Also the fact that they have monopoly on claiming they're for "freedom" by only acknowledging negative rights as legitimate.

We're paying the prize of that with this antivaxer bullshit now

Negative rights right wingers rly be like freedom is when you are allowed to do nothing

Centralization good for something affecting the whole state but a disparate group of sub centers can better serve peoples local needs through inherent specialization

What state? Aren't you an anarchist? :elon:

Terrible choice of words I shouldve said collective or community

accurate

anyone know much about the english revolution?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Revolution

or the dutch revolt?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Revolt

My knowledge of post-Roman, pre-Napoleonic Europe is mad lacking

I learned about the dutch revolt at school for obvious reasons but consciously erased all the info from my memory

im reading some about it rn but its like impossible to f***ing follow for some reason

just too many kings queens militias parliaments constitutions dutchess barons lords etc

they honestly teach this s*** horribly in school

Feudal relations were like the pinnacle of social contradiction

I mean i live in the Netherlands so i did learn abt it more extensively i just never gave a f***

afaik these are just two of the most early bourgeois revolutions prior to the french revolution

capitalism was developing in the the areas of production but the superstructure of the state was still feudal so these basically jst removed thme from their respective countries

say hi to joma

any good Richard Wolff vids

Good as in — not hyper-fixating on worker co-ops as a gateway into understanding socialism?

About any topic specifically?

Richard Wolff is best for an introduction to Marxism and his a***yses on current economic developments imo

It's a good and effective gateway imo especially for Westerners who have been brainwashed by the legacy of the cold war
