I like to think that as aloof as Garfield behaves, the reason he hates Mondays is because Jon leaves the house

Chimp out is a racist term it's not even a dog whistle but it's not very widely known outside of a subculture on the internet

Donald Trump calls JD Vance into a conference room near the oval office and there's a trough there filled with slop and Trump says all right eat up you disgusting pigman and gestures for JD Vance to kneel in front of the trough and partake

Everyone in this room from myself to my girlfriend to the animals is farting back and forth like a song where everyone gets two solos. Absolutely bringing down the house in here.

According to the algebraic identities put forth in this ad 1 gummy will feel like a warm fuzzy blanket for your brain and two gummies will be headaches and empty calories.

Or is it cumulative? So two gummies is like one glass of wine then four gummies is like two glasses of wine?

I would like them to read Marx without the influence of the later authors that said that they were being true to the vision of Karl Marx but weren't.

Biblical scholars have to put aside later interpretations of the New testament and just read the damn thing

Anything was better than the tsarist regime and anything would have been better than what the Bolsheviks did. Socialism is not some delicate ember that needs to be nursed into a fire. It's powerful and immediate and the Russian revolution proves that.

Capitalism is an extractive system that concentrates wealth upwards to those with capital. If there were a system working against that there would be more wealth actually circulating through the economy making such a plan worth doing on its own.

However I prefer abolishing rather than reforming

For instance Marx rarely talked about how revolution would come about or what would happen to establish socialism.
Marx believed that it would be a spontaneous worker-led revolution, the kind that swept Lenin into power, Lenin insisted that it would have to be a bunch of elite insular dorks

The workers did control the means of production during the Free Soviet era in 1917 until the Free Soviets were disbanded. It does not have to be a process. The Russian revolution was a spontaneous worker-led revolution that did not need a vanguard then or after

It is a profoundly mistaken reading of Marx to simplify his theory into once the value form is gone capitalism will too.
The vision of Marx is that workers control the means of production and as an emergent property of that they control society instead of capital controlling the state and production

No Marxist-leninist project has ever built socialism much less communism. And most what they have done is some public welfare programs that Democratic socialist states have done better and they aren't socialist either. MLs in fact have destroyed socialism like they did in revolutionary Russia
