  • Marx made statements about the proletariat without experiencing it or doing field studies

    Every economist has made statements about the proletariat, how could you write any economic work without including the working class?

    But also Marx was around during 1848 and went to Paris in the wake of the Paris Commune, he wasn’t Che or Stalin, but he certainly wasn’t sitting in an ivory tower writing theories without any input from the reality on the ground.

    Marx thought that the most oppressed are the ones most likely to begin a revolution which is wrong

    No, Marx thought the industrial working class were the ones most likely to begin a revolution, as opposed to the farmers who (in france, britain, and germany) were much more atomized due to their means of production, which was accurate to France and Germany, though South America, Russia, China, and Korea all proved that the peasant class had revolutionary potential.

    Marxist framework

    Marx’s framework was examining society from a materialist lens, specifically related to the means of production to understand things, as opposed to idealism; a Marxist historian analyzing the french revolution focuses on the contradiction between the bourgeoisie’s economic power and the aristocracy’s power within the government. A non-marxist focuses on the personalities of individuals involved and the ideas they professed rather than structures. To paraphrase Engels mocking Great Man Theory, it’s a shame Steve Jobs wasn’t born in ancient Egypt, then we could have had iPhones 4,000 years ago.

    When something is labeled marxist feminism, it’s not adding feminism to marxism, it’s applying a marxist analysis to feminism.






  • Even wearing a swastika or flying a Nazi flag doesn’t mean you’re a murderer or that you intend to murder people

    Are you not familiar with the political program of the nazis? The end result of neonazi’s conspiracies is to justify violence against jews and other minorities.

    He literally apologized

    The apology and break failed to remove nazis from his community and failed to educate their defenders on how you’re supposed to deal with nazis.

    Should I follow you around the Internet forever now reminding everyone how you think being violent is a good thing, even after you say you are sorry for it and don’t want to hurt people?

    You are free to tell anyone I speak to that I advocate for punching nazis. But that’s not even what is being argued here, I am saying because he failed to expel nazis from his community and reeducate them after inviting them in, he shouldn’t be given a platform and people who don’t know any better should be reminded that he has failed to correct his mistake beyond some meaningless words.



  • Violence against nazis is good. If you are using your massive platform to normalize nazism, free speech doesn’t apply to you and you should be censored. You don’t beat nazis be engaging with them in the marketplace of ideas.

    This conversation tells me he hasn’t done enough to tell the nazis and their defenders in his audience to fuck off, and without action his apology is worth fuckall.










  • I’ve tried several times over the years, I always run into too many issues before I just give up because USB aren’t recognizing things or it won’t boot or it won’t run some specific software after 2 hours of trying to fix it. My last attempt on a dev laptop in 2022 lasted the longest, Maybe it’ll be sorted out in 2032 though.
