No, it was later improved by using different materials, better tools to make it and hardening it with fire.

Same was about photography, computer graphics etc. I bet even clay tablets and sculptures were bashed at some point because they werent real art, unlike cave wall paintings.

I don’t give a shit either way, fuck copyrights.

Corporation takeovers. From what i could find, the most expensive ever was 1999 takeover of Mannesmann by Vodafone Airtouch plc at $183 billion ($334.7 billion in 2024 dollars).

Fun fact, in 193 CE Didius Iulianus bought the Roman Empire (or more accurately the emperor position) for roughly 1 671 480 000 dollars. Very roughly since we don’t exactly know how many praetorians there were so you might cut that number by half, and the calculation is by silver price. Also, he was soon murdered by the same people who murdered his predecessor and sold him the empire when someone with an army and know how to use it shown up (Septimius Severus). Alas.

Most expensive single thing ever would be ISS at over 150 billion.

Someone with “Lenin” in the nickname should not ask this question because it is obvious commies will confiscate all the toothbrushes.

No. I do absolutely support Khrushchev sending tanks to Hungary (very rare Khrushchev W), but i’m not British.

I see that clearly when i buy products from Aliexpress or Temu and shops in Poland are full of literally the same items but 3-5 times the price. Hell some of the internet shops openly does the thing that you buys something and only then they order it in China for you but you still pay 3-5 times the price.

Seems that even goebbelses of 20 years past are getting kicked by today goebbelses for pretty mild comments

My favourites are Lost Hollow and Kitten Tarot. Tip: you can get both together for less than 15 bucks on Aliexpress or Temu

Get in contact with invisible unicorn and start a religion.

Also, loosening of the lockdowns quickly led to more victims than the initial phase of pandemic. Malcontents were lucky that govt did not caved in sooner.

Sękacz (Polish hard cake, some people make them as hard as a dwarf bread from discworld)

USA have no history except genociding others so they obsess over the war that happened on their own already stolen turf.

I’m feeling tired 5 days in a row every week and i don’t even have a cold :(

Mine too, it’s happiness

Volume 2 is the most dry one, it’s nearly entirely about capital circulation.

Yeah other socialist theoreticians fumbled over idealism and several other issues, Marx literally wrote volumes about it (Theories of Surplus Value plus a lot in his other works, he was incredibly well versed in history of economic thought).

The problem is that the conclusions of Marxist economics point to it being unquestionably correct to move beyond capitalism and into socialism

It’s even earlier, Marx himself noted that conclusion of LTV itself is socialism and indeed all the economists basing on Ricardo’s work arrived at this point. Marx was just completely conscious in his tries and used dialectical materialism unlike others to develop a scientific socialism, thus his theory was the best one. He also noted that this necessity was why the pet economists of capitalists needed to take a step back and turned mainstream political economisc into the superficial justifications of capitalism, that happened with J.S. Mill Junior iirc.
