Wife wants coke, a brick of hash, bottle of pills, some meat and some sausage. Kid wants a sandwich and some ciggies.
On authority is used to justify the fact that many communist movements of the past turned into brutal dictatorships and that “it’s fine actually that mao starved half of China because you can’t have a revolution without being authoritarian”.
The actual paper is short and kind of stupid. What Engels was arguing in that short essay with a ridiculously outsized influence was that he was technically correct (the best kind) that anarchists are silly because any type of government someone could propose inevitably involves one person imposing their will on another like your quote says.
Really what Engels (who was a prominent communist thinker) was doing was fucking up any attempts at communist organization because now 1/3 of communists think that brutal authoritarianism is based and necessary for a revolution.

I want an alternative history story about Trump being the president for 911
Yes. It needs to cure my cancer and give me a massage or I refuse to eat it.
Sorry, I see how my post could have read. I was agreeing with you. I just wanted to add on because I think it’s so cool that the only thing we’ve ever really been able to do with all our scientific progress and applied science is establish that when we see one thing happening we can be pretty sure that it usually leads to this other thing and we don’t really know why.
Physics is just us categorizing the relationships between different observed phenomena. “Explanations” are fun, and many can be true at certain scales, but getting deeper into any specific phenomenon is just a rabbit hole that leads to more and more “we don’t know why it does that, it just does and it works in our models.”
IDK if the original hypothesis is true or not. But it’s kind of impossible to make judgements on evolution based on anything we know about humans and society. Modern homo sapiens are only about 150,000 years old and were pretty sure any semblance of a modern hierarchical society didn’t begin until about 7,500 years ago, much less the concept of money which only happened another thousands of years later.
10,000 years is a drop in the bucket evolutionarily, hell, 100,000 years doesn’t even do much, so any theory of evolution or why a complex hormone like cortisol evolved to be used in the way it is now is way off base if you’re referencing concepts like “rich” and “poor” or reference to any form of societal structure made in the last 10,000 years.

It’s all kind of a subset of sociology. Why do groups make decisions? It’s down to individual psychology. But that’s similar to saying all science is derivative of physics. It’s technically true, but it does us more favors to split it up.
I think sociology is part of a field called “The Social Sciences” which includes sociology, psychology, polisci etc.
Yeah, polisci has gotten as far as the “observation” part of science and kinda has to stop there for moral reasons.

I thought this was a T-shirt and now I want it on a tshirt
No you couldn’t, they would never buy an 8000$ pineapple today because he could get one down the street for a couple bucks.
I go to /c/greentext to have my 4chan brain rot filtered out of the experience. Otherwise I could just go to 4chan.
