>it needs a workers state so as to redirect production away from capital gain and towards social need
That's called a council, you don't need a state for that

>10 hamburgers = 12 quadzillion labors because... IT JUST IS OK???

'In his 1986 article, "Anti-Semitism and National Socialism", Postone developed new thinking on modern antisemitism, and particularly on National Socialist ideology. Postone saw antisemitism as a major element in the development of a socio-historical theory of consciousness determined by social forms that are subjected to socialization under capitalism. What is said about modern antisemitism may also describe a trend of vulgar anti-capitalism that seeks the personification of the elements of capitalism that are so hated. Postone showed that modern antisemitism is very different from most forms of racism and Christian antisemitism; it differs from them because it casts a huge global invisible power of international Jewry, the idea of a global conspiracy that is intrinsic to modern antisemitism.

Postone analyzed antisemitism against the Marxian notion of the dual character of the commodity category. And he observed that the characteristics that antisemitism attributes to Jews are the same as for value: abstraction, invisibility, automation, impersonal domination. Postone argued that the form of socialization under capitalism (the historically specific function of the spirit of labour under capitalism) makes it possible to separate the concrete (as socially "natural" sound, true, etc.) and the abstract (as socially constructed, historically specific and contingent). This opposition between the concrete and the abstract, determined by social forms, pervades all forms of subjectivity, and thus helps to understand a central feature of the National Socialist ideology, because this ideology was not fundamentally anti-modern and it would be wrong to label it as such. It is true, Postone argued, that Nazism claimed to defend the peasantry and craftsmanship, but it also valued modern technological and industrial production. Nazism was rather a vulgar form of anti-capitalism. The rejection of the bourgeoisie and its values is present in Nazism, but Postone saw Nazi ideology as the affirmation of the concrete dimension of capitalism - which includes technology and industrial production, as well as the peasantry and manual labour - as the heart of a healthy, organic social life. This stood in contrast with the abstract dimension represented by finance capital. The abstract is instead rejected - and it is personified by the Jews. Postone analyzed the figure of the Jew in modern antisemitism as the embodiment of abstract value, and extermination camps as a misbegotten notion of a "factory" to destroy value.'

What do you guys think of this?

Marxists fundamentally don't care about race or gender as an end of social upheaval, just class.

Like the other guy said, read a book.

You mean appropriately?

ITT: one or two dudes who have no idea how badly adjuncts get fucked

Now he's doing the opposite, which makes him just as ginormous of a faggot

Hey anon, can I get you for 5 minutes? Cool thanks

So how's things? Good, good, and what are you reading these days? "Harassment Architecture", can't say I know it! I'll have to check it out though, thanks for the recommendation!

So, I've just been going over team performance with everyone, nothing to worry about, you're all good in my book haha, just checking in!

Okay, so let's see what I have on my end. You're doing great man, no problem those quotas, did that bonus come though okay, any problem with tax?

What's that? You said you did some math in your free time and the bonus works out to about two weeks worth of extra wages when you exceeded the quota for all weeks out of 12 months? Well I mean, there's a lot of calculations and it's not as straightforward as that, but I'll check in with payroll and see how that's calculated.

Now, just with regard to these quotas I've mentioned, it's great that you're exceeding them, but I notice that you're hitting around 110%. Now that's great, I really appreciate the work you're doing, but word is coming down that these quotas are going up. As you know we're always trying to figure out a baseline for our teams and it's looking like 135% is going go be the weekly target. What? No, that's not written anywhere. No, no, it won't be coming in for a year at the very least. I know what your contract says, yeah, but, y'know, the needs of the business... and I really think we need to see that initiative, just in terms of your CAREER PROSPECTS. So, y'know..yeah.. you see what I'm saying? Cool.

I'll let you get back to it, anyway, good talking with you man, and thanks for all the work you've been doing! Try and minimize the headphones as well, we got a site-wide call that people are listening to audiobooks too much on their headphones. Haha, yeah! That IS crazy specific now that you mention it! What can you do, huh? Ha ha ha. Woah haha watch it with that door, ha, later!

Great larp you boring asshole

>meanwhile, in an Anglo-American philosophy classroom:

>"So you see, according to C theory of purposive rationality (PR), purposive agents (PA) pursue higher order desires (hd) which in turn are causally determined from the top down by higher higher order desires (HHD). But as Denndenn's thought experiment shows (said thought experiment being, of course, that there is a hypothetical garden gnome on Mars who disagrees with causative rationality and considers it merely epiphenomenal), this is by no means a prima facie a priori observation, it may in fact merely be a soup de jure"
