Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx’s best-known texts are the “The Communist Manifesto” and the three-volume “Das Kapital”, in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx’s political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx’s critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

If we all get together we can co-ordinate tru anyone tipping tips well eboguh to make Brade and Liz legit believe something silly. I’m thinking anacondas. Just everyone start dealing in with sightings of large constrictor snakes or the disappearance of small animals and large snake like trails in your neighborhood. If we make it seem real and they do a full episode on the large snakes it means we can do anything. We can develop nukes
Made vegan lasagna, cheese-garlic bread sticks, and a caesar salad for supper/Mother’s day. I got it all prepared this morning/afternoon. My sister popped in to celebrate as a surprised and she brought vegan cheese cake which we cooked some frozen blueberries and sugar as a topping, which turned out really well.
Played
Of Catan, which I’ve never gotten to play before which was pretty fun. My sister and I enjoyed it, my mother didn’t because she hates anything that involves decisions and planning.Wasn’t a bad day. Got some stuff done for myself too. Organized the last of my digital music library (for now). Read some Monthly Review articles from the April edition.
what the next level up from a groan?
it is may 11 and stalin saved the world from fascism
Two drunk pensioners are twerking at each other on the train. They seem to be having fun.
Hockey intermission interviews are great because the players look terrified and can barely form a thought. Social anxiety representation.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you motherhexers out there who observe it. It was a too lovely morning, sitting in the sun and I was watching a male bird feeding a young one on a tree branch. I like to think it was giving the mama bird the day off
BG3 progress updates (spoilers ahead, obviously)

Met some Gith at the bridge, the Dragon Rider was a douche. Looks like going too far West will start the next part of the story, so I might wait until I’ve totally finished the area first.
Looks like the tiefling refugees throw a party at your camp after you beat the Goblin leaders. I found the refugees kind of annoying but I’m playing as a druid so I felt I should save the grove. Good lord everyone is horny in this game. No means no god damn it.
Also Halsin kind of annoys me and I don’t even know why.
Enjoying the game so far.
Have any fascists made the ethical argument for the social media panopticon? That if people are constantly surveilled and they know they are being surveilled, they’ll behave more morally and go to heaven?
The “millennial pause” has to be the dumbest made up shit ever.
Who is seriously noticing and judging people for not instantly speaking at the start of a video. Like holy fuck, go outside.
