****ing coward

jwb

so basically Marxism set the foundation for/evolved into post modernism?

jwb

Zizek is a communist

It was a yes or no question. What's your answer?

jwb

The question was when you said you don't reach one without first using the other... Presumably you're saying Marxism basically set the ground for post modernism. That the latter is in essence a sort of addition to the former . Y/n please.

If you disagree then explain why. I'm literally just trying to see if I'm understanding what you're saying or not, so evading the question isn't helping either of us.

How do fairtrade bananas save capitalism? And what is so bad about it?

In my opinion fairtrade bananas reduce the level of competition. They enhance the social and ecological level.

My English is better than your's. That's the reason why you have problems with understanding.

My thoughts are expressed in a quite dense way. They are a bit sophisticated. What exactly is so difficult to understand?

And what exactly is "capitalism"? What is meant by that? Or is it just a bugbear?

Why don't you understand that "capitalism" is not the problem but the lacking regulation of it?

@elphenor

Of cource we have a lot of problems due to the ideology of freedom and competition. But since about 200 years we see a progress of regulation of inhumane aspects of economics.

Marxists usually have problems to admit this progress because it smashes Marxist theories.

As I said: Why to complain? We all are capitalism. We all support this system by our consumption. Capitalism wouldn't work with (dumb) consumers.

Which products do you buy? Which companies do you support by your consume?

That's the crucial question.

Marx won't help us.

This is a serious discussion my friend where you have to justify your claims.

You said fair trade bananas reduce competition. You didn't say anything specific about what that means or back up whatever claim you're trying to make.

And then you said this.

Honestly this just looks like English from a non-speaker where the non-standard language usage muddies what looks like a vague statement with no substantiation.
