brown-eggs replied to your post:What do you disagree on when it comes to deformed worker states? To me in some cases it's a valid term and in others it's not.
I agree with this 90% until you insinuate that Tony Cliff was right about anything.
right but for the wrong reasons would be a better way of putting it, i'm sure you agree with me that the ussr became state capitalist right? albeit we think it did for different reasons and at a different time than most trotskyists do

police have never had a problem getting away with shooting unarmed people
True, true. I'm just wondering whether it has even more of a legal basis now.

I know what you’re saying but tbh drugs are pretty effective, at least for many disorders. There’s a ton of evidence that on average, they work for people, and they really are a more accessible option both in terms of cost but also time.

oh shit i should have bolded "that" in my post, sorry. i meant they're not as effective as to suddenly turn people into somebody who's 100% stable emotionally or whatever as people who rail against them seem to think. they can definitely help - i take antidepressants and have for a long time, and i would never want to say "they're totally useless" or something cause that's bollocks. they've helped me and i don't want anyone to feel bad for taking them cause i know i've felt like that. sorry again i totally understand what you're saying.
and what i meant in my first post was things like how often new drugs are introduced even though it's not clear if they're more effective than prozac, say, just to make a new patent and avoid competing with generics. also how stuff like therapy gets sidelined - not saying that drugs are totally bad, just that when drugs are promoted as a complete solution it makes it harder for people to find help from other methods
brown-eggs replied to your post "This lecturer has repeatedly said Marx was an ardent pro-imperialist..."
a) even claims that Marx was euro-centric are usually p baseless, b) yeah all that writing about the horrors of primitive accumulation that Marx did were *so* pro-imperialist, c) Marx wasn’t writing in the age of imperialism as we know it
Well, I suppose it could be said because most of his writings were based on the study of European societies and history he's being Eurocentric, but as you say, it's quite a push. Exactly, didn't the main imperialist push for Africa start in 1880 or around then? Imperial Capitalism was kinda post Marx. Wait, I thought Marx was generally quite positive about primitive accumulation? I thought the Iroquois Federation was an inspiration for him.
gingerche replied to your post "This lecturer has repeatedly said Marx was an ardent pro-imperialist..."
Marx was very critical of imperialism, and in an April 1870 letter to Sigfrid Meyer and August Vogh (look it up, it’s a good read) he cites Irish national oppression as one of the major reasons for the English working class’ impotence.
I think I'm going to ask my lecturer about this, because while in my recent seminar pretty much everyone was pro-Marx (some how all the lefties ended up in the same class, it's great), people were reluctant to fully endorse his views because of this "he was pro-imperial" line. It's almost insulating people from Marxist analysis. A quick flick through of that letter clearly show the view that Marx was pro-Imperialist is intellectually dishonest.
