>An institution for playing roulette with other people’s debts is comparable to institutions of research and developing knowledge.
The Soviets were big on education and as a result Russia has one of the highest degrees of tertiary educational attainment, you catamite pseud.

Marxism is a scientific discipline that Marx and Engels developed through extensive study. Hell, they should be known just as much for being the fathers of modern social science.

>>82119
You really think the decaying institution we call the academy is the same as it was in the 1960s? It's middle class retards like you who still believe the American dream of education as the facilitator for upward social mobility. That stopped years ago. It's very clear academia isn't for anything other than dissemination of ruling ideology, not to mention its contracts with the MIC and NGOs.

Marx IS taught in all universities, in the sanitized and bastardized version. Where do you think all this idpol nonsense came from? Have you even touched on the social sciences?

It's okay. Trotskyists have never won anything.

Homeboy, I like Council Communism, too. I think it’s more conducive of a structure to establish an actual DotP. Quit being a schizo.

Well that's the problem. Fuckin' normies.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

>>82066
Indeed, npc gonna be npc. Why we're all so interested in politics? Cuz we want to change our lives & have a say in politics. Cuz we want ourselves better. Not by asking some goddamn ridiculous question.

What do you expect from those cucked herds? They're wagies, they belong in the cagies. They shouldn't even question anything if they think what we did were useless. But relax they'll have their own use later. We still need cucks to run the show. Besides bystanders like them are gonna be beaten anyway.

Correct, m8. Those npcs shall engage in politics with or without their agreement. Their neutrality shall also determine the direction of the society & the system itself. They're just cowards eventually.

The Latter are unapologetic Dengists. I think the Contrast is pretty nice, if you read both of them

Engineers and programmers fall under the professionals category, they are not managers. Professionals can be productive workers like engineers or non-productive like medical doctors. Managers are always non-productive.

It’s the stratum of the proletariat who are a cunt hair away from becoming porkies themselves and who often are the instruments by which Porky puts the screws on the rest of the proletariat. Once the dictatorship of the proletariat arises, the internal contradictions between these faggots and the rest of the proletariat will be the impetus for transitioning from higher to lower stage socialism. Or backsliding back into capitalism like what happened in the former Soviet Union.

You read me correctly. This was the true nature of the nomenklatura in Leninist states . Leninists think that it’s best to let your country be run by a bunch of dickhead middle-managers who’re all part of an aborted fetus of an organization resembling a criminal gang, suburban housewives’ bookclub and college fraternity.

Don’t be like leninists.

>>81084
The term makes a bit more sense when you read the two terms together, not professionals and managers, but professional managers, the CEOs paradropped in on special missions, the interlocking board members, the middle managers who presume to be able to run any enterprise as long as they can do it through a spreadsheet. They could be said to have de-skilled porky just as they have de-skilled workers.

>>81121
I disagree. The PMC, read as I did just above, have a controlling relation to the MoP, usually as delegates of porky with an especially long leash, and are therefore pb with full bourg characteristics. Their property, as a guild of sorts, consists of their exclusive relations among themselves, their ever-changing passwords by which they authenticate one another, and their ability to use those relationships to coordinate production within, and importantly across, capitalist enterprises in a spirit that looks suspiciously like mutual aid.
I agree with your post in all other aspects.

>>80299
it's literally nomenklatura 2.0

It's just a synonym for white collar labor aristocrats

LTV was invented by other economists before Marx discussed it. If I’m not mistaken, it’s important in classical economics.

Marx does a Hegelian critique of the labour theory of value. If you don't have a dialectical framework in hand, you'd just think he was rehashing Adam Smith without the metaphysical implications it has for humanity.

>A third group, consisting mainly of upper middle class youths(although with some working class members), based their protest on their musical preferences, rejecting the völkisch music propagated by the party for American jazz forms, especially swing.

Why am i imagining that one meme where its the "who would win, nerd with bottled up anger or a jock who listens to jazz"

>>81661
its funny when nationalist make everything about "muh volk" people start rejecting their bs and actively adopt foreighn culture
For example many left wing youth groups idealized the ussr and actevely used russian slang, same with swing youths and english

>>80108
>Labour Party that was interested in socialism but by "keeping the colonies" because granting them independence would be a step back as they argued Anglos represented civilizational progress
[spoiler]Labour was right.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Insofar as that most countries which were given independence just became part of the unofficial Amerian empire, one where imperial plunder could continue freely but where the blood from the famines and the civil wars didn't stain their flag. National independence is preferable to colonialism, but overt colonialism is much preferable to covert colonialism.[/spoiler]

One doesn't follow from the other - whether or not a hospital makes a profit is completely irrelevant in terms of access depending on your insurance system. As you know, the law or value continues to exist in socialism and both the USSR and China tried to straighten up unprofitable enterprises. China does not have a entirely private insurance system like the US, that's nonsense, although out-of-pocket expenses for specific services do exist.

Hospitals in China that are overwhelmed do not give preferential treatment depending on the wallet, they have waiting lists. So that's clearly not an allocation based on income.

The obsession with healthcare is a specific American perspective because of the catastrophic system in the US. But healthcare isn't the only thing in terms of basic necessities, there is also a roof over your head, groceries and education - and China does give away free homes when they construct them in rural areas. The people there get the keys handed over, for free. And those are nice homes too. But yet surely if I were to ask around most people would be more "okay" with some form of cost accounting when it comes to housing or groceries, I've never heard people scandalizing the USSR for "not giving away food for free" but for healthcare it's implied that they are cruel for having to ratio a scarce service.
