If we were alive 2000 years ago these motherfuckers would be defending the Roman Empire

I don't see what the prison population of a single nation has to do with that.

bloodshed and subjugation. Every. Single. Time.

Yeah, some gates aren't worth trying to get into.

The labor theory of value is the core Marxist economic principle, and it is incorrect.

This is probably a really dumb rhetoric (I've seen it a lot), but I'd to see a good explanation of how dumb it is. Is it like "Newtonian physics doesn't explain black holes, therefore gravity DNE" or is it something else?

To take a step back, the user claims Marx was wrong about some details, but I'm presuming they're not saying it for no reason, the unstated and implied conclusion is probably something like "therefore, we shouldn't try socialism".

At least I'm trying to follow the logic of if Marx was wrong about X, Y, Z, then [conclusion], but there's only the claim that he was wrong about some random things as if anyone gives a shit if Marx was wrong about some obscure economics detail 100 years ago.

The empirical grounding for the labor theory of value has been conclusively proven since at least 1998 thanks to statistical work from Anwar Shaikh and Eduardo M. Ochoa using US input output data

To be honest you don't even have to go that far, these libs literally don't know the difference between use value and exchange value, or embodied labor and concrete labor

Dog whistles are when you state a verifiable fact in a straightforward way

Bloodshed and subjugation. Every. Single. Time.

Right, the moment porky-scared-flipped hears that someone wants fair compensation for their natural resources and labor without being exploited (and god help you if you say 'l*nd reform')

whew, good thing America has never had bloodshed and subjugation

To implement public housing and good working conditions and women's rights and free child care and good bus systems and gay discos and not having everything destroyed by capitalism it is first necessary to murderer 69 billion people. I am very smart and i understand economics.

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
