Determinism is useful for understanding others, and how to manipulate them. Not great at the individual level but it obviously applies collectively. Helping people understand this helps destroy the myth of individualism and can help lead people out of liberalism

Bullshit jobs exist because bullshit work exists and I get paid too much to have to deal with it. But also the person I hired to deal with it is going to have to be smart so I'll have to pay them a lot of money and that will in turn justify paying me more as their Superior.

I've generally taken to referring to this as a "net effect" because Americans are allergic to class talk and treat it as conspiratiorial

One of the huge problems of liberalism and trying to explain the problems of net effects is that everyone is propagandized to worry about individual intent rather than result.

It like everything else is dialectal and shifts over time. Capital broadly found nuclear families more useful for having workers available and for having more households to whom to sell various appliances. Once was more broadly accepted that women could also be workers, the focus shifts.

The thing about child care facilities is that they are not really communal or communitarian, they are capitalist. You're are alienated from the caregiver and your children are alienated from the other children there.

I don't think you have to understand Marxism to be alienated from others. But I wouldn't know, I haven't read Marx.

Can't believe that bastard alienated all of those workers by inventing Marxism. What a fucker

Capitalists are jailed in our system regularly when they gently caress up and mess with other capitalists.

I have no knowledge of the relative strengths of the pure socialists verse capitalists masquerading within their society composition of the Chinese Communist party however, so I will simply sit here in the middle of the imperial core and enjoy my treats and hope for the best for them

It seems to me these definitions are tedious and esoteric and this guy can't hang on to them long enough to get through to understanding. Which is completely reasonable. eta good shoot tho

You can troll better than "I think someone got something wrong on one the past three pages" and i take your refusal to do so as a personal insult

I want to believe you both but this thing keeps happening where no actual argument is made just alluded to

And also seems to be primarily that the first volume of capital failed to address things discussed in the second volume of capital

It's framed completely stupidly but it sort of halfway understands that efficiency gains are a thing. "But we'll get more efficient" isn't really a counterargument, as we all know.

It seems to think we are going to out-efficiency entropy because our lightbulbs are very small and precisely assembled.

Lol.
