Weird because there's literally no source that states he was celebrating Stalin's death. He wrote the piece about Stalin when he died, but it certainly isn't celebratory in tone or spirit. Shostakovich also never said he was celebrating Stalin's death. I'm assuming that's just how you interpret the piece.

Dialects explains that the world is full of contradictions and opposing forces. When these opposing forces come together, they can form a new thing. An easy example is to look at multiple opposing news sources to piece together the entire truth of an event.

Dialectical materialism is Marx's concept that contradictions in material conditions of life are what drive historical change. Primarily that the economic base (economic classes, resources, working conditions) is what shapes the superstructure of society (laws, politics, culture.)

Commie sounds like a baby leftist that hasn't read Das Kapital yet. He wouldn't be trying to make this argument if he actually read Marx.

Left. More left. All the way left. Become a leftist.

I mean, that's literally the conclusion that Richard Wolff came to. Call it whatever, just as long as we do it.

The boss can still be bossy if elected. Your 5 year rule is silly and does not address the overlying problem, which is that the CEO works for the shareholders and they only care about making record quarterly profit gains at any cost.

CEOs should just be elected by the employees

She probably has her assets tied up in foreign banks where the state can't access it. Anarchists are dumb and only useful for revolutionary purposes. Once revolutions end, so must the anarchist. Currency is a necessity because there is not enough material abundance to not need it. All the shit jobs that no one wants to do needs to be automated before we can remove money. This is the dream that Marx had for Communism. If you don't understand the basic foundation for achieving a true Communist society, then you are not educated enough to speak on the subject.

Kim Il-Sung tried demonetization prematurely from the dprk and it ended horribly. You cannot advance society into a Communist state without making the proper technological and material advancement necessary to support it. But you anarchists want to live in hippie communes and sing songs instead of advancing society. Marx did not advocate for a reverting back to tribal society, but a necessary progression from capitalism to socialism and eventually communism.

I'm a local union president, I hate Trump, and I believe blocking this deal is incredibly important. People are simply too easily manipulated these days. Protecting union jobs is the whole point of a union.

I work with the UAW and I'm reaching out to anyone in the St. Pete or greater Tampa Bay area about organizing your workplace. If you're unhappy with your wages, hours, or working conditions; please reach out. I would love to help organize your workplace. I've lived in Pinellas county my entire life and working class people are being priced out of their homes here. With the rising cost of living, we need to band together to demand better wages and force our employers to pay us what we're worth. Lets bring the labor movement down to St. Pete and stop job hopping from one sweat shop to another. I don't care what industry you work in, I just want to help you organize. United we bargain, divided we beg.
