    I mean, you say you read many crucial marxist books, yet you make the same arguements as all the people on the internet who never actually read anything and just take liberal propaganda at face value. Either you are not well enough educated on the subject, or you did nt understand most of what waswritten in those books.

It's horrible now they reject me the same day it's disrespectful and waste of my time to go to university to be unemployed so long after graduation.

  • @stino9635
    @stino9635 Před 7 měsíci

    Economic stagnation is a dumb argument as much of the innovation comes from the public sector the earliest blue prints of a touch screen phone came from government specially the cia or what about NASA. When it comes to capitalism there is a tendency to innovate only where there is profit motive, build a machine that increase production but when it comes to new areas such as experimental technology such as space travel it’s too expensive to be profitable for the mass population it stagnates only though the state stepping in a providing government contracts does it become profitable and innovative.

  • @stino9635
    @stino9635 Před 7 měsíci

    The dictatorship of the proletariat is a democracy. He said so in civil war in France. Marx is pointing out that under democracy it is not really democracy in the traditional sense in which everyone has a say in the state, Marx points out that under capitalism the capitalists class has a much bigger say then that of the working class or as Lenin said in state and revolution “ Democracy in capitalism is the same as democracy in ancient society, a democracy for slaveholders”. Your commits about the state withering away ignores the historical reality of 1917. As soon as the Bolsheviks seized state control they were invaded by the allied powers (the United States, Britain and France) as well as the proto-fascist white guards. If they done always with the state it would have failed right away and not in the military coup like in 1991.

    Economics is excellent preparation for graduate school (if that is a goal). Econ majors have some of the highest LSAT scores, and some of the highest proportion of leadership positions. From a practical standpoint you won't get recruited like accounting or finance majors into accounting or banking firms but on the whole employers love this major. You can go into the public sector, NGO, MNC, private, academia (if you get a min masters). But study what you like. You definitely need more math than accounting and maybe about the same if not a little more than finance at the masters level. There are economists at banks but those are real economists (PHD's).

All of these arguments stem from anarchistic, trotskiest, and capitalist misinformation. And these points have been debunked

  • @stochasticdifferentialeq.1393

    Choose Economics if you want to pursue a career in academia, do research in public organizations and work as a data scientist for private or public sectors. Choose finance if you want to work as a stock broker, bond trader, and financial analyst but not working in the risk management position that is part of the finance that deals with advanced graduate level probability and other highly advance math subjects. Choose accounting if you simply want to be a bookkeeper 😅 be it of for an individual or run an office to handle many firms accounting book.

      you also use examples of communism not working on huge governmental levels in situations where many, many more factors led to the failure of those systems. people are only greedy when they are raised in a society dominated by a zero-sum mentality, by hyper-individualism, by Christian ideas like "only selfless giving is TRUE giving" as opposed to an assumed mutual oneness between people and their very environment, by a culture that encourages plundering and consumerism and possession and greed itself. and yes, the soviet union still had such a society when they formed.

      also, what would drive "growth" is the needs of the people, not the constant accumulation of wealthy by a tiny percentage of the population. if people got together because they wanted to go to the moon, they could still do that? people wouldn't be desperate for more money because their needs would be better met. they would work out of the natural human desire to follow one's passions, to help one another.
