That is part of the reason they got rid of conscription. During Vietnam, there were studies done that showed that a large number of officer death were likely ‘friendly fire’ incidents by conscripts. That and it got rid of the social pressure created by constant protests of conscription at home. As the empire begins to flail though, it wouldn’t surprise me if they start to reintroduce the idea of mandatory service.

So, basically your claim is simply that it is better to take worker’s money at the point of consumption?

Because “stand your ground” has always meant “can shoot minorities of you are ‘scared’”.

It is a very silly movie that gay culture in the 70’s got really attached to, so like when they throw confetti in the movie you were encouraged by the theatre to throw confetti when confetti is thrown onscreen. It was an organically grown cultural thing that developed from the NY arts scene I think and grew out from there, though I could be getting the OG location wrong.

Interactive theatre has been a thing for a long time, this was just interactive movie theatre. It’s like shouting things and changing the script through pure audience interaction in amateur professional wrestling.

The problem is that this shit has always been fun to do, corporation or no. It’s like a worse Rocky Horror Picture show.

Yup, this was real at the time. Was posted abit before she went onto TrueAnon, where she was incredibly lucid and insightful on how a woman can find herself in a position like that, and what the glaring red flags are and cautioning young artists especially against getting too involved with their wealthy patrons.

The fact that you are naive enough to believe that the study of economics can be divorced from ‘ideology’ is why nobody is taking anything you say seriously. You so clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and yet you are so confident in your answers that it doesn’t really seem worth it to most people here to explain it in painstaking detail, since you clearly have done no actual research yourself before spewing your opinions online.

When Marx was writing, economics, or at the time as it was called, the study of political-economy, was not about specifically getting ROI’s, a.practice at which even modern ‘economics’ is shaky at with the best of times (given that they are constantly changing their weighted values). After all, that’s less about the study of human political economy, and more the study of statistical outcomes. Hilariously enough, the very fact that you can predict ROI’s to even a certain degree is something that Marx would have been alone at the time in predicting would occur in the field, with neo-classical and Austrian school economists claiming since Marx that the market has too many variables to predict accurately, which is why a completely free market is the best statistical judge of people’s wants and desires. After all, if you can predict an ROI, then you can accurately forecast demand.

I’ll explain it to you like this. You think that your whole bottom tax heavy, lack of educational infrastructure spiel doesn’t fit square within Marx’s predictions (which was predicted and cautioned against by American Marxists since even before Reagan) of the inevitable outcomes of capitalist political-economy, which means to most people here you are simply not worth the economic investment of time to explain shit to for the outcome we will receive, especially for anonymous online horseshit forum.

Marx’s problem is that despite creating an incredibly accurate picture of the political economy of capitalism, he never actually created an outline for what a socialist political economy, or even transitional socialist economy looks like, which means that even people who believe his economic-political structure of capitalism can and will get things incorrect about how to transition away from that model of ownership and production.

Dbz the user is an insufferable debatelord who barely hides their contempt for you while posturing as jaqing off. Who was rightfully banned here around a year ago due to said tendencies (that I may or may not have got them to mask off on).

Dbz the forum is pretty chill. Little to Reddit for my liking, but not terrible.
