In the parts of Capital where Marx refers to dead labor, he actually means it literally and means skeletons doing a lot of labor in society

Just something about those 80's cartoon openings

Probably just the fact that they knew they had to hook our small brains immediately or we might change the channel

Spiral Zone was like the prototype Command and Conquer, setting and even vibes-wise.

Fuck

You're absolutely right

Earth's most powerful soldiers = GDI

Marx was a Boglins guy. Engels was into Skeleton Warriors. Both of them hated Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.

[–] Jobasha@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Did Marx account for the Cloak of the Undead King when writing Capital?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Probably a bunch of removed.
