  1. The Excessive Subject: A new theory of social change (Rothenberg 2010)

You can't predict the economy!

  1. Unpredictable equals undetermined / A proper economic theory must respect the idea that the rules of the undetermined are themselves undetermined (Yanis Varoufakis) / Scientific knowledge of the workings of the capitalist economy and the development of a practice based on that knowledge are impossible (WSWS onto Varoufakis) [1] -> shut the pronounced censored up rothenberg. I know you're not Rothenberg but that's your name now if you go around saying stuff like that.
    ok, on the bright side though, if this is true, a proper theory of economics has to just accept that Communist revolution happened in another country purely because you couldn't control it. most of what happens in a Communist revolution isn't engineered by Stalin or Mao, so it's undetermined, right? and that means you can't place rules on whether it will happen or not. I bet you love that outcome.
  2. Unpredictable equals undetermined -> then how does anything pronounced censored happen??? this man should semi-literally be handed an "F" in physics
