The missiles targeting hospitals and schools are just for you!

Cop skull is real

Liberals seething rn

Yeah… Why punch up? We should leave old rich white people alone!

1 guy 1 jar.

Don’t look it up

People say ACAB because police are class traitors. They violently protect and serve the interest of capital.

Hovering my foot several inches above a live bear trap is also not being in the bear trap.

You better believe I’m keeping my focus on not stepping down on it, and it will be unpleasant to constantly think about it and micromanage not stepping down. My foot is not caught, the bear trap isn’t “real” or “really hurting my foot”, yet this still takes a real toll.

Maybe all the sanctions on the country cutting it off from basically everyone else has something to do with it, assuming it’s even true.

She’s just a grifter, that’s it. It feels pretty clear she cares more about her business, success, and wealth more than Charlie… but that’s totally fair because I can empathize with not liking Charlie Kirk.

This is why you aren’t a billionaire. You aren’t a sociopathic husk of a human.

While I agree with you, this post doesn’t really have any framing of our duopoly. Dragging this post into electoral politics doesn’t seem constructive

It’s OK. I’m just describing these systems from a Marxist lens. As in, I’m not being prescriptive, but descriptive of how these processes work and their definitions. Your confusion is normal as there’s a lot of incentive to obfuscate to protect those with wealth and private property. It’s also not exactly simple either.

And to clarify what I meant, it was more anti-“people who own capital / owner” rather than anti-“capitalist system” exactly. The most anti capitalist system would be the workers themselves owning the tools, buildings, property, etc; collectively and with democratic control of the workplace. Obviously the above described where workers collectively bargain is closer in that direction but the capital owner still ultimately remains in control of the company and assets.

Profit definitionally is value extracted from laborers. I own a factory. For every $40 of materials, and $40 dollars of labor, I can sell a product for $100 dollars. I definitionally made profit of $20 simply for owning the property it happens in.

You’ll notice there is an incentive to pay less to labor in order to make more profit. Labor wants to work the least amount of effort for the most amount of money, and capitalists want the most labor for the least amount of money. It’s an adversarial relationship. Any gains to claw back more profits will necessarily be adversarial and technically anti-capitalist.

There’s only one goal, profit / capital maximization. Everything else is secondary or in service of that end, such as efficiency.

A for-profit health insurance industry is deeply inefficient but very profitable for example.

Working for a wage is very capitalist. By that I mean that capitalist owns the capital and rents labor hours for less than what will be made from them.

Wage labor is one of the core tenents of capitalism.

But what if a bunch of defense contractors made a ton of money huh? Didn’t think of that did you?

Pure evil

1. Sorry, US vassal, my bad.
2. Pol pot wasn’t a communist and basically no communists claim him. If he was, why would the most anti communist country (the US) fund him with 80 million dollars at the time, after the atrocities were known? Let me guess, you believe the national socialists in Germany were actually socialists too?

And anti-intellectualism still alive and well in the US… You love to see it.

I voted PSL actually.

Also you don’t know this is the lesser pain option, a second time line is conveniently imaginary.
