tangible

in that case money itself is tangible and can be valued against itself. You are confusing exchange value and use value. Money has an exchange value, so does gold, oil or any other commodity. But unlike money they also have a use value.

No issue, here is a good intro to Marxism if you want it https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/index.htm

Firstly, this concept only applies to means of production, as in the stuff that is used to produce stuff which could be sold. So e. g. a sewing machine.

Without getting into the weeds:

a. Personal: You own and operate the sewing machine, you pay for the resources consumed and own the item produced. (Good)

b. Private: You own the sewing machine but someone else operates it. You pay the resources consumed, the laborer a previously agreed upon amount and own the item they produced. (bad)

c. Public: the public owns the sewing machine and pays for the resources consumed. The laborer is paid the value of their work. That is, the value of the item produced minus the value of the resources consumed. (Very good)

How “the public” and “the value” are determined is the source of leftist infighting (anarchists vs marxist-leninist). But since both agree that private ownership needs to be abolished the call is for leftist unity to stand together against the people that currently own the means of production privately (the bourgeoisie) and exploit those that have to sell their laborforce in order to survive (the proletariat).

And people look at me weird for masking

Lets look at the grand opposition to trump:

the democrats

your country is cooked my friend

Right: in favor of privately owned means of production.
Left: in favor of publicly owned means of production.

For what its worth before hexbear disabled downvotes they looked at who had been systematically downvoting trans peoples posts and a couple transphobes got purged.

Also any drama is around downvoting, no cries about systematic upvoting. Seems like any drama can be avoided if downvoting is just disabled.

Because it would allow people to push narratives and not get called out if they block everyone against them.

Imagine a civil transphobe pushing some narrative that flies below the radar of whatever mods are moderating that comm. If they block all the trans users they cannot get called out on their stuff anymore.

I think there was some discourse on this on black mastodon?

Well one is a labourer, the other a store owner if that helps along.

I can see why, between that, getting banned from political memes for anti-white racism (I linked readsettlers.org) and from buyeuropean for saying the main legislative body of the EU is not elected democratically (it literally isn’t and the Treaty of Lisbon removed all but a thin veil of democracy from the union) the state of modding is rapidly approaching reddit tier.

I still don’t think it was russian propaganda.

I believe its touched up by AI to cover up whatever condition he had that caused his hand to look like it did. In the window behind him you can see a teleprompter and the guy filming which are odd details for an AI to put in.

Well he isn’t anymore 🥰

In seppoland?? Dime a dozen, finding one that isn’t would be like finding a piece of hay in a needlestack.

If we eliminate animal ag we will have more than enough space for lower density production, here Seppoland as an (albeit extreme) example:

And since we won’t be eliminating animal ag under capitalism the profit motive is gonna be moot point anyway.

ok sorry but thats kind of funny when you removed this comment https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/15767109 and permabanned me because of the youtube channels name, and not because of anything in the video. I still maintain all the facts presented there can be independenty verified and that it is a balanced view critical of both Russias handling of protests but also of Ukraine.

Like “Videos from mariupol”, nope gotta go can’t be good not even gonna watch it.
“Live footage of a nazi going from fountain of hate to fountain of blood” lets investigate…

I mean I dont have that kind of money and if I did it would go to Palestine but Italy seems weirdly expensive when you have romania right there.

Italy?? Half life was inspired by eastern european aesthetics, the Ukraine more specifically. There’s a colonel Odessa for crying out loud.
