subjecting him to ricardo because he's been a bad dog

mildly funny that i have an internet reputation as an infantile ultra but my real life organizing is dsa centrism. sorry for letting everyone down but actually i think we should run outward-facing campaigns where the base we're trying to politically activate isn't just other socialists on the internet or whatever

[edwad]

little known fact that there are more options available to us than just endless protesting and/or waiting for the revolution

[edwad]

when protesting is ineffective so the alternative is revolution but revolution isn't coming so the only thing we can do is scream about the unfairness of the world in public etc etc. over and over again until we're all dead

i bet if we just protested and held some signs up then nothing bad would ever happen again

[edwad]

Who would you say were liberals, contemporary or prior to marx that had similar thoughts on small shopkeepers, or pb or whatever?

marx is just pulling from sismondi descriptively, but drawing different conclusions

Didn't malthus indirectly inspire evolutionary biology? If any economist deserved to have a pet named after them it'd be him ngl

ur literally right as hell for this

[edwad]

being told by my lawyers that ricardo is a tolerable name for the lizard but malthus is not allowed

chairwoman janis ian weighing in on dialectics and the decline of the party-form

it's been years since i said this but i used to consider between the lines to be my favorite album. haven't rly listened thru it in years but. My God. how did she do it

[edwad]

lover's lullabye is the best song to end an album with because the only possible thing to do after that is to listen to the whole thing again

[edwad]

[edwad]

listening to janis ian and don mclean at an irresponsibly young age taught me that it was possible to write songs like that. and now nothing will ever be good enough again

[edwad]

the only good thing is that i somehow managed to avoid tom waits until much later otherwise i would probably smoke 2 packs a day and wear a bowler hat

[edwad]

also growing up listening to janis ian's between the lines and always feeling frustrated that watercolors is underhyped only to learn that she'd originally intended for that to be the single/title track until her label made her change it..... i understand her on a different level
