correction: In Gene Rottenbury's Nightmare Socialest Hellhole Future, differently-abled PoC's are actually a privileged and power-holding majority; it is the masculine white heterosexual male who has been thrust upon the trash heap of history, enslaved and beholden to Radical Feminist lesbian Admirals and bald Shakespearean incels

People who said the economy was the most important issue to them, and who disapproved of Obama’s economic record, were shown a graph of nonfarm employment over the prior year – a rising line, adding about a million jobs. They were asked whether the number of people with jobs had gone up, down or stayed about the same. Many, looking straight at the graph, said down.

lol scientists are obamailures

not sure what your point is here, nonfarm employment is the standard measure of employment used by the US government and when you hear people on the news say "the US gained x number of jobs last month" they're referring to nonfarm employment statistics from the BLS

obamailure

the Left, such as it is, merely rejects undialectical so-called "science" which has been so savagely twisted and reified in the service of Capital


ok ... but all the communist states that have ever existed, especially the ones you like to vocally admire and whose leaders you like to quote, have employed mechanized agriculture, developed nuclear reactors (and weapons), invested extensively in medical research ... it seems that communist regimes produce things that capital finds valuable, while capital produces knowledge and infrastructure that communism can inhabit or repurpose. hmmm what does it all mean

to quote crow (i think): "competition breeds homogeneity "

look at actually existing socialist countries and the focus they put on mathematics and science education.

which countries do you have in mind? i said before that i agree that saying "the left" is overly general and that i specifically have in mind a lot of the "green" parties that you find in the west, e.g. in the US and germany which promote "alternative medicine" or in france where nuclear power has more or less been abandoned entirely.
