    Still a semantic argument. But anyway, can you present any non-Marxist source to back your claim about the history and meaning of this English word?

    Yes, over being invaded by the Soviets as well, very much so. One butcher is better than two butchers, and there is no love lost there. To quote an old Polish joke:

    'A Polish man finds a genie in a bottle. The genie offers him three wishes.

    The Pole says, “I want the Mongols to invade Poland and then go back to Mongolia.”

    So it happens.

    For his next wish, the Pole also asks for the Mongols to invade Poland and then go home.

    So it happens.

    For his third wish, the Pole again asks for the Mongols to invade Poland and go home.

    “I gave you three wishes,” the genie cries. “Why did you ask for the Mongols to invade Poland and then go home three times?”

    “Because they had to march across Russia six times.”’

    Saudi Arabia risks war with Israel and by extension the US if they trade in anything other than Dollars, hence the term Petro-Dollar

    There is no evidence for this.

    You really don’t see how a bunch of people’s belief in something can cause them to make a decision that affects our world? I see it regularly. People sit down to pray. This is an action that happens. It is because of their perceptions. Nothing in science would deny that any of this happens.

    Regarding QM, I’d ask you to please try to explain the results of double-slit experiment in some other way, then.

    I think I’ve dealt with you quite fairly, actually. Only your faith seems to prevent you from acknowledging anything outside of standard communist doctrine.

      Social Democrats and Democratic Socialists consider themselves reformists and yet are not Marxists.

      Yes, over being invaded by the Soviets as well, very much so. One butcher is better than two butchers, and there is no love lost there. To quote an old Polish joke:

      Talk to some poles, holy shit. The Nazis slaughtered the poles. This is Nazi Apologia and is absolutely monstrous behavior, no wonder liberals side with fascists. Here’s another common joke: scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.

      There is no evidence for this.

      Of course there is. This is a hot topic in the economics world, as Saudi Arabia is ending the exclusive Petro-Dollar Agreement

      Ideas of religion come from reality. People making up religion to explain their material reality doesn’t mean the thoughts of religion predated percieving reality. Religion was an explanation for reality before science surpassed it, not the other way around. You fundamentally do not understand Materialism nor Idealism.

      Regarding QM, I’d ask you to please try to explain the results of double-slit experiment in some other way, then.

      Perception does not create QM. QM isn’t something that exists purely in perception, it’s reality first and foremost. You’re misunderstanding Materialism and Idealism once again.

      I think I’ve dealt with you quite fairly, actually. Only your faith seems to prevent you from acknowledging anything outside of standard communist doctrine.

      You mean sympathizing with Nazis is your idea of dealing with people fairly?

        That is not a source. Donald Trump can call himself a reformist if he wants, that would not make him one. And anyway, Soc Dems do not want to abolish capitalism either.

        You know who else slaughtered Poles? Russians.

        That is not evidence of an Israeli-Saudi war.

        No, ideas of religion do not have to come from reality. They can come from indoctrination, with no evidence for any real effects necessary whatsoever. They do not have to be poor, rich, landed, unlanded, there is no material requirement for a person to engage with religion. It’s simply a choice divorced from reality, and sometimes not even a choice.

        Yeah, your philosophy is running headfirst into evidence. It’s pretty clear you’re just spouting bullshit without even knowing anything about the physics now. It is, admittedly, very counter-intuitive and came about much later than Marxist philosophy.

        Yeah, you can try to spin this however you want, either way, I have not tried to deceive you and have dealt with every point you have raised, without spin. You should question why you have to suddenly spin this though, just because I say the USSR should not have partitioned Poland with Hitler. Anyways though, was the USSR generously protecting Finland from Nazis as well?
