  • Capitalism in it’s true form was “I give you this, you give me that”

    So you believe capitalism existed all the way back during the neolithic and beyond, were cavemen “true capitalists”? Capital isn’t a set of goods simply traded between people, it’s circulating money tied to productive property or alienated assets

    Primitive exchange of goods requires the goods becoming the means and the ends even if money is an intermediary, under capitalism it’s capital (i.e. money) that becomes the end, while goods may or may not be the means of generation, and since money is the sole metric of success there must a set of people who work for capitalists to create that money and reproduce themselves, since goods are hidden behind said money





  • To be fair, those kinds of “anarchists” are just confused social liberals with no real theoretical grounding, it would be like comparing MLs to the worst of the neocon pseudo-trots who populate so much of western marxian space

    It’s never a good idea to succumb to sectarianism for the sake of dunking on what is essentially an online “posting-style” Marxists of any type have to focus on the real and actual conditions of capitalism, not on old ghosts or liberals engaging in radical kayfabe

    There are real anarchists out there, they’re just not online



  • Religion in France is racialized as it is in most parts of the world, pretending otherwise is just a denial of reality and history, the French state couldn’t care less for secularism on its own merits, it only cares about religion in the context of the eternal “immigrant” communities who it refuses to actually integrate because of the continuous French colonial mindset and a 19th century conception of frenchness which is centered around white pan-europeanism

    If secularism was the point, the french state would have launched a social crusade against the Catholic church decades ago

    It’s not a coincidence the law was implemented in 2004 at the height of the war on terror
