You're gonna have to try a little harder than just repeating yourself.

Oh, get fucked if you're gonna try the pedantic game. Go ahead and tell me how I got it wrong and what you really meant if you're gonna try this sleazy tactic. Otherwise, stfu with your bollocks.

Don't try and lie so blatantly. I directly responded to your implication that Marx just wasn't thinking about things clearly.

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

I can't fathom the arrogance of people who say "Marx just didn't think of x, y or z". He invariably did, and a quote is easily found to prove them wrong. Yet they continue to say this bollocks. "Marx didn't consider human nature, Marx didn't know about x obscure economic theory," on and on until the cows come home. Capital has 3 volumes, and each is thick and heavy enough to make a decent murder weapon. They are so long precisely because he did do the thinking you accuse him of not doing.

The one single thing we can legitimately say he didn't anticipate was the computer revolution, and it in fact only strengthens his theories, as digital technology has gone on to strengthen the hold of capital, and laid bare its incestuous relationship with the State.

This reads like dialogue from a satirical sketch about an out of touch wannabe landlord

You don't deserve to own land you don't use. Sorry :)

Oh? You rent it out, do you?

What exactly do you think that proves? Do you think it proves I'm against mental health programs? Do you think it proves I'm for increased police budgets?

No. You know my inclination on this one subject. Not the totality of my opinion. Did I say this measure alone would help? Fuck no. But who wants to add wait times and do absolutely nothing else? It seems like that's what you're implying. But anyone who isn't an idiot knows these issues aren't dealt with by doing a single thing on its own.

Wow, you seem pretty confident you know what my opinion is, even without me telling you! Try my age, next!
