Marx was a capitalist insofar as marx believed State Capitalism was a necessary transitioning phase which would usher in a communist system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism

In a free market system, the value of capital is determined by price (whatever people are willing to pay for it.) In a State Capitalist system, the value of capital is determined by the state (state determined utility.)

his poorly construed, unsubstantiated line of reasoning regarding marx and his proclamation of being a "good socialist" is pretty well explained by his reference to having read das kapital 32 years ago.

>By 1837, Marx was writing both fiction and non-fiction, having completed a short novel, Scorpion and Felix, a drama, Oulanem, as well as a number of love poems dedicated to Jenny von Westphalen, though none of this early work was published during his lifetime.
>He began co-operating with Bruno Bauer on editing Hegel's Philosophy of Religion in 1840. Marx was also engaged in writing his doctoral thesis, The Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature,[48] which he completed in 1841.
>submit[ted] his thesis to the more liberal University of Jena, whose faculty awarded him his PhD in April 1841
>Marx moved to Cologne in 1842, where he became a journalist, writing for the radical newspaper Rheinische Zeitung (Rhineland News), expressing his early views on socialism and his developing interest in economics. Marx criticised both right-wing European governments as well as figures in the liberal and socialist movements whom he thought ineffective or counter-productive
>In 1843, Marx became co-editor of a new, radical leftist Parisian newspaper, the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher (German-French Annals), then being set up by the German socialist Arnold Ruge to bring together German and French radicals
All before he met Engles by the way. This "Marx never worked" meme really doesn't fly when you actually look at how much fucking shit he wrote. Or, are you on the literature board arguing that people shouldn't write as a career?

Musk is ensconced in a milieu that promotes anti-competitive, anti-productive, anti-human wealth stratification and monopolization of the means of production, Musk does nothing about DMCA’s, paid journals, lack of funding for STEM in public schools, contributing to infrastructure. all he’s done is make spying and ZOG vision easier with his sattelite shuttle service that doesn’t pay for itself. He ran away from paypal (a scam service) and then made a scam car that is more damaging to the environment than an F-150 and LARP’s about Mars which people give him credit for despite it being technologically and biologically impossible to live comfortably on mars. Marx has unironically contributed vastly more to the human corpus of knowledge than Musk. He and Theil are primitive, reptilian, sociopathic gamesman and nothing more.

The US is behind he nordic states, behind UK, behind Germany, behind France in PISA scores and certainly far behind East Asian tigers. Even the Poles and Fins (partially non-white Iranics/Uralics/Mongoloids) are superior to the US.

I can't speak for him but you shouldn't assume "checked the German" = "can read German fluently". I read Capital myself and had to check the original several times because there are zero (0) good translations. For example: Marx never uses the word Capitalism, and this is because it's bad (in Marx's view) to separate the object from the subject. But this subtlety is lost in literally every translation, and thus you see the word "capitalism" many times, even in the "best" translation by Ben Fowkes.

The russians put a man in space before any of the "superior" countries. A lot of the mathematics required for engineering comes down from middle eastern and central asian scholars who picked up on the works of the greeks while the nordics were living in piles of sticks and mud. In India certain thinkers independently invented parts of calculus. The reason why any group gets ahead of others is just systems of thought. Were the ancient chinese great at math? No, their whole education system was disciplined but focused on memorization and law. The only reason why they score high now is that culture of discipline - they were shit at STEM until they were introduced to the system of mathematics, and the system of the scientific method. Old chinese structures were cleverly built but they were too dumb to invent the screw. Because they didn't have a unifying, totalizing system of knowledge accumulation like the west had via aristotle-->bacon. Every ethnic group produces engineers and scientists now because its only a matter of education. You can be very dumb and succeed in STEM because you're standing on the shoulders of giants. You just need to be organized and thorough.

Concentrate a great deal and*really* consider how lazy you are, and how lazy everyone you've ever met is. Now hold in mind the top 1% of hardworking people you've met, and then discard 9/10 of these people for spending energy in the wrong things. Those that remain are hardworking and have their goals aligned with their efforts. How many of those have being wealthy as a goal?

That's my attempt to explain to you how people with a certain perspective (the view that being hardworking is not their condition, but is easy to access), can both believe that it's very easy to be very wealthy, and that it is exceedingly rare for people to be wealthy.

The pictures of "perfect bodies" you see on Instagram... don't let them get you down. Most of them don't represent reality and if they do, it doesn't mean that these bodies belong to a healthy and happy human. lt's just what we are made to believe, but it's mostly not true. Our bodies are pretty incredible machines that never ever take a break.Day in day out, minute after minute, from birth to death, our bodies do the work without ever resting. Pumping blood through our veins, making our heart beat in our chest, allowing us to move, drive, walk, travel, see, smell, hear, taste and FEEL love, happiness and positive energy. So, why do we as a society put all our focus on how little fat needs to sit under our skin, how we can make our muscles pop, how we can shape our body in a way that isn't natural or how we can hold back from feeding our body for as long as possible? •-• As I'm posting this, I am placing a hand on my heart and thanking my body for sticking with me through years of self-punishment, self-loathing, starvation, stuffing it with food, purging food, beating it down and destroying it with way too much exercise.Thank you, body, for never letting me down, even though I always used to think you did. l was wrong and I'm sorry. l don't care what you look like as long as you are healthy and happy.

The ancient greek notion of shole and later otium in the Roman culture, was used to describe the situation when a wealthy individual does not have to work, but can pursue intellectual endeavors instead. To sum it up, considering writing books to be work is a relatively new phenomenon, but marxist scum has to label it as such because in essence you are low test faggots with a power trip who crave for comfy office jobs after "the revolution"; every single one of you fuckheads firmly believes that picking up a shovel is below you, therefore you label writing and reading as work, just to conceal the fact that you are at best useless, at worst poisonous like your buddy marx.

It's easy to feel less confident about your body when your Instagram feed is full of gorgeous models who always look flawless.

I know I've found myself hating the rolls on my stomach or my double chin that presents itself when I smile too big.

You cannot understand, you have a perfect body.

Yes, I workout.
Yes, I eat healthy.
No, I do not have a perfect body.
And you know why ?
Because I stopped looking for it.

When I started working out, I had these crazy expectations on the body I hoped / wanted to get.
Finally, I will get a thigh gap, a flat stomach, and no more cellulite !! Because that’s how a healthy body is perceived.
Because people make you think is it not normal to have it.
But you know what ?
It is.
Yes, I still store fat on my stomach.
Yes, I still have cellulite.
And yes, I am still « healthy ». Remember one thing : your body is NOT the enemy

Actually scientifically speaking there is pretty much no correlation between talent/intelligence and wealth. Both scientific studies of real people and computer simulations show that the 80/20 split in wealth occurs almost every time, but never falls along lines according to ability. Capitalism is objectively not a meritocracy.

Contributing to the collective body of human knowledge is infinitely more productive in the long term than peddling some plastic shit made in China that’s designed to break. Marx’s contributions to society, even if you don’t agree with him, are unironically more important than that accomplished by the vast majority of capitalists, the same is true of any theorist in any field.

This is a complete delusion. No one can and will ever train genius. New ideas can never be taught before invention.

People all over the world, especially in the west, have been able to do things from scratch. It's always useful to inherit something but it is not necessary.

Arabs didn't develop anything of significance in this domain. They had virtually no effect on the west. If you insist on larping as anti-western, Europe is much more indebted to India than to the islamic world. But even that is secondary. "Western" traditions took almost everything from previous "western" traditions. You have to go back to 1000BC for it not to be the case with a bit of creative interpretation. It has then nothing to do with Arabs who were stuck in their southern desert.
