Look, can I level with you? What do YOU think your goal is here? Are you trying to educate me? Radicalise me in the opposite direction? Or just “win”?
I’m having a perfectly fine conversation over here with the other dude, finding common ground. What have you added to that conversation? Do you think you are being persuasive? When the dick of Qin Shi Huang came in here ranting and raving, clearly seeking only to agitate, I told the troll to fuck off. Here, you seem to be sending very mixed messages. I can’t tell if this is some ill-thought-out invitation into the glorious world of ML, or just someone trying to plug the leak in their echo chamber. You denigrate me, then try to convince me. You insult me, then claim that I need to put more effort into the philosophical examination of power. What do YOU think your goal is here?
By the way, I tried to read Marx. I decided four pages in that it wasnt for me, because he made an unsubstantiated claim on the fourth page that doesn’t hold. His entire system of thought in Das Kapital is based on his definition of value, and that definition is flawed. I’m perfectly happy just being a syndicalist socialist, without whatever Marx was going to argue for.
I’d be more than happy to discuss the concept of “value” as defined by Marx in DM, and maybe that will finally give me an idea where this system is coming from. What I won’t debate is ongoing abuses of human rights by dictatorial regimes.
