Okay. I have just no idea about how things are in Russia, so please just forgive me if I am being ignorant or something...

so i shouldn't feel bad for studying finance?

?

will you live according to proletarian interests?

Lenin was a nobleman

he could live like an aristocrat

what do you guys think about dudes that push porsches or drive bmws?

i didnt finish my thought

finish it rn

Cake

bourgeoisie can be petit bourgeois, self employed or regular bourgeois (that doesnt have to work himself)

and proletariat has a subclass labor aristocracy

which are priveleged workers who work for wage but they live in better conditions

so basically

petit bourgeois can live poorer than labor aristocracy

would bill gates be the ultimate bourgeois?

poor peasant can live way worse life than high qualified worker on a factory

i dont know much about him

but basically

there can be bourgeois with proletarian interests

and proletarian with bourgeois interests

when poor peasant goes on war with kulaks and whiteguards, he is following proletarian interests

even if he is petit bourgeois

when worker of USA joins army to invade vietnam or any other country that was invaded by the US

he is proletarian who follows bourgeois interests

@Garlic the Soviet that is true. There was millions of petite-burgs joining Soviet Party.

On the basis of low income

you are not ultimately rich parasite that needs to die if you are bourgeois, and you are not the ultimate hero revolutionary if you are proletarian

what do you guys think about dudes that own porsches?

i think they are mostly scum

but that depends i think

some people are just fooled

if you live in a priviliged imperialist country you can simply be not aware of why you live such a good life

its hard to blame someone for not knowing something

people in imperialist countries would be more revolutionary if they would see the exploitation of 3rd world out of their window

@Mawk one life cost 15.000$ That is the cost of a surgery for heart for the newborn in China. When I see somebody driving a 150.000$ car I shake.

what do you guys think about the neolib argument that states that opening up these factories in third world countries actually improves the quality of life when compared to what they would have been doing before (subsistence farming)?

You can drive 15.000 car and save lives

@Mawk that is true

but isn't that just furthering exploitation?

@Mawk if you are exploited it doesn't mean you are living worse than before.
