From its very founding, capitalism has always required some kind of periphery from where it can obtain cheap labor and resources on a massive scale, suppress rebellions with impunity, and externalize costs. [...] Capitalism's dependence on exploitation is structural.

This is incorrect. #1550794 #1421528

The Israel/Iran shite is completely irrelevant, and the renewable energy crap is just that: complete crap. Renewables are not "cheaper" when considering the whole electric grid and production; theyr unnatural and unsuitable for a 21st C economy, existing at the behest of government subsidies.

You bring back the discource to a line I'm not interested in discussing. I'm not here as anti-capitalist. The prose should go beyond that, as I consider it history already. Look forward, just looking at teh source of that articles Stanford and a book froma Berkley professor, both part of the indoctrination system that fuel capitalism itself. Worte to confuse and divide, a know strategy.

Let's look forward, something you accnot deny is that nowadays capitalis is corrupted to its (skull'n)bonds and designed as

economic system where production is organized around and exclusively for maximizing profit

Its not corrupted — any more than other institutions impacted by state, democracy, regulation and other ills — it's not history (it's as present as gets) , and I'm not sure where the "indoctrination system that fuels capitalism" is...

Nobody beyond a few oddballs like myself seems to defend it, and besides, the anti-crowd seems to have a massive indoctrinating effort behind it

Wow, are you still thinking govts are above everything, thats to the authority given to them by their citizens? Do you realize the influence of the 3 major powers have over pseudo-govt this days?

Ask those that opt to homeschools their children

I'm not saying you are defending it, I'm just trying to let you see another perspective. Nothing personal.

homeschooling is a way to opt out of socialist indoctrination. I think you may have mixed up your things here


What three major powers? Where is your divine knowledge/insight coming from? How do you know that those are the powers running things?

I'd rather not be so specific. Yes there are schools and Schools, but still, I'm in this case referring to the "public" ones. Still in the private sector, most are oriented to tell you how to join the club. Are really few the ones that aim to make a difference in education.


  • Military industrial complex
  • Millennial Techocrats
  • Financial system/ Wall St Boomers

Dixon explain it better. All 3 competing, or more than competing, playing the game to serve those in look for power. Ansd when one realize power does not need money to be obtained and maintained. Money is just an instrument of control, But we all knwo that.

I can see your perspective, can you see mine?

They're not things, but ghostly invisible made-up boogeyman caricatures. There's no "perspective" there; it's arguing about an ever-changing spectre.

Get real. There are serious things about actual markets and capitalism to read if you want. I have plenty of SN posts on the topic
