Capital: A Critique of Political Economy

A book written by Karl Marx and published in 1867 that deals with the development of capitalism and its problems. It is generally highly admired for its foresight of how capitalism would eventually develop over time.

Note that Capital: A Critique of Political Economy is purely criticizing the status quo, predicting its development and pinpointing its problems, while the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or simply Communist Manifesto) offers possible solutions to these problems.

'Hey, I just read Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx. And I now believe that the only way to create a fair society is by overthrowing the bourgeoisie.'

Politically Homeless

An individual who feels disconnected from all political parties, believing that none accurately represent their views or priorities. This term often applies to those who feel let down by existing political opinions, finding no party that aligns with their values or vision for the future. This particularly applies to individuals currently living in Alberta, Canada.

Political Person

A person who is so fucking inbred and dense, they have to bring up politics even when the topic at hand, doesn't even fucking remotely relate to politics.

Usualy in the comment section of an Instagram or TikTok post, pulling the most bullshit reason out of their ass about how Trump is at fault for a car accident in Georgia, or natural disaster in a different fucking country.

This person usually doesn't have friends, due to the fact they make politics and hating Trump their whole personality. They also lack empathy towards mainly Democratic people, and/or say stupid, rude, or threatening things to people, because of their fucking political opinion. They are also genuinely the most miserable people to be around.

News - "Breaking news tonight a 5 year old girl has died in a crash on I-95 in Georgia"

Political Person - "Uhhhg, this would never have happened if Trump wasn't president"

Normal Person - "Can you shut the fuck up dude! Why the fuck do you blame Trump for fucking everything? And go take a shower, you smell like ass!"

Politics: Religion attacking government; Then acting like it's not government.

Ideally; Politics as it was founded remains unchanged.

meta-politics

Meta-politics derives its origin from the observation that colonized peoples borrow the concept of nationhood from the people that colonized them.

Meta-politics is the idea that the IDEA of property is borrowed

Meta-politics is a specialized application of Rene Girard's mimetic desire.
