The woman in the video is literally influenced by Western racism, apart from how “uyghur killer” is from English racist meme culture, why would Chinese racism praise his girlfriend for being white?

Replace him with Jason W Moore.

yeah sure but anon requested it. its good to teach people how to pirate books

dude condensed the most common debunks of fossil fuel apologia into a youtube short

Really though you could just read the book instead of inventing positions other people dont hold.

>Marx says the result is quantitatively the same as what a certain type of simple calculation results in. He is NOT saying that this simple calculation resembles the actual process.
To elaborate on that, it's a bit like having to stay within a weight limit for transporting items and facing the question whether one is below that without data in hand about the individual weights, but only with data about the average item weight and the number of items. From that one can trivially compute the total weight of the pile. But it would be asinine to assume that the things themselves actually get uniform in weight.

>You already conceded that value is transferred
I did not "concede" that, at no point did I assume otherwise.
>you have yet to tell us what you think in your interpretation the source of this value is
This shouldn't be necessary in a thread on Marxist economics: labor power. (There are complications in that you can't directly use time, because people work at different speed, and there is labor power at different skill levels, and there is overproduction and mismanagement.) I'm not making a new definition of value. I'm telling you that at some point the value has to be embodied in something to be transferred.
>you just repeatedly ask the same inane question
Well at least now you don't claim anymore I'm constantly changing the topic, so finally you are making a tiny bit of progress.

Third-worldists say first-worlders live the nice life on the back of third-world workers. You live the nice life (any life really) by consuming use-values. Hence to make a compelling case for the third-worldist claim being true, value transfer can at best only play one part in a bigger argument about use-values constructed wholly or in crucial parts in the third world ending up being consumed in the first world. The value transfer described volume III from industries with low organic composition of capital to industries with high organic composition of capital all by itself does not work as proof or almost-proof for the third-worldist claim. Marx did not construct that to argue for giga-profiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

So when I talk about wage differentials, ie the price of labor power, that is something meaningfully different to you? and you say im splitting hairs and not reading the context of the whole post

It's easy to internalize Labor mythology, when you compare the record of Labor vs LNP on policy nuances.

Not me, comrade. Solidarity from another industry union.

Welcome to share the bants with us, redact it if needed. Imageboard culture leaks into the mainstream more each day so wouldn't be surprised if they were just discord.gov users or old meme-loving fucks.

>>2551483
thanks comrade, solidarity to you as well.
I won't share but they were dropping "tankie" type meme videos and using terms like "glowie" and "fedposting". The background is a frustrated rank and file dealing with a conservative leadership - a tale as old as time.

Those are rather nice anon. I collect communist and communist adjacent paraphernalia when I can get my hands on it. Here's a picture of some pins I got in berlin

There's some things you are getting confused about relativity, like you don't go to "FTL speed" to experience the effects of time dilation, it happens at real life physically-possible speeds with no need for hyperspace/wormhole magic or any other bullshit like that. Furthermore, relativistic time dilation doesn't make you age more slowly and is not a method of achieving immortality - from your perspective on the spaceship time is still moving at normal speed and your body is still aging just as it always does, time is just slowing down for you relative to everything outside of the spaceship. It's called "relativity" for a reason, you know.

Also, if you just want to preserve yourself and wake up in the future it would make a lot more sense to just use cryogenics, the already existing technology that is designed for that very purpose, rather than an interstellar spacecraft?

They are using it as a mechanism to generate support (ngl anti-flagging is good in principle but hardly a strong basis for building a socialist movement off of). What i see with them is your usual "Anti-Reform, Anti-Capitalist, pro-Palestine" stuff with a vague IRA sheen from the use of kneecap, ballies & bererts, and the phoenix that looks very Provo, yet without any explicit Irishness. They seem to be active in provincial towns (especially in the North East) but also they dont seem to be particularly ideological. Certainly aren't Leninists or Anarchists. I don't know kinda feels like Irish Republicanism but instead of Irish Culture its rootless zoomer philonationalism. You know the sort; who are anti-british and anti-english, yet love when "the right sorts" do nationalism (Irish, Palestinians, Latin Americans).
I guess I just don't see how there is a social base for this beyond those who are already outcasts yk? Building an ANTIFA movement that is already the social outcasts is not a path to success.

Activism is ultimately pointless, the only time action matters is when it is revolutionary.
That said this is still based and makes me feel good. I hope they keep it up.

This doesn't really work because Mamdani's whole thing is that he'll speak with anyone if they're open to it which was part of the whole appeal. (Ironically he's kind of doing something Haz wanted to do which is communicate with people who don't normally identify as being on the left, but also you know… like… successfully). He'd talk to Trump, whatever.

>>2552472

There were also big swings in Trump-Mamdani districts (apparently). A lot of these are immigrant heavy neighborhoods. There's just a bunch of relatively conservative immigrant boomers from Egypt or wherever living in Queens who voted for Trump in 2024 and then Mamdani, and he succeeded massively without pandering to socially conservative prejudices. He's actually very liberal as far as I can tell.

It's an interesting thing but I think part of it is that these immigrants haven't been totally assimilated, which means they haven't been incorporated by the two party system. They're more up for grabs. Part of the Democrat vs. Republican thing in the U.S. is that it's not just about politics but identity and tribe with long histories in American society and culture. Like northern (often German) Protestant whites + blacks in an alliance (this goes back to the Civil War) and then an alliance between southern conservative Evangelical whites and northern Italian Catholics. That's more recent, post-WWII, but look at the prepoderance of Italian names among New York and New Jersey Republicans like Giuliani, Sliwa, and Ciattarelli. Democrats… Whitmer, Spanberger, Walz.

But if you're some kid whose parents are Maronite Catholics from Lebanon, where do you fit into that in post-9/11 America. Makes me wonder if on some level Haz's schizophrenic ideology is an attempt at coping or trying to seek acceptance from people who have hated Arabs his whole life because he can be more chud than them! Mamdani on the other hand is Muslim and part of his appeal to these many immigrants is that he very openly identifies as an immigrant while also synchronizing that with pre-existing traditions of Ellis Island newcomers demanding their place at the table of the American Dream.

Sliwa was the trve gommunist.
