@jacobin Apparently it doesn't help Jacobin understand anything because they are STILL a pro-Democratic rag. This is an absolutely abysmal thread. As usual, they make a total hash of Marx, and as usual, no mention of the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF MARXISM: THE NECESSITY OF AN INDEPENDENT…

@pingmeharder @strike_dr It is not a lie. It is a reality that must be changed. Calling it a lie denies its reality, and hence, denies the need for it to change.

@BenjaminACarter @MattLech No I haven't, and yeah that's wretched. I didn't give her more than a moment's thought after I first heard of her before she started talking about the Israel-Gaza conflict, precisely because she struck me as very dishonest.

@cafreiman No, it is a critique of the labor theory of value. You guys should really try actually reading the thing you're trying to criticize.

Socialism is again a major current in American life, and the Right has been freaking out over it nonstop. Socialists have to explain what we’re really for: giving people a say in how every aspect of their lives is run.
