open24hours posted:FTAs are free trade as a concept are very different things. Conflating them isn't helpful. Removing barriers to capital while maintaining barriers to workers gives another major piece of power to capitalists. How are you this bad? open24hours posted:The kind of free trade promoted by neoliberalism is a specific form of trade. There are plenty of arguments for free trade that can be made from a socialist or other non-neoliberal perspective. Market socialism is capitalism and needs to be destroyed.

Well it doesn't, so why bother defending the practice as if it didn't contribute to the weakening of worker's rights and calling criticism of it racist?

Endman posted:Also important to note that markets and the means of production are distinct from each other and even if the latter is commonly owned, markets would probably still be necessary for the distribution of commodities without a massive bureaucracy. Bureaucracy is better than a market. The production and exchange of commodities is a fundamental part of capitalism.

Endman posted:The production and exchange of commodities is a fundamental part of any economic system, capitalist or otherwise. What defines capitalism is private ownership of the means of production. No it's not. Unless you're discounting communism as an economic system. And private ownership of the MoP is too broad a definition. Feudalism and Mercantilism had private ownership of the MoP, as did Classical economies. It's the extraction of surplus value that defines capitalism. Why though? A market means you have to keep wage labour. You'd be better off having a very flexible rationing system of luxury goods.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Not all labor mps support it with maybe 3 or 4 pretty uncommitted. All the crossbenchers but katter support ssm though. I think I worked it out based on alp members who have confirmed in favour and it's 6 or 7 libs/nats needed if I recall correctly. Not if Labor whip over it, why would Labor allow a conscience vote if Yes wins?

Burn Down Canberra posted:That is the party position ? That said I believe Chris Hayes wrote that he would respect the result of the plebiscite so they might vote yes. It will easily pass if the plebiscite wins. Just maybe not every labor MP will vote in favour of it. No idea, but even the most *checks notes*-y position would be 'go with what the majority of people want.'

When I asked why he believed/converted, he told me that he knew a mentally challenged kid who always gave the correct answer to questions despite not having any logical reason for him knowing the correct answer. When asked about the existence of God, he said yes. Oh yeah, that's the pressing question and not asking how to create a time machine. loving no imagination.

Snowman_McK posted:While we're on this, gay rights keeps getting called social marxism on the net, what's that about? Social Marxism or 'cultural marxism'? Because if the latter it's an anti-semitic conspiracy theory that says political correctness is part of a global Jewish conspiracy born of the work of Jewish Marxist academics who fled to the US from Nazi Germany. The theory goes that seeing armed revolutions fail in 1st world nations they hypothesised they needed to destroy the strong social and cultural heritage of the west which was causing false consciousness in Western proles. Cue the rise of the New Left and 60s counter cultural movements to pave the way for Global Judaeo-Bolshevist conquest. It's all bullshit of course, but here's the ABC's very own former Political Editor Chris Uhlmann uncritically parroting it. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...4cb526470260601 e:Beaten like a true blue patriot attempting to have his sincere and heartfelt beliefs on traditional marriage heard.

A friend of mine had a UV lead organiser yell at him after working nearly seventy hours for a pittance and tell him if he didn't like it to leave, then justified berating staff with how hard their members have it. Thanks!
