angery a day will come and varn shall regret his not uploading every episode onto the podcast feed angery

i thought prolekult was de-growthy tbh, now i'm wondering how they differ? on the socialization of land?

*and their knee jerk reaction to bullshit jobs is interesting, are salesman or consultants or advertising or lawyers not bullshit jobs by any marxist going definition, they redistribute surplus value from exploitation through territory holding or expansion in the commodity markets of similar exploitation levels. like say tomorrow all salesman dissapeared, what would fundamentally change in the economy? hospitals will still need to buy mri machines, they just won't get wined and dined by some dipshit

    "You have to have bullshit jobs, that's just what bureaucracy requires; people just have to sit around at their jobs doing nothing useful for an advanced society that manages its resource flows; it is demonstrable that things cannot be other than they are..."

    people doing this kind of work brand-eternal are irreducible bureaucrats, sorry to ruin your fun.

    no but genuinely, is it kind of knee jerk defense of administrative state (say person doing permits for water usage or whatever?) as not bullshit job? cool, we agree. but cast you eye to economy, is a lawyer protecting nestle against slave labor charges necessary for less shit society function (or does it produce somethin necessary for society reproduction)? is their law firm with couple of thousands employees? is ad agency necessary? is mckinsey? it obviously is necessary for capitalist reproduction, but not so much for non capitalist one.
