    They’re not overproducing. They’re cost cutting and exploiting workers, neither of which is an act of production.

    And no, I don’t think I’m gonna be wasting any more time reading monist theory such as materialism than I already have.

    I prefer NOT trying to cram the whole world into one specious binary.

      “Corporations are bad because they’re greedy” doesn’t read like materialism to me, but maybe you’ve read different theory. Or am I reading that wrong? Are you saying that, actually, you’re just done with materialism as a concept?

      Because uh.

      Or maybe you’ve never read anything, because you’re too smart to waste your time reading other people’s thoughts. 🫸

        Not to me either, but “profiteering equals overproduction and so does regulatory capture” sure does.

        Or maybe you’ve never read anything

        Yeah, because that’s the ONLY way to disagree with your reductionist theory: to not be aware of it 🙄

          inflates own ego by calling things an “oversimplified 19th century framework of false dichotomies”

          never explains what they are even talking about

          explanation of the current American crisis is simply “greed”, no further analysis or thought

          claims to be the intellectual and logical superior in this dialogue

          You can’t make this shit up, folks

          You’re definitely too smart to waste your time reading reductionist theories! You only read real theory, like… what, exactly?
