The purpose of the “Russian bot” accusation is to use an unfalsifiable claim to avoid actually having to engage with someone’s arguments without admitting that you can’t rebut them

I can’t say I’ve ever heard that definition of value of labor power. I was under the impression that “value of labor power” meant the total value that a worker produces, part of which is appropriated by the capitalist as surplus value.
Why would capitalists pay these workers as much as, or more than, the value of their labor? That means you’re getting zero or negative surplus value from them - in other words, the capitalist is either not making money or is actively losing money by employing them.
In Divided World Divided Class Zak Cope maintains that there’s no legally (illegally, yes, but if one is paid min wage and working legal hours, no) exploited workers in the global north. He is using the marxist definition of exploitation i.e. “being paid less than the value of the products of your labour”, so he isn’t arguing it doesn’t suck to work a min wage job, but he is arguing that anyone paid the legal minimum wage is paid over and above the value of the products of their labour (if they are even a productive labourer).
If that’s the case, then why can minimum wage workers in the Global North not afford homes or healthcare, when people in non-imperialist socialist states like China, Cuba, and Vietnam tend to have both of these?
lol they gave Ukraine fancy NATO gear hand over fist and Russia turned it all to scrap
You’re just gonna have to get over the fact that whitey doesn’t rule the world
There is no such thing as legitimate opposition to genocide. Anyone who professes such a thing is just saying it to piss people off. Hamas? Trolls! The Houthis? Trolls! The International Criminal Court? Trolls! The huge crowds of protestors across the US? Trolls, every last one of them!
No, no you should not. No investigation, no right to speak.
“Uhhhh ‘the machine’ is clearly Big Woke that’s trying to make us all gay trans Muslims. It’s like you don’t know anything 🙄”
You literally accused someone of being a paid Kremlin agent because they had facts and opinions you didn’t like lmao
What does a rapper have to do with it?
If you know so little about your own country’s credit scoring system, you shouldn’t speak so confidently about one on the other side of the world.
angry at YouTube for trying to uphold a stream of revenue, when it’s the only thing that makes the platform possible.
In capitalist hellworld perhaps, but in any decent society such a service would be maintained by the state as a public utility.
people in the west seem to just implicitly trust Nazi propaganda. It’s an odd phenomenon.
Nazism wasn’t beaten in WW2, it was internationalized
No, you see, Display name@feddit.nu is the one true interpreter of the desires of all people. We should just let them pick every government since clearly they know best.
Fuck off genocide apologist
Funny how on the rare occasion they respond to posts like this one, it’s to make a snide comment about Russian bots
“If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
