Enough braying
The only “capitalism” in Europe is of Lenin’s “state capitalism” model.
Denouncing science is a stupid place to start a political screed.
Excellent...akin to the definition of cultural Marxism.
Marxism has been a very costly set of errors.
When has Marx ever been RIGHT???
Marxists always end up resorting to murder, intimidation or mass incarceration to impose their mandates. Mao and Stalin killed probably near one hundred million which the new left never mentions. Marxists consider it to be justified by the nobility of their intentions.
If? IF?
That cretin did a pretty good job of being wrong about everything.
You lost me as soon as you started talking about leaded gasoline. First, lead wasn’t taken out of gasoline to reduce lead exposure, it was taken out because the chemical additive fouls catalytic converters that clean the unburnt by products of combustion. As a person who hates driving behind old, pre-catalytic cars because they all stink I am glad of it. The relatively clean air around cities today compared to 40 years ago is at testament to the value of taking out lead and adding catalysts.
The reduction of environmental lead was a happy by-product of that change which has had it own beneficial results. Lead is toxic to the nervous system. I work in a lead acid battery factory and we take lead exposure very seriously, monitoring every employee, even those of us us in the offices, regularly. In children the effects are pronounced at much lower levels than adults so as a parent I am very happy that particulate exhaust and road dust are not a source of lead for my children.
I stopped reading at that point. If you are going to bring up something tangential to your point, at least get your facts straight so you don’t ruin your credibility up front.
“Science” is now political; scientists spend much of their time recruiting public and private research grants. To get the grants, they must present liberal ideas that the American people have been led are true. In fact, such ideas are “unscientific”!!! I don’t think the American people will ever catch on the duplicity.
Um, when you have to try to make a political point by trying to discredit science (and, by extension, the scientific method), you fail dramatically.
Political “science” is not science, but a discipline of sociology—which basically assumes that people can be molded into any unnatural behavior by the proper conditioning.
Real science examines the natural world, makes logical assumptions based on observed facts about that world (aka “hypotheses”), and tests those assumptions. When the assumptions are shown to be incorrect, scientists revise them to take into account the new data and retest. In this way, little by little, the true nature of the world is revealed. The scientific method is, by its nature, self-correcting, and eventually does get to the truth. You cannot force science to demonstrate untrue things about nature, no matter how much you want to, and you cannot advance technologically unless you understand natural laws. For example, science fiction makes the concept of faster-than-light travel very exciting. But physics has established that it is impossible to go faster than light. No matter how much we want to disbelieve the physical law that makes exceeding light speed impossible, we cannot make a vehicle that travels faster than light. It won’t work.
Marxism has nothing to do with science. If anything, it is anti-science, in that it tries to impose behavior systems on human societies that conflict with our natural, biologically-driven, social structures. Physical law absolutely cannot be broken, not even by dedicated Marxists.
Science a scam? Who knew?

Marx's exploitation theory is wrong because:
1) the abstract conceptual framework, which states that the final wage of workers = the worker's income from labor - profit, is wrong. The actual formula is worker's income = demand for labor/supply of labor.
2) Marx's formula for price, which stated that price = quantity of labor time to produce the product/quantity of labor time to produce a dollar's worth of gold was wrong. The actual formula is price = demand/supply.
3) Marx's version of the iron law of wages, which states that wages will tend to equal subsistence, is wrong. Wages in a free market economic system are able to increase without limit.
Then computers don’t exist.
Marx was wrong.
