I'm almost convinced that people don't become ultraleft; they end up ultraleft. What type of confusion, abuse, bigotry, whatever- it doesn't matter- turns someone into an ultraleft?

I'm at my wits end, are they just neoliberals that haven't accepted that fact?

    Oh damn sorry I didn't respond, your comment just didn't get logged into my message notification for some reason

    Anyway 15 days later lmao the questions are

    1. How many sources of profit are there?
    2. Does competition or monopoly define capital accumulation?
    3. Is profitability or consumption the driving force of capitalist production?

      Appreciate the reply, late or not :)

      I wanted to take a crack at them for my own education. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

      1. 1- labor
      2. Monopoly
      3. Profit

      How I do?

        1. 1- labor and 2- Profit on alienation (i.e. buy cheap, sell dear) also known as arbitrage
        2. Competition, but not how it's define by neoclassical economists
        3. Profit, you nailed it stalin-approval
