A quick note on the video @ >>>/leftypol/1538283
Also [vid related] for archival purposes

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Cantillon:
<All these artisans and entrepreneurs serve each other, as well as the nobility. The fact that their upkeep ultimately falls on property owners and nobles is often overlooked. It is not perceived that all the little houses in a city, such as we have described, depend upon and subsist at the expense of the great houses. However, it will be shown later that all the classes and inhabitants of a state live at the expense of the property owners.
Yeah right.

If there are an infinite number of natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and… then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities, and… (infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and…) continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and…..(…)…

Not necessarily. Infinity could exist if modal realism is true.

>Tao can be talked about, but not the Eternal Tao.
>Names can be named, but not the Eternal Name.

The most fundamental thing that the human mind can conceive of is the duality, the distinction between two discrete things, e.g. zero and one, existence and non-existence, is and is not. Somewhere between "is" and "is not" is one fundamental absolute truth that is infinite and omnipresent and immutable and unknowable and can never be described or understood, it is the line that you can get closer to but you can never touch.

They may not have had writing but what they had was way more unique and fascinating. Again though we don't understand how the quipu work because colonizers intentionally destroyed the knowledge.

>>25163

>>25166
i knew about the quipu and while i also think they're interesting and unique as well i'm not holding out hope for them to contain stuff like novels, poetry or theological treatises the way a written book could.
iirc besides numerical information, which would still be very illuminating, they held stuff like genealogies and some simple historical information like conquests.

Why isn't this being talked about? Grover Furr is back at it again with a new surgical dismantling of the Anti-Stalin Paradigm. With newfound clearcut evidence, the lifelong Trotskyite Khristian Rakovsky is revealed to be a spy for Imperial Japan, with the enthusiastic support of Mr. Davidovich Trotsky himself.
>This study concludes that, on the evidence, there can be no doubt of Rakovsky’s guilt in serving as Trotsky’s agent in Japan and in espionage for Japan against the Soviet Union, and no doubt of Trotsky’s guilt as well. It also examines statements by Trotsky that he could only have made if he knew about Rakovsky’s recruitment by Japanese leaders as a Trotskyite spy.
Thus the Moscow Trials, dismissed without any evidence, are only given further support when honestly analyzed.

Meanwhile: What do our "Left" publishers like Verso push? Apologist slop! Shame on Verso.

The american chauvinists here look down on Furr.

>trotsky japanese spy
damn so trostky was anti imperialist multipolarista in the end, i officially apologize to the fourth inyernational

Furr's autistic dedication to digging through the archives and deboonking Cold War lies is impressive

Christian Rakovsky was indeed a spy. A spy of international jewish cabal. Read Red Symphony

"The Juche idea is a man-centered world outlook. It is a revolutionary, scientific, and political theory that accurately illumines the way for realizing the independence of the masses." - Kim Jong Il

People,let's make a good thread about the political ideology of Democratic People's Republic of Korea - Juche.

North Korea honestly is a bastardization of socialism, surely they aren't capitalistic and do use some socialist policy, but they mixed some kind of hardcore cult of personality with a form of monarchy, it's a bizarre country, not a good example of a socialist country to follow honestly.

>>24813
Not really
For example the Kim's are fat because they are of good hard-working peasant stock, yes yes aristocrats are awful PMCs and we all think like this, pray the clankers can replace us with great expediency, it's the same thing and at least you can tune it on topics you know back to front to be mostly correct, although there's always a lot of critical reviewing and analysis through the lens of the tools' mechanism

In short, going by the video from this chinese scholar Juche makes perfect sense

Any works on NEETs?

I guess disability stuff like "Empire of Normality" and "Health Communism" is semi-relevant. Also some stuff on the lumpen such as by the Black Panthers.

So TBH I think a lot of the labor aristocracy holds pretty detestable views wrt the demoralized and slum proletariat. Also blaming fascism on jobless schizos is just retarded as reactionary as they may be at times. Fascism is a top-down deployment of the armed forces of the bourgeoisie. Reactionary NEETs and incels are beside the point.

The whole system is just a smokescreen for roundabout eugenics which maintain an aesthetic veneer of plausible deniability via the repressive instrument of it all being 'inadvertent', when it is nothing other than direct barbarism in actuality. Functionally speaking, what happens to you if you stop working and can't qualify for disability? You lose everything. You become homeless. A homeless man is BELOW the law, a homeless man is subject to any degree of chaos conceivable, a homeless man is subject to the imminent fatalism of his own hunger, a homeless man is nothing more than a statistic when he inevitably dies, whether to starvation, drug addiction, or violence. The implicit and invisible more of our so-called 'civilized' society is best summarized as a loosh farm. You work, or you die. In this sense, the irony behind every plastic, smiling face, is that a skull encompasses the substance of it all. So, if a society doesn't actually care about your humanity, only 'values' you insofar as you provide reciprocal utility, the best question is to ask why you shouldn't submit to spite. Why care about what doesn't care about you? It can't be won over. It's an impersonal, deliberately alienated death-machine, solely and exclusively concerned with efficiency upon the altar of your energy. Why give it back? Society 'raises' you with its 'warmth' only contingently; the second you deviate from its prefiguration, you'll be thrown to the wolves. This is the farthest thing from real love. So fuck you and fuck the world along with it, might as well embrace spite. Might as well say: If noone really cares about me in the end, I will feel no guilt when I exploit this callousness, I won't care right back, because it's not as though my own care and input into the system actually rectifies anything, it just subjugates itself, like an enslaved minstrel.

TL;DR: They don't care about you. They don't even see you as human, really. So don't give them any respect. Do the exact thing they can't help but DESPISE: LEECH FROM THEM. Fuck them.

>>25176
And fuck the world they've built, too. A world built off a mountain of suffering that can only ever praise you for the service you provide. Permanent slavery is the ethos of modernity. Worthless and atomized away from every least kernel of humanity, and yet I'm supposed to feel bad if I scam a welfare cheque from the very same government which regularly spends billions of dollars bombing innocent people? I am 1/100000000th the 'parasite' these disgusting demonic faggots are, and I will always be. It is virtuous not to opt into the most detestable system ever known to mankind. It is mentally ill to 'succeed' within it. Every shiny palace is deserving of nothing other than resentment, until it finally gains some fucking empathy.

I have recently started an economics degree but haven’t studied maths since high school, are there any good resources for improving my maths abilities/knowledge? Ideally if its econ related

(Yes i know theres a maths thread but that seems far more advanced than what i need)

If you're lucky enough to still have your textbooks it might be worth revisiting them



 

Holy shit if you actually read these guys they're straight-up ancaps and fascists. They're all small-government nationalists obsessed with life, liberty and private property. They already do the whole Schmittian state of exception thing with the state of war. And they're okay with slavery as long as its against the ignorant or its a state of war. Basically, the worst kind of dark satanic mill shit. Like Mill wants to freely sell alcohol and then put drunkards in labor camps. Nietzsche and nihilism are irrelevant, the fascists are straight-up copies of Locke and Mill. And to be honest, the Liberals do that really long-winded and dull prose that fascists do as well.

- "Two Treatises of Government" by John Locke https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/john-locke/two-treatises-of-government
- "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/john-stuart-mill/on-liberty

Yup, and that's basically all humans are capable of. The idea that it could be different was only ever believed by the lower classes, because they needed to believe such things were possible if their lives were to be anything other than a living Hell. We have now proven that no such thing is possible, precisely because any time such an idea would be proven viable, it must be terminated on sight.

Any anons here know how it is to study marxism/polsci in China? May be personal stories or just general articles on it. I heard it is quite interesting but can vary much.

You will be unemployed anyways so why would one study some shitty engineering course just to hope you will get hired to construct missles to kill children in the middle east. Better to be unemployed and at least know that you are the most communist of all communists.

If you are going to China why not just study engineering in China?

>most communist of all communists
>"marxism" degree program in china
he doesn't know
