/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Marx talks about this in 18th Brumaire: bourgeois society is unheroic, but it needs heroes for bourgeois revolution. They wrap themselves in the imagery of revolutionary moments of the past and awaken their dead to make their ghosts walk again to glorify new struggles. Instead of birthing new revolution they take poetry from the past to dress up in its skin.

    Marx is so fuckin goth y'all holy shit.

  • Why do many people here claim that liberals believe in nothing?

    Jump

  • Liberals believe stuff, they just don't believe anything is possible. They believe in a ton of disparate things they pick up in their ideological shopping cart that have nothing to do with each other and then jam them all together, regardless of contradictions or outright mutual exclusivity. This creates fundamental structural impossibilities in their belief system, and they just accept it.

    They believe in equal opportunity at the same time and with the same intensity as they believe that rich parents should be able to help their children get ahead. It's impossible to have both, and they reconcile this by saying "perfection is the enemy of the good" and then find some stupid horrible middle ground. Instead of just eliminating debt so everyone has equal opportunity to go to college, we eliminate the debt for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in a disadvantaged community.

  • What's everyone's opinions on letting minors above a certain age do some part-time labor?

    Jump

  • Let me rephrase.

    Hour-for-hour, underage labor simply isn't as productive as adult labor. Its uses are either logistical (there aren't enough adult laborers to do the work) or criminal (teens can be more easily exploited). In an advanced society there shouldn't be any need for teens to do any work, because there aren't labor shortages and bourgeois criminals go to prison instead of paying fines.

    In such a society the only reason for teens to be doing work is if they were learning. They simply aren't needed for anything else. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be paid, but rather, that the purpose of hiring teens is to teach them. Their labor is surplus.

  • What's everyone's opinions on letting minors above a certain age do some part-time labor?

    Jump

  • In early stages of development I could see underage labor being necessary, but I just don't think it has a place at higher stages of development beyond being purely educational. A well functioning socialist state doesn't need or want teens to clean the park because they already have a well paid team of adults dedicated to that job.

  • But China has twice as much base-load battery capacity 100% of the time and built three times as much solar capacity this year alone. In my other comment I highlighted how they plan to have a mere 200 GW of nuclear capacity by 2035 - they plan to have 6 times that much solar capacity by 2030! Nuclear is not a priority. Whatever part is has to play, it's not the star of the show.

    Do you think regulations are holding back nuclear in China too? Or do you think, maybe, it's just an inferior power source?

  • What's everyone's opinions on letting minors above a certain age do some part-time labor?

    Jump

  • Under capitalism this inevitably leads to minors being required to do part-time labor.

    Minors with walking around money incentivize vendors to raise prices and landlords raise rents, and meanwhile wages fall because the supply of labor goes up. So instead of families needing 2 incomes to survive, now they need 3 (or 4 or 5 or-). Then the economy comes to rely on the additional part-time labor, no one cleans the park unless the teens do it.

  • UN risks 'imminent financial collapse', secretary general warns

    Jump

  • It's currently $1.6 billion in the hole, and adding $227 million per month because the fund is being looted. Seems like something any large country could step in and resolve with additional funding, gaining a huge amount of leverage for a very reasonable price.

  • What this demonstrates is that China will use whatever the most efficient power generation is that gets electricity to the maximum number of people and industries for the lowest cost. They aren't installing solar because they want to save the world, they're doing it because it works. It's better than anything else on the market and so they're investing.

    Notably, they are not installing nuclear power at the same rate. They plan to have 200 GW of nuclear capacity by 2035, but they're installing more than that in solar capacity every year. That should tell you something.

  • With some light searching I found that the total amount of nuclear power capacity on Earth today adds up to 371.5 GW

    Meanwhile, China built 315 GW of solar capacity in the last year. Solar panels don't charge at night, obviously, which is why China is also installing base load in the form of grid-scale battery storage and already has 215 GWh online today with plans to surpass 721 GWh by 2027.

    While we wait 10-15 years to build more nuclear power plants, China is just going to keep pumping out more and more solar panels and base-load battery stations faster and faster. I'm entirely soured on nuclear.
