Shoutout to the Organization of Communist Action in Lebanon for *once again* somehow recreating proletarian nation theory with their concept of “community class”

Bet that works out great and reactionaries totally don’t use it to reinforce sectarian divides

The implication made that the social relations of the church, and before that the law, were meant to act explicitly as a dam against the waters of burgeoning capitalist relations is such an exciting reading

I for one find it very silly that a line from Smith stating explicitly “an industrious and frugal peasant” in England has greater accommodation and access to wealth than “an African king” is still somehow in use today. Just deeply unrigorous and unserious in both the aspirations of the market and its reality.
