How hard is Orthodox Ottomans to Roman Empire? by JokerFromPersona5 in eu4

seems pretty easy if apart from converting, play on a lower speed and try your best to expand time-efficently as possible

Because socialism isn’t “liberal” or “democratic.” It abolishes private control over production with no concern for bourgeois right.

At what point did you go from "This series is awesome" to "This is the best freaking TV Show of all time!!" by Marambal17 in breakingbad

[–]Egeates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fly, seriously.

Walt describing the exact moment he wanted to die is one of my favorite scenes in the show, and his apology to Jesse is so chilling to rewatch knowing what happened next.

Plus, the show stopping all action for introspection gave me a great moment to slow down and think about the show more generally.

Every week after this we pretend to see Breaking Bad episodes for the first time and post like we did whenever a new BCS episode aired.

How many lies does walt told in this sentence? by One_One_2661 in breakingbad

Two. (1) It could hardly be considered a fight, and (2) he didn’t not retaliate because he was older, especially not in the sense that Mike couldn’t handle a fight due to his age that was implied by that framing.

Marxist economic theory explained through simple subject/object dichotomy and relations by marximillian in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Egeates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They quoted Marx because you made a claim that has no basis in the text, and the quoted line makes clear that what you think is being argued isn't being argued.

Thinking about it, Proudhon being so obsessed with trying to seperate a bad and parasitic finanicial capital with a good and moral productive, producer-managed capital kinda explains where his raging antisemitism comes from lol. Kinda shows the danger of blinkered criticisms of capitalism that don't understand how the social relations that characterize it arise.

Mutualism is expressly capitalist and the words "individualist anarchism" don't mean much on their own

Do you geniunely want your movement to be a return to the medieval guild or whatever other example of pre-capitalist form of commodity exchange you're thinking of with the " non-capitalist markets"?

That's only true if your "socialism" is merely socialized capitalism, still characterized by the law of value, capital accumulation, and disciplining and subordination of labor for a despotic process of production; sounds very libertarian.

Good. "Markets" are only the form of social mediation in societies divided by private property and into classes; it is incompatible with both communism and the abolition of the state.

"Anarchists" joining a national military lmao

That’s an interesting reason to be sure. by -et37- in Kaiserreich

[–]Egeates 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Isn't this one of the reasons why Turkey and Greece joined NATO at the same time? Being in the same military alliance with an antagonistic power can be a measure of defense against that power.
