Okay, so being a union member is good(+1), but organizing union strikes is bad(-2)!? So what are unions supposed to do then? Just keeping up appearances of opposition to pacify dissent while actually maintaining the status quo?

Ohhhh, that makes sense then, carry on I guess.
Thanks for the write up, I'm just unsure about this last part:
USSR could've developed the way China did if different decisions were made
Which decisions could have achieved that? Nixon and Kissinger deciding to go to Moscow to make a deal and the USSR fueling the Walmart economy for the next decades instead of China? But than China wouldn't be the same today.
I remember a point, where I was like:"I already know capitalism is bad, why do I need to learn this complex shit on top of it? Is dialectics even real? Marx and Engels probably just read too much Hegel." Now I try to explain Engels three laws to my bookclub in the first session and frame everything in terms of contradictions. I still have a lot to learn though.

What else can be eaten with lingonberry jam? Or rather, what can't?
That's it. What they're saying with this law is, that the US needs more landlords.

Not saying it's always a great tactic, but here are some answers to your questions: It's usually for prisoners. If you're a prisoner, you could easily be killed. If you're still alive, that means they want you alive. Usually for ideological reasons. To showcase their "justice". A hunger strike prevents your enemies from using you for their propaganda. By starving yourself publicly, you gain an opportunity to publish your reasons and spread your own propaganda in turn
Another thing is, that you make a credible case to the target audience of your enemies propaganda, that their "justice" is not just at all. It becomes credible, because your suffering acts as an "honest signal" (that's a term from biology for a costly action, that's hard to fake). It's meant to suggests strong commitment to higher ideals on your part. Your enemy will have a harder time arguing you only did your "crimes" for personal gain. It's hard to argue you don't believe in things, if you're willing to starve for your convictions.
Yes, I realize how idealist this whole argument sounds. Again, I don't really know, how to tell when this is actually a good idea. Just answering the questions.
Yes, exactly. Even if Trump being not totally wrong is a weird coincidence.
What many people ignore about magnetism, is that you can use special relativity to transform any situation involving only a magnetic field into a situation involving only an electric field, simply by changing how you look at it.
We have found that we get the same physical result whether we analyze the motion of a particle moving along a wire in a coordinate system at rest with respect to the wire, or in a system at rest with respect to the particle. In the first instance, the force was purely “magnetic,” in the second, it was purely “electric.”
I love them, but almost never cook with them, because they are slightly more effort than other carbs.
Value is socially necessary labor time, so those things would actually increase the value of Bitcoin, not lower it. But for it's value to be realized, a commodity needs use value on top of exchange value. Bitcoins have no use value other than their use for facilitating exchange (as a currency). However, since bitcoins are almost never exchanged for other commodities, they don't facilitate much exchange at all. Without use value, the actual value would be zero no matter how much labor and resources go into a commodity. Those inputs are just destroyed.
