@Deleted User Read rosa luxemburgs reform or revolution

this was exactly the issue they were discussing in the e̶a̶r̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶e̶i̶m̶a̶r̶ ̶r̶e̶p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶c̶ 1899

and she gave a fantastic retort to that kind of thinking

~~Do I smell Bordiga?~~

Her analysis is eerily applicable today i found

many of the things she writes about you can see first hand happening today

what does that have to do with anything @PugSlugger

if you think that then i find that kinda sad tbh

or you're just trolling, allright then

or we just dont care to engage with arguments that have no substance and would require you to have actual knowledge of marx and the argument you are attacking

I read the whole thing

it has nothing to do with money

the market economy is the exploitative part

not the paying the worker less than he makes

you don't have to force people to pay anything for the goods you create

if you don't rely on exchange to acquire your neccesities

only in a market economy friend

it's not the only way things can be

A market economy is a system whereby you exchange your labor power for money which allows you to purchase your necessities in a free market

but the only free thing about the market is who you buy from, you are not free to NOT use the market

maybe if everyone calls your posts bait then it's time to reconsider your life choices

yeet

"stupid commies stop calling everything I post bait"
"maybe you should think about why they call it bait"
"FUCK OFF NIGGER"

Capitalism evolved around the early enlightenment period i believe as cities became more important trade and financial centers and a class of wealthy and influential merchants and investors emerged and more and more working people migrated to the cities.

truly intellectual

Then what is your answer

enlighten us, oh big-brain man

nonsense

mesopotamia was a planned economy

everything was set by the ruling class

oh is this that libertarian "capitalism is when you are free and shit" bullshit?

how much wheat you grow and how many shoes you make

was administrated by a bureaucracy

which we have evidence of

since they had writing

and we found artifacts

https://www.ancient.eu/Mesopotamia/

"The gods were thought to be present in the planning and execution of any building project and very specific prayers, recited in a set order to the proper deity, were considered of utmost importance in the success of the project and the prosperity of the occupants of the home."

mesopotamia was a theocracy

it was planned top-down to please the gods

>central planning is capitalist
