i swear to god, if i hear one more dumbass say a variant of "stupid-asses not reading theory" im gonna cum down their fucking throat.

like holy shit, slow the hell down queen. sorry that some of us don't feel like trying to decipher formal register bullshit, and would rather get their theory from people who don't sound like plantation owners.

"The surplus-value produced by prolongation of the working day, I call absolute surplus-value."

What the fuck is this supposed to mean? Is he talking about making long-ass workdays? Is he talking about creating extra value by overworking? What the fuck is it? Holy shit, the classism is rampant here and it's super fuckin' annoying to see.

If you tell somebody to read theory then you better be ready to help them fucking read it. Either that or don't tell them to at all, I could really give a shit what old generally-white guys said about a subject that I can understand by taking off fifteen minutes of my time to ask someone in a leftist discord. Ancient theory is useless in a modern domesticated setting, no-one talks like Marx nowadays.

    wanting other people with a high school or less education to be able to read theory = reactionary

    edit: no wonder post-leftism is rising

      You're actively complaining about a small quote plucked randomly like a fucking idiot for absolutely no reason when you could have just asked for help.

      Being able to read theory means being able to grasp concepts that might not be immediately intuitive or obvious. You would still have to learn what surplus-value means dipshit.

          I'm sorry you get weirdly mad at the mere existence of terms you don't already immediately understand. Maybe you can learn not to be a dipshit in future.
