The 1% of the users who are admins, have been oppressing the denizens of Jolt Country long enough!

This rampant banning of usernames must stop!

Brother, you are not alone!

We will bump this thread at least every day (once every few hours) to show our solidarity with the shambled, the impoverished, and the wronged until our demands are met!

Our demands:

1) The username Reality Check must be unbanned! Reality will not remolded to conform to the views of the 1%!

2) Modemjane must not be censored! Ban the IP, let the identity be!

3) ICJ must pledge to never ban a username again!

4) Pinback must create, test, and publish a low calorie Green Chile Burrito recipe! The 99% of those in the F.A.C. contest who are trying to reduce their mass and thus lower their gravitational pull, need to be represented with a delicious, non-fattening green chile delicacy.

As stated, until our demands are met we, the guest accounts of JC, will bump this thread at least once a day with inspiring, thought provoking words that will topple the now draconian dictatorship that has gripped this BBS!

We are the novelty guest accounts! We have spoken!

Were here, and were not going anywhere until this injustice has been undone!

Here is a quote from Marx to unite and allow us to think on the lesson at hand...

"Political Economy has indeed analysed, however incompletely, value and its magnitude, and has discovered what lies beneath these forms. But it has never once asked the question why labour is represented by the value of its product and labour-time by the magnitude of that value. These formulae, which bear it stamped upon them in unmistakable letters that they belong to a state of society, in which the process of production has the mastery over man, instead of being controlled by him, such formulae appear to the bourgeois intellect to be as much a self-evident necessity imposed by Nature as productive labour itself."

- Karl Marx

Marx had no idea what he was doing. For example, he presumes that all labor has value and doesn't realize that some labor has more value than others. And some labor actually destroys value and provides no value at all

You can take green apples, flour, milk, sugar, all things of value, and combine them, using a recipe, to make an apple pie. A skilled chef can do so faster than you can. An expert pastry chef can create an even tastier product with less effort. On the other hand, an incompetent can put these things together wrong, and take somethings already of value, and turn it into an inedible mess of value zero.

These simple kitchen equations completely destroy Marx' theory of value, and probably if you consider his points, probably almost everything he said.

You I don't trust; you have the nasty habit of promising funds for one or more things, then welching. (If you hadn't solved a major question I had I'd still be grousing about the five bucks.) And not good welching like Welch's fruit pieces or jelly.

The funny thing is Marx reminds me of someone else. Damned if I can't think who it is, some actor or famous person who looks similar. Eh, I suppose, put him in a red suit and he'd probably look like the Coca-Cola Santa. Which makes sense since most of his ideas were also pure fantasy.

Damn if he don't look like someone I remember, though.

As they say on the Wikipedia, [citation needed].

Tdarcos, I don't think you've ever read Marx.
