I'm not smart. But thank you for the compliment.
animedad posted:crisis?
well, crisis gives the impression that is it some spontaneous occurrence outside the mechanisms of capitalism, rather than a function of it. similarly as to what jools was saying with liberal mythos and conditioning regarding capital strikes (not just w/r/t 2008 economic crash) as being a natural and acceptable functions of the "free market system" whereas labor strikes/disputes being an economic "crisis" -- a foreign, spontaneous occurrence outside the normal functioning of capitalism. i feel like there should be some marxian terminology describing that noumenon

discipline posted:a strike is a willful cessation of work. this would imply that capital works (it doesn't) and also that capital is an amorphous sentient being instead of a bunch of idiot fucking traders and factory owners. if capital stops moving it kills itself
so Capital is like a shark, only without the capacity for mercy or compassion

To be fair, occasional sacrifices were probably preferable to the mass genocide and physical and mental slavery of Spanish rule.

spanish imperialism was insanely murderous but the aztecs hardly limited themselves to "occasional sacrifices." they had constant street violence and war

maybe, at least. i don't think anyone can really say what the aztecs were like because both parties went out of their way to make them sound as metal as possible

And they're telling me, "You can't park your car in front of the shopping cart ramp at the main entrance." Well maybe if you didn't take 20 minutes to check me out when all I'm getting is a carton of milk! Fuck Wal-Mart.
milk huh
discipline posted:capital is the nastiest of the nasties, which is why no one ever says the word "capitalism" much anymore lol
in my subjective experience i feel like i have seen and heard more liberals write and talk about "capitalism" over the last five years than i had in my entire life previous, to the point that it does not seem like a Catchphrase when i talk about it with people anymore
but i think probably measured against like the entire century of 1870-1970 yeah probably you are right
