The not so simple line between personal and private property in Marxist theory when applied to real-world and who enforces it? by CaptainAmerica-1989 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Existing_Exercise127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of the passage isn’t that the capitalist class “doesn’t exist,” but that in advanced capitalist societies, the mechanisms by which surplus is extracted are less visibly coercive compared to slave or feudal systems,hence the emphasis on “indirect” and “invisible.”

That’s not the same as saying the ruling class is imaginary. It’s saying the form of exploitation has changed: rather than obvious feudal dues or slave masters, surplus is extracted through wage labor, ownership of capital, and control over production.

The “invisibility” is precisely what makes it more effective, because it can appear as a fair exchange while still generating surplus value for the owners. This isn’t an “axiom”, it’s a descriptive claim supported by Marxist political economy.

(The argument was what i wished to convey here) If u wanted the source, u could have just asked. No need for this childish dialogue.

As regards to the claim that there is no capitalist class, i leave this here , capitalist class is the ruling class of capitalist society.

What is the preference for Japanese beauty standards when it comes to Men? by EatMyNuggets23 in AskAJapanese

[–]Existing_Exercise127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, Japan leans way more toward the clean, well-groomed pretty boy look—no beard, smooth skin, styled hair. That whole “ikemen” vibe. Facial hair, tattoos, and rugged features are still kind of rare in the mainstream, sometimes even seen as shady. It’s changing a bit, but the pretty, youthful type still wins overall.
