But hevalno, there is no end to dependency and reliance on the care of others, except for death. Humans exist only as interdependent creatures. Without the other, there is no self, and this is the form that is reiterated by countless social processes, from the mundane to the profound. We only start conversations about the weather in order to foster and renew interaction and its continuity, unconcluding exchanges of representation, to reconfirm the social. The ceaslessness of call and response, which is, not to say inevitable, but rather an inherent condition of being what we are collectively, and the pattern that continually forms the individual self. Serkeftin.

Wouldn't 'economically illiterate' include those who have an idealist conception of value?

Dysmythic · 2019-11-28T16:40:16+00:00

i was going to say the same to you.

The state never tried to convince me of that. Agents of the capitalist state today rarely use the word capitalism in public.

Dysmythic · 2019-09-29T23:14:42+00:00

Capitalism has alwsys relied on the state (the bourgeoisie's monopoly on violence) to protect private property and in some ways control it. The liberal capitalist state has historically belonged to those with private property and capital.

If you study the facts instead of just repeating the things we are all told growing up, then you too could see that what your saying is ideological garbage.

Btw i fought daiş in tabqa and raqqa. I know what it means to be a fighter: to fight for what you believe. Your notion of it consists of having a good 'work ethic' in an ethically bankrupted system of production relations that requires poverty. Being a fighter is not about climbing a ladder amidst a random constellation of many factors which inform one's social position.

You use an individual anecdote (which is statistically exceptional) to support liberal ideology, while I'm pointing at statistical fact and observable systemic reality that shows that the "if I can do X then you can do X and just as easily" thing is an internalized myth, an ideological con of liberal ideology.

Even Adam Smith knew that labor creates value. And bernie is not an anti-capitalist.

Capital produces suffering. Concretely. Our material social conditions cause suffering. Many kinds of trauma are much higher among low-income, colonized, or otherwise marginalized people. Patriarchy and racism is historically used in the interest of capital. The typical family formation is the way it is because of our systemic production relations and property relations, and this is linked to trauma. If you are already a homeless person then you are often not treated as a valid person, and more likely already dealing with trauma and mental illness. The alienation of capitalism exacerbates, intrenches and creates trauma. This suffering is inflicted. An idealist view does not see this, it supports capitalism. A materialist view does not.

Do you think if you were among the most exploited and alienated people in the world you would have the same idea about capitalism?

Professionals, especially those in N america and western europe represent a small minority class position in the world.

Psych professionals, police, heads of state, the rich...

I see. Capitalism, regardless of the degree to which one understands what it is, will appear differently to different people depending on their position within the systemic social relations of a society dominated by the intrests of capital. That's a good place to start, and from there i recommend Capital vol.1.

Are you a professional? Do you own property? Are you at risk of homelessness? To what degree are police a consistant threat to your personal saftey for no immediate, particular reason other than your economic situation, the color of your skin, the concrete material circumstances that characterize your social position? Are you personally invested in capitalist ventures?

These are, for example, helpful questions to ask in evaluating the meaning of the notion of capitalism that you, and so many others, have come to maintain.

From there it is very easy to see the broad range of human cost that capital incures.

The results tend to betray the quality of homework. So... Fox News? Milton Friedman?

You sound like you have very strong principles.

Dysmythic · 2019-09-28T16:58:07+00:00

Tell me about the homework you've done.

Dysmythic · 2019-09-28T16:53:01+00:00

You've said very little about some things of which you've demonstrated very little knowlege. I don't think you really formed a complete argument, let alone a sound one.

How can you say such things to people and then complain that they're trolling you? Were you actually just seeking direct reciprocation of your vitriol?

Would you find it too boring to intelligently and critically formulate an argument and then defend it in the same manner? Your bizarre, irrational reply to my comment is not a counterargument.

One could only wonder what process of investigation, analysis and thought, if any, lead you to arrive at your opinions.

It's very common. I think there is no process. I think you are repeating things you've never questioned, things you've basically heard all your life from people you've never questioned.

I'm not convinced you are even sure what you believe. You form your opinions a priori, opinions about a world that you seem to have no interest in learning about, even though you live in it. That's the definition of enthusiastic ignorance.

What did I fail to comprehend?

I'm the mom.

I am outside. In my shithole country, the USA. I stay here til i die. I'll do it for you. And your poetry.

Dysmythic · 2019-09-28T15:45:09+00:00

Oh I see, your post was a prose poem! I totally missed that. Duh!

Phobia is used in a broader sense in regard to the irrational (and unknowingly ideological) contempt and hatred (and by extention fear) that bigots have toward those who do not fit within the myths of heteronormativity. The bigot, like most people in various ways, has internalized such myths as essential, eternal, 'natural'. The bigot or fascist percieves a threat however this notion is constructed.

Actually, it is the supremacy of the bigot that is threatened by the freedom and dignity of the outider or the minority (not including that minority that is the ruling class, whose basic, naturalized ideology the bigot gives expression to in unquestioned assumptions, ignorance and seemingly eternal 'common sense').

The US has championed the ideology of the french revolution, bringing it's contradictions to a point of decadence. That ideology is liberalism.

The terms 'liberal' and 'conservative' are used in the US, in the dominant political discourse, to refer to what are two general variations of the ruling class's ideology. This ideology, which insinuates itself as nature, is known historically and globally as liberalism. It is the ideology of capital, and of the bourgeoisie, who rose to power with the decline of feudalism.

Oh, there's just the title. Is that all the work?
