By the way I don't disagree that a lot of the soul of top level football went out a long time ago. The internationalization of the PL and then La Liga etc. killed off that relationship with the local fans. I still think the ESL is a fucking disgrace though. As are the latest proposed changes to the Champions League.

Nah, I think the reaction is appropriate, who the fuck wants to watch a league where Arsenal and Spurs manage 2 points apiece every season (the draw against each other). I also think it's somewhat hilarious that Spurs consider themselves part of an elite league, having last won England's top flight league some 60 years ago and the UEFA Cup (Europa League) almost 40 years ago. We have been pretty shit the last 8 seasons, but we've at least managed a bit of silverware here and there. Even the fucking scouse have dragged themselves to relevance.

I'd love to read the article, but apparently the capitalists over at qz have exploited the labour of the author and are selling her words for surplus value.

I mean, apparently she hasn't read anything else related to governing ever in her life, so don't know why she'd start now.

There are some who think Marx didn't go far enough: https://endofcapitalism.com/2010/10/29/why-marxism-has-failed-and-why-zombie-marxism-cannot-die-part-1/ https://endofcapitalism.com/2010/11/04/zombie-marxism-part-2-what-marx-got-right/ https://endofcapitalism.com/2011/09/19/zombie-marxism-part-3-1-what-marx-got-wrong-linear-march-of-history/ Also Zeff I refuse to answer until you learn how to use paragraphs.

There was (probably still is) a very popular scam a couple of years ago where people promised 10btc in return for donating 1. It was often tied to some “initiative” by Elon musk.

If Elon Musk promises you 10 BTC for every 1 you send to him, don't believe it.

All Marx related posts will be moved here. From last night's debacle of breaking a rolling lol (mea culpa): Lol that’s not what it’s about at all. But good job in not reading Marx. Now Marx goes on to describe the horrible working conditions, and they were, but regulation and enforcement improved those working conditions (Marx also makes a lot of assumptions that show correlation but not necessarily causation). And, as Solow shows in his seminal paper, technology has such a huge impact on the aggregate production function that it doubles or more GNP per worker. This of course results in more revenue, meaning more tax (in well managed countries), meaning more social services, infrastructure investment etc etc. As well, as study after study shows (see appendices), technology increases wages both for low skill and high skill workers. It may or may not increase inequality, but that is often a function of between plant differentials, regulation and social determinism more than a strict correlation with technology. Indeed, Marx himself confirms that technology and the people skilled enough to use it, results in an increase in wages: So really the question is, as you so pithily put it, why do you hate the proletariat? You would see technological progress be removed from the workplace because in the short term it may cause some displacement? In fact, you can ironically see the result in China, where because of the demand for their technological prowess, wages have increased (a large part of the rise in China’s economy). There are of course pitfalls, and when the US and UK turned in the 80s to profit maximization, and the culture of greed arose, regulations that had limited widening inequality, removed corporate tax revenue, and diminished government expenditures on infrastructure and social services were introduced to deleterious effect. However, in many other countries, technological advancement has led to rising prosperity and increased social living standards. Of course the issue is that Americans tend to think their experiences with capitalism are universal, when that really isn’t the case at all.

You would think that enough people have seen Narcos/Sicario/Other cartel porn to know that targeting a cartel stash house is never a good idea.

Exactly - no one should have to put up with it. I only asked because I often see Marxists glorifying labour when they've never done it. Edit: me English good write.

How does the World view Burundi these days?

I just wanted to say that you should read "Shake Hands with the Devil" by Romeo Dallaire. It's a touch on the depressing side though. -
Yeah every once in a while sounds pretty alright compared to building roof trusses, or running HVAC every day. Or even doing home renovations for a living. There's a reason I got my masters and got out of "trades". That shit should be automated first, cause no one should have t put up with that BS. Sadly, due to the manual dexterity needed, it'll be the last sort of stuff to be automated (not building roof trusses, that could be automated easily). They used computers to hack the election? Fuck I thought they were using carrier pigeons, no wonder there was no evidence...

Praxis should be on there.

Zeff, have you ever worked a day of manual labour in your life? Running CAT5 cable doesn’t count.

Great so we are in agreement that luddites practiced machine smashing as crude efforts to slow progress.
