I'm tired and not feeling too hot, think I'm catching the kid's cold. could someone sum up succinctly the results of the gubernatorial, house and senate races and what those results imply for unionization efforts and weed?

so, like, exactly nothing has changed then except michigan is getting better?

while not what I would really have liked, I think this can be considered a triumph for democracy

e: wasn't this how the midterms during obama's first term played out? except the michigan part

we are going to have 2 term joe and a cadaver impeachment

the predictive power of economic systems is a bunch of formulas determining what output you get when given whatever set of variables. marx is no different except the formulas mirror reality. you can calculate how much time is stolen by your boss in a day and you can make good predictions about how much more of your time will be stolen by your boss if the efficiency of job increases, but it's not going to, like, tell you that you should buy bitcoin in 2013 or that the people will rise on october 23rd 2036

He also couldn't predict how telecommunications gave the ruling class the power to surveil and propagandize the masses closely and constantly. That was his biggest failing, and by failing I mean the inability to perfectly envision and predict every meaningful event in the future.

he drew a really clear link between increased efficiency in communication, rail lines and telegraph, and increased effeciency in production. he nailed that telecom would make goods cheaper and shorten the hours of work neccessary to reproduce labor, though he lacked the data points to make a formula out of it. but he definitely laid out what its benefits are and how those benefits could placate labor.

why is the frame in this thread that marxism somehow failed or is wrong? 50% of the world was communist within living memory, latin america's gonna be red p' soon, china's the most powerful country on the planet and vietnam and cuba have proven themselves invincible against overwhelming odds.

communism is down one game in a best of seven championship run and all of capitalism's star players are on injured reserve

I don't have the wherewithal to respond properly today, but just to be clear, I wasn't trying to set that frame at all, I was only talking about the western marxism I have been exposed to and my personal struggle to make predictions with it. :3:


I wasn't really addressing you specifically. but if the length of the working day in prosperous countries is now 8 hours instead of 12 hours and literacy rates and life expectancy and general quality of life stuff is exponentially better than it was 150 years ago and the main motive force behind those improvements is communism, it's weird to me that people want to say "marx underestimated the amount of poo poo people are willing to eat before they fight back"

as far as predicitve powers, if you take a quarterly earning and expense statement from a corporation and plug those numbers into a surplus labor formula, it will tell you down to a second how much time the employees of that company spend working for themselves and how much time they spend working for the man. that's a hidden fact of the world made visible by the application of reason. it's the same as taking a gravitational formula, plugging in masses and distances and having the end result match up with obsereved orbital eccentricities. in the later case the hypothesized invisible force, gravity, is revealed, in the former, the hypothesized invisible force, capiltalistic vampirism, is revealed. predicitve power doesn't really seem like the right term to apply to the process, but in both cases you're doing the same thing

would that have some bearing on the fact that college admissions way disproportionately over represent asian people, presummably as a result of affirmative action laws? or that there's a photo of some astroturfed group of pressumably asian people protesting that affirmative action laws have harmed them?

Asians are overrrepresented in higher education because asians perform disproportionately well on the acceptance criteria of higher education. This is why asian groups have been used as stalking horses to dismantle affirmative action: asian acceptance rates are suppressed by both affirmative action and things like legacy admissions that preference white people.

the other side of that is without affirmative action, all admissions would be of the white people preferencing legacy variety
