Every reactionary since the Roman empire believes this.

South American Gusanos and Vendepatrias also believe that literacy campaigns such as those in Cuba and Nicaragua are communism.

It worked for them in South America

Not hbomb, thought slime.

The reason is that in the 19th century the Caucasus was thought of as the place of origin of the "white race" or at least of the original Indo-European language. It's nonsense, but somewhere, especially in Burgerland, the idea got currency and the current use of "Caucasian" as "white" or "of European descent" is a leftover of that. Curiously, for many years, every time I hear some bloody Burger film with someone being described as "Caucasian", I've been thinking "Are we sure they're talking about an Abkhazian, an Adygean, a Circassian, an Ossetian, a Chechen, a Georgian, a Dagestani, a Kabardian, an Azeri and so on?".
A somewhat similar thing is the use of the term "Latin". In Burgerland, "Latin" is short for "Latin American", i.e. someone from a Spanish-speaking country in the Americas. Even though Brazil too is "Latin" speaking - Portuguese comes from Latin as much as Spanish does - and so is Haiti or other French islands in the Caribbean, and I'm not talking about Quebecois, Acadians, Cajuns and the like. But then an Italian or a Portuguese recent immigrant or their descendants are not "Latin".

i am become burger, destroyer of language

I'm from Western Europe and I've traveled in Armenia and Georgia recently.
Both are beautiful countries with very friendly and hospitable people, great food, great wine and cognac, and I especially enjoyed partying with Russian expats in Tbilisi.
Only problem was the roads in some parts, but that's a minor complain.
Armenian women might be the most beautiful women I have seen in the world so far, and the public fountains available everywhere are awesome, I wish we had this quality of water here.
Georgians are a bit silly with their obsession about joining the EU and NATO, but it's understandable and I can't blame them. I just hope they can eventually find a way to develop without being too dependent on either the West or the Russian government, both are vultures who only want to exploit them. I also hope Azeris and Turks will stop bullying Armenia one day.
I would have stayed more if I didn't have to go back to my job, I was living the life there. I miss it and might come back one day. გაუმარჯოს / Կենաց.

Honestly, it'd take less effort to just walk to the local library, check it out, scan it, then bring it back.

Do you know what a philosopher is? Or why that is relevant to Marx? No, because you can't read, chinlet. Read a book.

Being a fucked up weirdo because you have trauma doesn't excuse it. There's lots of people who don't cope with their trauma that way, and it's reasonable to expect somebody to at least try not to cope with their trauma in a way that harms others.

>>527491
it's fine to do that if you want to but it's not based to be prescriptivist about it. Women aren't betraying your cause if they want to get dicked down every now and then. It doesn't mean she has internalized misogyny and has been taught to love being r*ped or whatever either. Weird ideology.

>TERFs and reactionaries get along so mysteriously well.
they get along well because they're both reactionaries. But I agree with the rest of your analysis about trauma getting projected.

The irony being that the sentence is such a mess which would be easily solved by a basic philosophy education/reading.
It presupposes that Marx has to be a philosopher or a sociologist or "political theorist" and can't engage in all three.
Even the most basic empiricism tells you this is wrong.

I'm wondering about the dialectics of the accumulation of wealth that agriculture enabled that led to that since maybe the earlier civilizations were egalitarian because they operated on a paradigm of trying to avoid scarcity but over time as it became more reliably organized and you had specialization of labour you ended up with wealth disparities and factionalism and private property that led to inheritance disputes and organized warfare becoming a pervasive factor which women were less able to participate in. Property rights wouldn't have been an issue when no one had any valuables in the first place and men are the more "expendable" sex when it comes to conflict, and having more soldiers is generally an advantage when it comes to war so boys would come to be preferred and become dominant in public affairs.

>the agricultural revolution
Did that actually happen?

There was lag because it took a while for the superstructure to adapt to the base and for a proper settled society to take shape. Also it's not about who's stronger or whatever - if that was relevant then male dominance could have and likely would have emerged at any time. Property is the reason for patriarchy, and it comes down to the fact that making babies to inherit your property is a lot more dangerous for women than men. If it's the women who own things and pass them down, then it's going to be a lot more common for there to be crises of inheritance. Something like 1/3 women before modern medicine died in child birth.

If a woman with property dies without kids, there's going to be argument over who inherits. If political power is involved, it's likely to get bloody. For a ruler, producing an heir is also expected which means any female rulers are going to be rolling the dice on whether they have their rule cut short by pregnancy and childbirth complications, possibly before they even have one heir. This means that matrilineal inheritance is just less stable in general, so a strictly patriarchal system has an advantage here. This is probably why you pretty much only see patriarchal rulers in "civilizations" proper - it's just not sustainable to be risking crisis that much. The element of controlling women's sexuality makes sense as a way to ensure the heirs are legitimate (something you don't have to worry about with matrilineal inheritance). The steep social imposition associated with that control implies some kind of tradeoff, like a society where you never have to worry about a political crisis because the ruler died in childbirth.

Interestingly, some of the more recent research on the topic points to agriculture itself being linked to pregnancy and childbirth complications. It's possible then that the cause and effect went something like agriculture -> maternal mortality -> patriarchy. There are some larger and more organized cultures that do follow a matrilinear inheritance method, but they are mainly seen in the Americas and may be subject to different conditions regarding agriculture and nutrition, having significantly different (and often more nutritious) staple foods. There's also speculation that because oPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

So basically men naturally have no interest in knowing if a kid is theirs if it wasn't for private property?

I considered those but I wondered if they were just matrilinear because they were in that earlier stage of civilization where private property had not yet become a dominant factor and would have ended up patriarchal somewhere down the line had they been able to develop further. However like you mentioned they had different staple crops so that would go into alt-hist.

Counter their arguments; and also explain that capitalism will try to present communism as terrible as possible and instead you should research into the topic by reading books, plus talk to people in communist spaces/groups (but also remember that they're people and there's only so much labor and time they have to educate a random person), instead of word of mouth – since remember, it's cheap to lie, and expensive to say the truth
Call her a fraud that hasn't earned the title of artist, nor hoe.

Women can be pretty savage went it comes to banter, it's true, and not just arthoes, but good old babushkas too, and everything in-between.
You don't have to be confrontational and go harder on the bants all the time, it's not an imageboard, you can just admit your game is weak and blush or something.
Try to understand better how they see the world, why their banter is so biting, why does it hurt when they verbally put the lemon and the salt on this wound you didn't know you even had, generally they make fun of an embarrassing truth that is kept hidden.
Still keep in mind they can be fucking hardcore, female bullying can be more hellish than the blunt force of moids in some circumstances. I think it's a self-defense mechanism and people don't grow up that much after high-school. Disarming people with banter is a good way to disarm nasty people with bad intentions in this savage society.
Good luck, you will always fail, but practice makes perfect.
