A friend recommended me this book, pretty satisfying reading since book is written in an easy and understandable language. Also found online version redstarpublishers.org/cornforth1953.pdf...
When Friedman visited the University of Cape Town in 1976, he gave a speech to an audience of 2,000 in which he declared that the market was a much surer route to liberty than democracy; voting by dollars was better than voting by ballots. The key to freedom was not free elections but decentralisation of state power itself.
And freedom they talking about is freedom of market.
Also, here is the video where Milton Friedman tells that he does not believe in democracy (with good part of word salad as usual, of course). www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgrTeEToIX8
Again, no one disagreeing in existence of more than 2 classes (many of them in decay since Marx time). And again, considering the post, the comment is valid enough. Not from a pedantic point of view, but in current circumstances it makes the point. Existence, motion, decay and revolutionary potential of classes is an interesting topic, but I doubt that under the meme post about “middle class”. No offence.
Don’t you take the song too serious? Why average guy song should contain real reasons of happening? It is just song of random guy who feel some struggles in society and sharing it with others in a way he understands it, no?
You can explain why it is have to be reactionary thing that promotes some dark age ideas.
Ps wekfare obesity stuff not 100% clear to me, maybe too usa specific.
how seriously I take a work of art is my prerogative. If one is not comfortable with criticism, they should keep their thoughts to themsef.
Totally not, you are broking logic here. If you cannot control your hysteria, it strange that you expect others to not answer you.
how do you reconcile a position which claims to care about folks without enough to eat, with the line complaining about welfare (food assistance)?
wrong position, but remains popular narrative among working people. If people already struggle with poverty, it is good start to explain reasons of it.
furthermore, it isn’t even critical of the capital-owning class or the system which protects the institution of private capital, just an ephemeral ‘rich man up north’ (this is a reactionary dogwhistle, if you’re not familiar with the US)
not familiar with this “rich man up north” thing, to me it sounds like “rich” in general. Is this real marker of far right anarcho capitalism adepts in usa?
If there is real use of some words or hidden signs of far right usa slang, just share it here and educate others politely, I’m sure people here including me would like to be aware of such things. Any opportunity should be used to educate people.
You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one. Instead, you were acting as an angry Chihuahua, using big words doubly understanding the meaning of it. You lost my attention here.
check wassabi guy comments, he edited them, so maybe there he has added any relevant explanations. (haven’t checked his last comments edits by myself yet)
Idk about practical use of stablecoins outside of speculations. Probably paypal just covering niche without any clear understanding just because stablecoins under the hood is very similar to paypal , just using different rails
