The sales people almost always end up doing well in companies. And then when they get high up in the company they only value others ability to make sales and work for bonuses. As time goes on a company’s e-suite gets more and more saturated with charismatic dummies who will do anything for a buck, leaving less room for good administrators and engineers.
Hah! Good luck finding one
Being rich makes you so divorced from consequences that you start to believe that what is in your brain is what is real. Money isn’t what we think it is.
There’s some of it in the comments of this post
Make sure to keep blaming “rednecks” and “hillbillies”, and not the billionaire backers of MAGA who own various media outlets and some of the largest companies in the world.
That’s great for them, but what about my chuckles, what about my guffaws, what about my happiness??
Ever since it was taken off the air, I have been putting $30 in pennies up my ass every day, and then spending them. There are so many of my ass pennies in circulation, that surely the executives at comedy central and the creators of battlebots as well as anyone associated with this atrocity and their children, and their children’s children have, by now, handled my ass pennies
Yeah I know they have a theatre in Chicago I think, which is awesome. But I don’t live there. That show was so funny
I read the whole bible as an adult.
But the discipline that took, probably shows that I was starting to think more deeply about things
Cancelled Upright Citizens Brigade for Battle Bots, I won’t ever forgive them
They can’t. Its not a matter of personal greed, its just how capitalism works, it creates immense wealth for a few on one end and mass immiseration for the masses on the other. Billionaires exist because of the system that creates them.
Sounds kinda tain
My son showed me this last night, its insane. Its like one video from his feed and then two videos of people getting mauled
Your own citation says there is no basis for it in Lenin, like what did I just quote?
As I said above, if you can produce this quote, I will send you $50. If you’re not comfortable with that for identity reasons I will send $50 to any charity you specify (that isn’t right wing but you wouldn’t do that) and post the evidence. It is actually worth at least that much to me since I’ve spent an insane amount of time trying to find this reference.
I’ve had hexbears and .mls tell me it came from an obscure periodical that isn’t translated into English, but when I used google translate to convert the entire article, paragraph by paragraph, I never found anything even glancingly close.
If you find a reference by Marx, Luxemburg, Gramsci, Bordiga, Levi, Pannekoek, Plekhanov, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Stalin, Dunayevskaya – basically any major left wing revolutionary theoretician of renown I will still honor the arrangement because it’s worth it to me. Please find the reference or leave me alone. I can’t state my case any better without writing a full length article and I’m tired of this back and forth, I’m sure you are too.
I know, the irony is I’m criticizing people for not bothering to learn history and theory, and then you call a few paragraphs that I wrote in like 5 minutes “a novel”. Please try and keep up, or actually contribute to the discussion, smart guy
This actually isn’t real difficult for someone with even a molecule of intellectual honesty.
You posted this link, which you apparently didn’t read: https://checkyourfact.com/2019/11/29/fact-check-karl-marx-capitalist-hang-sold-rope-quote/
The last line of the article says this:
The saying, Quote Investigator noted, is frequently attributed to Lenin and former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, though there’s “no substantive evidence” it originated with them either.
The Quote investigator link says:
The earliest strong match located by QI appeared in 1955 within a periodical called “The Commonwealth: Official Journal of the Commonwealth Club of California”. The club is a non-profit public affairs organization. The quotation appeared as a filler item. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI:1
Lenin wrote, “When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will vie with each other for the rope contract.” —Major George Racey Jordan
Jordan was a U.S. military officer who became a fierce anti-communist. Lenin had died in 1924; hence, the 1955 date was quite late. No documentary source was specified, and multiple researchers have been unable to find a match in Lenin’s writings.
