Kept seeing this clip of Barry Sternlicht laughing about a “nice little recession” so I thought I’d share.
For what it’s worth, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone hoping for a recession. My stepdad told me this and I don’t understand why he’d want that.
According to him the only way to combat inflation is for us to go into a recession. But wouldn’t that cause a different form of chaos?
I’m uneducated on inflation vs recession but I know for a fact through lived experience that inflation sucks, and I’ve heard recession is also shit so why ask for one?
Anyway if this doesn’t belong here please let me know so I can post it somewhere else, I’m still getting used to what posts belong in what communities.
Read on Authority (it’s like a page long)
A link for the masses: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm
My argument was not against authority, my argument was against oppression against minorities.
Which concepts would you use to make the argument against oppressing minorities?
The parallel I was trying to draw was about minority abstract fights, without class theory becomes identitarism. But a “socialist” fight without concern for minorities, runs the risk of becoming fascism, on the limit, running purely on dogma, tradition, majority, and rigidity.
Is that disagreeable? Am I mixing up concepts? What am I missing?
