Why should we care about you? What’s your favorite book?
How’s it with you guys ?
For me as well. But then I purged the cache and updated ublock filters. And now it’s working again.
It’s a race between youtube and ublock, and ublock is winning.
that’s a graphic representation of china subaltern role and american imperialism. any other interpretation is wrong. ofc, Hegel’s Master-Slave Dialectic might happen, but it’s not clear it will happen.
I guess you might like ambient music. It’s a huge genre, but since you have start somewhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJFai85mu8M&list=OLAK5uy_kK7tukxLd8mVVTU1LdBAqIuDQIIalolvU (he died 5 days ago btw, may he RIP)

Yes, Polanyi was not a Marxist, and literally nobody would say he was. He had distanced himself from Marxism at a personal level after an initial flirtation with it in his youth. Polanyi turned away from Marxism in the years leading up to the First World War.
Certainly, he was somewhat of a socialist, though his theory differed significantly from Marxism. His theory revolved around conflict, similar to Marx’s theory; however, the terms, dynamics, and mechanisms were all distinct. Upon rereading “The Great Transformation,” it becomes clear that the second Karl (Polanyi) had deviated considerably from the first Karl’s (Marx) fundamental insights on various critical points: the emergence of capitalism, the origins of the Industrial Revolution, the dialectics of commodification, the exploitation of labor, concepts of value and money, class power, and class struggle.
Some Marxist authors were indeed inspired by Polanyi, as with the already mentioned Burawoy, Nancy Fraser, etc. However, that doesn’t retroactively make Polanyi a Marxist. Aside from that, Polanyi was very religious; he converted to Protestantism and remained a Christian for the rest of his life. He leaned much more towards being “communitarian” than “communist”.
edit: https://sandbroo.faculty.politics.utoronto.ca/why-polanyi-and-not-marx/ here’s a text with a better explanation.
true
well, I will stop to use YouTube, and that will solve 2 problems
Bordiga was a pure genius, but it’s quite a difficult read because of his idiosyncratic writing.
Among the non Marxists, I like Polanyi a lot.
why not vivaldi?
technical solution are palliatives, but why not…
yes, it’s the same for everybody. and sometimes you just encounter positions that are just so pure lunacy that you feel the URGE to say something. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land.
most of the time, debating online is just useless. frustrating. pointless. who cares if somebody is wrong on the internet.
u r welcome
Kissinger is becoming a meme. For sure he is bad. He is very bad. But let’s not make him a scapegoat.
All the American elite was (and is) corrupt and they are war criminals. Kissinger, sure, but the Clintons (both) the Bush (both), Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell etc etc - they are AS guilty as Kissinger.
Focus on the system, not only the names.
In 2019 (or was it 2018?), i joined Mastodon within a now presumably defunct instance. I noted that the community was absolutely toxic and neurotic, in contrast to Twitter. And that says a lot. Cliquish bullshit. I deleted my accounts. Perhaps now it’s better…
Recently i joined lemmy, bcs on reddit saying that you don’t think fomenting a war is a good thing gets you permabanned. Reddit used to be a relatively free and welcoming place, with different opinions and a good degree of tolerance. Now it’s just neo-liberals ghouls and bleeding hearts liberals.
yes! i should have specified somewhere! but it’s just a “oral” history of the origins of the organization, from one of the participants.
“Cuba has a firm and clear historical position against mercenarism and plays an active role in the United Nations in repudiation of this practice,” the ministry added, according to an unofficial translation.
“Cuba is not part of the war in Ukraine. It is acting and will act vigorously against whoever, from the national territory, participates in any form of human trafficking for the purposes of recruitment of mercenarism so that Cuban citizens use weapons against any country.”
The Russian government has not commented on the allegations.
