It’s too bad bill burr has a naive view here of why disasters happen, why wars happen, why malicious people wholly incompatible with humanity accrue power, etc. Someone get this man some theory.

is it just me or does this article appear to be llm generated, and apparently written by a fake author that also seems to be generated?

edit- so this is supposed to be the author…

Yep and that’s why the evil GDR and USSR still exist, because they brutally used their huge militaries and extensive secret spy networks to kill all those protestors.

Did you read the article posted? even these shit ass liberals admit that state repression against these movements was minimal, except they still have to couch that fact in the same old tired anticommunist lies we’ve heard for years… “Well no one was really hurt… But they could have been! The government was so scary, and had authority, and was total!”

Wow another article painting the GDR as “authoritarian” without interrogating what that actually means or a comparison to West Germany.

The people gathered to demand freedom and democracy and then everything was good again.

I mean really

If we’re gonna ascribe WW2 victory to one particular country or front it’s hands down going to the Soviet Union

Alternate title for the glib- Six clowns condemn seventh’s circus act. Take a look at the works and ideas these people put forward, and they are really only marginally less serious than trump when it comes to helping the poor or building a welfare net.

Also, these aren’t Nobel winners, as in winners of the original categories stipulated by Nobel. Instead they were awarded the Nobel Memorial prize in economics, which was started by the Swedish Central Bank in 1968. It’s purpose was to redirect popular and academic attention back towards liberal theories, instead of towards alternatives (ie.Marxists), by way of providing a fake academic gloss and placing economists like Friedman and Hayek on the same level of import as Einstein or Martin Luther King.

It’s not a long essay but man it sucks shit lol

Not sure, I don’t remember seeing them on the ballot.

Communist Party of Canada called it a genocide too, they got my vote. For Singh I think it was a case of far too little and far too late.

Jagmeet Singh, leader of the federal NDP in Canada, has officially conceded defeat in his riding which has been taken by the Liberals.

The NDP itself is also losing official party status as they were unable to gain 12 or more seats, and will be unable to access certain funds and lose special parliamentary privileges.

Since their high water mark of being the Official Opposition after the 2011 election under Jack Layton, the NDP has triangulated itself to what we see today: a party that refused to leave the shadow of the Liberals.

This piece of shit played every 5 minutes on tv during each Canadian hockey game and every time i saw it i got a little more

I’d say that historically fascism is a somewhat nebulous term that tries to cover a few disparate movements, but generally speaking has been a capitalist response to a rising domestic communist movement, and so in Marxism has a very specific/scientific meaning in that regard. So without that movement in the United States currently existing Trump doesn’t qualify in my opinion.

getting head from c-3po I call that golden dome

Clara Mattei (author of The Capital Order) has become the Director for Heterodox Economics in Tulsa Oklahoma, and last weekend they had their inaugural conference.

Michael Roberts covers it in more detail here.

Sad that they don’t just make it a straight up school of Marxism, but I guess that’s probably not an easy sell to donor-alumni. But at least one cool thing came from the conference so far: a database tracking the rate of profit in different countries/sectors.

Really hope they aren’t trying to say that linguistic influence from other cultures makes a language “cucked”

Gonna go out on a limb and say you don’t actually hate the ultra right as much as us lmao

It’s not a whole book, but I would refer you to chapter 4 of Michael Roberts book on capital crises and profitability. That chapter deals specifically with the commonly defined western neoliberal era. If you like that bit, then I’d recommend the entire thing if you want to know why and how crises are generated as a baked in symptom of capitalism in its search for profitability.

Otherwise, I know David Harvey has a book called a Brief History of Neoliberalism. I read it a few years ago but can’t remember enough to specifically recommend it. Worth noting that Harvey doesn’t consider himself to technically be a Marxist afaik.
