Where do I start with this man?
Where do I start with this man?
First explain why you would
Who is the successor of the Maoist ideal?
Depends on who you’d ask, I would imagine. Not sure of anyone beyond Deng.
Not a tankie.
I want to understand the rumblings of 20th century critical theory of pop culture
Didn't he completely betray the ideal?
In which sense are anarchs not posers?
I believe he did. Though he was in fact the successer of the nation and it’s current direction. And how am I a poseur for this?
There’s a Zero Books on some form of Maoism, I forget the authors name, it it shouldn’t be too hard to find. Maybe you’d like it.
I have more interest in Bookchin’s ideas at the moment
funny -- I purchased a few of his books tonight after the lectures posted in the other thread.
what was the other thread called? cant find it
Why hold politic views that will never be applied?
anarchs are ridiculous
Interested? this isn't art, it's politics; its about actual economic change, not phantasies
i plan on reading mao's writings, not some book ABOUT him
it was on the shooting in nz -- an user posted a link to his interview on violence and identity. spent the rest of this evening checking out his other interviews on media culture etc. it was a good find.
Isn’t it you who asked me who the successer to Mao was?
Put your dick back in your pants.
Have a look at this one
i was talking to Cockshott, yesterday
i suggested a currency which deflated in value, since in semi-socialist systems, currency was never replaced with tickets or certificates & this would have avoided the kulak situation & various other things, which he intentionally avoided by pretending i was talking about the ticket system, which would replace currency, which i was not
i later had a chat with him about the differences between fascism & communism, which he knew little about
he knew a bit about georgism, but could not tell me if it was compatible with fascism, which pound thought was the case
the thing that really struck me, though, is that he is more of a statistician than a philosopher
his understanding of classical philosophy, for instance, was lacking
i think i'll stick with mao
God, butterfly talking about my dick makes it fucking drip with precum
Because next to habbie and baudie hes the preeminent scholar of media theory of the 20the century. Get over yourself you lame
He’s a numbers guy. Fuck your devaluing cash notion. Vouchers to nonthing at all.
Telling you to not wag it around gets you off? What’re you, 12?
No, I was just asking for more info in the OP
Genuinely curious
the problem is that stalin nor mao never realised the conversion of currency in to labour-evaluated vouchers, so it is best to just deal with a system in which currency defines the value of labour
in this situation, the best thing is to have a state apparatus which retrieves hoarded money after a certain period of time, say the same amount of time it takes for a piece of food to rot
the reasoning behind this is that labour can only be evaluated in so far as it corresponds with the actual products in possession by the state
if corn rots, then so must the currency earned through labour be retrieved, otherwise the system will be economically infeasible
IM THE JEWISH BUTTERFLY DISCERN MY ECHOES
Well since we now have computers we can have a working voucher system, no problems. And there’s actually no need to retrieve rotting/devalued currency when you have personalized payments (that expire, so suggests Cockshott) no trouble with hoarding and especially no need for a state apparatus.
And why do you parade this paper mache mask around, user?
Don’t you see I favor putting billions of bankers out of work?
>butterfly designs a new communist state
We killed this board didn’t we
:3
the value of labour does not equal the value of product; that is the point; not the value of personalised payments
the value of labour equals the pool of product which is under the possession of the state in a semi-socialist system
what i mean by this is that the pool of product naturally devaluates
if you have corn, it rots
if you have a mechanism, it breaks
& so forth
in order to maintain a stable, economy, you need to not only retrieve the amount of labour points that are distributed, based on the amount of labour done, but also tax it at a higher rate than product devaluates, as to prepare for deficit, such as disaster or plight
