>I've still never thought that "mercantilism" should be considered its own economic system or mode of production though.
The period was never self-described as "mercantilist". It is a derisive term given by liberals, especially after Adam Smith. The term "capitalism" itself is also a 19th century term, when according to Marx, capitalism existed since around 1500 CE, in development.
>>2853854
The Mercantilist period began around 1600 CE and can be seen in various tendencies within the British, Dutch and French empires of the time. We see literature in the early 17th century (highlighted in Antoine Montchretien's "Traicte", 1615) that merchant guilds in the City of London were growing in social power following the joint-stock company of the East India Company (est. 1600), immediately followed by the Dutch East India Company (est. 1602). New legal frameworks such as the laws of the sea (maritime law) were being debated, regarding new mercantile systems of global trade and colonial capture. We see an emphasis on a growing industrial base at the same time however by Antoine Montchretien's primary account of the manufacturing of both Britain and the Netherlands (who were coincidentally the two great protestant powers which in establishing a national church - rather than submitting to Catholic internationalism, economised church property. Marx discusses this in regards to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, 1536-41, were former Church property became privately leased, which if you are inrerested in the saga of British law, overthrow internal debates about "mortmain", or the "dead hands" of "corporate" property). The most famous mercantilist writer is Thomas Mun's "England's Treasure" (1640), in which he emphasises a "balance of trade" as his main objective, which of course is entirely reasonable. Soon after this, we get William Potter (1650) who is subverting the dominant discourse away from the "usury" of creditors for the sake of expanding commerce (Marx also viewed this turn as the interests of industrial capital overtaking interest-bearing capital). This is followed up by Josiah Child (1668) on the same premises. Each of the men demanded a further lowering of the national rate of interest (which since the starPost too long.

To add something basic which was overlooked, William Potter in 1650 proposes a "land bank" to establish lines of national credit for investment, and Marx calls Josiah Child a precedessor to the creditors who establish the Bank of England (1694), which then becomes integral to the national investment in industry, by collecting funds for large-scale development. In the same time, the Netherlands had established a central bank. John Law in the early 18th century was also advocating the same policy for France. The foundation of central banks is then internal to mercantile debates. John Locke himself became a member of the Board of Trade in 1696, like how Isaac Newton became Bank of England treasurer, who in 1717 established the gold standard. So then, interest-bearing capital loses primacy by the consolidation of credit for the sake of investment into industrial capital. Now, the world's first central bank has an interesting history. It was established by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, setting up franchises all over the place, such as the Temple Bank in the City of London. The assets were eventually seized on October 13, 1307 (which was also a massively corrupt era of the Catholic Church - the accusations of the Templars being idolaters who worship Baphomet equally apply to the institution as a whole - even barring the later selling of "indulgences" to piss off Luther). This was the beginning of the end of the medieval era, as the Black Death came soon after, along with the dissolution of feudalism in England, and the rediscovery of antiquity in the Renaissance, finally leading up to the Protestant Reformation.

You are reading it wrong. The vertical collummn is the group who is being rated horizontal is group giving rating. Every single group has positive opiniom of Jews, but this was an old rating before oct 7. Seems the jewish media does the PR campaign well, but I think the last few uears may have finally been a bridge to far even for the best hasbara.

It gave them the legitimacy to do that, they'd probably have done so anything, but strong enough pressure on the left could have had stopped this in certain countries.

strong enough pressure = revolution and SJWs were not gonna do that ever lol

I disagree, this is something that could have been legislated in. I can even see bipartisan support for it.

The SNP haven't been a single issue party since the 1980s, since then they've carved out a very clear social democratic and anti-war position which is ultimately why they took power in 2007 (Scottish Labour surrendered this position by becoming right wing warmongers),their strategy has been to win people over to independence by showing that Scottish nationalism is the only route to social democracy in contrast to an increasingly reactionary UK.
although they've succumbed to most of the bad institutional incentives of the UK and nowadays don't really have a plan or strategy at all and are mostly firefighting a string of bad decisions. Still, it is some measure of how bad the alternatives are that they nevertheless won the recent Scottish elections.

It is true that some TERFs are "real" 1970s radfems but the median TERF is a small-c conservative type how knows homophobia is a bride too far. The average TERF org is a wokewashed conservative group based in Tufton Street alongside tax-cut wankers and climate change denials coasting off US evangelical funding and randomly dipping into homophobia (like opposing bans on conversion therapy or demanding children are outed to their parents)
I have family with such sympathies and they were all "judge people by merit instead of having quotas, I was hired because I'm good not because I'm a woman" types with no particular animus to transgender people who suddenly u-turned and now won't shut up about their new hobby.

The Sound of Waves is a purely hetero romance and it’s pretty good, Patriotism is about killing yourself instead of making a decision between your country and your friends who attempted a coup and failed. Spring Snow and its sequels you have more of a point with.

The only Mishima I've read is Sun and Steel, and Temple of Golden Pavillion. I found both quite interesting, and eccentric of the type of person that Mishima actually was, which was a romantic person, who unfortunately saw heroism in the lies of his own tradition. His death was fabulously poetic, in how the soldiers sneered at his coup d'etat; the spirit of samurai is dead, and Mishima witnessed it. His suicide is also tragic, of how his friend hardly had the strength to behead him. The Age of Heroes has passed, as Hesiod forewarns; we are men of iron, not brazen demi-gods sent to dispense honour.

>>2853030

A figure of romance akin to Mishima in the time of Marx and Engels was Thomas Carlyle, who Engels responds to rather sympathetically:
<Since however the place of the old religion could not remain entirely vacant, we have acquired a new gospel in its stead, a gospel that accords with the hollowness and lack of substance of the age – the gospel of Mammon. The Christian heaven and the Christian hell have been abandoned, the former as doubtful, and the latter as absurd – and you have acquired a new hell; the hell of modern England is the consciousness of “not succeeding, of not making money.” […] Carlyle complains about the emptiness and hollowness of the age, about the inner rottenness of all social institutions. The complaint is fair; but by simply complaining one does not dispose of the matter; in order to redress the evil, its cause must be discovered; and if Carlyle had done this, he would have found that this desultoriness and hollowness, this “soullessness” this irreligion and this “atheism” have their roots in religion itself. Religion by its very essence drains man and nature of substance, and transfers this substance to the phantom of an otherworldly God, who in turn then graciously permits man and nature to receive some of his superfluity. […] The hollowness has long been there, for religion represents man’s action of making himself hollow; and you are surprised that now, when the purple that concealed it has faded, when the fog that enveloped it has passed away, that now, to your consternation, it emerges in the full light of day?

I'm not an anything-ist, but ideologically I'm closest to Marxism-Leninism. That said, in person anarchists are just better company. There are obviously exceptions, but generally I'd much rather chill with anarchists than communists. I even married one.
They're still wrong, but they're fun and have valid critiques of communism.
Also the meme matrix is bad and you shouldn't have that image saved.
