  • Industrial Britian had an enormous activist labor movement. A slew of left wing thinkers and agitators emerged from the British academic scene, including Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Ghandi.

    Yeah because of how mega capitalist it was

    How are you defining “Capitalist Country” if you ignore all the socialist policies a country has implemented?

    Worker ownership of means of production, usually. Let’s say Eastern Block, China, you get the picture.

    That movement is not at all specific to socialist states. If you read a bit further it even says how it originated in industrial revolution Britain and happened all over the world.

    I’m not asking about socialist or social democratic or labour movement policies in capitalist countries, I’m asking about automation shortening the work day in socialist countries


















  • Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.”

    Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

    As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

    If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

    So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

    Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t.

    It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
