Obviously he is free to live his life as he pleases, but personally I miss curvy Jim Rash to current “ripped like Ronda Rousey” Jim Rash.

Engels was the unsuccessful son of an industrialist. Of course it is jealousy, with a mix of fuck you dad.

All acquisition of territory isn’t a capitalist endeavor. See the Soviet Bloc states controlled by Communist Russia. Even Germany’s militarism it was for the acquisition of wealth, fascism isn’t capitalism. Whether or not they wanted to land grab for exploitation, the land grab was done by fascists and fascism isn’t…

Which workers? The ones who starved to death with ridiculous five year plans? Or the ones who had to live on rations because the economy couldn’t generate enough wealth for people to be able to buy the shit they need.

WW1 wasn’t about capitalism. In fact, it disrupted the huge capitalist successes of the continent. It started because an anarchist from Serbia shot Franz Ferdinand with the support of the Serbian state (state sponsored terrorism). A series of alliances forced the remaining countries to join after Austria Hungary…

My thoughts exactly. Thank you for taking the hit on this one. Hackneyed, poorly backed, elementary Marxist drivel that could have been removed entirely without sacrificing the meaning of the review is silly and painful to read for anyone with a high school education.

I wouldn’t be that derisive.

The LGBT spin gives it an exceptional if not unique variety of lunacy.

Communists have great disdain for the working class, they just hate the rich even more. What could you expect from the underperforming sons of industrialists?

“Person insinuates their way into the cultural elite via lies and seduction” was a well-known story long before Adam Smith was even born. This show is a criticism of capitalism only insofar as it takes place in a capitalist country.

It’s the clear and obvious end result of trying to institute Marxism. The fact that you don’t realize this is what triggers people when idiots try to retread Marx. It’s impossible to appropriate wealth without authoritarianism. It’s impossible to institute collective policies on an entire society without…

The lion king is so like [greek tragedy]. Seriously, listen to me list the ways (aren’t I clever?)!

My favorite part was how society wanted to punish him for his sexuality - economically! As if his orientation wasn’t the only thing that allowed him to get anywhere near Versace.

Has the author ever been to any major American city? Even years before gays were offered both protection and EOE favoritism there were entire…

Not that many total numbers for a communist (a couple mil), but per capita, a quarter of the population. To fair, some of those fucks were bourgeois enough to wear glasses. Obviously being able to see is done for the sole purpose of oppressing the proletariat.

Well, thank you. I’m overreacting because everywhere I go, some young ‘un is trumpeting Marx. There is some good criticism in Marx and Hegel. I had to write papers on how the dialectic influenced Eisenstein’s theory on film editing. It was fun and easy. But I was never taught about the gulags in high school or…

Not really. Marxist critiques rely on a single variable, oppression. There is almost no thought involved in applying a Marxist critique of anything. You figure out who is doing better, realize that doing better under a Marxist lens means you must be oppressing someone (because Marx conveniently forgot about the idea…

Aziz Ansari once took me on a date to Applebees. #metoo

Between Wilfred and Dirk Gently, it’s almost *weird* that Arthur here isn’t played by Elijah Wood

No Saul? We better call him!

I mean, I guess the concept of time is kind of meaningless in the afterlife (except as a drug) but... what year is it even there anymore?

She was playing the long game, that’s for sure.
