    what I’m asking is how you determine what’s useful and what isn’t. unsurprisingly seems to come back to getting a good capitalist boy again.

      I think capitalism persists because most people can’t label a supply and demand diagram.

        how? it’s the most basic thing about economy. maybe it’s because we don’t have 50 states over here but we learned it. still capitalism.

          Because an economy will still exist after capitalism, and understanding economic theory (like surplus value) is helpful in overthrowing capitalism.

            I disagree. that’s like saying the average serf needs to understand lordship to overthrow the king. no they just need to be fed up. the understanding of the intricacies of the new government is the job of scholars, not the serfs.
