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.

Currently reading up on Zapata and the history of Mexican revolution. Very nice book. Absolute clusterfuck of a historical period. Feels like a perfect example of how the Russian revolution would have looked like if there was no organized vanguard.

The starting point of the revolution is essentially the same as in Russia: A westernizing tyrant keeps fucking over the peasants and suppressing the bourgeoisie until the country is in such a deadlock that the whole thing blows up. It results in a peasants revolt, but the revolt keep getting swept up by various liberal reformers promising them the land reforms they want, only to inevitably get fucked over one way or the other. They get more radical as time goes on, but theyre so exclusively concerned with agrarian issues that they cannot really sweep up the rest of the population into their revolution. Zapata was a very impressive leader of the movement, and did the best he could, but was clearly not ideologically and strategically up for the task. You can tell he was uncomfortable dealing with any political issue or diplomatic relation outside of the agrarian concerns of his native province in Morelos.

Any good Marxism-Leninist work on intelligence operations? I've read all the Gramsci and Western Marxism shit on cultural hegemony so don't bother me with that. What's the Che Guevara of glowies posting Pepe memes online and feds grooming autists to be mass shooters in Nazi Discord servers? There's plenty of work documenting fucked Gladio type shit but what's the seminal work from our side on agitprop and so on?

Kind of not relevant but I found it interesting how Evgeny Pashukanis in "The General Theory of Law and Marxism" connected law to commodity fetishism. It seems to me that the nature of market exchange is to place oneself as a subject of the law and as a target of control (but not exploitation) as a worker.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/pashukanis/1924/law/index.htm

But yeah to seems to me like that comparatively little has been written about spooky glowie shit from an Eastern/peripheral perspective.

Like what's the Mao Zedong of stochastic terrorism and federal informant sex-trafficker redpill influencers? Who's the Vo Nguyen Giap of bizarre Tumblr pro-ana/pro-self-injury TERF Nazi cults and US AID type nonprofit and recuperation operations? Which revolutionary wrote about all that bizarre Falun Gong type cult shit?



 

How do we arrive to that point? Most courses can be found completely online and free of costs, and they are far better explained than most universities. There must be a way to give equal to everyone.

ok lol

also
>give equal to everyone
equality without aim is a useless goal - equal to what? we're all equally poor compared to the bourgeoisie

>>25287
Sorry I forgot to type the word "opportunities", as in giving a chance to everyone to get a high quality education no matter the social status or the background all around the world. Like you said in your previous post, there must be a tool that is accessible and useful for learning. This, I think, is what it could help first break the barrier at some point. As someone who has some programming skills, I was thinking about creating AI professors or some sort university made of AI, and obviously it's all open-sourced. This may sound like a very stupid idea and no machine could ever replace a good teacher, however I'm thinking more of those people who don't have any means to acquire education.

Information isn't education. It's not enough to just have access to the internet and all of its information, people also need guidance to figure out how to parse and question this infromation otherwise they just become brainwashed stooges who believe and repeat everything they read.

Education needs to b discerned.
Not all academic fields are equally valuable.
The problem with education is that's it's currently anti blue collar/anti worldly an hostile to non-liberal ideas

>>25284
Education should be backed up by real-world application

We should have student going on real world assignments about their career aspiratios



 

All good communists study math.

What are you studying right now? What is your favorite field of mathematics and why?

Personally, I really like the book "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Sheldon Axler. It is on Libgen if you are interested and I attached a pdf.

"I'm the anon who briefly ran a textboard"
as if this is at all relevant to anything other than your narcissism lmao

>le narcissism
no, i mentioned it because i'm not whoever you said was decrying philosophy. if you have something to discuss with them, go back to whatever thread or board you came from instead of shitting up an /edu/ thread ffs

>>25276
You said as much elsewhere under the exact same name, so unless that was someone LARPing as you, you're full of shit. Nice job conversing about the nature of 'being' with your math prof, btw, definitely not the equivalent of trying to discuss calculus with an English professor. Moron.

>>25299
Also, it's particularly funny that you try to coyly dismiss narcissism, i.e. 'le narcissism' as if that pseudo-ironic meandering actually dismisses anything–you ARE a narcissist, which is why you can't seriously bear the brunt of the accusation, in addition to the obvious symptoms you exhibit time and time again. It's funny though, like every narcissist, you will insist upon your delusions to the contrary, so self-absorbed by your own veil that you can't recognize the fact that everyone else sees you for what you obviously are, and every attempt at dignifying yourself according to your own warped perception only serves to humor every external onlooker in actuality.

well anons do you think Viruses are living organisms or just complex biochemicals? Which viral origin hypothesis do you like the best?

Points against
>Viruses are not capable of independent replication and have to use the cell machinery of there host to do so, even bacteria that have never been grown outside of a cell culture still retain cell machinery of their own.
>Viruses are dormant until they come into contact with a host and do not have a full range of metabolic processes
>If viruses are alive then wouldn't DNA, Plasmids, Prions and even some minerals be alive as well?

Points for
>if recent research indicating that viruses and hosts evolved from a common ancestor than how exactly would viruses evolve back into non-life?
>giant viruses have large genomes and cell machinery
>the metabolism first argument that excludes viruses from life would make plastids a form of life

<the sauce: https://microbiologysociety.org/publication/past-issues/what-is-life/article/are-viruses-alive-what-is-life.html


tbh I find the viral origin debate more interesting but lean towards viruses being alive, that being said I would look at the origin theories before making a decision on if they are alive or not.

how can life emerge from non-life?
the universe is a living being and we grow from it.

>>25283
You also dont really need to bring in quantum mechanics for this, you already get this insight in a classical system with brownian motion.
I also dont think 'not inert' is a very useful definition of whether something is alive or not. When you die the atoms in your body do not stop wiggling but i do think it is useful to make a functional distinction between a living body and a corpse.

>>25291
>>25283
That’s why we need to distinguish the biochemical scale from the molecular/atomic scale. But you are right. Inanimate objects are not really inanimate.
Their particles are constantly in motion.

Shut up you retard

>>25297
none of that was a 'sand castle', btw, it's just that you're too narcissistic to parse anything outside of your narrowly preconceived narrative, BECAUSE YOU HAVE AUTISM (AND narcissism!).

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

>>25138

>designing missiles

>Implying you won't be designing door knobs for literal who company



 

I will be very concise, since I know a long, boring post will make you just lose interest.
>fairly normal life, but im extremely bitter against (succubi) m*dels, the glamour, ease,wealth, luxury and globe-trotting they are gifted just cause MUH FACE
>Im in a country that has free university, including med school\ doctor's college, I wouldn't lose any money if I ended up failing
>I tell myself a lot, that only saving others is good enough reason to keep myself alive
Please give me an honest assessment of this conundrum. I AM willing to go through the pain that is med school, AND a career as a doctor- I talked to several people in either field, so I know what it will be like.

Having a medical degree is a sure way to never have to worry about money again as long as you don't go full retard with your spending.

Didn't you post a few months ago? I rember something similiar I thought you definitely were going to med school. Maybe it was someone else

>fairly normal life, but im extremely bitter against (succubi) m*dels, the glamour, ease,wealth, luxury and globe-trotting they are gifted just cause MUH FACE


This is a dumb reason.
I don't feel any jealousy towards those kind of people.
Those celebs have to deal with groomers and corporate assholes trying to steal their rightful pay.

>>24461
if you think you can do it, do it. medicine is pretty safe thing to study as a career, you just need to keep up the effort.

First post by the way…

Lol,post it on /siberia/,dude,this board is dead

NK is a pretty shitty place to live, honestly, you need to be frank about that, also they have a weird Kim dinasty gleazing, so NK is a kind a cringe socialist country.
