The opposition party needs to be full of useful idiots, who will do whatever they’re told no matter what it costs their credibility. It’s an entire party of clueless.

This tracks. My bank app, cash app, and venmo, all have integrated crypto now.

Hrm, must have not been running. That’s its only job.

Her failing to court the grill guy demographic is costing her the election.

Highly recommend setting up syncthing on at least 2 devices. Then you never have to worry, as it’s automatic.

Yesterday, I announced that, as president, I’ll establish a school prayer program for senior citizens who open a coal mine that operates for 7 months in the Blockchain.

Yesterday, I announced that, as president, I’ll establish a gay adoption program for Keto dieters who open a wing joint that operates for 5 years in the airport lounge.

When you’ve been killing gradeschoolers armed with rocks for years, anything else must seem like a super-soldier.

The US definitely kept slavery in a limited form, and even though a few industries/products/services are produced with prison slave labor, it doesn’t come close to the capitalist sector.

Wage labor allows a higher rate of surplus value extraction by turning not just bodies, but labor power itself into a commodity. It also absolves employers of the need to feed, house, and pay for sleeping and non-work time of the person, now only needing to account for their active working hours.

Discovering this seemed to come along naturally with industrialization and more mobile capital requiring more mobile labor. Its part of the stable transition from feudalism -> capitalism, mostly starting in Britain and spreading to the rest of western europe.

Pretty funny that nearly all non-marxist economic value theories are based on utility, IE joy points. Very scientific, yes.

BlackRedGuard and a bunch of other ultras consider cuba “soviet compradors” or a “soviet colony”. But ya I agree with everyone else, ultraleftists have no consistent policy when it comes to who they denounce, which is usually why they also denounce each other with 20+ page long incomprehensible maoist diatribes.

Former code pink sounds right, the code pink comrades don’t let liberals in.
