It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What does PMC mean in this context? Only thing that comes to mind is Private Military Complex.

Professional Managerial Class

also known as lanyards, labour aristocracy (occasionally), guard dogs of capital, those bastards, etc

Annoying part is turning them has been a key factor in most successful revolutions, if only because they are a highly educated demographic in a unique position to know how the system actually works better than the politicians, nobility, and capitalists they serve. Unlike the rabid petite bourgeoisie, the professional managerial class is a tool. Ironically once they accept a new paradigm, most get back to work because professionally being a highly educated tool is their thing whether it be for capitalists or communists.

Professional-Managerial Class The layers of "buffer" class between the actual bourgeoisie and proles at the bottom. Their jobs being dependent on their performance in placating the proles and keeping them in line, makes them throw their lot in with the bourgeoisie more often than not.

They also serve an ideological apologetics role in giving the meritocracy veneer to capitalism. The illusion that the political economy isn’t about capitalists extracting surplus value but rather ensuring “the most qualified people” are running things.
