The power that flows from value creation is “mild”, whereas the power that flows from political acumen is “direct and high”? Man cmon. Power is power. Have you not noticed the entire lobbying industry and who pays for the majority of it?

Yes we rich-eaters have been surviving on a mono-culture of rich folk and will surely starve without the rich who sacrifice themselves selflessly for our sustenance.

Of course there’s more ways to cheat people than skimming wages via capitalism. Marx point was that capitalism should be understood as a way to cheat people at scale .

Marx was specifically talking about industrial production and made that pretty clear in his work. “It’s far too low resolution a phrase” when purposefully taken out of context. If “the means of production” applies to the factory owner and t

There’s no system quite as flexible as anarchy ;) In all seriousness, the contextually relevant factors tend to be local details. Anarchy embraces the idea that people closest to and most impacted by the issues should be more involved in de

Isn’t it just a touch hypocritical to say that xxx is “the right answer” but “people prefer simple, wrong, answers, to complex correct ones”? “The right answer” almost always turns out to be “it depends” (just like any good engineer would s

Unless we’re getting out the torches and pitchforks and marching to the guillotines (pretty please?), it’s purely a rhetorical battle. Are you suggesting that power dynamics are irrelevant in a shouting-match? I’m not taking issue with the

In order for the author’s thesis to work, the government (which is somehow absurdly neither sided with capitalists nor workers) actively pits the two classes against each other in a permanent stalemate. In order for that to work, the two

It’s perhaps difficult to find the flaw in this argument until you note that society isn’t 50/50 capitalists and workers. Pull on that thread a bit and combine it with the fact that neither the government nor bankers (whether central o

I don’t think this is a thing you can pattern-match for. Too much of happiness, success, etc is luck. Often, I look back and realize a period was a happy time, but I don’t remember feeling particularly happy while it was happening. Keep w

The comments are generally impressed at the “600k monthly revenue” and while I am too, is that “our business was grossing 600k/month” or “the sites we supported were grossing 600k/month through our checkout”? These are … very diff

1) they cherry pick the timeframe for historical comparison and conclude college has gotten cheaper (a more honest analysis for that period is that it stayed flat). What about 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago? The silence sure is loud. 2) Good for
