What I meant was that if we didn’t have it to start with, things would’ve likely still developed albeit much more slowly.
I dont think we will ever know, but Im not sure I agree. I dont know what the landscape would look like without relying on open source and patent theft. A lot of the stuff would probably not be financially viable.
I work in software development. Almost all modern architecture would collapse without the open source ecosystem.
:gulp:
I have no formal training in philosophy maybe I need to read less philosophy if philosophy undergrads aren’t being exposed to it
suppose you could make an argument that a non-communist dialectical materialist is also a Marxist
That’s my argument
though I’ve never seen it used that way in practice.
Sometimes capitalists spout marxist shit and it is recorded. Marxist capitalists are the worst because they have an understanding of the contradictions their counterparts dont. More commonly there are non communist Marxists in philosophy.
I agree that almost all Marxists are communists, I just felt your initial response was a simplification that lost more meaning in the simplification than it necessarily needed to.
No, marxism is a lense through which to analyze capitalism. It isnt communist by itself, although marx was a communist.
Also without open source the capitalist tech sector would collapse
Yes, people who unironically support Leninism, Stalinism and Maoism are supporters of autocratic, and in many cases tyrannical politics. These are first principles for the vast majority of people who study politics, all over the world.
Most socialists in the world are some type of ml or maoist. Yes, I bet they teach in capitalist schools all over the world that the enemies of capitalism are some kind of monsters. But people actually exposed to socialism in practice seem to think much differently. The CPC has a 95 percent approval rating according to international pollsters. But Im guessing you know better than 1.3 billion Chinese folks about their government.
Really, the only thing which is confusing to me is why anyone who espouses egalitarian and queer friendly principles would associate with people who actively promote a global alliance of countries who would exterminate them.
Ah yes, the GDR and Cuba, well noted for their exterminationist policies.
Socialist countries have a better track record with trans issues than capitalist countries at similar levels of wealth. Socialist countries also don’t create far right death squads all over the world that just happen to also exterminate queer folks. There is a reason why so many maoists in the Philippines are queer.
Yeah buddy, I’m not your monkey.
I’m sure you can definitely answer it, mhmm. Very believable.
autocracy doesn’t do jack shit to resolve exploitation via labor alienation and commodification, I’m here for it.
This demonstrates a lack of basic knowledge of theory as well as data on how AES have developed their workplaces.
But who knows, might be wrong. What did you read that lead you to this conclusion?
Or if you want to go over why the complete lack of actionable framework for curating the political agency of the individual is, in fact, one of the most glaring and widely discussed holes in Marxist orthodoxy
Who is an orthodox marxist though? Also, youre going to have to define individual agency if you dont think AES states don’t cultivate it.
But if you are just going to be another smug sectarian
Literally in a left unity instance, you’re the one claiming the vast majority of socialists throughout the world are bad when you claim they’re all autocratic.
Okay, so you would be willing to explain some basic marxist ideas to the viewer then?
Great!
How do fixed capital, ttotroptf, and the primary mode of worker alienation under capital intersect?(As described by Marx and not successfully criticized up to the present day) This has multiple answers and one of them can be a one word answer.
That out of the way, on a personal note;
I work on two different grassroots campaigns because a nearby hospital is closing and the lead pipes are poisoning the community’s children. I am heading up internal reorganization to make my org safer, and am donating most of my salary from my bullshit job that lets me post and organize for most of the day to socialist orgs, while surviving as a multiracial trans woman in a rural area of a deep red state. I’m currently reading socialist and anarchist texts written in the last 5 years, on hiatus from reading a book about the soviet dual monetary system because it is machine translated from Russian and is a slog.
I have more respect for the least educated hexbear slacktivists than I do for anti-communist “socialists” like yourself.
Log the fuck off and start from the basics again, because you’ve obviously misunderstood them based on all the dogshit takes I’ve seen from you. All the anarcho syndies I know who actually do shit would not get along with your sorry ass.
I can’t tell how many layers of irony this is except that it is an odd number
Weren’t you ome of the people we asked a bunch of Marxism 101 questions to without any response?
I’d argue you’re just describing vulgar idealist(as opposed to materialism, not cynicism) philosophy.
