id start a nuclear war for a dorito
No your thinking too logically, and thinking about this scenario like its the real world at all. This hypothetical is so unrealistic that it changes all dynamics and makes things like that non-functional. You have to think about it from the perspective of all value, and all wealth derives from workers. So as soon as all workers are class conscious the rich stop being rich. You can’t reward cops, and politicians for serving you if the workers you need to use to reward them wont work.
Its not a realistic scenario at all, its like hitting a magic red button and dissolving capitalism instantly. Even 90% class consciousness works like how your describing because there are still mechanisms for the rich to reward their elites, but in a 100% scenario that all breaks down. If 100% of people had true class consciousness and just inherently knew how to make their material conditions better everyone would turn on the rich except the rich. Theres no logical reason at that point not to do so. Money literally becomes valueless, and every worker could go on strike and every other workers would support them. The reason the mechanisms to keep control of society by the rich work now is because they divide and conquer. If everyone stopped listening all at once there is no way to keep control. Its already over at that point.
Right now in the real world yes thats true. In this hypothetical where everyone is class conscious thats not the case tho. Its not a realistic hypothetical tho. But the systems the capitalists use to reward those cops for protecting them would entirely collapse, and the cops if they were class conscious would know this, and switch sides immediately since their material conditions would be better for it.
I would argue we only need wages to subsist because there are so few of us with class conciousness. If everyone had it we could simply stop using money, and like grocery store workers, and farmers, and truck drivers just keep doing their jobs, but give the food out for free to people, and everyone could just stop paying rent, etc. Just stop participating in the capitalist system because there would be so few people left that would try to punish you for it. Thats why “everyone” being class conscious is a bit silly because its not a realistic thing to just happen overnight, and if it did then it would be like everyone suddenly agreed to overthrow the rich all at once. There wouldnt be a need for a struggle at that point really.
the bourgeoise do not fight their own battles tho. They would have nobody left to give orders to. So how would they wage war.
if the cops were truly class conscious theyd know that theyd be better off not being the ruling classes dogs.
if it was a billionaire id watch with glee
no need for a revolution as in like we wouldn’t need to bother since everyone would just agree that ya we should do socialism
if EVERYONE was class conscious there wouldn’t be a need for a revolution. That would even include cops so we could just stop listening to the rich and ignore them lol. What are they gonna do about it in that imaginary scenario?
Violence is abhorred by the liberal elites unless its being done by the state they control. To break the monopoly on violence they have you have to be violent.
being eaten by lions would be terrifying too but you dont see me being terrified cuz im not about to go jump in the enclosure. Just like im not an idiot billionaire climbing into an amateur submarine.
This reminds me of when i read about ancient norse gift giving culture years ago. Apparently it was expected that when you had a relationship like say a friend youd give them a gift, and youd get a gift back that was a little better usually. But it was considered really rude to give someone a huge gift that would be a burden for them to gift you something similar in return. Since the expectation was theyd give an equal or better gift back, and your placing this huge social burden on them to come up with something appropriate.
the BEEest password is the BEEee movie script with all the letter "B"s replaced with BEE BEEecause noBEEody expects it
Dont think its possible now since they can’t change the ballots. Plus Trump probably likes JD. JD is a little door mat and thats exactly what Trump wants. Somebody who will do as their told no matter what. That was why him and pence broke up cuz pence would disobey him, and undermine him when he tried to do stupid shit.
In general even if your donating the blood for free they will still charge the person who gets the blood thousands of dollars at least in the US. They might just bill it as the service of sticking the needle in and hanging the bag up for you or whatever, but in essence they do charge for the blood and make a profit off of it.
I do think its a good thing to donate and help people, but i also do think that companies take advantage of the situation to make a profit off of it, and it is definitely exploitation. Donating blood plasma specifically is not a fun process, and it can leave a permanent scar on your arm if done a lot. The pay for it compared to the problems, and the profits they make on it is definitely understandable to see as a scam.
Now is the answer to that to just let people who need blood die? Obviously no. The answer is the make laws that say companies must provide a fair market rate for peoples plasma if selling it, or ideally just make laws that make all healthcare free so its not an issue anymore.
Not only that but they’ll blame modern day haitians for their ancestors actions, but refuse to even admit they benefited financially from the fact their ancestors owned slaves. It goes back to the whole thing where whites get judged as individuals and non-whites get judged by the actions of their most easily vilified peers.
In 1804. Do these idiots not think about what the USA was doing in 1804?
I mean i have no knowledge of it but if i was China id be offering all the countries opposed to the US like Venezuela counter intelligence services. Theyve got the resources to pull it off. Just station a few dozen counter intel people in the country and alert domestic agents if they find anything.
Yes thats exactly what i was trying to get across. Thank you for putting it in such easy to digest language comrade.
