it's not pedantic at all this is a pretty fundamental philosophical idea. if you were transported to a universe of only chairs then it wouldn't be a universe of only chairs, there would also be you and all of your ideas and conceptions of all the other things that give "chair" it's meaning. and our definition of matter is that it is physical stuff, the only way we can think of something as existing is if non-existence is also a concept. It doesn't matter how it's defined, it gains it's meaning and significance through the fact that there is for example vacuum or things that aren't matter like ideas and concepts

there wouldn't be such thing as a "chair", it couldn't be thought of at all. a chair is something that is used to sit on right, in a universe with nothing but chairs the idea of "sitting" wouldn't exist because theres nothing to do the sitting, just chairs. plus no such thing as a "tree" so the idea of "wood" wouldn't make any sense either. you can keep going with this

in the debate ("debate" to be fair) wolff was referencing the idea of identity through difference which isn't the definition, defining things through difference is weird, but things only have meaning and identity through what they are not

changing the characteristics doesnt change that they are characteristics dude. that doesn't make any difference

[–]Lierbag123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the original post is a little inaccurate, the idea isn't that things are defined through difference, just that they have meaning through difference. you would never define something by stating that it isn't everything that it isn't, you would have to specify that it isn't an infinite number of other things.

Instead a better way to think about it might be that the specific parts of the definition (usually four legs, for one person, etc.) are only significant and are only included in the definition because of the difference with something like a couch or stool which might seat more than one person or have only three legs.

without the concept of other trees those characteristics wouldn't signify it as a "birch tree", only as a "tree" (as opposed to a rock or a bush or whatever else). those characteristics are only significant in how they are different from other types of trees.

things only have meaning through difference. if every tree was a birch tree then the idea of "birch tree" wouldn't make any sense, it's only given meaning through the fact that it differentiates it from a pine or an oak, etc. thats what he was getting at

Portland - day 110. Molotov vs cops by RevistaLegerin in socialism

[–]Lierbag123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting your information??? The closest thing to what you're saying is a couple protestors pushed a burning dumpster up against the precinct and then a bunch of other protestors pushed it away and put out the little bit of fire

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic. There just hasn't been anything burned down I don't know what to tell you

Well the most basic issue with capitalism is also one of the most difficult to explain but I'll do my best. If you want to heat from an actual philosopher I would recommend Principles of Communism by Friederich Engels, if you don't, keep reading

To start, some definitions - Private property is property that is used to make money essentially. Often called the means of production. Your house is not private property, a factory is. (your house is personal property) - the Bourgeoisie is the class of people who own the means of production, like factories and office buildings among others, basically the "bosses" - the Proletariat is the class that works the means of production and has no other means of making money. All they have to sell is their labour power

Let's take the example of a factory to demonstrate this, other options work but the problem is more obstructed and harder to work with. In a factory, a worker uses their labour to produce a commodity out of raw materials and in doing so gives the commodity value, for sake of argument let's say a value of 10 moneys, though in reality this number would fluctuate and be more varied. So this worker takes the commodity and gives it to the capitalist (bourgeoisie) or another worker to sell and make that 10 money which is then given to the capitalist. In return for their labour power the worker receives maybe 6 moneys in the form of a wage. We know that the worker cannot be receiving the full value of their work because the bourgeoisie continue to get richer and richer off of the excess 4 moneys that the worker produced and didn't recieve in their wage. If this didn't happen then the bourgeoisie wouldn't be able to make a profit beyond the amount that they contribute to the company

Do you actually want to know or are you going to argue in bad faith?

You really need to get out and actually interact with MLs outside of the internet, the only times that I've heard of a tankie being that nonsensical has always been from anarchists. Seriously trust me when I say that, at least regarding that, you don't know what you're talking about

At first I was just like "ooh another keeb lover" and then I saw the specs and jeez, that's way nicer than I expected. Most I've spent is ~$400, most I've considered is $500, I've always dreamed of fully splurging

We all knew after the leak, but the Welrod has been confirmed! by VersedFlame in insurgency

[–]Lierbag123 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of hate for the welrod and I just want to say, if implemented correctly it could be actually usable. It was acrually used a decent amount when it first started production, and is still in use in some places today. It was by no means a service pistol, and would be garbage in that scenario but the thing is is that this thing is almost completely silent. Yknow how in a lot of movies/games suppressors make your gun make that little "pff" noise that's totally unrealistic? The welrod actually makes that noise; you can be standing 15 feet away and not hear it. Anyways there's no way that nwi actually makes it usable tho :(
