thats the only quote i posted. first you attack me for providing sources on political economy, then you call graeber garbage without justification, by surrogation of a random blogger - then you accuse me of lying because of your own mistake, and now you wont just admit that you have been wrong this whole time. you started wrong and youre ending wrong too. weirdo.

Source, I've heard of this happening under Kim Jong-il a long time ago, but absolutely nothing recent suggests that is what is going on now

>>24792
100% &amazed people still believe hermit kingdom propaganda.

I mean the unicorn thing and all should tell you enough.

Or the books glazing the Kims you can download? Mad shit.

So anyway, today is chapter 6;

I will be back later after reading chapter 5; then 4 as we will be reviewing the chapters backwards for a change

Nota bene: Engel's reference to the artificial in relation to the origin of the gens

>>24767
>The tribes clearly bear the mark of their artificial composition, even though they are generally composed out of related elements and after the pattern of the old tribe, which was not made but grew; it is, however, not an impossibility that the core of each of the three tribes was a genuine old tribe. The intermediate group, the phratry, consisted of ten gentes and was called a curia; there were therefore thirty curiae.

Bringing in a key point from ISG
>5. As climate change progresses and the economy built on previous circumstances disintegrates, their class position and privilege can't be guaranteed by possessing currency, but rather the control of the high tech assets necessary to mitigate the disasters resulting from social and economic collapse brought on by environmental change and mass death.
The problem for them is that this doesn't actually work, any additional machinery/technology, and requires even more machinery and technology to maintain with unproductive labour ad infinitum

To make it more clear

The above paper is science; science is one of the supporting technologies of the fancy technologies the silicon valley lord in his own mind relies on

The problem for our silicon valley thiel types is that due to capitalism our technology is held together by chewing gum, twin and prayers for the most part, an entire scientific machinery of people doing it mostly for free, from the people who wrote this paper, to me the random anon disseminating it here, to you the reader who does their best to grasp it

Historically with science, I prefer to ignore the press releases, and just read the paper; however chat bots can easily churn out sensationalised results in a breathless tone which has raised the bar and the explanation for the layman isn't sensationalised inaccurate slop
https://phys.org/news/2025-08-geometry-physics-feature-deep-neural.html

What I am getting at here, is that simply maintaining the technology of science, which is neccesary for the downstream technology to keep working and keep the billionaires fancy toys going is the collective effort of 8 billion people

Clearly the answer to a lack of Marx is an excess of contrary, inferior, reactionary thinkers. Btw, how many holes does a woman have?

It’s clearly not supposed to be an ‘own,’ you debatebrained retard

Boomps on garbage like this are banworthy almost

If you are Marxism, then I am not a Marxist.

>>24294
Honestly same. For me it's more not knowing where to start, and when there's volumes upon volumes of thick books covering every little niche part of the subject it's hard to know where to start

>>24694
Start with these: >>24296

Youre not a retard! Just start simple and develop your reading skills. I'd recommend starting with "The Principles of Communism" by Engels. It's an easy read

I tought asking someone for details is retarded

Try audio books. It's a slightly different way of processing words and it might be easier for you to understand. You also won't give up as soon because you don't actually have to read all da big woruds.

>episode 2 (prehistory of china)
>recounts creation myth where nobles were molded carefully by hand first and then everyone else was made all together as a rush job
>implies or directly states throughout, in contradiction with now well-supported scientific consensus, that every "stage" of human evolution happened in China, independent of Africa, rather than various hominin species dispersing from Africa throughout human evolution
>implies our pre-hominin ape ancestors lived in China
>claims that Chinese people can trace their ancestry back 2 million years to hominins in China (Wushan "Man")
>says verbatim "Peking Man, ancestor of the Chinese"
>claims among the "ancestors of the Chinese" were the first people to use fire, before any other humans
>gives only a throwaway line at the end about this ancient line interbreeding with the out-of-Africa Homo sapiens who came later
Gotta be honest, I was not prepared for this level of pseudoscientific nationalist mythmaking for something produced this century by the Chinese government.

>that one time a spanish habsburgo emperor wrote in his plan to conquer the chinese empire was to "fuck and outbreed them out of existence with our Spanish, Filipino and Japanese subjects"
>It was actually possible given that the Ming were incompetent and they got rekt by the Manchu with the last Ming emperor hanging himself because he got duped into executing their best general
Even the ~100 million population wouldn't be an issue given South America;
>Our new study clarifies the size of pre-Columbian populations and their impact on their environment. By combining all published estimates from populations throughout the Americas, we find a probable Indigenous population of 60 million in 1492.

yeah its a little wild
