Leftist Corner - Let's Get Revolutionary

No, they are not, the corporation and it's supply chain are.

The worker is just part of that team you interact with.

And what do they give you that burger in exchange for then? MONEY right???

That's private commerce.......capitalism, is it not??

The worker being the part of that team that I consider deserving of my thanks.

Hogjack is a new screename for someone who got banned because I destroyed him so hard he went full Nazi.

Not sure who you are, dude. Seriously. I have nooooo idea. If you sent dick pix I guarantee I deleted them. Sorry.

I assume you've had some very unpleasant prison memories.

That was not your fault. Those were bad people.

 

[hogjack]

He sounds charming.

Thanks. I try.

Noam Chomsky says Trump a ‘sociopathic megalomaniac’ who made US ‘singularly unprepared’ for pandemic

Noam has been dissing Trump forever and has a long history of being on the Left of even Biden Democrats. He is also a very smart man who keep track of things.

Noam Chomsky has been around a looooong time.

His impact is almost zero. What a waste of time and effort. Lots of yapping but no real accomplishments. So much intellect and very little to show for it.

Rude but ok.

So can we agree that all the free commerce and exchanges over the open markets that brought your burger from ranch to your face, including the part where you exchange your resources (cash) for theirs(the burger) was the capitalist system of commerce???

Chuckles, how nice of you to play with the often banned BotanyBoy troll...have fun...
There is an ignore feature for when you get bored of his "same old routine of arguments"...

We can't agree on that at all, because the activity of exchanging goods and services does not depend upon capitalism.

I mean, I know I have a problem when it comes to a willingness to entertain bad arguments from bad faith actors, but...

No, you're right. I have no good excuse and I should stop.

 

[Damoiselle]

Oh, comrades!

Slate Star Codex is awesome. It's not actually a leftist source, just a really accurate one--Which means of course that neofeudalists do label it as leftist, since it doesn't jump through the hoops right wing sites do in attempt to justify bad rhetoric--and that's always refreshing.

I'm not saying it does.

I'm saying that free exchange of goods and services between private entities is capitalism.

Just like the dictionaries/encyclopedias do.

If you disagree with me and the academic resources about what capitalism is (private commerce) then what do you think capitalism is??

I mean, I know I have a problem when it comes to a willingness to entertain bad arguments from bad faith actors, but...

No, you're right. I have no good excuse and I should stop.

Or I suppose you can keep pretending private commerce isn't capitalism and hit ignore like most leftist who can't support or explain their positions.

It is a pretty standard move around here....notice 1975, he tucked tail and cowered off a long time ago.

 

[FlowersForFun]

How can you tell a lefty?

They consider honest discussion and citing academic references to support you positions "trolling".

I'm already getting bored with him. It's like the argument doesn't even branch. He just goes in an uninformed circle.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

No I wasn't, I argued that buying something from a private individual or a corporation is capitalism, because it is.

No, that's not what capitalism is. You're just repeating the same drivel at this point. I'll engage with you when you come up with something new. Or, if this is the extent of your repertoire, when it becomes entertaining.

more of an endless loop. It just keeps repeating

The ignore feature is easier, then he just fads away, except when other's quote him....

They totally called it! Only, the running mate wasn't so much of a looming dark cloud of racism as a Cloroxed cloud of it.

Lol, and in an administration that tosses around the idea of bleach as potential medicine.

Oh, speaking of which!

The Great White Dope. He's got so many sex-related hangups that one wonders what's in his closet. He certainly spends a whole lot of time worrying about other people's sex lives.

[Edit: I just realized that i ought to be clear to avoid offending anyone. I don't mean closet as in closeted homosexual. I mean I wonder whether his deal is that he masturbates with a latex glove and hand sanitizer, or if he's got a stash of kiddie porn. (That will at least offend the right people. ) He's just unnaturally fixated.]

This video did a good job demonstrating of the mercenary aspect of his morality crusade. He's a nasty little piece of work. I take some comfort from his lack of charisma, but I don't have a lot of confidence in that.

It also did a nice job explaining the unbalanced nature of the executive branch. Of course, it got like that through Congressional risk avoidance. They prefer not to make decisions, and would rather hand over authority to the Executive. I forget who said it, but there was one Congressmen who just came out and said that voters don't punish politicians for the decisions they don't make. It's been pretty convenient for Trump having all those War Powers Act sorts of legislation on the books.

 

[FlowersForFun]

No, that's not what capitalism is.

That's what the dictionaries and encyclopedias say it is.

If the academic references and I are all wrong, why don't you point out where we are wrong and explain what capitalism is?

I'm thinking it's because we're not wrong and you're just not mature enough to admit what capitalism ACTUALLY is because you need it as a boogieman to justify the leftism.

I'm already getting bored with him. It's like the argument doesn't even branch. He just goes in an uninformed circle.

Says the person rejection the consensus definition of capitalism....and refusing to offer her own definition.

Hello bot, how are you doing? I see your back from your banning!

I only sent you dick pics because you asked oh so nicely!

Once again impeached president trump demonstrates his stable genius and great wisdom. He has announced his intention to declare antifa a terrorist organisation.
Well... It would help if he could pronounce it correctly, it's anti-fa. Stands for anti fascist. It's Not an-tee-fa which is meaningless. I guess it's just further evidence of his poor reading ability really.
Besides, antifa is not an organisation. It's a name invented by the mainstream media to describe the people from the left who oppose right wing fascist groups.
Antifa does not have a manifesto, it does not have a leader, it does not have an organising committee, it does not have a p o box, or a bank account, it doesn't have a website, it doesn't exist except in the mind of the moronic impeached president. It's a label.

It is the whole of the variety of Anti Fascists, from Jew boys who remember the Pogroms, to the Descendants of WW2 vets who fought Nazis in the fucking snow. It includes those who honor the principles of the American Revolution and see the Corporate Government as an anathema! There are a whole lot of distributed Antifa all over the world in fact. Disorganized and still deadly to the would be fascists.

Best of all they can not track a nonexistent organization!

It is left wing vs right wing.

The RW founded and built the USA, wants to keep it.

The left is currently trying to destroy it and turn it into some open borders ethno-socialist welfare state with no productivity or wealth beyond the white people it manages to enslave.

Come and take it.

#USAisfucked

Nah.....the leftist haven't destroyed it yet.

You think private commerce and individual rights/liberty are antithetical to the principles of the American Revolution?

That was a LIBERAL revolution, run and won by a bunch of Classical English Liberals and Libertarians.....AKA what most lefties call 'alt-Reich NAZIS!!" usually for having the audacity to so much as recognize the concept of private property.

It was absolutely not a leftist one. The idea that it was even remotely close is willful ignorance at it's best.
