also baristas are a genuinely silly example as they actually do apply labor to unprocessed goods to transform them into a new form. The worker in sausage factory doesn't rear swine either.
Sure you might have facts on your side, but have you considered the hair color of the barista? Have you considered that even though I ask them for their number they pepper spray me? You haven't? Well then perhaps because Marx wrote his work before ombre hair existed he couldn't incorporate it into his labor theory of value.
The cute trans barista rejected me this is the future the left wants
In German the term Lernfabriken was pretty common as half a critique. Literally -learning-factory.
However around 2000 the US and other places implemented factories for students and workers to learn their job and took the term Lernfabrik and used it to describe their industrialized human resources skill teaching scheme.
So now it is this hybrid on one hand being taken out of its school context and its critique and on the other there is literally a learning factory in the productive sphere.
Lenin: Every revolutionary etc. etc.
This reminds me of how think tanks are much more appropriately called Denkfabriken in German (thought factories)
If I'd actually read the text properly, I'd come up with some link between that phrase and Deleuze's idea about societies of control, as it talks about how adults have been infantilised. I haven't tho because I have the attention span of a goldfish lol
Edit: Alright I've read it, and it doesn't specifically mention infatilisation anywhere, but you could make the arguement for it. Additionally, the idea of a "Learning Factory" seems to pre-empt the entire concept of a Control Society by over 100 years, so well done Marx; he may not have forseen how schooling has begun to carry on into adulthood, though.
In fairness to the maga fasciocommune whatever the fuck these people are telling themselves, they probably just chew instant coffee grounds to maintain their revolutionary purity.
Marx's ability to respond to critics 150 years later is always gonna amaze me.
Or maybe liberals haven't changed from his time
One who posted here until we threw him out
I'll admit I gave haz a chance an watched a bit of his streams but then he went on this weird rant where he called Brace Belden a cuck and that was what made me realize what a piece of shit he is
I think he was banned from the site shortly after that and has been the subjext of ridicule ever since
More recently he became a Larusheite but he's basically a closeted fascist
:brace-cowboy:
Someone posted his latest video around here somewhere and it is, no shit, "Hitler was an anarchist".
I'm half tempted to watch it just to see what argument he could possibly make for that, but I also have a few iotas of self-respect left so I will not.
Wait wait, you're telling me Haz, the YouTuber cryptofash guy, was a chapo poster?
Really the best answer as to whether or not they actually do work is to strike and see what happens.
