The state exists in the first place because it has a monopoly on violence. Doesn't matter whether it is democratic republic, fascist, or Marxist-Leninist. For MLs, violence is wielded on behalf of a state capitalism that constitutes it

I wonder what society would look like once it becomes common to trust your gut instincts. It used to be that you never judge a book by its cover, but now that is increasingly never the case. I think we'd find a broken society that beco

I find the subjective argument too abstract for practical use. All the subjectivity in the world must come to head with reality and how it can be enforced in reality. I am of the opinion that logistics wins wars, and labor theory of value,

Yet there are drug and mental health crises, and there are families whose quality of life hasn't improved since the last recessions. I don't believe that progress is so neatly linear, and the Hegelian philosophy behind Marx attemp

I would say that Marx and labor theory of value are still relevant as mechanisms for understanding capitalism. According to Marx, Capitalism is a mode of economics that has unleashed the productive forces, but its internal contradictions gi

It's arguable that Japan helped South Korea industrialize by offloading industries it could no longer afford due to rising wages. This article is about analyzing the comparison raised between South Korea and Ukraine, but it is largely

There are different interpretations on equality, and I would say that the inequality in dating markets are a result of the markets as opposed to "nature." Marriage used to be a familial tool for economics and politics, but it has

This is overly reductive and ignores any other possible contributing factors. There is still the unresolved discontent behind the previous riots before the current ones.

I don't even make that much as an engineer in my 30's. Poor people can technically get by, but there are a lot of sacrifices involved. It's understandable that a lot of people aren't willing to make them.

I think the article has mistaken markets, trade, and side hustles for capitalism. These things existed before capitalism and may still exist after. Capitalism is private ownership over the means of production, and I am not sure how much own
