Previous thread: >>1946727
Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.
Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.
Threads that otherwise might go in here will eventually find themselves become merged to this thread.
>>2177927MOMMY I DONT DO RULE I WANT TO SAY GUCK AND ZHIT I AM ADULT MOMMYE
IF SUCKCIALISM IS SO DOG WHAI CUBAAAA HOMOFASHA!!!!??
sorry tankanon have a nice day >>2178176>Do you guys think it would be a viable strategy to destroy the far right by fanning the flames of the most retarded antivaxx takes imaginable?No because reactionaries aren't the only ones who fall for antivaxx shit (for instance plenty of working class people are skeptical of vaccines in the USA either out of miseducation, or out of real experience of discrimination, like the Tuskegee Experiments), and the people who fall for antivaxx shit aren't the only ones who suffer for it (immunocompromised children not old enough to form opinions about vaccines come to mind)
> None of the antivaxxers will ever be able to admit that their "persecution" was for nothing so they NEED to believe the depopulation Bill Gates bullshit. "I'm so glad the vaxx will soon kill everyone I disagree with. I can stay home and play video games for the rest of my life and inherent the earth!" And "The vaxxies all betrayed me by taking a shot. They all deserve to die and will shed on me if I get too close!" Are really useful for rightwing retards to believe because those beliefs encourage them to be inactive and to alienate others. An inactive and isolated fascist is almost as good as a dead fascist.reactoids are paper tigers whether or not they believe stupid shit
>>2180053>Marx said that labour produces value the value of a commodity is the socially necessary labor time required to produce it. if someone sits around doing useless labor all day they do not produce value or surplus value. furthermore if they use antiquated methods to produce something that is already produced with equal quality using automated methods, they are not going to make very much money because they are not using the average methods for their society at its current level of development.
>it is the creative application of labour to objects that gives them their value correct.wrong
>So in that case why do capitalists always come up with ways to automate production?capitalists don't "come up with ways to automate production." professionals do. scientists. engineers. mathematicians.
> If labour is the source of valuea utopian slogan marx fought against
marx did not believe that "labor is the source of all value" in the simplistic sense that labor alone creates value. Instead, he argued that abstract collective labor in its relationship to the means of production production of commodities within a capitalist system produces value and surplus value, which is appropriated by the capitalist . marx said that the value of a commodity is determined by the socially necessary labor time required to produce it, which accounts for the labor power used in its production. He also distinguishes between labor power, which is the capacity to labor sold as a special commodity by the worker to the capitalist, and labor itself. he also emphasized the exploitation inherent in capitalism, where the value created by workers exceeds the wages they receive. this difference is surplus value, and it is extracted by capitalists as profit. marx recognized labor as central to value but highlighted the exploitative dynamics and social relations of production that shape how value is appropriated.
>why do they want to get rid of lots of it?a machine is a product of past labor AKA "dead labor." therefore automating jobs is not getting rid of labor. it is simply replacing living labor (what marx calls variable capital) with "dead" labor (what marx calls "constant capital").
>Does it come down to wagesYes. If you own means of production, you own conditions of production. if a bunch of workers make a machine, you pay them a wage, but you as the capitalist get to own it, and all products produced with that machine in the future belong to you. the problem arises when the socially necessary labor time required to produce a commdity drops, making it vastly cheaper. orthodox economics calls this a problem of oversupply. marx calls this a crisis of overproduction, because he emphasizes labor time rather than supply
I'm oversimplifying but this is the gist.

short answer: no, no
>>2186582>Capitalists seek automation in order to reduce the wage billyes, of course
>this is needlessly nitpicking.I think anon was making the distinction because capitalists are often credited as Tony Stark style mavericks and geniuses who single-handedly do the technological labor required to automate things themselves. Like they just walk onto the factor floor, do a bunch of wizard math in their heads like gif related, and then conclude from the sheer force of their own giant brain what kind of changes need to be made. The apologetic nature of that kind of rhetoric needs to be dismantled. Capitalists seek automation to reduce the wage bill but they aren't responsible for the labor of innovation that makes it possible. Also the reduction in the wage bill is offset by the reduced price of commodities.

>>2206615Eating ass is actually brilliant for your immune system.
Since I've started eating ass I've noticed a miraculous improvement in my gastrointestinal system. No more cramping, diarrhoea, constipation or nausea. There was probably an imbalance of probiotic bacteria in my colon. Fecal transplants are now a medical therapy for numerous GI disorders.
I would encourage everyone to eat ass regularly. It could change your life.
