Here's a good policy for saving the lives of the unborn:https://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/13/health/abortion-texas-lawmaker-trnd/index.html

Anarchism has only really been a thing in latin speaking countries. This is what the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist CGT is organising on March 8th.http://cgt.org.es/noticias-cgt/noticias-cgt/argumentario-de-cgt-para-la-huelga-general-del-8-de-marzohttp://cgt.org.es/rntv-29-huelga-8-de-marzoOK It's not going to bring about socialism but I sound piece of trade unionism. Not all "anarchists" are going around picking on poor defenceless rubbish bins. But of course not to paint too a rosey picture, in Spain "anarchist" responce to the catalonian situation was pretty dreadful.http://libcom.org/library/catalonian-affair-miguel-amor-s

Still, the re-introduction of the word in mainstream politics gives us a foot in the door to say what it has, does and should mean.I agree. Though you only turn people off by telling them that they are not using the "correct definition" of a word. I know that's not what you said above, but some SPGBrs certainly do do this. Defenitions are determined by groups of people through shared use. Like this guy says:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Vab1dFL-U
I think if you were banned you wouldn’t be able to log in at all. Sometimes Facebook has temporarily glitches. Try later and / or clear your browser cache.

Dragon festival it was, 2002 I think. Cigarrones was the place.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_FestivalIncidentally I was in Barcelona earlier this year, there was an exhibition in Montjuic Castle about German fascism in Barcelona. The Nazis had a strong prescence with long Nazi banners being hung across the city from 39-45 http://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/castelldemontjuic/en/activitats/exposicions/nazis-and-fascists-symbolic-occupation-barcelona-1939-1945Of course Catalonia is the region where the authorities now take the exhumation and identification of war remains most seriously.
I visited Orgiva about 15 years ago. A lot of British and other European hippies live near there on a dried up river bed, but I think that is not at El Carrizal. I had no idea about the mass grave there. Spain is second only to Cambodia in terms of victims whose remains have never been found.http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2008/10/20/%E2%80%9Cthe-dead-are-so-many-here%E2%80%9D/
Sympo wrote:In the manuscript, Marx says "its value is determined by the quantity of labour necessary to produce it." But isn't the value of those things determined by the labour it took to make them aswell?Value (not price) in Marx is determined by the amount of *abstract* socially necessary labour time necessary to reproduce a commidity at any given time. Perhaps this could be regarded as an "axiom" I'm nor sure…
Sympo wrote:Is it only part 7 that is supposed to help or does one have to the read the entire manuscript? I read 7 and 8 but it didn't help me understand things better.Part 7 is where the distinction between "labour" and "labour-power" is made.If you say the the value of a commodity is determined by the amount of labour needed to reproduce it then you would end up in a circle if we were to try to work out what the value of labour is.But the labourer doesn't sell labour. They sell thier labour-power, not their actual labour but their capacity to labour, and the value of labour-power is determined by the value of the goods needed to reproduce it.I think this helped me get a handle on it:http://www.theoryandpractice.org.uk/library/reproduction-everyday-life-fredy-perlman-1969
