    Capitalism is, at it’s core, any system where d(Power) / dt = k (Power) - a + b (random(t)) where power is your ability to impact or influence the world or not be influenced by it unduely.

    Any one who has a/k or less power has it systematically taken from them and assigned to those with the most.

    Power can be money or political favour with the party. Window dressing and semantic games don’t reallly matter. Fascism is the exercise of trying to set b to 0.

    Tankies are capitalists.

    The left is the exercise of trying to make k negative.

      Buddy I enjoyed differential equations as much as the next guy, but differential formulae are not a great way to communicate any concepts in a text forum, not even concepts that are modeled by differential equations.

        In what way are the states they worship remotely socialist, communist, or anarchist? The means of production are controlled by a small elite who increase their share of control over the means of prodiction by leveraging this control. The only thing that distinguishes the economic stratification of the CCP or the late soviet union from capitalist states is semantic word games.

        It’s the same thing as a market based oligopoly.

        There have been left wing states, and left wing projects within right wing states, but worshipping putin or winnie the pooh ain’t it.

          I’m here to laugh at ridiculous leftists dunking on ridiculous leftists, not to debate the finer points of tankie theory.

          I don’t take anyone who self-identifies as a leftist seriously.
