I think I should read some Marx, where should I start? Das Kapital?uziq wrote:
well done for copying the first paragraph from wikipedia. you clearly are not familiar with the use of 'petit-bourgeois' in nearly all marxian discourse. the petit-bourgeois are the small shopkeepers and people given a little bit of authority at work – not the warehouse guys but the smalltime supervisors, the overseers, the office clerks – those precisely who emulate and affect the bourgeoisie (the proletariat certainly don't do this). they are not independently wealthy. they may manage the property but that basically only translates to 'are salaried'. they do not own the means of production and they are most definitely not rich. they are only distinguished from the proletariat mass in that they normally have white-collar jobs and enjoy small comforts at work. this (low) level of education and culture makes them think, naturally, they are better than everyone else. it's this mock-bourgeois mentality that leads to fascism (or did so in germany, anyway). a nation of outraged bank clerks and parsimonious village postmasters on the march.SuperJail Warden wrote:

do you know what the petit-bourgeoisie is?
These people are probably just proles who absorbed the ideology of the bourgeois without even making it beyond typical wage work.
a good expression of petit-bourgeois ideology is poujadism. you can wikipedia that one, too, seeing as rutgers clearly didn't equip you that well.
the people in that video seem pretty much to be classic examples of the snarling, acquisitive, bigoted, fake-respectable petit-bourgeois. mealy-mouthed little fuckers who think they represent 'commonsense' and 'virtue'.
What sort of college did you go to that your godless, communist professors didn't indoctrinate you as right-wingers claim they do? SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, COMRADE!SuperJail Warden wrote:
Meh I didn't study Marxism in college specifically. I still know a bit without needing to check Wikipedia though.
I really don't care that much.
I loved how all the marxist professors at uni never did a degree in economics.DesertFox- wrote:

Thanks, I shall find an alternative café in Melbourne to read it in.uziq wrote:
the eighteenth brumaire is one of the best pieces of political analysis you will ever read. short on economics and pseudo-scientific abstraction, too.
well most of marx is hegelianism. economic and fiscal theory make up a very tiny part of it (and even then, only late in his career in 'das kapital' and the like). marx was a political philosopher not an MBA lecturer. ideas such as alienation are far more salient and relevant through the ages than the analysis of the labour theory of value.Cybargs wrote:

it's short and is a lucid and perceptive study of 19th century history. it's honestly one of the most trenchant essays you'll read. hard to appreciate just how revolutionary his whole approach was at the time – the method and material with which he enflamed his argument. everyone should read it.Dilbert_X wrote:

uuuuhm, i really don't think you understand what is happening in italy.SuperJail Warden wrote:
Anyway, the far right in was defeated in presidential elections in Austria today and the populist reforms in Italy failed to pass. If upcoming in elections in Germany and France result in far right parties getting defeated, it is going to be really difficult for the U.K. and U.S. to explain how we let Brexit and Trump happen while the other major European electorates decided not to try to destroy the whole system.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/donald-tr … ion-232339President-elect Donald Trump has picked Linda McMahon, a professional wrestling executive and former Republican contender for Connecticut's U.S. Senate seats, to lead the Small Business Administration.
“Linda is going to be a phenomenal leader and champion for small businesses and unleash America's entrepreneurial spirit all across the country," Trump said in a statement announcing the choice on Wednesday.
