Marx and historical materialism

Recent discussion of trans politics has invoked the terms “materialist” and “idealist”. Rob Hoveman gives an overview of some of these key philosophical concepts in Marx’s thought, arguing that abstract concepts are vital, but we also need to think through how we apply them in practice.

The minimal socialist state versus bloated capitalism

colddarkstars.wordpress.com/2018/01/22/the-minimal-socialist-state-versus-bloated-capitalism/

Tybna!

Also Happy birthday Sergei Eisenstein, the greatest communist filmmaker to ever live.

Man, my government sure seems to lose thing a lot.

Big day for the news. We get TWO OP/ED

Glad this lie of bureaucracy gets attacked more often. Capitalism is bloated and bureaucratic garbage.

The Republicans don't have the votes for this, and even if they did, invoking it would set a dangerous precedent. If the Democrats take the Senate this year, they could they use it themselves with impunity.


So Cotton just admitted he's been lying this whole time. What a surprise.

THE HOUSE GOP SOLUTION FOR DACA IS TO TURN THEM INTO SLAVES

twitter.com/David_J_Bier/status/955068686968283138

TL;DR

I posted this in the other thread, but I'm posting it again because it's a good example of why Congress is still shut down. The GOP are not operating in good faith and have no intention of actually solving the DACA situation or ending the standoff.

McConnell could bring the original Graham-Durbin bill to vote right now and watch it pass, but he's too scared of the House and Trump to do anything.

And they say there's no institutional racism, fucking bullshit man

Nonsense, they were merely permanently misplaced.

Can't wait until it reaches fucking 90

Central/South American and Mexican arent fucking races

That's not the point.

Ethnic hatred isn't any better than racism, see: balkans in the 90's, Northern Ireland until Good Friday, Rwanda 1994, etc.

You're taking the anti idpol shit to a stubborn degree. Of course there's racism against everyone south of the border in the American government.

t. someone who has shit sense of linguistics.

hahahaha

>Congressional Republicans have been focusing on Strzok and Page in recent weeks after learning the two had exchanged anti-Trump text messages on their work-issued cell phones.

This is all you need to know about that situation. It's just another pathetic attempt by Republicans to discredit the Mueller investigation with accusations of Anti-Trump bias.

he's like their 5th leader in the last 6-8 months.

(checked)
Yeah.
My work-in-progress nihilism isn't even close to be able to cope this shit yet. My nascent depression feels like it's worsening, even though it might just be the sleep-deprivation that's talking. I should recover.

Welp, I suppose I could channel it into kindling justified bitter rage that might provide a proper source of tenacity once things hopefully start to roll off. Patience is key, both now and then, after all.

JOB
CREATORS!

Nah nah nah Sargon told me that millions were being lifted out of poverty daily

It's not true capitalism until 100% goes to one person.

Jeff Bezos will usher in a capitalist utopia where he owns fucking everyone and their dog in his midwest vacation cattle ranch

It's fine though because if you make like $30,000 a year you are in the top 1%

t. reddit

Are there any comrades as reliable as Turkish comrades?

I bet his password was like Trump1947 or some shit

turks are murderous cockroaches who belong in the trashbin of histroy. Fuck every single one of them, and balkanize their country.

I think the guys who hacked this dumbass are kind of cool.

so there's no way to escape if you're an immigrant? This is downright horrifying

What did you expect from the Grand Ol' Party. This is like porn for their voters. Not that Democrats are any better, but people shouldn't forget how terrible the GOP is either.

He really is a lizard. Fucking onion munching iguana.

Greece continues to puzzle me on how they got to this point.
It might just be whatever liberal tendencies I have left which I haven't quite purged but dear god their situation just is a clusterfuck and I have no idea how it got to this point. Liberalism in decay I guess?

You're right. I rarely change the title from the source so I didn't really think about it but that would've been more appropriate here.

Can I ask NewsAnon. Do you ever try to go around the filters on here or do you usually not care?

which filters? like word filters on r0j@va and such?

That's one, although I swear I've seen more identical and slightly ridiculous words before which I can only assume is from a filter. For example anuddah shoah I see a lot

Just let us know whenever you need us to edit anything.

I filed a report asking the vols to change it accordingly.

cheers

White House infrastructure plan gets leaked

I rarely run into them and when I do I just avoid them.

thanks

Nothing new. Everyone knows Trump's big plan for infrastructure is to give himself and a his contractor buddies another handout.

Fortunately, with Congress being the dumpster fire it currently is, it's doubtful it'll get anywhere this year.

prz brink bak lefdypole

Occupy did their best, what's next?

MAKE TRUMP FUCKING LEARN TO READ AND PAY ATTENTION FOR MORE THAN FIVE GOD DAMN MINUTES

AN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN SHOULDNT BE SIX FUCKING PAGES WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE

ONLY

SIX

FUCKING

PAGES

Having multiple US and UK-installed fascist dictatorships violently seize power within the past 100 years does weird things to a country.

I wish this were a shitpost, but this is literally the logic the GOP uses. See: “Fairtax”

I know why they do it. It's just fucking insulting.

This is like fucking kindergarten. Six fucking pages is a junior high paper, not a fucking infrastructure plan. Jesus christ

This is great. No matter what is your opinion of over a dozen US military bases, it is great that the world learns that you'll always lose with uncle Sam, because in the end, he'll abandon you or stab you in the back.

Update on former Sheriff Clarke's Twitter.

Just post a daily news thread of your own.

dog bless israel

I can't fucking believe right wingers

Apparently. I found out I was the 1% when r/latestagecapitalism said land owners were the 1%. When my right wing parents either leave it to me or die of old age, I plan to create a commune. I have forest, shooting range, a shared lake for fishing, tiny mobile home, government helicopters flying over my house every day… Is perfect start to commune!

The US is committing suicide right before our eyes. Holy shit.

America is fucked. Even fucking Social Democracy will basically be impossible unless a huge percentage of this country is directly destroyed by war (god willing.)

(kekked)
You don't need hundreds of pages of a meticulous plan in a situation that gets worse by the year and with literally millions of lives on the line when the invisible hand is on your side. Don't worry. Spooks will solve our problems.

The newspapers talked about it as something that had happened to him because of his identity, which couldn’t have been more wrong. His identity had nothing to do with being a black man as the police probably identified him; he probably, if he didn’t think of himself as a Guinean, thought of himself as a Malinké or whatever his people were. That’s how he thought of himself but it didn’t make any difference. The police officers’ identification of him was what controlled the moment, not his identity as he defined it. That is one of the characteristics of racism. Even though the targets may imagine that their race is their identity, and it is an identification they can choose to identify with as others identify them, racism determines that one can override the other.

seeing the nationalist zombies ignore the fact they are starving yet protesting meaningless bullshit made me realise there is no future here
i'll get my degree and then leave this shithole to burn

...

Dont worry, youll get some scraps to not rebel too much.

But if leftpol doesn't just copy content from leftypol they'd have literally nothing

It's not like anywhere else is going to be any better off in a few years.

Dear god.

Does this surprise you considering how much were giving up on the international stage?

The acceleration is going a bit too fast for me guys
