This reminds me that once I've seen ultralibs seriously arguing that a law requiring seatbelts or making children wear them is totalitarianism.

Would be a great bit imo

Internationally

It's funny how libs ALWAYS take europe, north america and Australia for the whole world. It's the same assumption in every single comment criticizing China for whatever reason

It's incredible how Marx was already dunking on the same arguments we see TODAY, everywhere.

Somewhere in Grundrisse, he criticizes an American economist that argues that the state is wheighing down the american economy and that it should be abolished for the market to be free. The quotes felt like someone slipped reddit comments into the pages.

(Btw, Marx explains that the American state is itself the result of the self organization of free market forces, unlike in European countries, in which captalists had to deal with the feudal institutions that preceded them, so the american's argument made zero sense then and still makes zero sense now)
