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.

Choosing a language edition

I do not know why we do not have an active language learning thread, so here you go.
If you got other links you think are worthy of being on here, do mention them.

I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published. Has anyone here pursued that path, and if so, what were your experiences?

The Rate of Profit: Rising or Falling?

Recently discovered there is a debate within Marxist economics that Marx had it incorrect, rather than rate of profit falling, due to capitalist technological innovation, cost-cutting and wage stagnation the Rate of Profit will rise, theorized by marxist economist Nobu Okishio.

Your thoughts?

(By the way, feel free to write in Spanish here. I can understand most of the written language. I'm not risking Portuñol or writing in PT, though.)
So, my plans include getting a job with my technical degree (or with a future one perhaps) and picking up linguistics with an initial capital. Don't wanna talk too much about it so I don't fuck up. But afaik they're pretty rare here in Brazil. I was asking the Google AI, but I figured out that talking to actual people would be good. So,
>In what Mercosur countries would be viable to pick up linguistics as a Brazilian?
My only criteria is, the country needs to be fairly progressive (I'm a sexual minority; don't care about representation, just treating us like people would be great), the uni needs to have some relevancy, and it should be cheaper than São Paulo or relatively worth it compared to USP and UFSCAR, both having a linguistics course.
Afaik, Argentina checks all out. If Milei fucks off in the next election in like two years that would be great, because I'll have more time to learn the language and save money, but not if he takes the public universities with him.

Where do I get started with political science?

I've heard a lot about pol-sci but what are the seminal works in the area?

I am particularly interested in work on democratization.
