caress, honestly i couldn't read it all. It just all seemed like the punishment of some level of hell.

Can we discuss the concept of intellectual labor in more detail?

Let’s dissect the phrase

The slaves built America

I’ve had a response that said no they were the labor force but someone has to comcepualize those plantations or someone had to plan those railroads

Because the slave mentality waits for instructions but great entrepreneurs create. The entrepreneur is the builder

labor is an instrument for great minds

It sounded like randian nonsense but I think it deserves a response

The idea here that there were no skilled slaves responsible for plantation organization is lol, also lol at whatever the hell slave mentality means.

That's why southern whites were terrified of the enfranchisement of former slaves. Their slave mentality wasn't suited to governance!
