The capitalists got the novel they wanted from him.

Especially sad since the only good Catholics are the ones that very specifically point out "patricians" and the class disease of trying to putting on airs have to go.

1) It's in my class interests to overthrow the class that oppresses my own.
2) Capitalist economics is leading to the now all-but-assured destruction of the planet and human life.

There's actually no reason not to want to initiate full socialism toward full communism.

The exact point is that there is no "LTV", read it again.

>I hate how Marxists attribute literally every death that happens due to geopolitics to capitalism.
>when you don't even read the post
>As if all the middle east situations happen because of capitalism.
Of course it is dumbass
>They never seem to appreciate that in a world where different states must compete for resources (i.e the real world) then yes, some people are going to get fucked.
So there's nothing wrong with the billions and billion and billions and billions and billions personally strangled by Stalin and Mao?

>You: Value and price are synonymous.
>Actual professor of economics: One thing that should be clear from the start is that the LoV does not assert is that "average market prices" for each market equal "labor values."

Try again.

>Are there any intelligent refutations of socialist theory?
There are purely emotionalist appeals towards muh billions billions billions billions. If you're an intellectual coward or middling and willing to overlook the wider death toll of the actually existing actually governing economic system of the world, as most people are, that's generally enough. Capitalism however has no substantial response to socialist criticism of liberal economics as laid out by Marx and since expounded on. After years of fiddling about trying to simply keep the criticism itself quiet via violence including assassination, terrorism, and war their line is generally that all the things that capitalism is criticized for are actually good. This is the financiers talking to the servant population which, sleepwalking, follows.

The second sex bots happen all the hand-holdless make-believe-Christian/Pure-Aryan-warrior basement dwellers will get them and experience something like sex. I'm not sure if this is going to make them chill out and start acting like normal people, in which case I'm for it. But I can also see it just making them worse by giving them some measure of power over something.

>Be me, marine
>Go to book store to find American literature about American heroes
>Hot as fuck book bitch walks up to me already undressing me to get to my perfect physique
>She starts twiddling her hair around her finger and asks me "C-can I help you find something?"
>I grab her and whisper into her ear: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Is this supposed to be ironic? Because it's true.

Hedges isn't a fantastic writer but he's not bad. Certainly not even closet to the worst. Pic related was good, though the collaborative book he did with Joe Sacco wasn't amazing.

>>9519595
Well, this is also true. But as already noted, Romeo and Juliet were both truly in love and truly idiots.

To continue, consider the relationship between Elizabethan (including Shakespeare's) comedies and R&J. It's structured exactly like a comedy except that it ends as a tragedy. No one ever questions if Beatrice and Benedick are TRULY in love, it's just granted. Shakespeare likes to think that people CAN just fall in love and not, in my opinion, as simply a matter of convenience (i.e., the time constraints of a play).
