Baby Marxist. Under deprogramming

Blog: https://dastanktal.planam.link/

I like to argue as a way to learn. I won't use fallicous argument techniques if you won't. I will still try and be polite though. Will probably keep commenting as long as people respond.

  • So, what is commodity fetishism and why is every twitter communist arguing about it?

    Jump

  • This is my interpretation of the situation, too. I think they both know what the definition is, and they're splitting hairs over minute details that could change what the definition is based on the OG posts.

    This also is a good encapsulation of the argument I think that Madeline was trying to present. I just could not articulate it myself so, I really appreciate it, breaking down this argument for everybody. It also helps me understand more of what was going on.

  • Yeah, apparently the concept of charging more for luxurious items is something called mercantilism. I don't know, I need to look more into it, I just found out about the concept.

    So since OG Dude doesn't include anything in his analysis about exchange value, there's no commodity fetishization going on here is my understanding about it.

    It could be a marxian concept, but in this case, it's not commodity fetish.

  • I see, so, because this dude isn't talking about exchange value or anything related to the exchange value of this object he's simply just talking about the niceties of the objects. It has no bearing in commodity fetish because it has nothing to do with the relations or labor that went into making that commodity.

    Jump

  • So because og dude didn't criticize or praise the price of the commodity and just focused specifically on use value this has no bearing on commodity fetish because he doesn't use these things to justify the value of the item? Especially since these things dude talks about has no bearing on the labour that goes into the jacket

    "the dev team openly pushes extreme tankie viewpoints, using their discord to push apologia directed at multiple anti-western autocracies."

  • Seems like fun, what game are they talking about? Seems like it might be a mod for HOI4.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports

    Jump

  • I remember reading somewhere at some point that all the BitLocker keys are sent to Microsoft. It's a perfectly fine tool to use for commercial settings, but for personal privacy settings, it should be considered compromised.

  • the communism understander has entered the chat and i am happy to report experts still say vuvuzula human nature

  • I gotta say that this was one that I believed until like last year when I was doing some "deprogramming". Unfortunately, this idea is baked into the United States Society, probably because it makes for an interesting cudgeal against AES

  • Wikipedia owner signs on Microsoft, Meta in AI content training deals

    Jump

  • Yeah I wouldn't be excited..

  • It's probably fine.

    It's not like AI scrapers weren't already scraping Wikipedia and using that data anyway, so Wikipedia might as well try to get paid for it.

  • For how fast they were organized and how many people showed up, it's a surprising amount, especially considering how apathetic USians normally are.
