    Last time this was posted, the some answers said it's actually likely a nest (funnel web spider or something?) and the "dead spider" shed skin.

    So the metaphor for capitalism is... The Rich carry on eating the produce of the Poor, while the socialists look on and think the system is dying? Haha! Checkmate Poors!

        It's four paragraphs dude. Actually due to the poor quality writing it's really just six run on sentences.

          There's a letter towards the end of his life where he speculates about Russia, specifically, skipping the capitalist stage because of cultural reasons.

          Arising from a capitalist and industrial system is less of a requirement and more of what he considers to be the most likely scenario. You could, for example, in theory have a peasant revolution but you'd either need to attract industrial expertise to modernize your factories or reinvent a lot of wheels.

          And, of course, Marxism isn't the only socialism.

          Marx is kinda hilarious, bad father, vaguely antisemitic, bet on the stock market. Funny guy. I love that conservatives are so freaked out by him.

            Y’all know that spiders can climb right?

            And that spiders often make webs that look like this? Famously, funnel spiders?

              I'm not gonna argue with you because you're a lost loser, but for the rest of users reading this person's comments: this is a genocide denier asking questions such as "why do you consider the Israel-Hamas conflict a genocide?". This is what the defence of capitalism leads to.

              If you're sad about the "intimidation tactics", it's very easy: stop siding with the Nazis!

              Unwilling to have discussion indicates you're afraid you might be wrong about things and discussion may bring that to light.

              People who have thought through their positions aren't afraid to discuss them. I could be wrong about some things, but if that's the case then and a discussion brings that out, I can change my position, and then I hold stronger positions on issues.

              Propagandists that are just repeating slogans are afraid to discuss the topics they supposedly care about passionately. If discussions bring to light their slogans are wrong, then that decreases their standing within their movement which is just a tribal group. The goal of the propagandist isn't to further a cause it's only to show loyalty to the tribe and increase their standing.

              So go ahead and throw insults at me to prove your loyalty to the tribe. It only proves you're incapable of growing your movement because you're incapable of having a rational discussion. If you're constantly promoting feelings of hatred to impress the political group you're in, consider the possibility that you might be in a hate group.

                No, it means there's nothing to argue in good faith with zionazis. Heard of the Nazi bar problem?

                  Yes lemmy indeed has a bit of a Nazi bar problem, with all the antisemitism that gets posted here unchallenged.
