Only in the places where the hair was supposed to be (scalp, armpits, genitalia), the rest is usual girl skin, obviously. Well, maybe legs are somewhat wrinkly too.
I think Trump's priorities are 1) Repeal Obamacare 2) Build the Wall 3) Make Waifus Real, but I might have gotten that from a disreputable source like CNN.
Associating with 8chan will result in a ban.
Defending creepy objectifying anime will result in a ban.
This is 100% completely uncontroversial. If you're a fan of /leftypol/ that's your prerogative. If you're a fan of creepy objectifying anime drawings, that's your prerogative. But you're not welcome to be either of those things in this sub.
Hahahaha their sub is a prime example of how socialism/communism turns nations into authoritarian dictatorship shitholes, where you're branded as an (insert buzzword here) if you go against status quo, and you must therefore be physically removed.
It's a really great book if you're 16. You should stop talking about it around 24 or 25, or people may suspect you haven't read anything since high school :/
It's no big deal to a advocate murder or genocide for all those problematic untermensch because power + privilege, but don't you dare call someone a stupid-head.
The Don doesn't ban people for saying the wrong thing, it bans people for not saying the right thing. And the right thing is always "yummy yummy I like Trumpy cummies in my tummy".
But as far as I know they won't ban you for being a furry.
But as far as I know they won't ban you for being a furry.
Specifically for that, no. But the question asked if there were other forums that were as oppressive - I didn't realise they meant surrounding that particular area, my bad :)
/r/the_Donald was my first thought, but they just ban you for shutting on Donald, and not all this far reaching ableism/catgirls/police sympathy stuff to the point where you're just tiptoeing over all these ban words that are completely normal everywhere else.
I got permabanned for disagreeing with a person who said there's a difference between "gays" (who stay in the closets where they belong) and "faggots" and only the first are okay and should be allowed.
People were arguing about that very thing the other day on T_D and the pro-gay rights side had way more upvotes. There are crazies in every group (and many in that group). Maybe you ran across a crazy mod.
Yep. This has become pretty common with a lot of behaviors, "Pepe = white nationalism" being one of the more-egregious recent examples. It's basically "people I dislike tend to exhibit idiosyncratic behavior X, so if you can stop doing X and refuse to do so then it's okay for me to dislike and punish you." It can justify pretty much any sort of arbitrary tribalistic hoop-jumping.
In my opinion it boils down to the issue that "social justice" has gone completely off the rails.
It has become a contest to find the most and newest forms off oppression, and to be the most oppressed group. So to be a leader in the SJ circles, you have to be the most proactive at pointing out oppression, and then tie that oppression to your own life.
Nevermind that women are literally possessions in countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia,this woman is drawing women with cat ears!
We need a solution to the commie problem before its too late tbhqw
I'm pretty sure when the roving gangs of Bolsheviks scrawny hipster kids show up to start shit I'll be able to kill at least a few of them with my bare hands no matter how old I've gotten or how far I've let myself go.
to be fair there's not really a way to implement a socialist system in reddit, also most Political subs usually have shitty authoritarian mods, and if they dont they have 10 subcribers, /r/socialism sucks though.
Hahahaha their sub is a prime example of how socialism/communism turns nations into authoritarian dictatorship shitholes, where you're branded as an (insert buzzword here) if you go against status quo, and you must therefore be physically removed.
How exactly does socialism foster those kind of things?
Oh no not true socialismtm , that can only possibly result in fully automated luxury utopia. I'm talking about the real life applications, and how people's opinions get marginalized in the never ending goal to have the most pure ideology, as can be seen here.
That happens in tons of ideologies, what about socialism supposedly makes it more susceptible to that?
I never said its the most prone, i said that in most cases where it has been applied, this ideology devolved into authoritarianism, much like what we're seeing in the sub today.
And let's be real whether you think catgirls are misogynistic (which is stupid), has nothing to do with how socialist you are.
That's true, but I'm sure that if you ask most socialists, they'll tell you that the ideology isn't solely economic. With socialism, and especially online, everyone tries to be ultra-perfect by following the "purest" for of the ideology that they can find, so naturally this leads to purity tests, countless internal divisions, and people being locked up and in some cases killed because they are deemed to be "bad" by the system for going against whatever type of perfect socialism is running the government.
When asked whether or not we are marxists , our position is the same as that of a physicist or a biologist when asked if he is a Newtonian, or if he is a Pasteurian. There are truths so evident, so much a part of people's knowledge, that it is now useless to discuss them
Che Guevera
It's a little known fact but there's more to that quote
other things that it is useless to discuss: the fact that catgirls are misogynist, marxist ideology, anime is trash, gamers are dead
All their tryhard quotes make it even more hilarious when they're having serious arguments about the most inane shit ever.
Che thought that Marxism would be self-evident, because its truth is so obvious. However, it is now known that Marx' economic theory's have been almost completely dismissed. You still have some, like Richard Wolff, but they're almost extinct.
no, no, you're doing it again - you've just repeated the meaningless thing again but not explained what you're trying to say - actually you've made it worse by suggesting that Richard Wolff who is a person is one of Marx's economic theories? you know that economic theories and people are different things? like really quite different...
Try and use words that make sense to express what you're trying to say...
no but this is the thing it's not obvious, i mean it's obvious that you're just saying something you think is clever and cool sounding but it's totally and utter nonsense and you can't even come close to defending it or saying it in a way that makes it clear because it's clearly idiotic.
i don't know if you realise this but you've linked to your own inbox with every post you've made, not sure what you're aiming for?
but yeah, why are those things confusing to you? someone said something that was objectively stupid and i pointed out it was stupid and they're just saying meaningless words, that's what happens in drama, have you ever been here before? and yes i mod over sixty subs many of them are awesome, /r/pompandpatriot for example which could do with some more songs if anyone knows some good ones...
no it's objectively stupid, it's totally absurd from a factual basis which is why not a single person here can say anything beside empty words that translate to 'you're wrong but i won't tell you why...'
prove what? That people still take Marx seriously? that's like proving air still exists, you just need to look anywhere and it's obvious - heh, China for a start...
To say Marx's theories are debunked is like saying Newtonian Physics is debunked - yes they've evolved a lot in the last hundred and fifty years of course they have, they're as fundamental to the modern perspective as Adam Smith or to use an example people are more familiar with Darwin - saying that Marx is discredited is like saying Darwin is discredited and trying to use it to prove creationism because if Darwin didn't get it perfect then we don't need to think about all the actual meat and potatoes of the issue we can just close our eyes and wish it away...
What about China. Just saying "Look at China" proves nothing and is just empty words.
most assigned economist in U.S. college classes
Yeah. To educate people on historical theories that have since been debunked. If the hostory of a flat earth is taught in college, that doesn't mean flat earth theroies have weight.
You've used an awful lot of words to prove and say nothing.
look at china, i.e. someone said Marxism isn't prominent in the world yet the richest and most powerful country in the world's government is based on his theories - i mean what more could you possibly ask for?
and yes i know who Deng Xiaoping is, do you?
If the history of a flat earth is taught in college,
which of course it isn't because things don't work like that, you really think that in college they spend the most time teaching you stuff that's considered wrong? wild stab in the dark here, but never went to college did you? did you even finish school?
just stomping you feet and saying you're very smart isn't going to wash, i've clearly demonstrated the original assertion is false so either come with something sensible or give up.
Proof. You're just saying things and not backing them up with actual evidence.
which of course it isn't because things don't work like that, you really think that in college they spend the most time teaching you stuff that's considered wrong?
Your right, when they teach Newtonian Physics they never go into what was believed beforehand or what they disproved. They just say "Newton said this, we decided he was right and you should to. I mean, proving Newtonian Physics is like proving air exists."
Which brings us to our next point: Your claiming that Marxist Economics are a self-evident truth. Is it just you saying this? Who else is saying these things? Can you cite sources besides "No, China tho"? All these U.S colleges studying Socialist market economy must have some papers on the subject you can link to? Quote even?
Better still, the existence of self-evident truth is debatable at best. Even the existence of oxygen isn't self-evident, there's proof.
but never went to college did you?
Yeah. I did. Both in my home country and here. Have you? Did you get a Associate, Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate degree? Are you in your first year? Or did you study Econ 101 in your first semester, around the same time you became a Che fanboy and started listening to Rage Against the Machine and just latched on to Marxism without any actual thought, but just because you thought it seemed cool?
just stomping you feet and saying you're very smart
saying /r/iamverysmart is a jab aimed at you, not a compliment aimed towards myself.
i've clearly demonstrated the original assertion is false
No, you haven't. You made claims, said "It's sooooo obvious" haven't linked to any proof and then said "I win."
Your claiming that Marxist Economics are a self-evident truth.
yeah, i mean do you even know what you're talking about here? viewing things in terms of labour rather than simply capital is, since Marx, a fundamental and basic understanding which is present in every single economic theory from Keynes to Sweezy - to deny this is like denying genetics -- the entire rest of biology relies upon it, you can't just cut it out because you're scared of the word.
saying /r/iamverysmart is a jab aimed at you, not a compliment aimed towards myself.
yes, i understand this and what you're saying with it is that i only think i'm smart but you actually are very smart, see how it works? you're trying to put yourself as some form of expert or exceptional mind but actually you've not offered anything at all to prove you understand a single thing about this - actually from your total lack of background knowledge you've made it very obvious you know nothing at all about any of this and are only saying what you want to be true or think should be true based on opinions you already hold, no doubt absurd right-wing fear-mongering about how any attempt to make a better world is actually evil and only by letting the corporations control our lives like a new feudalism will we ever be happy...
if you want to learn economics then lean economics, but expecting me to produce endless amounts of evidence for you to ignore is just stupid - as stated the very existence of China alone is enough to totally rubbish the claim made, and isn't it interesting you're keen to accept that claim with absolutely no evidence...
why are you willing to believe his empty claim that all of marx has been debunked without any evidence but are demanding such high levels of evidence from me? you've already got such things as it being an important part of all economics courses in the US, china existing, and the first paragraph of the wikipedia article on Marx which states 'His work has since influenced subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history.' now you want me to go and find you academic papers that say 'the sky is blue and water is wet' if you want to know if marx is still influential then why not learn about what he actually said and why his ideas were, and still are, so important?
Hey, yeah, so until I see links to papers, or names of people advocating Marxist economics, all of this is just a whole lot of empty bullshit being said by a nobody on the internet, so...
So what's your next little hoop you want me to jump through before you admit that the person who said the thing you wish was true is actually an idiot?

So does that mean Loveless is trash misogyny cuz of cat ears?
This is the weirdest reason to ban someone. Also, isn't snooping into someone's private life / art to ban them for not conforming
to your ideals pretty much a mcarthyism? Is socialism just a cesspool of hypocrisy? More at 11.
Of course democracy is good but there have to be limits on democracy. The ideal shouldn't be direct democracy or even representative democracy (once you spend five minutes talking to the average Trump/Sanders voter you start to wonder what about them is worth representing) but rather managed democracy. I'm okay with giving people some input but there have to be adults in the room so things don't get out of hand.
Strangely enough, years ago, in the London-based anarchist newspaper "Freedom", there was a female cartoon cat called "Wildcat".
The anarchists then didn't seem to have a problem with a female cat personification.
This is the shark-jumping moment for /r/socialism. I would suggest a mass unsubscribing from the sub and a move to one of the alternative left subs. The mods are either agents provocateurs or trolls at this point.
i do kinda agree that the mods of /r/socialism and many other leftist groups are very clearly agent provocateurs or idiots who make the whole movement look bad, also most the Clinton staffers i've interacted with are actively trying to make the left look elitist and stuck in the past, the berniebros are trying to make everyone look like petulant children. the guardian is run by crypto-corporatists, etc, etc...
However they're not as quite as good at making ourselves look stupid as the_don or Donald himself. or the Bush administration, the Gop, fox, breitbart and etc...
Really you kinda just gotta wonder if it's not actually just humanity that sucks rather than one or other of the major political schema...
but if you can't see the difference between Wildcat and the hyper sexualised and infantised depictions of 'cat girls' then you're literally thinker than all over the above.
ok i have to agree that this is on the safe side - certainly the artist [though i don't entirely agree with her politics entirely] clearly isn't producing them to make bank by demeaning women but is creating fun, educational and socially responsible artworks for the benefit of the ideological cause she believes in.
I really do dislike the mods of /r/socialism and every time they ban me we have the same conversation about how quickly they race towards the most extreme and powerful tool in their arsenal which in this case is banning but were they to wield real power it'd be secret police and gulangs... I quote people like Huxley, Hesse, Hugo they quote, oh no wai- they don't have any arguments so they just block me or use infantile insults to try and demean me from their ivory towers...
but i digress, your question which really interested me was the sexual phobia of the american left, as a European it's strikingly obvious to me firstly that this isn't just the american left it's every possible strand of american culture especially the movies and porn industry - a sex phobic porn industry? yes. Obviously as a Brit i'm from an even more reserved culture yet one which by-and-large is much more relaxed about sexuality and sex than america is by-and-large...
I think one of the key issues in america is that culturally it's a very insecure country, everyone on the planet knows that America's culture is acultural especially Americans and I think this is why they're either very nervous or pompous around the subject -
So what i'm getting at is that the left are quick to hate anything they associate with the right, anything that might look like america is a 'right wing country' while the right is deranged in that it's opposed to anything that might make it look like a left wing nation - they're trying to force their view of the world onto the world, thus otherwise nice people who vote right will angrily attack noble organisations doing important work like Planned Parenthood simply because it smells a bit too leftwing for them and they want to live in somewhere that's rightwing while the left will stomp on the faces of retards for calling someone stupid because it doesn't matter who gets hurt it only matters that our flag is more prominent than theres....
ugh and now i've mentioned it i have to say that /r/socialisms abalist policy is fucking stupid it really is - which section of society is most likely to have limited vocabularies? which portion of society is least skilled at policing their emotions and and expressions? which portion of society is lest able to argue in their defence when accused? to express themselves and their intent using the new and artificial set of words? RETARDS. If your cognitive skills, educational development or social abilities are retarded then you're more likely to be excluded by these rules... I personally have been banned from /r/socialism because i got carried away and expressed myself too clearly, they didn't care about me as a person and when i tried to talk to them they even mocked my 'disability' [in speech marks because it's obvious to everyone my disability has resulted in me being smarter than most people] - it's not about the people, not about the ideals it's about making it seem like your team is top of the pole, about saying whatever it takes to win the round...
i mean another strong example is pizzagate, they were all saying things like 'it's so disgusting he would make a hashtag killoom joke about a wipe clean freezer room! he must be some form of degenerate freak!' then thirty seconds later they're in /r/pics making dead baby rape jokes or shitposting goroporn all over /b/ -- they don't actually believe what they're saying they're just playing their part...
What i'm saying is that political ideology in america is largely farce, it's a form of status signalling rather than ideological drive - i'll return to your poets to conclude my statement for me;
COME, I will make the continent indissoluble;
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon;
I will make divine magnetic lands,
With the love of comrades,
With the life-long love of comrades.
I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of
America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies;
I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about each other's necks;
By the love of comrades,
By the manly love of comrades.
For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you, ma femme!
For you! for you, I am trilling these songs,
In the love of comrades,
In the high-towering love of comrades.
na brews, i went to school outside America, in our schools 2500 words was the question not the essay...
haha no i went to british comp, we didn't get question we got beaten down and shoved towards factory and service jobs lol.
I guess what i'm saying is that you don't have to be who you were born to be, you can be the person you make yourself and if you want to write long shitposts about american politics and pornography is degenerate corners of the internet then do it and do it one handed while jerking over your own verbosity if it pleases you for it's impossible to make the whole universe happy and hard enough just to make a tiny speck of it feel joy, if you can take pleasure in yourself then at least the little bit of the universe that knows you best loves you and really what else matters?
I think the rise of the alt-right in a way is an escape from that. It's like a child learning to use a toy for the first time, people are going - wait we can just say the thing we believe? And things will actually change? We don't have to spend all our time sniping for "hypocrisy" or watching out for people doing these historically cliche "ultimate evils"? A lot of new terminology being spawned on the right in the same way. I cringe when I see socialists calling each other "comrades" like they're already so defeated they need to roleplay as a historical fantasy like their politics is an elite club of friends.
ugh and now i've mentioned it i have to say that /r/socialisms [sic] abalist policy is fucking stupid it really is
Jeez yes the announcement thread on that reads like a parody. And then you get to watch groups argue, mainly for their own intellectual pleasure, over insignificant possibilities of hurt feelings. Meanwhile there's a 50 ton nazi train steaming down the lines at them. They need some kind of massive shock to the system and it's mind boggling to me that BREXIT/Trump etc hasn't been enough.
r/socialism is just privledged white kids playing at socialism, thinking Communism is a fun idea. If they ever came to Europe, they'd be laughed at. The anarchists here Do. Not. Fuck. Around. They do not play at all.
Someone explain to me what the fuck socialism even is. I always thought it was just about stuff like free healthcare but apparantly it's on one side about sjw garbage and on the other side only two steps away from having gulags.
"....this is what men of principle and systematic planners can't help doing. A principle is, by definition, #right#; a plan #for the good of the people# . Axioms for which it logically follows that those who disagree with you and won't help to realize your plan are enemies of goodness and humanity. No longer men and women, but personifications of evil, fiends incarnate. Killing men and women is wrong; but killing fiends is a duty." -Aldous Huxley -Eyeless in Gaza (1936)
A mod just created a thread where he confirms that he has no idea why people are upset and doubling down on the same excuses. The mods are seriously detached from reality.
I wonder how Lenin would react if he found out that not only would communism collapse, but that the communists of the future would be busy fighting each other over pictures of cat girls.

The Don doesn't ban people for saying the wrong thing, it bans people for not saying the right thing. And the right thing is always "yummy yummy I like Trumpy cummies in my tummy".
But as far as I know they won't ban you for being a furry.
n/a Dragons_are_pretty_c 2017-01-13
Specifically for that, no. But the question asked if there were other forums that were as oppressive - I didn't realise they meant surrounding that particular area, my bad :)
n/a autistitron 2017-01-13
/r/the_Donald was my first thought, but they just ban you for shutting on Donald, and not all this far reaching ableism/catgirls/police sympathy stuff to the point where you're just tiptoeing over all these ban words that are completely normal everywhere else.

Yep. This has become pretty common with a lot of behaviors, "Pepe = white nationalism" being one of the more-egregious recent examples. It's basically "people I dislike tend to exhibit idiosyncratic behavior X, so if you can stop doing X and refuse to do so then it's okay for me to dislike and punish you." It can justify pretty much any sort of arbitrary tribalistic hoop-jumping.

n/a iforgotagain42 2017-01-13
In my opinion it boils down to the issue that "social justice" has gone completely off the rails.
It has become a contest to find the most and newest forms off oppression, and to be the most oppressed group. So to be a leader in the SJ circles, you have to be the most proactive at pointing out oppression, and then tie that oppression to your own life.
Nevermind that women are literally possessions in countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia,this woman is drawing women with cat ears!

n/a rockidol 2017-01-13
How exactly does socialism foster those kind of things?
n/a DistortedLines 2017-01-13
Oh no not true socialismtm , that can only possibly result in fully automated luxury utopia. I'm talking about the real life applications, and how people's opinions get marginalized in the never ending goal to have the most pure ideology, as can be seen here.
n/a rockidol 2017-01-13
That happens in tons of ideologies, what about socialism supposedly makes it more susceptible to that?
And let's be real whether you think catgirls are misogynistic (which is stupid), has nothing to do with how socialist you are.
n/a DistortedLines 2017-01-13
I never said its the most prone, i said that in most cases where it has been applied, this ideology devolved into authoritarianism, much like what we're seeing in the sub today.
That's true, but I'm sure that if you ask most socialists, they'll tell you that the ideology isn't solely economic. With socialism, and especially online, everyone tries to be ultra-perfect by following the "purest" for of the ideology that they can find, so naturally this leads to purity tests, countless internal divisions, and people being locked up and in some cases killed because they are deemed to be "bad" by the system for going against whatever type of perfect socialism is running the government.

All their tryhard quotes make it even more hilarious when they're having serious arguments about the most inane shit ever.
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-01-13
That Che quote is also funny in retrospect, now that barely any economist still takes Marx seriously.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
that doesn't even make sense, what do you mean by that or is it just something you thought would be good to say?
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-01-13
Che thought that Marxism would be self-evident, because its truth is so obvious. However, it is now known that Marx' economic theory's have been almost completely dismissed. You still have some, like Richard Wolff, but they're almost extinct.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
no, no, you're doing it again - you've just repeated the meaningless thing again but not explained what you're trying to say - actually you've made it worse by suggesting that Richard Wolff who is a person is one of Marx's economic theories? you know that economic theories and people are different things? like really quite different...
Try and use words that make sense to express what you're trying to say...
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-01-13
It was pretty obvious from the get-go, and i can't be arsed to waste more time about it.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
no but this is the thing it's not obvious, i mean it's obvious that you're just saying something you think is clever and cool sounding but it's totally and utter nonsense and you can't even come close to defending it or saying it in a way that makes it clear because it's clearly idiotic.
n/a jenkem91 2017-01-13

i don't know if you realise this but you've linked to your own inbox with every post you've made, not sure what you're aiming for?
but yeah, why are those things confusing to you? someone said something that was objectively stupid and i pointed out it was stupid and they're just saying meaningless words, that's what happens in drama, have you ever been here before? and yes i mod over sixty subs many of them are awesome, /r/pompandpatriot for example which could do with some more songs if anyone knows some good ones...

Objectively: in a way that is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions.
Sounded a bit more subjective tbhqw.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
no it's objectively stupid, it's totally absurd from a factual basis which is why not a single person here can say anything beside empty words that translate to 'you're wrong but i won't tell you why...'
n/a CarcosianKing 2017-01-13
Prove it. Right now you're just using empty words.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
prove what? That people still take Marx seriously? that's like proving air still exists, you just need to look anywhere and it's obvious - heh, China for a start...
The school system is another good start, Karl Marx is the most assigned economist in U.S. college classes
To say Marx's theories are debunked is like saying Newtonian Physics is debunked - yes they've evolved a lot in the last hundred and fifty years of course they have, they're as fundamental to the modern perspective as Adam Smith or to use an example people are more familiar with Darwin - saying that Marx is discredited is like saying Darwin is discredited and trying to use it to prove creationism because if Darwin didn't get it perfect then we don't need to think about all the actual meat and potatoes of the issue we can just close our eyes and wish it away...
n/a CarcosianKing 2017-01-13
More empty words.
What about China. Just saying "Look at China" proves nothing and is just empty words.
Yeah. To educate people on historical theories that have since been debunked. If the hostory of a flat earth is taught in college, that doesn't mean flat earth theroies have weight.
You've used an awful lot of words to prove and say nothing.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
look at china, i.e. someone said Marxism isn't prominent in the world yet the richest and most powerful country in the world's government is based on his theories - i mean what more could you possibly ask for?
and yes i know who Deng Xiaoping is, do you?
which of course it isn't because things don't work like that, you really think that in college they spend the most time teaching you stuff that's considered wrong? wild stab in the dark here, but never went to college did you? did you even finish school?
just stomping you feet and saying you're very smart isn't going to wash, i've clearly demonstrated the original assertion is false so either come with something sensible or give up.
n/a CarcosianKing 2017-01-13
Proof. You're just saying things and not backing them up with actual evidence.
Your right, when they teach Newtonian Physics they never go into what was believed beforehand or what they disproved. They just say "Newton said this, we decided he was right and you should to. I mean, proving Newtonian Physics is like proving air exists."
Which brings us to our next point: Your claiming that Marxist Economics are a self-evident truth. Is it just you saying this? Who else is saying these things? Can you cite sources besides "No, China tho"? All these U.S colleges studying Socialist market economy must have some papers on the subject you can link to? Quote even?
Better still, the existence of self-evident truth is debatable at best. Even the existence of oxygen isn't self-evident, there's proof.
Yeah. I did. Both in my home country and here. Have you? Did you get a Associate, Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate degree? Are you in your first year? Or did you study Econ 101 in your first semester, around the same time you became a Che fanboy and started listening to Rage Against the Machine and just latched on to Marxism without any actual thought, but just because you thought it seemed cool?
saying /r/iamverysmart is a jab aimed at you, not a compliment aimed towards myself.
No, you haven't. You made claims, said "It's sooooo obvious" haven't linked to any proof and then said "I win."
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
yeah, i mean do you even know what you're talking about here? viewing things in terms of labour rather than simply capital is, since Marx, a fundamental and basic understanding which is present in every single economic theory from Keynes to Sweezy - to deny this is like denying genetics -- the entire rest of biology relies upon it, you can't just cut it out because you're scared of the word.
yes, i understand this and what you're saying with it is that i only think i'm smart but you actually are very smart, see how it works? you're trying to put yourself as some form of expert or exceptional mind but actually you've not offered anything at all to prove you understand a single thing about this - actually from your total lack of background knowledge you've made it very obvious you know nothing at all about any of this and are only saying what you want to be true or think should be true based on opinions you already hold, no doubt absurd right-wing fear-mongering about how any attempt to make a better world is actually evil and only by letting the corporations control our lives like a new feudalism will we ever be happy...
if you want to learn economics then lean economics, but expecting me to produce endless amounts of evidence for you to ignore is just stupid - as stated the very existence of China alone is enough to totally rubbish the claim made, and isn't it interesting you're keen to accept that claim with absolutely no evidence...
why are you willing to believe his empty claim that all of marx has been debunked without any evidence but are demanding such high levels of evidence from me? you've already got such things as it being an important part of all economics courses in the US, china existing, and the first paragraph of the wikipedia article on Marx which states 'His work has since influenced subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history.' now you want me to go and find you academic papers that say 'the sky is blue and water is wet' if you want to know if marx is still influential then why not learn about what he actually said and why his ideas were, and still are, so important?
n/a CarcosianKing 2017-01-13
Hey, yeah, so until I see links to papers, or names of people advocating Marxist economics, all of this is just a whole lot of empty bullshit being said by a nobody on the internet, so...
TL;DR.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
i think you already know how silly this question is and how hard finding a perfect answer is likely to be, but of course there's plenty out there --
as reported by Nature, a team of information scientists out of Indiana University, Bloomington, think they’ve found a way. And, according to them, the most influential scholar is… Karl Marx.
The problem is of course paywalls, but no worries - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751157713000746
these aren't paywalled but describe the opinions of prominent academics;
Ian Hunt, the director of the Center for Applied Philosophy at the Flinders University of Southern Australia, believes that Marx and his insights into the capitalist system in particular still have a place in contemporary society.
It is hard to think of many who have had as much influence in the creation of the modern world
here's the econmist aggering with the bbc;
his work as a philosopher, social scientist, historian and a revolutionary is respected by academics today.” Concerning the second point, at least, the BBC was correct: Marx is still accorded respect.
and this one the title speaks for itself really; https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jan/25/karl-marx-relevant-21st-century

Strangely enough, years ago, in the London-based anarchist newspaper "Freedom", there was a female cartoon cat called "Wildcat".
The anarchists then didn't seem to have a problem with a female cat personification.
This is the shark-jumping moment for /r/socialism. I would suggest a mass unsubscribing from the sub and a move to one of the alternative left subs. The mods are either agents provocateurs or trolls at this point.
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
i do kinda agree that the mods of /r/socialism and many other leftist groups are very clearly agent provocateurs or idiots who make the whole movement look bad, also most the Clinton staffers i've interacted with are actively trying to make the left look elitist and stuck in the past, the berniebros are trying to make everyone look like petulant children. the guardian is run by crypto-corporatists, etc, etc...
However they're not as quite as good at making ourselves look stupid as the_don or Donald himself. or the Bush administration, the Gop, fox, breitbart and etc...
Really you kinda just gotta wonder if it's not actually just humanity that sucks rather than one or other of the major political schema...
but if you can't see the difference between Wildcat and the hyper sexualised and infantised depictions of 'cat girls' then you're literally thinker than all over the above.

I looked at the "political ideology cats" or whatever it was called. This is not how it seemed to me.
Also, what is up with the weird puritanism and dislike of sex on the American left?
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
ok i have to agree that this is on the safe side - certainly the artist [though i don't entirely agree with her politics entirely] clearly isn't producing them to make bank by demeaning women but is creating fun, educational and socially responsible artworks for the benefit of the ideological cause she believes in.
I really do dislike the mods of /r/socialism and every time they ban me we have the same conversation about how quickly they race towards the most extreme and powerful tool in their arsenal which in this case is banning but were they to wield real power it'd be secret police and gulangs... I quote people like Huxley, Hesse, Hugo they quote, oh no wai- they don't have any arguments so they just block me or use infantile insults to try and demean me from their ivory towers...
but i digress, your question which really interested me was the sexual phobia of the american left, as a European it's strikingly obvious to me firstly that this isn't just the american left it's every possible strand of american culture especially the movies and porn industry - a sex phobic porn industry? yes. Obviously as a Brit i'm from an even more reserved culture yet one which by-and-large is much more relaxed about sexuality and sex than america is by-and-large...
I think one of the key issues in america is that culturally it's a very insecure country, everyone on the planet knows that America's culture is acultural especially Americans and I think this is why they're either very nervous or pompous around the subject -
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
So what i'm getting at is that the left are quick to hate anything they associate with the right, anything that might look like america is a 'right wing country' while the right is deranged in that it's opposed to anything that might make it look like a left wing nation - they're trying to force their view of the world onto the world, thus otherwise nice people who vote right will angrily attack noble organisations doing important work like Planned Parenthood simply because it smells a bit too leftwing for them and they want to live in somewhere that's rightwing while the left will stomp on the faces of retards for calling someone stupid because it doesn't matter who gets hurt it only matters that our flag is more prominent than theres....
ugh and now i've mentioned it i have to say that /r/socialisms abalist policy is fucking stupid it really is - which section of society is most likely to have limited vocabularies? which portion of society is least skilled at policing their emotions and and expressions? which portion of society is lest able to argue in their defence when accused? to express themselves and their intent using the new and artificial set of words? RETARDS. If your cognitive skills, educational development or social abilities are retarded then you're more likely to be excluded by these rules... I personally have been banned from /r/socialism because i got carried away and expressed myself too clearly, they didn't care about me as a person and when i tried to talk to them they even mocked my 'disability' [in speech marks because it's obvious to everyone my disability has resulted in me being smarter than most people] - it's not about the people, not about the ideals it's about making it seem like your team is top of the pole, about saying whatever it takes to win the round...
i mean another strong example is pizzagate, they were all saying things like 'it's so disgusting he would make a hashtag killoom joke about a wipe clean freezer room! he must be some form of degenerate freak!' then thirty seconds later they're in /r/pics making dead baby rape jokes or shitposting goroporn all over /b/ -- they don't actually believe what they're saying they're just playing their part...
What i'm saying is that political ideology in america is largely farce, it's a form of status signalling rather than ideological drive - i'll return to your poets to conclude my statement for me;
COME, I will make the continent indissoluble;
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon;
I will make divine magnetic lands,
With the love of comrades,
With the life-long love of comrades.
I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of
America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies;
I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about each other's necks;
By the love of comrades,
By the manly love of comrades.
For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you, ma femme!
For you! for you, I am trilling these songs,
In the love of comrades,
In the high-towering love of comrades.

So did you just write a highschool-length essay about some anime cat girls?
n/a The3rdWorld 2017-01-13
na brews, i went to school outside America, in our schools 2500 words was the question not the essay...
haha no i went to british comp, we didn't get question we got beaten down and shoved towards factory and service jobs lol.
I guess what i'm saying is that you don't have to be who you were born to be, you can be the person you make yourself and if you want to write long shitposts about american politics and pornography is degenerate corners of the internet then do it and do it one handed while jerking over your own verbosity if it pleases you for it's impossible to make the whole universe happy and hard enough just to make a tiny speck of it feel joy, if you can take pleasure in yourself then at least the little bit of the universe that knows you best loves you and really what else matters?

I think the rise of the alt-right in a way is an escape from that. It's like a child learning to use a toy for the first time, people are going - wait we can just say the thing we believe? And things will actually change? We don't have to spend all our time sniping for "hypocrisy" or watching out for people doing these historically cliche "ultimate evils"? A lot of new terminology being spawned on the right in the same way. I cringe when I see socialists calling each other "comrades" like they're already so defeated they need to roleplay as a historical fantasy like their politics is an elite club of friends.
Jeez yes the announcement thread on that reads like a parody. And then you get to watch groups argue, mainly for their own intellectual pleasure, over insignificant possibilities of hurt feelings. Meanwhile there's a 50 ton nazi train steaming down the lines at them. They need some kind of massive shock to the system and it's mind boggling to me that BREXIT/Trump etc hasn't been enough.

"socialism is an intrinsically inclusive system and we believe all people are born equal and deserve equal voices in society."

"....this is what men of principle and systematic planners can't help doing. A principle is, by definition, #right#; a plan #for the good of the people# . Axioms for which it logically follows that those who disagree with you and won't help to realize your plan are enemies of goodness and humanity. No longer men and women, but personifications of evil, fiends incarnate. Killing men and women is wrong; but killing fiends is a duty." -Aldous Huxley -Eyeless in Gaza (1936)

I wonder how Lenin would react if he found out that not only would communism collapse, but that the communists of the future would be busy fighting each other over pictures of cat girls.
