I have constructed two english translations for very important works of 17th century French political economy. First is Antoine Montchretien's "Treatise of Political Economy" (1615), from whence the neologism of "political economy" arises. The second translation is Boisguilbert's "Detail of France" (1695); the expanded second edition of 1707, which includes other works, including his "Factum" (1706) and "Dissertation" (1707). This work is also where Marx sees classical political economy begin in France, developing from the earlier work of William Petty (1662).

On a larger point of 17th century political economy, I will make general comment regarding the turn to free trade, from the writings of William Potter (1651), to Josiah Child (1668) and John Law (1705), who all advocated for the lowering of interest to expand the supply of money. Boisguilbert is equally seen as advancing the laissez-faire tradition, contrary to thinkers of the early 17th century like Montchretien, who guards trade in the typical mercantilist fashion, as a weapon to use against foreigners, rather than a source of mutual benefit - such as we see develop in the second half of the 18th century, particularly with Adam Smith (1776). So then, these texts are important in showing the difference between the attitudes of the century, earlier (1615) and later (1695) in the period, which Marx describes (e.g. Capital Vol. 3, Ch. 36) as the movement from usurer's capital to industrial capital.

Another Dutch book. Witte Ko: Herinneringen uit het Gewapend Verzet. This one is not going to win any prizes for its prose, it's a transcript of an interview or a series of interviews.

Jan Brasser (nom de guerre: Witte Ko) was a Dutch communist and resistance fighter. In the book he retells his many actions against the occupier during the war years, actions that he either participated in or ordered. Starting out with acts of organized workplace sabotage as well as strikes and stoppages at the Hoogovens steel factory (modern day Tata steel), Brasser was soon a wanted man and had to go underground. His actions included sabotage, prison breaks, raids on government offices and assassinations. He also risked his life for what I can only describe as a prank, by raising the Soviet flag on a German army outpost after the defeat at Stalingrad.

After the war he worked with the government to bring to justice people who had profited off of the occupation, but was frustrated when he saw many of them walk and enjoy prominent positions in Dutch business. Once he left the service of the government , he was denied his old job at Hoogovens, probably because he was a communist and had proven himself a capable organizer.

Five years of not knowing if he would end the day in front of a firing squad and regularly losing comrades had a major impact on him, not to mention the thousands of kilometers that he cycled and the lack of food during the hunger winter.

Although a third of the Dutch communist party members participated in the resistance, this was soon, and purposefully, forgotten. They were not even allowed to lay a wreath at the grave of their fallen comrade Hannie Schaft when she reburied from her unmarked grave in the dunes. The official remembrance of the february strike too did not allow the participation of the CPN until many years after the war, even though they were the ones who organized it. This last part genuinely pisses me the fuck off, but I've come to expect no better of this country.

What a fallacious post.

> there are also many people who legit do not realize they're being oppressed and exploited, like a lot of workers in the West.
2 year old post but worth addressing; class consciousness and helping proletariat understand the position they are in is necessary but it's not what the majority of these "activists" do. These people are lifestylists no different from twitter NAFO-tards and the preceding /pol/fags. They don't truly believe in what they shill, they don't even care about the people they claim to be fighting for and would gladly attack members of the groups they claim to represent. I have seen this shit happen. These people are usually terminally online and very vocal, making themselves the 'face' of such things. /pol/'s memes about feminists in 2016 weren't generated AI video, they were thousands of radlibs making idiots of themselves and subsequently making anyone they claimed to represent look like idiots too.

>Reducing Dworkin to "hyperbolic grievance mongering" however is nothing more than an undiluted expression of utter misogyny
The only way you could even begin to believe anything Dworkin wrote is if you believe that women are innocent, hapless, childlike creatures who are entirely incapable of controlling any aspect of their own lives by their own power and whose natural predisposition is to completely submit and grovel before men if they show even the slightest sign of dominance and are not entirely holding themselves back.

I know Dworkinites will deny up and down that she said that all heterosexual sex is rape, but that is simply the natural conclusion of her beliefs. If you define sex partially coerced through massive power imbalance, and also see men strong, dominant and violent while women are feeble, meek, cringing and more or less in a state of perpetual childhood, then you could only conclude that these two groups is a form of rape in the same way that an adult having sex with a child is always a form of rape.

Not what was said, nor an argument. Modern ideology is liberal garbage.

>I read Dworkin's account of her relationship with Israel as a thinly veiled analogy to her growing disillusionment with the women's liberation movement.
The very term "women's liberation movement" in this time-period and in a Western context (that she is almost exclusively referring to) is so retarded as to be fucking comedic, if not for the fact that there are stupid entitled burger-women and men that actually subscribe to this ideological bullshit.
>"women's Israel"
<Shilling for nationalist-ethno-state but for a specific sex

>she gives a literary expression to the mass suffering of women as a class
Women are not a separate class, but an identity. Take off that Soviet flag, you bring shame to Marxism-Leninism.
>the barely repressed need for their collective vengeance.
What need? Do you even know what 'need' means? Vengeance on whom?
>nothing more than an undiluted expression of utter misogyny
No, it is dismissing pseudo-intellectual projection of a hateful spinster and not giving the long-winded rubbish more time than it deserves. Calling a cunt out for being a cunt is not misogyny you liberal.

The problem with Dworkin isn't that she's wrong but that's she's trivial. Marriage and prostitution are both paid rape. Who cares?

>>25843
Having read some Dworkin, I don't know if she ever directly said that because it seems like she never directly says anything ever. All Dworkin does is complain about men, and all positions she is said to hold seems to be more inferred from the exact way that she is complaining about men in any given work rather than directly stated.

<The man's unsubstantiated allegations of "ritualistic sacrifice" appeared in an email exchange between an apparent FBI agent and New York police detective, per the DOJ's records (the file name is "EFTA00147661" (archived)). The DOJ appeared to have removed this file from the Epstein Library after Snopes first reported this story. We contacted the department to ask why and await a reply.

There’s this common assumption that education makes people less religious and less racist.
It’s been repeated so much that people treat academia as the new religion

the key is to not simply be against usury, but also against profit, rent, and wages. Communism seeks to abolish the wages system. profit, interest, rent, and wages are all part of the system of exploitation.

Western style higher education, especially STEM fields, embody the epistemology and ideology of secularism and capitalism. You'll notice that most chuds and neo stalinists are people from STEM backgrounds i.e. people who believe we can rationally predict and plan all human affairs with statistics, the scientific method etc.

So more “Pink Swastika” nonsense, I am genuinely sick of the frequent comments that any outward display of violence or bigotry means someone is a self-hating closet case. Do people really think no straight man has ever been insecure about his masculinity? Is it really not obvious that queerphobia and strict adherence to traditional gender roles can be motivated by something other than self-hatred?
