  • I’ve said something along these lines before but that was when I was much newer to socialism.

    Now I’d say that if a community owned the means of clothes production that is not capitalism. If they give/sell them that also does not have to be capitalistic as long as the goal is not using commodities to make money for money’s sake.

    If you take that money and put it towards building other commodities thats also fine, any most political systems need a way to make new things. Marx called this C-M-C where you sell a commodity ©, transform it into money (M) and then use that money to get a new commodity ©. This makes sense because a commodity is only as valuable as you can use it, it’s use-value BUT if the end goal is money. Then it becomes a M-C relationship. Now the goal is money. Money is spent to buy stuff for the sole purpose of making money, there is no desire to use it only to extract the markup costs

    Lastly the people working there must own it. If a state-like figure owns it and makes the decisions in a heavy top-down fashion and profit is not openly shared then I think that is just state capitalism.

    They are saying because Kamala did not want mass ICE deportations that we wouldn’t be having mass ICE deportations in LA.

    Even if you believe Kamala and Trump share the beliefs/end goals/policies whatever, there is at least one distinction and that is she did not want mass ICE immigration. Therefore, she is LESS harmful.



  • Fun fact: Thunder does help plants grow, more specifically lighting does. When it lightnings the nitrogen in the air is split apart and combines with the oxygen in the air to form nitrogen oxide and gets washed down by rain into the soil and is absorbed by plants. After some lightning plants will usually look extra green.
