if producer A buys a piece of bread from producer B with 5 gold, and producer B buys a shirt from producer A with 5 gold, then the net result is the same as if producer A and producer B directly traded the products of their labor. But in societies where commodity production is highly developed with a powerful money commodity, the latter rarely occurs and commodities are always sold for money first (translation into the universal exchange-value which money possesses) and then used to buy another commodity. Even though money is always the transient form in the circulation of commodities, there is no other commodity more essential to the process than the money commodity.

lesser of the two evilism has NOTHING to do with Lenin keep his name out of your mouth before actually opening a book for once

I dont have anything mixed up lmao

Blaming your internalized misogyny on an involuntary biological sexual response is not

There is no way you think Im saying that lmao

You’ve claimed in this thread that you believe you can choose to force yourself to be sexually attracted to men against your own will as a political act of defiance against internalized feelings of misogyny.

You might genuinely be illiterate.

they’re simply choosing to be queer, and that they could just as easily choose not to be if they wanted to badly enough.

What does that even mean? And yes there are plenty of house queers who choose to be house queers instead of fighting for liberation, and society have accepted their assimilation.

This claim does nothing to address the root of your misogyny (your own beliefs and actions toward women)

I am completely fine in that regard thankfully, which is why I am even worrying about sexuality in the first place because I notice the dissonance that my sexuality causes in my mind

Frankly, you are the one who exposed yourself as being a pathetic biological essentialist philistine who thinks sex has anything to do with biology. No wonder you are spewing vitriol at me

Im not saying you cannot be heterosexual. I also dont have any violent sexual fantasies. Marxism also tells us higher education is heavily bourgeois and serves to maintain capitalism and exploit workers. Does that make education bad inherently? Of course not, but if you are going to university and dont actively fight bourgeois ideology you will quickly become a servant of the bourgeoisis. The same logic applies to sex.

Marxism informs us that women are sexually exploited under patriarchal society. The dominant forms of male heterosexuality is latently misogynistic. Im sure that there are people who are sexually attracted to woman who arent misogynistic, but in my case I genuinely believe that my sexual attraction to woman contains latent misogyny, and that must be fixed. Its impossible to eradicate it for good, but its current existence is enough to unsettle me. Just like how it is a common phenomenon within humans to think about jumping off when next to a cliff, there are people for whom that thought rarely pops up and doesnt affect them, and people like me for whom that thought frequently pops up and makes me scared of heights.

dude fuck off you have zero grounds to call me mentally ill, that is actually disgusting

conversion therapy is literally the polar opposite of what I am advocating for

not entirely, but there must be a way to defeat it severely

the idea that sexuality is not a choice is a liberal copout that refuses to confront the very real sexual exploitation that our entire society is based on. in that case, are the millions of men whose sexuality literally involves violence towards women and queer people justified? There is clearly culpability. how could anyone be liberated if sexuality is thought of as something outside of the individual’s control.

I mean, if I was not a communist I would not have been able to deconstruct my latent homophobia, and as a result not have been attracted by men, but there is no direct connection there

and surely there is a way, I dont believe the sexuality is not a choice shit, if I wasnt a communist theres no way I would have sex with a man. So there is surely some other way to get rid of heterosexuality?

This is how I sound

I really wish I was a woman, not in a gender dysphoric way but just because how smart and pretty woman are

that is more promising

so you think disabled people face the same kind of oppression that queer and people of color face? Gender oppression has been around since the inception of class society, the subjugation of races, their exploitation and expropriation created the bulk of capitalist wealth, what is the significance of the oppression that disabled people face historically? It is not something that gets to stand on equal footing with the other two, and quit throwing stupid names at me
