Tom Steyer entered the Democratic primary with a singular advantage: the largest fortune of any 2020 candidate. It could also be his biggest liability.
one thing is for sure Tome Steyer needs a facelift he looks worse than Methuselah. STrange thin is he is a billionaire, he can afford it!!
KUWTAS
hmmm...another ultra-rich Marxist. How does he reconcile his own wealth and champion Karl Marx at the same time? Make no mistake folks, these wanna-be tyrants are trying to take down your country and they will make Stalin and Mao look like girl scouts.
Karl_exe
'Alexa, what do absolute smooth-brains say to make themselves sound like learned intellectuals to other smooth-brained peons?'
Nobody: A billionaire: why won't Karl Marx debate me? Cause he's scared.
Software development is inherently communist. Majority of software and tech is built on open source code and ideas. Even proprietary/commercial stuff.
actually that's what 'everything melts into thin air' was about, tom
Getting way too much mileage out of this gif lately.
this is such a garbage article
Tom Steyer failed to consider no one knows his name and he will be forgotten.
It's true. He was partial to thick, coarse fabrics.
Karl Marx never expected lootboxes.
This is just pathetic at this point
LOOOOL
Weird flex but ok.
So software existed in 1848.. 🤦♀️
Read before you talk
non material goods and services and information all fall under the purview of Capital volume one, exactly the sorts of things Marx considered when writing his various screeds on capitalism.
RatioAlert keep your eye on this one
'Man from 1800s does not factor 'software' into his thesis'
Marx understood the next step of information would be the freeing of it. He wrote about it.
Who cares what some billionaire says. He’ll say anything to keep his money.
Karl Marx hates Napster!
I tweeted about this before but free software is an incredible demonstration of communism in action. Linux, R etc. Also, sure, let's not put a ceiling on how high people can go. But let's definitely put in a floor for how low they can go. Well above the poverty line.
This is actually incorrect; Marx did in fact consider the potential impact of software and other future technologies
I hear billionaires are delicious.
JESUS FUCK
Lol, someone skipped Grundrisse (presumably along with literally all other non-bourgeois economics writings)
'Karl Marx failed to consider teledildonics'
sorry everyone. gotta pack it up, communism has been thoroughly debunked :( my bad
The only software in 1818 was horseshit!
Alberto Santos Dumont failed to consider multi-stage rocket technology?
He's clearly never read his letter to Engels about trying to install Windows 8
Karl Marx was Prussia's Super Mario Bros. 3 champion five years running then retired undefeated.
Yeah looking at any call center or software development company, we definitely see an end to exploitation and alienation.
'iPhones suck' - Thomas Jefferson
Karl Marx did not predict my fist
Man, Tom really nailed it with that one. Bet you anything that Karl Marx would have ripped up the drafts of all 3 volumes of Capital if someone had just given him one of those old cell phones with 'Snake' on it.
Lol
What
So profound. So deep.
Tom Steiner did not consider how ridiculous people would think that statement is.
While writing 'Wealth of Nations' Adam Smith was learning coding too and was almost successful in making his own FB.
socialism is not karl marx. just because his books from 160 years or whatever ago don't translate 1:1 to today does not mean that worker ownership of the means of production is not a moral and ecological necessity moving forward in the 21st century.
TomSteyer Stop.
yeah and the founding fathers failed to foresee a future where slavery would be abolished what's his point?
What
Epic ratio on a billionaire from la la land, only enabled by an economic system of masters and slaves. He is but a capitalist symptom and will say anything for more power. So we wait while these rough beasts slouch and keep trying to outsmart them. For we are the ones who act.
mind
but david foster wallace considered the lobster
this ratio is beautiful
“People who have never red Capital” for 1000 Trebek
Karl Marx did not account for the flourishing German leather scene
Steyer failed to consider my nuts on his chin -karlmarx
Beethoven failed to consider that totally bitchin' double guitar the dude from Cheap Trick plays.
I’m willing to bet all of his billions that he’s never read Marx. If he had, he would realize how ridiculous he just sounded 🤷🏽♂️
Go away, Tom. Nobody wants you.
We have the dumbest the billionaires lol
Capitalism failed to consider robots.
What an amazing time it is to be alive
plato failed to consider e-girl premium snapchats
Well here it is folks, proof that billionaires aren't smarter than everybody else, just more willing to follow through with their ideas, no matter how stupid.
Karl Marx didn't take gamers into account
Wow. Okay, so my Marxist analysis is amateur af, he's a bit of a slog to read, and I can point out at least five flaws in the galaxy brain bullshit he said in the *first paragraph*. This isn't going to get better, is it?
Checkmate, reds.
The Inca failed to consider kevlar
This is very, very dumb.
Read The Grundrisse
I am speechless.
'Why didn't Caesar just call people on the phone?' - Supergenius billionaire spits more hot truths
Jesus was real quiet about the printing press! Shakespeare forgot all about the automobile!
Software run on what? I'll take the bait.
Marxtradamus send twete
Who is Tam Steeter?
Tom Steyer was the fella that gone down a river on a raft?
can't believe Karl Marx is in the Dem Primary for 2020
software is partly to blame. The more efficient the machinery, the lessof us they need & the less they will pay those they do need
LEFT WING DESTROYED
Someone hasn't read Marx's 'Fragment on Machines', clearly.
Something tells me Tom hasn't read any autonomist marxists
Who the fuck is Tom Steyer?
Neither did the writers of the constitution
It's hard to take someone seriously who has amassed billions through globalized corprate hegemony, abusing & taking advantage of millions of impoverished people, & profiting from fossil fuels. So now he's a philanthropist, found a conscience, & become a climate change activist.
Tom Steyer failed to consider deez nuts.
Alexander the Great failed to consider cars
Wild that Marx was so right about capitalism that his detractors' main argument with him is 'but he wasn't a literal wizard'
Steyer failed to consider voters.
Translation: yeah, I think inequality is a big problem. No, I'm not going to do anything to solve it.
What? How does software fix any of the mess the Billionaires (you) and Millionaires have made? TomSteyer
Oh man, WTF, I’m a capitalist now
Tom Steyer failed to consider food replicators.
Also failed to consider starving millions of people to death.
He would literally just call it fixed capital. Which it is.
Lmfao. Yeah, it makes his arguments even more valid.
Karl Marx was wrong about tech (he wasn't) but you know who could foresee the future, some old slave owners writing a constitution for more slave owners - me a brain genius
Ah, now I finally know what's been bugging me about Das Kapital all these years.
Johnny Mnemonic remake but it’s just Keanu Reeves playing Karl Marx playing Johnny Mnemonic.
Bruh
Lol
What the fuck?
“Tom Steyer failed to consider any of Marx’s writings”
Karl Marx should’ve released the communist manifesto on twitter and titled it Abolishing Private Property: A THREAD and had the first three tweets be about the importance of drinking water
checkmate marxists 😏
Software doesn't grow our food
Just more evidence that intelligence isn’t required to be part of the ultra rich
Dialetik_natur vamos ver no MEGA
Live footage of this thought leaving his brain
billionaires are soooo smart!
Neoliberal horseshit
Literally who?
He should really drop out & read a book.
Historical opponent and target of marxism explains why he hates marxism, news at 11
*scoffing shitlib-ishly* this karl marx guy cant even code?
wow big smart boy over here saying some truly insightful stuff
Lmao
Tom Steyer failed to consider that no one is going to vote for him
What is software (in an economic sense) but a means of production? It is technology replacing human labor that is cheap to produce and even cheaper to copy. It is exactly the kind of thing communism revolves around. Communism just means making everything open source.
Adam smith failed to consider walmart
'coral marks'? which stem program did SHE graduate from?
Tom Steyer failed to read Marx
Oh this is that billionaire running for president lol
david_flood Sure about that: 'Karl Marx was a fan of Babbage’s writings on mechanization'
Lmao
lmao
Quotes a billionaire on inequality...
Wow bad look for Karl Marx let's see how he responds.
Karl Marx on suicide watch
There's a chance he probably drank raw water too, so he was already ahead of the game
Dumb af
going back in time dressed in a clippy costume to correct Marx's spelling, hopefully communsim will win after that
Hang on hold up a second, did you refer to three african-american singer-songwriters as coming from 'villages?'
Shalmolih A stinging critique of your hero.
Karl Marx was 1000x smarter than Tom Steyer could ever hope to be. Marx made prescient, predictive philosophy that is still widely discussed long after his death. People will probably remember Tom Steyer for, max, 50 years after he kicks it.
Genghis Khan didn't know about automatic weapons lmao
Ok? The Founding Fathers failed to consider plumbing and sewage but you yokels still venerate them.
Estranged Labour, 1844
Karl Marx was a fucking gamer and you know it
'What Engels failed to appreciate was the importance of blockchain'
What is the charitable interpretation of this utterance? The article makes it sound apropos of nothing, and I 100% don't get the point. Karl Marx didn't consider software, therefore communism is incorrect…? I think that argument is missing a few logical steps…
what if we turned capitalism off and then turned it on again
Sounds like a question for thesamstark
'Material conditions? What about *immaterial* conditions?'
'Hold the Fortran!' - Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman 1864
Billionaire Tom Steyer failed to consider that he could do infinitely more good by spending $100 million on voter registration programs instead of a vanity presidential run
The impact of automation and technology was actually a significant strand in Marx’s work
lmao oh wow i guess we communists will have to re-evaluate EVERYTHING.
Karl marx lived in the 1800s
Is this a fucking joke
Marx DESTROYED by FACTS and LOGIC
Silicon Valley illustrates Marx's vision of capitalism lurching from crisis to crisis pretty well.
wtf . . .
Unlike Adam Smith, a noted proponent of blockchain
cites Michael Jackson as someone who should keep their money
I hope Karl sees this bruh
Astonishing levels of ignorance.
Um, read Fragment on the Machines you absolute....
Billionaire Tom Steyer has failed to consider that he sucks and should go away
Right after we send lawyers to the bottom of the ocean, we need to have tech executives join them.
'billionaire willingly blind to marx's ideas about commodities.'
Karl marx get ipad
Lincoln may have freed the slaves but he never thought to imagine bootleg Simpsons porn
No, he didn’t. A company’s profits come from the surplus labor value of the workers, who, because they aren’t getting that value, have less buying power than the company has producing power. Therefore, as profits fall, companies look to invest in cheaper means of production (1)
what if karl get ipad
😂😂😂
y'all sleeping on stallman
You mean those things that let companies squeeze increasing productivity for declining wages out of the workforce? They're called machines dimwit.
He kind of did, tho.
Much to think about
Ok steyer youre first at the guillotine for thus dumbassery
Read Marx’s Fragment on Machines
nobody is considering tom steyer
Marx didn't have a Facebook profile. Game, set, and match.
Who is Tom, did he make MySpace.
Marx failed to consider software, also I've actually never read marx.
Is this discourse
'Once adopted into the production process of capital, the means of labour passes through different metamorphoses, whose culmination is the… automatic system of machinery… set in motion by an automaton, a moving power that moves itself; ...' 1/
The word you may want to look up is 'digital labor'. Marxist theories have numerous shortcomings but they do explain rather well the economics of contemporary software and machine learning (w/ wide outsourcing to ill-paid microworkers from developing countries).
Checkmate commies let’s pack it up
karl marx works flexibly trading bitcoin
Booo!
bless your heart, ya tried.
Karl Marx forgot about IOS!1!1!1!1! Get rekt Marxist
We all know that if there's anything Karl overlooked, it was how advancing technologies would allow fewer people to produce more things faster! He certainly never thought about the heightening contradictions between changing modes of production and the old social order
Stupid.
What an extremely stupid thing to say
Marx failed to predict i would willingly spend all my capital investing in egirl bath water
Tom Steyer failed to consider that we hate him
Quotes from people who have never read Marx volume one
i'm into this because a: the artists are the ones producing the value with their labor but also incidentally b: much of their wealth comes from merchandising and branded goods which are produced by good ol fashioned brutally exploited textile labor
“With software you have an ability to reproduce that song infinitely at very low cost around the world.” What is this magic software? Is it like a vinyl record?
Tom Steyer didn’t consider bofa
... inequality has increased with the Advent if software. How many billionaires are in the software business?
Julius Caesar failed to consider the jet engine.
Software is just a way to implement a machine lmao I think Steyer actually knows this but he is betting voters are too dumb to understand
Plzzz, I can;t feed my family... I need... Slack
Anti-communism? There's an app for that
This is positively dumb as hell.
Karl Marx - Father of Communism who was not on Facebook or Twitter.
Lol
Steyer: 'because i'm an idiot, i assume Marx must have been an idiot also'
Except he totally did.
ahh, A Braine Genious
FYI
slandersonn “Karl Marx failed to consider software” dude lmao
Karl Marx did not predict the deep pervasive and cold emptiness dominating the authors life
I suppose he has not read Fragments on Machines from Marx's Grundrisse.
No, he didn’t. 1.Private property in the means of production 2.Contradictions between the level of technology vs organization of society and economy 3.Class conflicts, production becomes unsustainable, bourgeoisie overthrown by revolution. We are, now, in the 3rd stage, you fool.
Big, if true
If only Marx had come up with a theory of value that could explain this.
Suppose he he didn't read the bit where Marx wrote “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their blockchains' either...
Lol
Karl Marx also didn’t predict deez nuts
apparently software is not produced by labor
ManharManchanda
he also didn't consider anime. Makes you think
This shows what a weak candidate Trump is. All of these democrats and billionaires running to defeat Bernie. Scared of his message, his support.
OOOOOHHHHH KARL MARX TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE PLEASE
liastefo lmfao
The Fragment on Machines (Marx 1858)
Karl Marx, is he the guy who founded apple with the Steves?
Marx was actually an idiot because he didn’t take the internet and Lil NasX’s ability to reach a large audience with computers into account while writing Das Kapital. VOTE FOR ME!!! - Tom
John Maynard Keynes failed to consider chaturbate
Karl Marx failed to predict that my dad would never return after going to the gas station for cigs
i really hope the billionaires don't start reading Marx, that would suck and be dangerous
Trying to out dumbass Joe Biden is a real power move. Let's see how it works out.
It's like a Hbomberguy satire. But it's real. Liberals...
“What Karl Marx failed to take into consideration was – that if you are... Beyoncé or anyone producing an idea with software … you have an ability to reproduce that song infinitely at very low cost around the world.”
So did Thomas Jefferson.
PLATO DIDNT CONSIDER MINECRAFT CHECKMATE PHILOSOPHERS
‘Karl Marx failed to consider Neopets’- Tom Steyer
that is incorrect but okay
Ehhhh he basically did
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Billionaires never help pay for maintenance on free software more than they have to (almost zero)
Big if true
'Communism doesn't work' Says *checks notes* billionaire.
*~_+ReAlLy MaKeS yOu ThInK+_~*
When Pinochet's military overthrew the Chilean government 30 years ago, they discovered a revolutionary communication system, a 'socialist internet' connecting the whole country.
Can’t wait to point out to the next person who quotes Sun Tzu at me that that dude didn’t know shit about anime
'Napoleon, a complete dullard, had not even fathomed the idea of simply using an F-22 at Waterloo. What a dipshit. Please vote for me, I will use so many F-22s at my Waterloo.'
Yeah, software keeps people from being alienated from their job. Nailed it.
Right! We can all just eat software! Make this guy president!
Actually, he didn't. Marx wrote extensively on automation and technology.
what a dumb fucking rich guy
Plato never considered the fucking pterodactyl see I'm smart too
Learn code
What a tool. Marx spends a considerable amount of time talking about softwares, he talks about linen for like 150 pages of Capital.
karl marx did not predict that my wife would leave with the kids
I, too, forgot the part of Capital where the efficiency of labor is said to approach a limit toward being nearly infinite as technology increases, and I also forgot how this doesn't only fail to solve the capitalist crisis, but rather exacerbates it, hmm
Except he kinda did, considering the whole communism thing is a response to industrialization and the inevitability of automation
someone hasn’t read the Grundrisse
Yeah well Hayek failed to consider catgirls
Karl Marx is increasingly looking like an 8bit figure in a 4k world.
my guy puts his brain in a nice vat of bleach every night when he goes to sleep
Good thing software doesn't require any physical products to exist
Unlike David Ricardo who foresaw everything and was 100% correct
Marx failed to predict the Avengers movie franchise. Clearly his entire critique of capitalism is flawed and we should elect Bill Gates as emperor. I have the biggest, wettest brain.
Hey MichaelShindler
This is the perfect encapsulation of liberalism
Well actually
'Steyer failed to consider his own irrelevance.' - Nostradamus, 3rd quatrain.
wait what
Adam Smith was using Blickchain.
Wow, you’ve got my vote!
no he didn't
who
Lol. This is pretty close to 'let them eat cake' levels of privilege.
so true
Have you considered opening task manager and ending the 'inequality' task?
Fragment on machines much?
Has he ever read Marxs machine segment?
wowow!! Carl Marks was a TOTAL FREAKIN' IDIOT compared to me (a Software Considerer )
Ahahaha, what the actual fuck? Remember that time the dotcom bubble burst was the precursor to the 2008 recession?
hahahahah Ha hahaha Hahahaa Hahaha
I think he may be confusing Karl Marx & Nostradamus.
Bob Dylan didn't account for drum machines
wut
Wow, this is the stupidest thing I've seen on twitter today. And that's saying something.
...Good observation. Waiting for Karl’s response.
wtf? this doesn't make any sense at all
In awe of MY future President's massive brain, which he has filled with one giant word: COMPUTERS
And Tesla never considered the iPad, or something equally stupid and nonsensical
Thing is he did but so few people go beyond the boogy man to know
Or vibrating dildos.
Adam Smith did not foresee the radicalization of the populace via Twitter so who can really tell
Pretty damning Karl... any response? Oh, you've been dead for almost a hundred and forty years... how convenient.
He knows that musicians make almost no money on music sales anymore, right? Making money on music in 2019 requires doing performances. Big performances require capital.
Ah, Software, hard to ignore in the 1800's.
Tom Steyer failed to consider the guillotine he’s gonna get
Karl Marx wasn't a software engineer, checkmate leftists
This might be dumber than anything the coffee guy said
Damn, now I gotta go reconsider my entire life...
Karl Marx failed.
Absolutely in awe at the level of potato brain going on here
marx's theories fall apart when you consider, um computers and stuff
Karl Marx didn't give a fuck about inequality. Marxism is not about equality at all, but about destroying the class relationship driven by the existence of capital and its need to self valorize.
This banana makes AOC look smart
Well I did my best !
Intellectual property is still property, and still theft
Au contraire!
Can you really fail to consider something that doesn't exist yet? 'Thomas Piketty failed to consider teleportation...'
Bringing up 19th century philosophers to create a bit of a buzz?
Thankfully you, Tom Stryker, are so much more intelligent 130-odd years after his death 🙄
