ROFL

2020-01-05 04:18:27 UTC  

Lmao

2020-01-05 04:18:35 UTC  

Ok hold on

2020-01-05 04:18:46 UTC  

What do you mean by “scientific”?

2020-01-05 04:18:49 UTC  

Its ideological pillars include historical materialism, dialectical materialism, and political economy.

2020-01-05 04:18:50 UTC  

How is it scientific lmao. It's the opposite it isn't empirical at all

2020-01-05 04:19:07 UTC  

Yeah I know a bit about communism

2020-01-05 04:19:13 UTC  

Not a expert

2020-01-05 04:19:27 UTC  

Marxism is a critique of capitalist political economy.

2020-01-05 04:20:22 UTC  

Some phenomenon that have been correctly observed and scientifically proven include concepts such as surplus value extraction, the labor theory of value, the falling rate of profit, the necessity of revolution historically, the fact that as time goes on, the more advanced a capitalist country becomes

2020-01-05 04:20:30 UTC  

the more its mode of production begins to resemble socialism.

2020-01-05 04:20:59 UTC  

Your use of scientific is weird, I don’t imagine politics as scientific.

2020-01-05 04:21:02 UTC  

Marx was wrong about some things here and there, but overall his theory holds up.

2020-01-05 04:21:25 UTC  

Scientific as in it is concerned with what is provable, testable, and objectively verifiable.

2020-01-05 04:21:29 UTC  

I imagine politics as a human interaction to change the flow of power

2020-01-05 04:21:35 UTC  

And most concepts in marxism can be observed and verified.

2020-01-05 04:21:53 UTC  

Ok so let’s see, are you a Nazbol?

2020-01-05 04:22:05 UTC  

Marxist-Leninist.

2020-01-05 04:22:11 UTC  

Ok

2020-01-05 04:22:19 UTC  

Are you culturally far left?

2020-01-05 04:22:31 UTC  

LGBTQ, pro trans, pro choice

2020-01-05 04:23:25 UTC  

>provable, testable, and objectively verifiable
does any of this control for genes?

2020-01-05 04:23:40 UTC  

You are a internationalist so you do believe there shouldn’t be any borders on the planet?

2020-01-05 04:23:48 UTC  

Because it’s a form of apartheid

2020-01-05 04:24:51 UTC  

It's kinda weird that marx was a fan of darwin all things considered

2020-01-05 04:24:59 UTC  

Why?

2020-01-05 04:25:15 UTC  

What does genes have to do with political economy?

2020-01-05 04:25:27 UTC  

Culturally, im nominally left.

2020-01-05 04:25:32 UTC  

genes impact everything

2020-01-05 04:25:35 UTC  

Political economy

2020-01-05 04:25:53 UTC  

i put more faith in genes in regards to outcomes than correlating any political system

2020-01-05 04:25:57 UTC  

Uh man you’re going to have to tell me what this means

2020-01-05 04:26:13 UTC  

I think marx actually sent das kapital to darwin for him to give his thoughts. Darwin never responded lmao

2020-01-05 04:26:20 UTC  

They do, but maybe you reich-wingers should be more concerned with the entire strain of DNA that makes you human over the single strain that dictates skin color.

2020-01-05 04:26:29 UTC  

lol

2020-01-05 04:26:36 UTC  

Marx understood that different ethnic groups did better than others

2020-01-05 04:26:38 UTC  

its not just skin color

2020-01-05 04:26:43 UTC  

that's racist

2020-01-05 04:26:44 UTC  

Though he was wrong on which ones

2020-01-05 04:26:45 UTC  

Political economy: is the study of production and trade and their relations with law, custom and government; and with the distribution of national income and wealth.

2020-01-05 04:26:46 UTC  

if the differences were only skin deep, what a grand world that;d be
