I.e. the TV channel Arte, which is a cooperation of French and German state media has a multipart documentary called Work, Salary, Profit that touches on a lot of fundamentals.
Of course there is always the option just to straight up read the original works by Marx, Smith and so on, but they are not for the feint of heart.

Well, to me that sounds a little like you prefer the term swimming over being called a swimmer.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 days ago:
Well, if you assume the farmer excludes others from using the means of production i.e. the fields, then yes you can argue that they are acting as capitalist. But you have to make the distinction between private and personal ownership: Private ownership of the land and personal ownership of the produce. The former is what communists reject. The latter is fine in their books.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 days ago:
It would certainly help a lot if you could tone down your condescending attitude a little.
I fail to see where anything you write is an actual argument against my distinction between different forms of working with the means to produce something. Yes, I’ve misread your vendor as a farmer, but that’s not a reason to go ad hominem.

All companies work that way, or they risk to fail. The maximization of profit stems from the need to stay competitive. If your competitor can produce the same amount of goods for a lower price, you won’t be able to sell yours for a cost-covering price and therefore go bankrupt. Instead, you then have to find a way to be more efficient by investing in your business. To be able to invest, you have to have created profit. Once you have done that, your competitor has to do the same and the cycle starts anew. That’s the idea of modern capitalism.
By my reading you’re taking the use of the first term and then saying they are using the second term. I think this is called equivocation.
I am not sure what you mean by that. I tried to show that just because someone sells something, they are not necessarily a capitalist.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 days ago:
I’m not sure why people always insist if money is involved that it’s capitalism. Money is an abstract form of trade. No one is suggesting that trade will cease to exists in a world without capitalism.

What does a farmer having inputs have to do with my argument being removed from reality?
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 days ago:
A farmer selling their produce is not necessarily a capitalist. A farmer toiling on their own field sells the fruit of their own labor, so to speak. One step up are what Marx calls “Little Masters”: They own and work their means of production, but sometimes have employees such as farmhands or apprentices (Think companies where the owner still works in the workshop). Actual capitalists are detached from the production process: They no longer work, but simply own the so-called means of production and exploit others by buying their labor force for less than their produced result is worth.

It’s not about getting a proper result. It’s about getting less work to do and just as much of a pain in the ass in general.

Update:
The printer is a Prusa MK4S with stock parts.
The filament is by recyclingfabric.
I have run through all relevant calibrations in Orca Slicer and the blobs still happen but only when using these circular patterns. I’ve printer the bracket I designed. Need to further tune the edges but overall it seems good to me:

Prusa MK4S with Stock Hotend and Extruder.
- Comment on Filament blobs 2 weeks ago:
The calibration pattern appears to have a hardcoded top layer. Changing it in the slicer does nothing.
The calibration page lists some examples which look a lot cleaner. Also, I tried another opened filament that was stored in a closed plastic bag and the blobs are less pronounced. So the third test is going to be a fresh filament.

- Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad. 4 weeks ago:
I’m going to throw the Prusa Core One into the ring:
The first thing you will probably notice compared to something like Bambu Labs printers is the price. Yes, it’s high. However, Prusa is doing a lot more than just building 3D Printers, they are also developing the slicer software PrusaSlicer which many, including Bambu Labs Slicer, are based on and make it available for free to anyone. Also, their customer support is top of the line.
Don’t let the fact that you assemble the printer from the ground up let you scare away. I am not exactly a precision engineer myself and got everything working flawlessly on my first try.

- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 5 weeks ago:
I’d say if they are solely an investment, then yes you are part of the problem. Because you expect a return on your investment and so inherently rent has to be increased to generate the necessary profits.
If you’d live in a house that has more room than you need and rent these out that’s fine in my book. But possession solely for profit is one of the main problems of our current economic system.

Whether assisted suicide is legal depends on entirely on your jurisdiction.
Over here in Germany, assisted suicide is still a highly delicate matter from a legal perspective. Actively assisting in a suicide is straight up illegal, and even passively by just providing the means is at best in a gray zone. Despite our highest court having overturned the outright ban on assisted suicide, our various governments since this ruling have failed to pass any legislation on the matter.
As @vk6flab@lemmy.radio pointed out, there are so-called Advanced Health Directives, which in essence contains information for medical personnel on what to do in case you can’t communicate your will clearly anymore. Which i.e. can include that you do not want to be feed artificially and instead only request to ease the pain till death.
I would like to be a nurse for at the least the next ten years to help people.
Are you a nurse already? If so, you probably have access to a lot more and less traumatizing options to pass on than asking someone to shoot you.
Anyhow, I highly sympathize with your situation and hope that you still have many good and joyful days ahead of you.
