The machine only outputs the value you put into it, since it’s constant capital. 5G worth of raw materials produces 5G worth of transformed material. 10G produces 10G, etc. You can make your machines faster and more efficient but they will still output exactly what you put into them

the machine will still output 3G of transformed material for 3G of raw material

But if this is the case, then what good are machines at all? If they only output the same value that went into them, then wouldn’t that make them entirely superfluous? I can understand that human labor is always required in addition to any machine, but surely machines still do increase the value of the material input? And more so the more efficient you make that machine, otherwise what would it even mean to make it more efficient?

Yeah, the nazis and their defenders will always come out of the woodwork any time someone points out the (easily verifiable) facts regarding who really won WWII (the Soviet Union) and defeated the axis powers.

And you’re a fuckin’ clown.

Obama notoriously destroyed his entire political apparatus once it had served his purpose

How? What is this referring to?

Weird bit.

Is that some kind of pig-latin or code that we’re supposed to “read into”? or is one of us having a stroke?

you’ve become conditioned to parrot the party line and be rewarded for it, no matter how disconnected from reality it becomes.

Pretty rich coming from someone who parrots the US State Department’s line on every AES country and every successful revolution.

you need that dopamine hit of the collective praising you for owning the anarkiddies

Right, yeah, that’s sure what happens all the time on an instance where people get banned for being anti-anarchist, anti-anarchist sentiment will get a comment removed, and where a good number of the users, even some mods and “power users” are themselves openly anarchist. Yet you run a “community” that bans anyone and everyone with the slightest hint of support for those ebil AuThOrItArIaN socialist countries, and constantly post threads about how dumb and mean those theory-reading “tankies” are. Projection much?

Using language to refer to other people is one of the evil, oppressive outcomes of civilization. Just like being able to feed people beyond a few hunter-gatherers is evil and oppressive. All of this must be eradicated. Don’t you know, that’s what it means to be liberated?

That word is internet slang, moron. It doesn’t need to be tightly defined like it’s scientific nomenclature. Even if it did, the way it’s being used by the person talking to you is perfectly fine and understandable.

But I’m not surprised this is what you’re getting hung up on because it’s clear you have no idea what context is. You have demonstrated you are completely ignorant of the importance of historical and geopolitical context in general, and completely ignorant of the specific historical and geopolitical context of the Middle East. And now with your “hurr durr that’s not what ‘simping’ means!!1!” deflection, you’re showing you also don’t understand the fundamental importance of context in language. It’s no wonder you can’t see anything beyond lines on a map.

Then why are you the one with mod removed comments and the one getting upvote ratioed? @booty is actually making sense.

Any person who thinks China is imperialist either A) Doesn’t know what imperialism is, B) Believes silly lies about China that are easily and readily proven false, or C) Are themselves the ones spreading those lies for ideological reasons.
