Genuinely revolting to read, caping for genocide is fucking disgusting, and it wasn't even debatable pre-Oct 7th. We now see genocide happening in real time, and she capes for it.

Hey everyone, it's time to come discuss Capital again!

Falling a bit behind, will catch up next week hopefully. One thing that is abundantly clear so far, however, is that Volume 2 concerns production as an ever-expanding process, not just something done statically, and this is what is fundamentally necessary about Volume 2. Looking at capital as value in motion deepens our knowledge of capitalism as a moving system, it's the core of Dialectical Materialism in analysis.

Also - not arguing with every liberal with a bad take.

Couldn't be me, haha...

Lee Jae-Myeung may be a SocDem lib, but is seeking some degree of normalization with the DPRK along the lines of a return to the Sunshine Policy, and is pivoting away from Japan and the USA and towards the PRC. He's stil a SocDem lib, he's not suddenly rejecting the US or anything, but the writing is on the wall even for SocDems, the US is losing its influence in the region.

And yes, de-nuclearization isn't going to happen, but increased cooperation and trade like previously existed very well may. Lee stopped the ROK's border broadcasts, and the DPRK also stopped its broadcasts that same day, signaling reciprocity. Especially considering Lee wants to maintain US presense and millitary ties, there will never be a full "one country, two systems" approach with that in place either, but it pivots a shift towards Moon's approach rather than Yoon's.

Basically, Lee may be a SocDem lib, but the kind that likely can't respond to tariffs with austerity. Yoon threw the country into crisis with austerity already, if they push for more austerity Lee's presidency is toast. If anything, I see him pushing towards increased trade with the PRC to make up for it, building off of the push for trilateral cooperation between the ROK, PRC, and Japan from earlier this year.

The lazy bourgeois economist's "takedown" of Marxism inevitably rests on dodging the arguments, because if you take Marxism dead-on they get bodied.

Lmao

Also, mandatory "fuck JK Rowling."

Don't forget MCPC'M'

Wait a sec

M CPC 'M' ?! Is Marx an agent of the Communist Party of China?!

Mega mega mega THREAD

Peak idealism.

Thanks, I appreciate it! People have thanked me directly for helping them and cited me as one of the reasons why they came around to accepting more Marxist viewpoints, which has helped a lot in motivating me. I do tend to take breaks, though, depending on what I've got going on IRL or if I just need a good break from being so online. I appreciate the kind words!

I'd argue especially Orwell.

No problem!

Just figured I'd leave 2 good essays going over some of why Leftists tend to be critical of Orwell, rather than just dropping it at that, in case you're interested:

1. On Orwell
2. A Critical Read of Animal Farm

100%.

Yep, it seems like they don't respect anyone who disagrees with them, so they think it's fine to be entirely dishonest.

Yep, they never seemed to engage with any of what FunkyStuff was telling them, just resorting to redditor-tier insults. Deeply unserious.
