They don’t care about the cause. They’re here for the engagement.

Yes technically. Practically some software would be objectively awful without a graphical interface, like image modification.

You pointed to China punishing corruption as evidence of “your capitalist country” having “less corruption.”

No, I didn’t. I say two things but never used the first as a proof of the second. For someone who tries to look like an intellectual, you seem have reading troubles… like when you thought that I said that classes don’t exist while I said the contrary.

we are talking about class, not income, which is not useful for our purposes at all

It is though as, on average, higher classes have higher incomes.

Also not sure why you abandoned the point about large industry and administration being necessary, did you just silently concede that point?

Because it’s irrelevant. The question about the necessity or not of hierarchies is an other debate. Something can be bad and inescapable at the same time.

This is absurd.

It would be right? It’s not what I did.

it equates income to class which is just wrong.

It’s in theory. In practice it’s a good way to have data. Not perfect data, but meaningful trends.

Don’t hate who you envy.

Socialist countries simply do not face the same scale of problems with corruption as capitalist countries.

Hundred of thousands of trials for corruption 63 years after the foundation of the People Republic (this declaration is from 2012)… it does look like a pretty huge scale to me. There’s corruption in my capitalist country, but far less than in China.

is in actual fact a result of differences in class

In fact, both play a role.

It’s totally wishful thinking. Even Xi Jinping recognized that corruption was an “existential threat” for China. Or isn’t China socialist?

Socialist countries simply do not face the same scale of problems with corruption as capitalist countries.

Wishful thinking, again.

Administration is not the enemy, class is.

Both are.

I still wait for one of you to answer to the message were I post actual scientific papers. It would be more constructive than designing strawmen.

And you still do that, apparently.

Yes, but did that changed how the brain worked?

You can repeat “supernatural” as much as you want, I’m still speaking about scientific facts. Different experiences shape the functioning of the brain differently, there’s nothing magical with that.

How is class an “interesting theory?”

That’s not what I said. I said that the fact that a new mode of production will change the way the practice of power change the the biological functioning of the brain is an interesting theory. Of course classes exist.

It’s an interesting theory. But without a study in an other mode of production, it’s wishful thinking… and to hope for a new mode of production to change how the brain works, and in such a deep level, is not a very credible one. Moreover, it’s not relevant for communist organization within capitalism.

It is studied and no, it’s not supernatural.

Class is not supernatural either. But as i said in another message, the corrupting effect of power is well-studied by psychology.

It’s true. But my sentence was true too.
