This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Well that is fundamentally wrong on its face. The people that own the highest valued companies didn't make shit. They bought or inherited it. (Obvious example being Elon Musk).
As for criticizing rentiers without any broader examination of the system the produces and enables rentiers is just trying to reapply Adam Smith to modern economics.
I'm not very smart but this all sounds very stupid.
He says they took advantage of new production processes, but doesn’t consider that those processes don’t do much productive.
lol in musks case okay yeah if you count carbon tax credit loopholes that allow you to basically print money as a "new production process"
Roderic/Mason has a bad analysis, yeah.
lol I'm at least well enough read that I have a decent bullshit detector.
