I comment your appreciation of the field as a science, but you should also acknowledge that 80% of what's currently taught in the academia about economics is just wrong. Supply and demand (unfalsifiable and shitty predictive capabilities compared to the falsifiable and empirically proven labour theory of value) is just one example in the long list of econ-101 bullshit.

Regardless, as an appreciator of economics, have you checked out econophysics? The study of economics as a thermodynamical system. It's wonderful, with predictive capabilities on for example salary distributions in capitalist economies, Paul Cockshott has a book and a few introductory videos on his YouTube channel

Economics as a field in theory is great. The problem is that it's been hijacked by capitalism, and 90% of the stuff taught in faculties is antiscientific. The founding grounds of neoliberal economics lay in the Austrian school, which prides itself in being non-falsifiable by evidence. Anything stemming from there is a pile of dogshit. Marxian economics and Modern Monetary Theory, on the other hand, have wonderful predictive capabilities and are proper science

He was the economist

Firsthand accounts not detailing any numeric information and replicating questionable "events" like the unproven torturing of Andreu Nin? I'm asking you for more sources, come on, throw em at me

Yo, you still haven't replied. Give us the evidence of mass repressions against anarchists by the Soviets during the Spanish Civil War.

Yes, non-tankies famously defeated fascism over and over again, like

Wait...

frantically searching in the book

Oh no... Oh no no no...

For reference: I'm a Spaniard, and the Soviet Union was the only country in the world that stepped up to arm the antifascists during our civil war with rifles, tanks and planes. The vast majority of weapons used by the CNT-FAI were of Soviet manufacture. I can only wish that the Soviets had liberated my country from fascism after WW2, unfortunately the USA prevented that and we were left with 30 extra years of fascism

Also, the meme can be rewritten as "how I stopped caring about actual fascism because the western-manufactured atrocity propaganda made me focus on the ones who actually defeated Nazism and Japanese Imperialism"

Stopped reading. Actually, gonna block you right after writing this message. I don't want to know anything from you ever again lmfao.

I meant medical physicians, not particularly researchers. My point is we could apply the healthcare model, i.e. a body of highly trained professionals working on exchange for a wage without the need for constant evaluation of metrics, relying on social value of medicine instead of grants as motivation.

Medicine is already this better way (in countries with social healthcare systems). A body of highly trained specialists who constantly update their knowledge through research, conferences and reading the last scientific advancements, and don't necessarily earn extremely high salaries but have a comfortable life and a stable employment. We could expand this model to all sciences.

Yeah but I'd shift the phrasing from "nobody wins from war" to "carpet bombing of civilians by an imperialist power is evil"

You: "not a photo, it's the output of an algorithm taking the luminosity from an array of light detectors, giving information of the colour and modifying it according to lighting conditions, and then using specific software to sharpen the original capture*

Nobody wins in war

The Vietnamese won, as a matter of fact, and liberated themselves from colonialism as a consequence
