+1 you’re not my real dad!

All states have a monopoly on violence, if they don’t, you are living in a failed state. Farm subsidies are bad, but they aren’t collective as you don’t own any of it. You could absolutely do something about the issues you see with capitalism. We live in a representative democracy. People run for office all the time.

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…

Eh, either way, I’d be paying close to 50% of my income in the UK, add up my insurance, deductible, federal tax, and state tax, and I still pay less.

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?

It isn’t unique to the West, but that was the reason in the West. In other cultures, the issue is related to other ideologies. Whether or not the Romans and Greeks allowed gay relationships was a function of their former polytheism and the church not having enough power. Follow the history of the church in the West…

“The violence of capitalism breeds an identity crisis, and a subsequent emptiness and isolation, that can lead to physical violence. We’re all at risk, refusing to challenge the rules and upend the system.”

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…

Why? Are capitalist not allowed to read the literature on communism? Or speak to the victims of it?

I don’t know. Cuba had a pretty good plan. They just rounded them up and put them in concentration camps because clearly being gay is a symbol of western decadence. You can’t feel isolated when you are surrounded by your identity! /s

That only works if they share their tax bill and we figure out who actually takes home more money.

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.

No, communists aren’t the only ones, they just do it a lot more and in worse manners (as killing your own people is objectively worse than killing other people during a war). 

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…

People shilling Marx should trigger everyone. It is the deadliest ideology of the 20th century.

This is a fantastic Marxist critique, meaning your critique of Marxism, not the authors critique of the show.

I’m confused. So black people you don’t agree with are anti-black? Or is there a possibility they don’t hate black people, but just think there is a different/better way to achieve?

He grew up practicing as a kid and no longer does. Maybe know more before you type. Which means he actually did exactly what I suggested.

Without force, threats, or violence, how does one give a blowjob without consent? Asking someone to do something, then they do that thing, when you have zero leverage or threat, has no other description, but consent.
