Marx's psycho-analysis on proto-strivers
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 27th, 2014 6:50 PM Author: Mint disturbing plaza http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx%27s_theory_of_alienation
Alienation (Entfremdung) is the systemic result of living in a socially stratified society, because being a mechanistic part of a social class alienates a person from his and her humanity. The theoretic basis of alienation within the capitalist mode of production is that the worker invariably loses the ability to determine his or her life and destiny, when deprived of the right to think (conceive) of himself as the director of his actions; to determine the character of said actions; to define their relationship with other people; and to own the things and use the value of the goods and services, produced with their labour. Although the worker is an autonomous, self-realised human being, as an economic entity, he or she is directed to goals and diverted to activities that are dictated by the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production, in order to extract from the worker the maximal amount of surplus value, in the course of business competition among industrialists.
Fairy accurate, no? |

Elites push the mass of society around and the masses, for a mixture of reasons (dumb, lack of privilege, lack of leaders, barriers put up intentionally and maybe even unintentionally by the elites) simply can never rise up. |

Date: April 27th, 2014 7:15 PM Author: Mint disturbing plaza What are you talking about? Historically, there was polygamy and 20% of the men did take 80% of the women, it's because of capitalism, that low-class garbage women end up taking their male counterparts, instead of becoming a concubine for a harem.

Date: April 27th, 2014 7:28 PM Author: Mint disturbing plaza No, what happened before is that chad and his bro would have been feudal lords, and would have married or taken concubines of a couple of dozen of those girls, and the rest would only be left for only a few of their highest-ranking subordinates at best.

Date: April 27th, 2014 7:25 PM Author: Mint disturbing plaza Polygamy was feudalism, it occurred during the middle ages as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy_in_Christianity#Middle_Ages
It ended once the beta bourgeoisie usurped control from the traditional alpha warrior-aristocracy, and implemented monogamy to get better access to women, so that alphas wouldn't take them all. |

Date: April 27th, 2014 7:32 PM Author: Orange rigor Eh, but not for 90% of the population. Looks pretty limited and most lower-class doods were fine with their ugly wives. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2553812&forum_id=2#25459826) |

It ties into the critique on marginalism, all the same. |
|
Date: April 27th, 2014 7:14 PM Author: Orange rigor I don't understand this. Help?
It seems to me to just be inaccurate and primitive as opposed to saying that we've designed products that provide short term neurological stimulation, but that destroy long-term happiness and joy. (i.e. the "Alpha dude: something awesome; u: poast" meme)
And then just moving that capitalism/short-term thinking to private relationships as women gained the freedom to be as stupid as men. |

Date: April 27th, 2014 7:16 PM Author: Mint disturbing plaza Because you yourself are looking at the picture through a rationalized marginal viewpoint, based on sociology, which is a marginalist-derived fraud of an ideology. Marx analyzed the picture objectively. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2553812&forum_id=2#25459715) |

Date: April 27th, 2014 7:41 PM Author: Orange rigor huh. honestly, i'm a little lost as to how that connects to what we were talking about re: isolation/addiction/commodification of relationships.
and i'm still puzzling through if it has any meaning other than 'economic models are shitty and simple' which i already knew/believed. |
|
Date: April 27th, 2014 7:48 PM Author: Mint disturbing plaza It's the economic understanding of marginal utility that developed into sociology, you're looking through a socio-economic framework based on those shitty models.
Political Economy, a comprehensive analysis, was always more accurate. |
