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.

Well, to me that sounds a little like you prefer the term swimming over being called a swimmer.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Success as in getting hired? Yes.

I’ve created my own version based on the Simple Hipster template.

I am using Overleaf which is a Latex GUI and has quite a few good templates.

You are confusing security with privacy. But keep on ranting if you like.

And how is the central server supposed to know anything when every message it transmits is verifiably e2e encrypted?

At the end of the day, it’s all in our heads anyway.

So, how is this supposed to work? From what I can gather at a quick glance it appears to be a VPN of some sorts but for cellular data?

Well, some say Dutch is just German but drunk …

300-400 miles isn’t happening unless maybe as a death march.

He-he, I guess you typed that before reading the wiki page.

Which is a shame. Browser should be strict when rendering.

It’s not about getting a proper result. It’s about getting less work to do and just as much of a pain in the ass as possible.

Since people are asking all sort of things, and it’s difficult to keep up with posting everything to every reply, I am simply going to add the info to a “main thread”.
