So, since it's been two years and most of you still haven't grasped Marxist theory, here's a quick refutation of a common strawman made by leftists and liberals.

They often claim that the Marxist Theory of Value describes labour as being the source of all value, which is easily refuted just by reading the first paragraph of the Gotha Criticism.

Labor is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as much the source of use values (and it is surely of such that material wealth consists!) as labor, which itself is only the manifestation of a force of nature, human labor power. the above phrase is to be found in all children's primers and is correct insofar as it is implied that la

It honestly seems really fucking racist to me. As a disclaimer, I'm not black and maybe black people don't give a shit about this, but to me you look incredibly condescending. Your fuckers write with the is pseudo-AAVE dialect, and we all fucking know you're faking it.

AAVE is a perfectly acceptable manner of speech. What's really fucking weird is you lot pretending to speak that way.

Prior to the establishment of the "Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China" under Wang Jingwei, there were two separate entities established by the Kwantung Army which both claimed to be the sole legitimate government of China. Why would the Japanese set up two puppets with conflicting claims like this?

There is a lot of apologia for colonialism going around lately, and so I've decided to compile some history and human geography regarding these regions of the world. Now, to be clear before we start because I know there's inevitably going to be some butthurt reactionary bitching in the comments, I am not assigning the blame for past Imperialism on present-day white people; nor am I asking you to feel guilt or responsibility for the sins of your Fathers, because that would be fucking moronic. Instead, I want to help clear up some historical misconceptions, urge you to do further research on your own, and get you to stop embarassing yourselves by praising [colonial power]. Okay? Okay.

How would one change "nemo me impune lacessit" to "no one grieves us with impunity"?

I've been wanting to read an in-depth account of the Leninist phase of the USSR and where it may have all gone wrong. On another note, are there any sources about the premiership of Rykov?

Seeing as I've met several decent people, and thought it could be a cool project for collaboration between people of different politics, I wanted to ask if anyone here would be interested in helping me world-build an alternate-future, which the writers among us can use as a setting for stories. In my opinion, this type of project benefits from having a diverse range of worldviews collaborating on it, so I thought people here might be interested.

Given the fanaticism of the European Fascists and the Japanese Racialists, one would've expected plans like Werwolf to gain more steam than they did. Why did the terrorists that the Allies feared never come to pass?

I occasionally have people ask me how I define capitalism and communism, and for the sake of brevity and not being a pain in the arse, I usually keep my answers a couple sentences long. This is a fairly typical response from me:

Capitalism is the production of commodities for exchange on the market for money, which can be invested into capital and used to produce more money. Human labour acts as a commodity.

Communism, has two related meanings. It is both the real, proletarian movement to abolish capitalism, as well as a descriptor for the society which succeeds capitalism. This society will've abolished commodity production and capital, replacing these with a free association of
