“I’ve seen it, the mask of humanity fall from capital—it has to take it off to kill everyone—everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death… the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know that the bourgeois are not human.”

The name is actually misleading. Try wandering around deserts and waitinf for a loud noise
That’s how they get you to work multiple jobs for more hours to extract further value. If you are surviving then you are being paid the value of your labor power or being subsidized by family.
You explained it plenty well enough 👍
Never hurts to reread capital though
We should really be “asking” for a lot more


The only “org” in my area is a book club full of left coms. I still joined but it sucks.


Yeah but I still thought it was funny


Putting this in the post body actually, apologies for not doing so already

It is George Alexpoulos and iirc they are a fascist.


We should talk sometime haha
Labor power is not the same as labor. The price of labor power is the minimum cost of reproducing labor. That’s enough money to provide food, water, and shelter. The quality of your shelter is up for debate though. Effectively, the price of labor power is how much it cost for you to be able to come to work the next day. VPP covers the topic in detail


What are the exact steps I need to take to butterfly effect world communism into existence as soon as possible.
For a less consequential question: where is the incan sun disk, does it still exist.


It’s small enough that I regularly interact with users I recognize and know a fair bit about but big enough that there are plenty of strangers. I like the radicalism too obviously. Best part is still the lack of ads though, can’t beat that.
I wish there was more silly haha content. Politics and news are great and all but I don’t want that to be all lemmy is. I do a little by posting funny hahas here and there. I don’t have any solutions to offer unfortunately.


Go back in time an kill your great great gandparents or something


All private ownership of land is deeply morally suspect. Workers made those means of production but someone was violent enough to claim it for themselves. Sometimes several people for as long as capitalism has existed.


Assyria, the Maya, and a few Chinese dynasties are particularly notable imo. What scares me is the climate change they experienced was on a significantly smaller scale than us.


History of labor is what I really should teach but I would enjoy teaching a class on native American art.
There used to be a PSL pre-branch but it was just me and 3 other people. Fell apart unfortunately after some of us moved away. I think I am gonna wait until I am out of a highly conservative college town to do any real organizing.
