The question of Free Trade or Protection moves entirely within the bounds of the present system of capitalist production, and has, therefore, no direct interest for us socialists who want to do away with that system. Indirectly, however, it interests us inasmuch as we must desire as the present system of production to develop and expand as freely and as quickly as possible: because along with it will develop also those economic phenomena which are its necessary consequences, and which must destroy the whole system: misery of the great mass of the people, in consequence of overproduction. This overproduction engendering either periodical gluts and revulsions, accompanied by panic, or else a chronic stagnation of trade; division of society into a small class of large capitalist, and a large one of practically hereditary wage-slaves, proletarians, who, while their numbers increase constantly, are at the same time constantly being superseded by new labor-saving machinery; in short, society brought to a deadlock, out of which there is no escaping but by a complete remodeling of the economic structure which forms it basis.

Friedrich Engels, On the question of free trade (via shituationist)

Most of the criticisms of the labor theory of value are moral justifications for profit, i.e., the capitalist is entitled to profit because of this or that reason. Marx, though, doesn’t even condemn capitalism on a moral basis. Exploitation of labor power is value neutral, and Marx never supported a system where everyone received “the full value of their labor”, since that would make investment impossible. Capitalism is condemned, for Marx, by its own internal contradictions, namely, the long-term tendency of the rate of profit to fall.

Moral arguments for capitalism aren’t hard to find. There’s no shortage of academics who will trot out the claim that capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system. Marx himself wouldn’t necessarily disagree. After all, he spent a good bit of the Communist Manifesto extolling bourgeois revolutions and defending the gains made by the bourgeoisie from reactionary socialists.

Marx simply recognized the inherent limitations of capitalism as a mode of production in addition to its achievements. He demonstrated that capitalism was an historical system, one created by human beings, and one that will inevitably be superseded as a result of material necessities.

If you can watch the video of richard spencer refer to jews, poc, and other “degenerates” as “worthless creatures” and still say that we can’t fight fire with fire, that wanting to attack nazi’s makes you as bad as one, or that we just need dialogue, I want to be unequivocally clear: you are my enemy and you put my life and the life of my friends and family in danger.

I enjoy broadway musicals more than most people, because I was raised on them but I can't imagine what Adorno would think of them. He'd probably get apoplectic.

Honestly 2016 has been shit but the music has been great. Gucci's out the Feds, everyone dropped new records. Almost makes up for everything else that happened in this dystopian year of the devil.

other great facts:

- he based his bank robbery plan off The Godfather and Al Pacino ended up playing him and John Cazale played his accomplice - referred to himself as ‘the gay Babe Ruth’ - when he got out of jail he applied for a job as a security guard at the same bank with a T-shirt that said ‘I robbed this bank’ and put Al Pacino down as a reference - the robbery attempt was broadcast on TV and a crowd of LGBTQ activists came to cheer him on
