Competition, which is keenest in a period of crisis like the present, calls for the invention of an increasing number of new devices to reduce the cost of production. But the domination of capital converts all these devices into instruments for the further exploitation of the workers.

yes we are definitely in agreement here. & ye its fair enough reacting negatively if you read me as saying the truth about the death star didn't matter sorry if I came off as patronising - I was trying to avoid a misunderstanding and clarify what I was saying, but I obvs didn't do a great job 😅

I don't agree that OP is giving an example of political education though, I think they're advocating telling people what they want to hear. obviously you should try to reach people with different perspectives, but I think you should also challenge them where their interpretations veer from reality.

unfortunately a necessary one. lots of people are more interested in comfortable beliefs than in accurate beliefs and we need to shake everyone out of that mindset. people's unearned faith in the redeemability of anglosphere "democratic" institutions draws them to ineffective political strategies.

what resonates with me personally is always what resonates with everyone else and narratives that don't resonate with me personally are useless, no matter how much more accurate they are or what non-me demographics might favour them

yeah this is the thing isnt it, if Israel allowed equal rights (including voting rights) to all inhabitants of the areas it de-facto controls then it would cease to exist. therefore it is illegitimate

I've now been here for over 10 hours. I've had a canula in my arm for 9 of them. Nothing has been done with the canula, or me. It hurts now. The NHS is so broken. George Osborne, Matt Hancock, Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid, Wes Streeting, Yvette Cooper... all of them should be pulled apart by horses.

no investigation, no right to speak! you must investigate! you must not talk nonsense!
no investigation no right to speak

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense? 

It won't do!

It won't do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!

this is the ridiculous result of the liberal mind that it draws comparison primarily by looking for surface level similarities in methods rather than in the political history, conditions and rationale behind those methods. genuinely laughable.

if you were brutally stabbed by a guy with a knife and instead of talking about the guy with the knife and instead of talking about that guy and his history of stabbing ppl my first instinct was comparing it to unrelated guys with knives in far off lands I think you'd be pretty pissed at me

the only liberalism that rejects "authoritarianism" is the one you made up in your head all the "actually existing liberalism" that has governed in the west has been extrodinarily violent & oppressive. perhaps though "true liberalism hasn't been tried yet" eh?

because your question is stupid and pedantic. you are deliberately ignoring and minimising important historical context in a vain attempt to redeem the united states. yes this is a reactionary movement but where did it come from? it did not come from Kabul or Raqqa I can tell you that.

lynchings of black people in america have routinely had de-facto local state backing and been facilitated by the police. people sold postcards and other merch for them. they were public affairs that people were clearly invited in advance because they brought their children with them.

your insistence on focusing on minutia that this has in common with daesh, the taliban etc despite far greater and more relevant commonalities with american lynchings is telling.

america is a country of lynchings and exploitation whose stated ideals have never meant anything. its state cannot be redeemed and must be utterly destroyed. your desire to reinterpret the history will not change it. it just renders your political efforts useless.

Labour has held the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, with Sagal Abdi-Wali retaining the seat for the party despite a hard-fought contest from Green Party leader Zack Polanski.
The result preserves Labour's long-standing grip on the constituency, and disrupts Polanski's momentum.
Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Megan Kenyon and Ben Walker to discuss.
