- Comment on Epstein email exchanges planned strategy, edits and reported progress 1 week ago:
To show that this whitewashing is an international problem I would like to refer to the page of our “beloved” Chancellor Friedrich Merz. For years the running gag (and fact) about him was that his German article starts with “Friedrich Merz is a lobbyist and politician”. In this order. Lobbyist first, politician second. Since he’s been elected the first mention of him working as a lobbyist has been relegated to the end of the second paragraph.

Yes, we have stuff like HTTPS nowadays, but I think that given a certain importance of an application, transfered data should be encrypted on the application level as well.

I’ve recently noticed a lot of new accounts which post a whole series of news articles and then get deleted. Notot fake news or conspiracies but mostly reputable sites. No idea what’s going on there.

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.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 months ago:
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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 months ago:
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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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.
