Advanced enough dialectics is indistinguishable from a curse and a blessing.

Yes! It’s so annoying! Saying “USians” sounds weird, but it’s the USians own fault for having a stupidly named country on stolen land.

I’m going to predict the future exactly as it will happen: either the US empire is ended and humanity survives it’s inevitable fall or the empire drags us all down with it in a nuclear fireball. Pick one.

This is a great read! Thank you!

Smith goes into great detail in “The wealth of Nations” about how landlords are parasites. He explains why theoretically and empirically and gives specific examples. He lacked an understanding of historical materialism, so he wrongly thought capitalism would naturally get rid of them.

Vienna, Austria is a classic example. Don’t know about the current situation, though.

No, I think that’s just you.

Geese eat mostly grass though. And seeds. Both on land.

Okay, but how does this relate to the meme about prison population?

Yes, but there are bosses right now. And they would still be very powerful, even if they lost control of the state. They don’t care about what’s best for everyone. They care about what’s best for them. They would still control all those machines, institutions, money, private armies, the media and they would have the total support of all the capitalist militaries of the world, ready to come in and completely crush horizontal power and suppress mutualism. So the class of bosses wouldn’t magically disappear over night.

If people organized (either “horizontally” or otherwise) to form some thing, some kind of organization or institution or loose federation of grassroots cooperatives or whatever you want to call it, that would be able to suppress this boss class and their military and everything. That thing would be what marxist leninists call a state by definition. Because when we talk about a state, we mean nothing more or less than a weapon able to force the will of one class upon another. Even if that will is just:“stop forcing your will on us non-bosses”. How horizontal it is internally dosn’t matter at all for the definition of a state.

Not at all. The Spanish revolutionaries were communists. Some in the communist party, but even the Spanish anarchists called what they fought for “libertarian communism”.

Most time would be spent solving the integrals of the trigonometric functions. Those are the kind, that you either just know, or would typically look up in a table, which is where they were taken from for the meme. Though you could do them by hand using substitution.

It is?

Wow, what an intense emotional reaction to cold hard facts! Please, check your tone. You can find the facts I stated on the very wiki page you linked yourself. Do you doubt them? Why all this anger? Is it because now you had to do extra work providing further context selectively to reestablish the biased framing you had at the beginning? You’re of course free to do so. And I could give more context to remove the bias again. But I won’t bother. Anyone interested can read the articles themselves.

Missing context: 70% of the elected representatives belonged either to the Socialist Revolutionaries or the Bolsheviks. And the former split during the election with the left faction joining the Bolsheviks in a coalition government.

Tell that to Kierkegaard.

When the Western part of the Roman empire fell, nothing really changed in the East. Politics, economy, administration and culture, everything just continued. So why should they suddenly have to change their name, just because some people far away got lazy and messed up?
