Me at the D***blast meet-up: "I'm only here for the planned economy, not the rainbow CIA stuff"

This fella calls you a Hegelian fruitcake, what do you say

"Marx, is that you in there?"

@spongebob Btw, there is a forum for academics interested in planned economies, cybernetic planning and the computer side of socialism. Their admin wrote a long post criticizing D***blast, I guess he understood the recent controversy ain't good for the movement. D***blast has an account there too but I don't know if he has responded yet. Some of the criticism was stupid though but yeah

i’m more offended by his anti-Hegelian than the homophobia

Word. I feel like I've kind of calmed down about it by now, a lot of the s*** i was saying was just a mixture of me being triggered and trying to get terminally online jokes off

Read a chapter or so into T.A.N.S. but haven't got back 2 it yet

Skip the math s*** and just read that mug

Let it fuel your hatred of MARKETS

"Waste no time on Hegel!"

Same guy: "I tried to read Hegel as a student in 1973"

Piketty, who wrote "Capital in the 21st Century", never read Marx and chose the title bc it would be controversial

damn i’m gonna be like him in 40 years

Jordan Peterson who wanted to debate Marxism with Zizek but admitted he didn't even get through the Communist Manifesto, a literal pamphlet written for workers

i keep f***ing seeing that when i stop by the bookstore omw to uni seeing if they stocked Capital

The problem with Hegel is that his stuff is so vague that you can project so much shyt into it.

They knew what they were doing ...

@Womanpuncher69 Piketty's grand solution is having a global tax on the wealthy or something btw

oh yeah i know about him otherwise i would have probably fallen for the title bait lol

"Just tax them more bro...."

Capitalists just doubling down on s*** that doesn't work, unable to think of any alternatives

Just try capitalism HARDER

Ngl in my younger days I thought piketty and all these other guys like stigiltz were on to something.

But they are trash

I have like 15 books from those types I just wanna thriw out but have nothing to replace them on the shelf yet

This is what markets bring you btw

There is an entire section of EU law that is devoted to seeing if state subsidies give companies an unfair advantage in the EU

So you can be in Germany and report some company in Spain and say their subsidies are distorting the European market and their state should stop paying them

Of course this also applies to any company that would get nationalized, the EU law basically wants all companies to be privatized and puts strict limits on nationalization

damn they finally freed u

Im that Kamo dude who was friends with Stalin and escaped two separate executions at the last moment through trickery and sheer luck

At least you weren't a fascist or something
I was a vague social democrat too but I really hated Bush and the USA and thought Chavez was cool

I didn't even know s*** lol idk if I even had a coherent ideology beyond reformism

Man was eating his own s*** to prove he was insane
