    Watch out people we got an econ 101 grad amongst us, if we’re not careful he’ll pull out his Mas Colell textbook and start babbling about maximizing utility curves and general equilibrium

        political science degree

        Imagine boasting about having a degree in modern-day phrenology.

        You see, this graph shows the Slavic brainpan cannot comprehend liberal institutions …

        you have someone with a political science degree and a minor in econ

        Not even trying to dunk, just realize that this is not impressive, and certainly not authoritative. When someone questions your expertise the two acceptable responses are:

        1. Yes, I am an actual expert, with extensive schooling and/or relevant work experience.
        2. I’m not claiming to be an expert, but here’s where I’m getting my information, where are you getting yours?

            You claim to know something about Marx, ok let’s test that knowledge of yours with the simplest possible question

            According to Marx what are the sources of capitalist profit?

              @gowan@reddthat.com

              Just giving you a second chance to answer the simplest possible question about Marx. I’m guessing you didn’t see the notification the first time given you’ve been active after it was posted, and you could very easily demonstrate your knowledge of Marxism.

              You know, cause otherwise people are going to think you were lying about learning about Marxism.

                  According to Marx what are the sources of capitalist profit?

                  I thought that was too easy, so bonus question

                  how does automation contribute to the tendency of rate of profit to fall according to Marx?

                  Edit: as of edit it’s been 8 hours, with this users last activity being 3 hours ago.

        Nah you have someone with a political science degree and a minor in econ. I have talked to many people who seem to have no formal education in the listed fields and refer back to things like breadtube as a valid source.

        So the two most “priesthood class of capital” useless degrees lol.

        Read Capital, the economics you’ve learned still haven’t grappled with it successfully.

        Edit: you claim to have read Marx. Please, tell me how automation connects to the tendency of the rate of profit to drop according to Marx. It’s one of the core parts of his analysis so it should be easy to remember.

          This is extra funny because explaining how neoclassical economics is a religion rather than any form of scientific or even material system is a common criticism made by Anthropologists.

            But anthropology doesn’t have the nice graphics and the math that doesn’t really have any empirical data behind it, anthropology isn’t a real science unlike neoclassical economics!

        The DPRK is socialist and not a hereditary autocracy. It has been the consistent direction of the head of the executive branch to diffuse authority to other offices, but nearly everything you have ever heard about this country was a lie.

            It literally has handed power down from father to son twice.

            It has had sons win elections and then hold the office twice. We can call it dynastic in a sense similar to US political dynasties, but that’s different from being literally hereditary.

            As the citizens cannot advocate for a change in leaders, a change in direction of the party or an entirely new political system

                    I believe participation is mandatory, like in Australia, and given the travel limitations (the part of a percent that doesn’t vote are usually people traveling), it makes sense that it would be so high. Of course, since we have a wonderful freedom of speech in this country where the rich are free to buy media companies and promote the stories they want to promote, the idea of actually investigating the elections for a purpose other than vilification is hardly going to creep into search engine results. Here’s a compilation of sources that attempt to explore it from that angle:

          He’s got a MINOR in economics! And he’s here to tell us all about how beautiful and elegant the math is. You can’t really appreciate it unless you step into the rarified air surrounding an econometrics professor, you would understand if you ever tried it.

          The only field more embarrassing than PoliSci is arguably EvoPsych, with the caveat that most academics don’t consider EvoPscyh to be a real field.
