I've read Marx but I'm still confused by the communist rejection of capitalism. Can someone explain it to me?

If capitalism (the system of the exchange of goods/services for money and vice versa) is unjust, then one of three things must be true. Either I am not entitled to that which I produce (for example, a meal I've cooked), I am not entitled to exchange what I've produced for what others have produced (for example, giving some of my food to a friend who has helped me fix a window), or it's unjust to represent the value of goods/services in any indirect form (that's all currency is).

If I am entitled to produce and exchange, capitalism MUST be just, because that's all capitalism is. If what I produce has any value worth exchanging for, what is the problem with writing it down on a piece of green paper?

I've read Marx. I disagree with the notion that there is a difference between private and personal property from both a metaphysical and linguistic stance. Don't presume I haven't read Marx. I'm asking about overall communist ideals among modern groups which stand against capitalism. I doubt most of them have picked up Das Capital.

Are you aware that there's a thing called "surplus value"?
>>
>>2373838

Surplus value? You mean labor time?
My father's a plumber. He charges for parts and labor. There is no surplus value.

When there is surplus value, it's not capitalism's fault. It's your fault for misusing capitalism and allowing others to get away with it. You don't have to go to McDonalds and pay $1 for a $0.10 burger. You choose to do that. Stop going and they go out of business or lower their prices, it's as simple as that.

What is the history of EU and why do people seem to not like it?

"Refugees"

Cuz the elite of europe are trying to make the eu into a legitimate nation state to better compete with the us, china, russia, and probably the african continent in the near future; many common people of europe dont like this idea because they want to retain their existing national sovereingty. Hate to sound like a marxtard but it is quite literally a major class struggle going on in europe over the fate of the eu and tensions are running high.

A better question is what would eastern Protestantism have looked like. Probably iconoclastic and less refined philosophically but liturgy would probably be more dank.

Everyone seems pretty shit in the Spanish Civil War. Republicans and anarchists killed Catholics and Franco's boys were fascists or mercenaries.

This is true. But at least hardline atheist communists killing Catholics makes some sense within their ideology.

But why did Franco want Africans to rape Spaniards? That isn't bad, it's really weird.

First two weren't conventional conflicts and Japan was in no way inferior to Russia technologically. Plus they enjoyed enormous advantage, because, well, theater of war was right next to Japan and Russian core was like 5000km away overland.

>>2368146
Yeah, this, it basically boils down to them getting very lucky. Three points where they specifically lucked out were: 1. Roman authorities never engaged in anything more then sporadic persecution until the third century and 2.Constantine won at milvian bridge and 3. Julian forgot to wear his armor like a dumdum.

Change any of those three things and christianity would either not exist or be something more like judaism.

It's a terrible deal. The French aren't giving us their best land. Napoleon is so much smarter than Jefferson it's crazy. I mean cmon people, it looks like a lot but it's all swampy and covered with pocahontases.However, we can't go back so we're gonna have to drain the swamp.
