    [–] Does adding sugar makes cold-brew coffee go bad quicker? HelloWorld_Linuxing 2 points ago in Coffee

    One day? :v I mean, it's not that the coffee becomes undrinkable, it's just worse than it originally tasted immediately after I added sugar.

    Agree, I guess that's actually worse

    Well I found it on Wikipedia, and I don't have access to the source so that was really all I learned that day on that subject :v Can you educate me more on this?

    I agree with you, and BTW looking at historical figures in context is much more fun than merely reducing them to "great heroes" or "evil demons". Still, I posted this simply because I found it funny and I wanted to share some fun with you guys (today I learned, duh), yet some peeps just assume I'm hating on Jefferson while I actually have a lot of respect for him :v

    Wow that's a lot of cool historical facts that I have never known before. Could you provide me with more details?

    Hello, why can't we just sit back, relax and enjoy a fun fact without politicizing it? :v Honestly I just find that fact funny, and I actually have a lot of respect for Thomas Jefferson, except for his ownership of slave obviously.

    Thanks =)) I actually came across this wiki article while procrastinating studying History for my exam the very next day (we almost never study about the Haitian Revolution in my country at all, BTW) :)))

    Wow chill, I just find it a fun fact. When I first read about the American Revolution, I found Jefferson quite inspiring, for having been one of the youngest representatives in Congress yet assigned such an important task, as well as how he went about writing the Declaration. But later when I learned he was also a slave owner (before reading that Wikipedia article), I was definitely a bit disappointed.

    Well they have finished paying that portion of debt to the French back in 1947 though.

    [–] Politico article that advocates virtual slavery renamed from "Own You Own Immigrant" to "Sponser an Immigrant Yourself" HelloWorld_Linuxing 7 points ago * (lasted edited 11 months ago) in capitalistrealism

    Others might try, in entrepreneurial fashion, to find foreign workers for American businesses—which would not be allowed to sponsor migrants under our proposal—taking a cut in the process. Google and Exxon would need to pay people like Mary to find migrants for their businesses.

    So how is Mary different from a human trafficker?

    Moreover, a Visas Between Individuals Program does so in the spirit of the market, by allowing every citizen to choose how she uses her right to sponsor visas rather than allowing corporations or governments to manage migration.

    And yet above it there's this:

    Sponsors will normally want the migrants they sponsor to live near them.

    What would stop a company on the free market from hiring sponsors to offer migrants the service of being sponsored? In that case the sponsors and the migrants don't even have to know each other's face.

    It is hard to demonize the person who lives in your basement, or the basement of your neighbor, and has increased your income greatly.

    I bet the slave owners really really loved their slaves back then.

    [–] If there's no intellectual property, what's the point for new competitors to innovate? HelloWorld_Linuxing 1 points ago in LibertarianDebates

    Well I'm not talking about copying ideas. I get it, ideas are cheap, and as far as I know no one gives out patents for ideas. What I'm talking about is copying implementation. It is the implementations that are actually patented, as of present.

You can be soc-dem in your vocabulary at this point... be very Socratic, so that people come to their own conclusions, which will make it seem like they came up with it by themselves." Gramsci flair: wooah dude, that's like "Inception but for class consciousness"! HelloWorld_Linuxing 8 points ago in shitleftistssay

    From the comments:

    If I am supposed to keep the fruit of my labor, why do I keep having my fruit taken from me? I seized the means of services production, I organized my fellow workers, we unionized, we forced the capitalists to give us the fruits of our labor, working 60-70 hours a week, two jobs in the same union to earn more fruits, but now, someone wants to take 29% of my fruits.

    [–] What does Marx think about managers in a workers' cooperative factory HelloWorld_Linuxing 1 points ago in marxism_101

    Thank you for your answer. I asked this question because I was confused: From what I understand, Marx is against coops because they're reformist, therefore they cannot solve the contradictions inherent in capitalism. Yet in this paragraph he seemed to be talking about coops, or at least their managers, in a less negative light.

    Just one more thing, I'm also confused about "semi-central" planning, it's the first time I have ever heard of it in this sub. Could you provide evidence that Marx actually advocated for such an approach?
