They discuss class struggle, which is marxist
Their emphasis on ‘institutions’ is anti-marxist
They seem to think the goal is liberal democracy, and that social democracy is necessary to prevent communist revolution from disrupting that goal

List of wars being involved in is not a list of countries being invaded and occupied, nice try though.
The bottom map is just a white map.
Garbage meme 1/5
See? You could have said that instead of posting falsified maps
honestly the map is too unserious to merit discussion

3·3 months agothere’s a whole debate going on
the 3rd link I posted (https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=OD-7o1jLxc8) is a reply to that cosmonaut article, which itself critiques Hickel
It’s a more classically Marxist way of looking at it.
Marx locates the origin of exploitation in the wage system.
I don’t think you’ll find unequal exchange mentioned in Marx or Engels.
Can we abolish exploitation by trade treaties? Or do we need to abolish capital?
Not sure which side of the debate I am on, still pondering.
Can you summarise?
There is no unequal exchange. Workers in more developed countries get paid more because they produce more per hour. There are statistics showing the amount of steel or the amount of grain produced per man-hour of labour in India might be 10-100 times lower than in the USA or UK (because workers use more technologically advanced tools).
Hickel’s paper says “We find that Southern wages are 87–95% lower than Northern wages for work of equal skill.” – but a worker of equal skill working a big induction furnace to a worker using a charcoal furnace produces more. He does more socially-necessary-labour per labour-hour.
So is it ultimately down to electromagnetic attraction on the microscopic scale?
