Oh no, not my rep! Please oh mighty moll, spare me of your rep altering power! Seriously, grow up. It wasn't indended to deduct rep, it was ment to be a insult, please take it as it was intended. Honestly from the "communism" thread some time back you actually made some decent posts and...

In the wise words of a good mate of mine: Way to make an otherwise pathetic bourgeois politician feel an inflamed sense of self-importance.

Cite or STFU. What I think matters is his method. If Marx made incorrect predictions or conclusions this not important, what is import is the validity and utility of his method. /thread :rolleyes: Indeed, we are seeing a string upsurge in the class struggle internationally. However, I...

Marx was not a prophet, his "predictions" are of little importance. What is important in Marx is his method - historical materialism, understanding the course of history, the critique of alienation and the social effects of capitalism, the critique of classical political economy and the laws and...

Of course, I know this. Either way I think my post is a perfectly legitimate reply to an oft made argument made by many "marxists". Well I think this proves you're not completely good for nothing - at least you can crack a bloody good one liner.

Your contribution to this thread is highly valued.

Who really gives a damn. The CPA has run in the federal and state elections numerous times in the recent past. Besides, they're nothing more than a bunch of red-washed liberals, the left-wing of capital. This kind of mechanical determinism is foreign to Marxism, there is a clear tendancy...

Reading and comprehending are two very different things. Beside, I'd be interested to know what constitutes reading. "The big phrasebook of leftist rhetoric" doesn't count, though the supposed communists and ex-communists on this board will tell you otherwise. I wouldn't call them "homos"...

I try not to think back on my political past. I once occupied the anti-working class swamp of social-democratic and green politics. Luckily of course I got a job and happened upon Marx shortly afterward. Quite obviously, Graney, you were never much of a communist. I think your phase is best...

eh seriously, this isnt muc help. It's all been said before. Do you have any links? Detailed instructions on how to do it?

Update: My laptop will now no longer connect to my home network and I can't access the internet. Furthermore, the windows sidebar no longer displays gadgets, the gadgets are now white boxes. I'm going to try formatting it tommorow since it doesn't look like I have much way out now. Any...

As requested I have checked my graphics card in device manager (it's the one under "Display Adapters" right?). My NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 is displayed but it has a little yellow triangle with exclamation mark. What does this mean? I have tried updating the drivers for it automatically but it can...

Hi all, I have a really quick noob computer question. 3 days ago when i turned on my laptop the screen was like enlarged, stretched and pixelated. In addition to this problem the aero windows on Vista where disabled, the windows where the standard Vista block light-blue ones. Further, I can no...

@ Ronin - I will not be replying to your post and addressing the 'points' you have made due to both time and energy constraints. I have gained nothing and have nothing to gain from our (continued) dialogue as such I see no reason in continuing to waste my time on an individual who chooses to...

This sentence is incoherent. Aside from your terminology mistakes, what is "labour is being used to get something" meant to mean? In all human societies labour is necessary so as to produce and distribute articles of consumption necessary for human life. Labour will be still be necessary in a...

Again this is a meaningless statement. What is the communist social organisation to which you are referring? Why is it not practical on a large scale (Marxist hold the opinion that is only practical on a world scale)? Even if it were a less pragmatic form of social organisation, what relevance...

That is untrue. I am not a dogmatist who treats the works of Marx as holy writ and his every word as sacred and correct. If I did so I would also support participation in parliament, support participation (by revolutionaries) in trade unions, support (some) national liberation struggles...

The cult of Marx indeed... Neither of us cares a straw for popularity. A proof of this is for example, that, because of aversion to any personality cult, I have never permitted the numerous expressions of appreciation from various countries with which I was pestered during the existence of the...

To all, I will no longer be posting in this thread from Monday. I am now back at school and have no time to contend with this bullshit. I have defended my position for 40+ pages, making over 100 posts in this thread alone, as such my withdrawal is not a forfeit on the basis of my inability to...

Ronin, Ronin, Ronin, I'm so disappointed. Of all 12 points to which I responded, you reply to only one. What's the deal? Do you think ignoring them covers up your ignorance? Or do you not know how to reply? Either way I don't much care, I feel you have very little to offer in terms of valuable...
