  • Contrary to metaphysics, dialectics holds that nature is not a state of rest and immobility, stagnation and immutability, but a state of continuous movement and change, of continuous renewal and development, where something is always arising and developing, and something always disintegrating and dying away. The dialectical method therefore requires that phenomena should be considered not only from the standpoint of their interconnection and interdependence, but also from the standpoint of their movement, their change, their development, their coming into being and going out of being.


    Nature is the test of dialectics, and it must be said for modern natural science that it has furnished extremely rich and daily increasing materials for this test, and has thus proved that in the last analysis nature’s process is dialectical and not metaphysical, that it does not move in an eternally uniform and constantly repeated circle, but passes through a real history. Here prime mention should be made of Darwin, who dealt a severe blow to the metaphysical conception of nature by proving that the organic world of today, plants and animals, and consequently man too, is all a product of a process of development that has been in progress for millions of years.



  • And you’ve exemplified the heart of my gripe: There is more to value than economic value.

    yes the Superstructure.

    Superstructrue is exactly this unmessurable mass that is not “konret” that doesnt have owners , can not be divided or counted etc…

    Art is aexample on how it work. Like “who Produces the Art for whom” is the “Relation of Production”… The Flemish Masters painted those tha t could affort their Product the Elite … therefore the Art from this era is filled with many many Ruler and Aristocrat Paintings , showing their Welth and Power… In the Sowjet Union the Painting where comissend by the working class (or in a working class Ideology) the Painting therefore Depict Socialist Themes etc. “Collectivism / Struggle / Classwar” …,

    and dont forget the Mirror relation <—>the other Art the “rebell” side of art is also shaped by the “Base” , even if it critizes it , it will critize its base…

    Btw this “superstructure and Base” thing is the “Dialectical and Historical Materialism” … very usefull concept to analyse the world with. Its like the “Atom of the Process” … there is always a “Base Need” that will shape “its Superstructure” …

    Crimea is Ukrainian in western ( “Superstructure”) … but certainly not in the messurable and touchable Soil (“Base” ) .

    and as Base shapes the Supersturcture --> every day that passes without Crimea beeing owned by Ukraine --> it belongs to Ukraine a little less --> until its gonna be like California and Mexico <-- --> And the Mirror relation is Ukraine know about this ! --> therefore wants to retake it (in Soil & Base) ,

    Not in the “Superstructure” ,in here Ukraine owns it allready , so there is no Issue … the Issue again … stems as always . from the Base … that is Russia “actually” owning it.


  • you have to walk there …

    Edit: wait needs more indeep…

    So you can not sell the Jetstream you can sell the Jet that uses the Jetstream , the Sailoboat that uses the Wind or you can build it yourself all of which need labour , without this labour the “Jetstream” has no value.

    we talk about Base Value NOT “Superstructure” Value , thinks you can touch … not like … “i enjoy sunsets value” but even that requires some labour or at least the absence of other labour necessities… , you made absent before hand by labouring… Freetime also derives its value and existance FROM Labour.



  • yesterday was late…

    important distinction is that you are with me on that comes from the Fact that you are working class.

    The Ruling Class (/ Elite / Passive Income Creditor Class / Bourgoise / Ownership Class / extractor Class ) lives from YOUR Labour , they are NOT with me on that .

    (Labour is the source of all Value)

    passiv income lives my others peoples Labour --> Parasiticlly , So it gonna have an Ideology that allows them to live by other peoples labour … And they will create a System that protects their Passiv income over all else … and they will not allow anybody to question their Income Or their System…

    And yes thats the System we have.

    "the Debt must be Payed! is the higest Maxime " … take the withering America for example…

    the Interest has now exceded ALL other expanses … it gets complettly suffrocated by the Passiv income Class… No healthcare , Not Pensions , No nothing… no houses … rent 1/2 of the Income … etc. And who is guilty on that Misery … ? They are … Even the Bible and the Torah allready forbade that sin… Because they Rule and they know of nothing that is more Holy than “Their Income , by YOUR Labour” … they will literally burn the planet down before they gonna give back even tiny fraqments of what they have taken … they are the CLASS ENEMY … the Parasite … because imagine a America freed from its Debt (Debt Cancelation) ? or an America freed from its Rent (Housing Reform /Landreform) … It will never happen…

    Because the “Common Class Interest” of all your Rulership will be to protect their Income. …Not America …

    Knowing to differentiate beetween “Active and Passiv Income” / “Working Class & Bourgoise” / “Plebs and Patricians”

    is Called “Class Counsiousness” , and the hole eternal War beetween Passiv (suffrocating) and active (building) Income is Called the “CLASSWAR”. … you probably have heard Marx:

    “The history of all hitherto existing society(2) is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master(3) and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes”

    revolutionary reconstruction is the like Golden Age , while the Common Ruin of the Contenting Classes is the “Dark age” , the Rulership of the Suffrocating capital that is threatend by all that is good.

    thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.



  • there is Investment into “schaffendes Kapital” —> productive Capital … it Produces … it Consumes … most of what it produces increases general wellbeeing (there is Consumer deemand because it does) …it is goodish side of Kapital

    there is Investment into “Raffendes Kapital” —> “Extracting Capital” … Rent & Interest… it does not Produce … no , it is evens dependent on Decreasing Production… decreasing general wellbeeing… decreased Housing --> increased Rent

    interest produces nothing as well , it extracts Money (by a mathematical calculation , that does not really exist) and then produces Guilt by Misfortune…

    –> it decreases general wellbeeing

    think about your Rent . what Percentage of your Wage do you Pay just for Rent ? You Pay because a Human necessity (housing) is made “scarce” …

    Productive Capital verus Extractive Capital


  • I’m not watching a video. Anything worth saying is better said in plain text.

    so you refuse to aquire new information ? lol …

    the Money you invest is the Money YOU laboured for (your active Income)

    the Money you Boss invests is also the Money YOU laboured for (his Passiv Income).

    its pretty wierd to imagine a definition .

    –> then demand that your definition is the prober one ,

    –> then refuse actually knowledge about the topic…

    Again, I wait tables and will not receive a pension;

    Your Employer (lives passivly by your labour) refuses to share enough of the “Surplus value” of your Labour with you for a Pension.

    He is your enemy. he wants you to labour as Hard as you can and he wants to pay you as little as he needs to

    he is Passiv Income… his income is what is redacted from your Wage.

    but i can do plain text as well : https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinsverbot (rightclick and translate , there is no english version you can wonder why )













  • "On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023:

    • Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;
    • Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(iii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);
    • Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or Murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);
    • Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i), or 8(2)(e)(i);
    • Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;
    • Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);
    • Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).

    My Office submits that the war crimes alleged in these applications were committed in the context of an international armed conflict between Israel and Palestine, and a non-international armed conflict between Israel and Hamas (together with other Palestinian Armed Groups) running in parallel. We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy. These crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day.

    My Office submits that the evidence we have collected, including interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, authenticated video, photo and audio material, satellite imagery and statements from the alleged perpetrator group, shows that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived the civilian population in all parts of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.

    This occurred through the imposition of a total siege over Gaza that involved completely closing the three border crossing points, Rafah, Kerem Shalom and Erez, from 8 October 2023 for extended periods and then by arbitrarily restricting the transfer of essential supplies – including food and medicine – through the border crossings after they were reopened. The siege also included cutting off cross-border water pipelines from Israel to Gaza – Gazans’ principal source of clean water – for a prolonged period beginning 9 October 2023, and cutting off and hindering electricity supplies from at least 8 October 2023 until today. This took place alongside other attacks on civilians, including those queuing for food; obstruction of aid delivery by humanitarian agencies; and attacks on and killing of aid workers, which forced many agencies to cease or limit their operations in Gaza.

    My Office submits that these acts were committed as part of a common plan to use starvation as a method of war and other acts of violence against the Gazan civilian population as a means to (i) eliminate Hamas; (ii) secure the return of the hostages which Hamas has abducted, and (iii) collectively punish the civilian population of Gaza, whom they perceived as a threat to Israel.

    The effects of the use of starvation as a method of warfare, together with other attacks and collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza are acute, visible and widely known, and have been confirmed by multiple witnesses interviewed by my Office, including local and international medical doctors. They include malnutrition, dehydration, profound suffering and an increasing number of deaths among the Palestinian population, including babies, other children, and women.

    Famine is present in some areas of Gaza and is imminent in other areas. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned more than two months ago, “1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger – the highest number of people ever recorded – anywhere, anytime” as a result of an “entirely manmade disaster”. Today, my Office seeks to charge two of those most responsible, NETANYAHU and GALLANT, both as co-perpetrators and as superiors pursuant to Articles 25 and 28 of the Rome Statute.

    Israel, like all States, has a right to take action to defend its population. That right, however, does not absolve Israel or any State of its obligation to comply with international humanitarian law. Notwithstanding any military goals they may have, the means Israel chose to achieve them in Gaza – namely, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population – are criminal.

    Since last year, in Ramallah, in Cairo, in Israel and in Rafah, I have consistently emphasised that international humanitarian law demands that Israel take urgent action to immediately allow access to humanitarian aid in Gaza at scale. I specifically underlined that starvation as a method of war and the denial of humanitarian relief constitute Rome Statute offences. I could not have been clearer.

    As I also repeatedly underlined in my public statements, those who do not comply with the law should not complain later when my Office takes action. That day has come."
