Marxism
[QUOTE=WildWalleye;460469]I'd posit that capitalism makes great pussy exorbitantly expensive. There! I have found a use for socialism and marxism.[/QUOTE]Not so.
At a campaign event in Brockton, Mass. A heckler called Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren “a socialist *****.” What did the founders of socialism think of prostitution?
They didn’t like it. Karl Marx viewed prostitutes as victims of the capitalist system. In his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, he described sex work as being “only a specific expression of the general prostitution of the laborer,” and viewed the abolition of prostitution as a necessary part of ending capitalism. Similarly, in The Communist Manifesto, he called prostitution the “complement” of the bourgeois family, and predicted that both institutions would one day vanish. Still, some have used Marxist theory (especially as found in his later writing) to defend prostitution not as the buying and selling of bodies but rather as the selling of a service.

DonB.[/QUOTE]You do realize that Marx never really supported himself through the fruits of his own labor. He was a complete failure as a person. He was full of shit and most of what he wrote was stuff he made up and had no way of actually proving or disproving in the real world.

Imagination
It was hard to imagine a President worse than Trump, but now imagination is not required.
The things that Trump did that I agreed with, Biden has overturned.

Place your bets
Trump said he could beat easily Biden in a boxing match.
