Karl Barks posted:has anyone spent the time to go all the way through piketty's capital in the 21st century? I was thinking about picking it up and reading it over my christmas vacation I bought it a couple weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend, who says its pretty good. I also got The Economics of Inequality, which is shorter, so I'm working my way through it first and it's interesting thus far

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The latest research in medieval studies indicates that there was considerable growth among the nobility, clergy, and merchant classes, because serfs got bupkis. In a system where everyone is obligated pay dues to their lord, or tithes to the church, then it's easy to accumulate wealth even in primitive conditions of production. sounds familiar in more ways than one

Karl Barks posted:depends on the type of socialism, they wouldn't be recognizable as they are now most likely tho. i got about five paragraphs into this, and while i can understand it, this poo poo is seriously tiresome to read. there needs to be a jacobin for rednecks or something that just talks to you straight. like there's cool stuff in here but i can't imagine sending this to friends of mine to read

Larry Parrish posted:I like to stick with Marx and consider communism the economic system and anarchism the political system. They're related but not the same. Like the Soviet Union was definitely communist but not very anarchist in any real sense. Somalia is pretty dang anarchist but it's not exactly a Marxist dream either iirc the soviet union had communism as their goal but up to the end still claimed that they were in the middle stages of building socialism

Karl Barks posted:i feel like this is the trap the left gets stuck in all the time - does my opposition to american imperialism necessitate defending governments i would otherwise despise you don't have to defend them. it's not an issue of "we shouldn't go and do an imperialism because they're good" and more "we shouldn't go an do an imperialism because that's not our job"

being a troop is sold to people as a good way to lift yourself out of poverty. i know in highschool i got endless calls from recruiters, as did every other kid in my class. and it often sounds like a loving good way to get out of your lovely conditions and get free college. most of the guys in my class who signed up (and there weren't many) came back a lot more anti-war than when they left

aoc did help widen the overton window, and if nothing else opens the door to even further-left candidates in the future whether or not we have time to wait for future elections is questionable tho

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:fully automated luxury communism? psh the noble savages of the global south would just like some more mud on their huts so they can stay dry after a hard day at the imperialism mines, they definitely dont want or need any automation or luxury it seems that the assertion here is that the global south must be exploited, and that can never change. so we'll just have commie america imperializing abroad to support our luxury lifestyle
