Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.

Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.

Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.

Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.

Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

@Lussy@hexbear.net talked with my old neighbor who just got back to the island after a NYC trip and she was talking about how she hadn't eaten rice in a week. Asked her why she didn't try eating Chinese, sushi, Indian food, or anything that should've been available over there. "Nah, a mi no me gusta la comida rara" ??? Why even travel?

Damn, Michael Porter Jr. doing all that with one shoulder. It'd be cool if his politics weren't terrible.

Can't handle the smarm of the last Remember Shuffle episode. How is the movie-exclusive alliteration speech by V more "dumb guy's smart guy" coded than quoting Shakespeare? It's about the same. If anything, just quoting something else perceived as smart is the lazier way to do it.

I prefer the comic too, but V For Vendetta is better than 300, dudes.

Turned on the radio today like some freak and hear an ad for a hardware store 2 towns over, they selling guns now. I know it shouldn't be shocking living in amerikkka where you can get one at walmart but it did phase me a bit.

depression/suicide/alcoholI've thought of getting a gun before but money makes it not an option not to mention I worried if I ever get big sad that you know. I'm feeling fine now and trying my best to make a future instead of the passive living I used to do but old habits are hard to break. Been hard sober now for probably 2 maybe 3 years now, been trying to eat better and exercise consistently and I got some plans for the future if somewhat hazy. Idk thinking about the somewhat ease of firearms has put me in a mood.

I look forward to the collapse of this cursed land just sucks I have to live through it/my spite means I'm gonna enjoy seeing it burn.

I’m sorry for my last comment I just want to promote peace and love I was just ordering food in support of peace ✌️ I’m very worried with the conflict

Every time there's police violence or overreach or corruption or just plain old harrasment, you hear the chorus "it's just a few bad apples." Mother fucker, what is the saying about a few bad apples in a bunch. Is it "a few bad apples does nothing to the bunch actually" do we keep a spoiled bunch. Why has did it enter as an idiom to say a few bad apples for thin blue line types when cops do something horrible

I love listening to your little piss-ant fascists trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Stalin were here, he'd laugh too.

Company is not renewing the enterprise license for some tool I have never used once. Might threaten to walk over it, mostly just bored.
