To be fair, this thread didn't start that way.

They never do.

We've talked about it already you just don't want to acknowledge the Democrats' socialist agenda because you know it's going to lose the election for them.

You talked about it? No you haven’t. You’ve spewed right wing talking points the way you always do.

You've been given a direct link to Warren's socialist proposals. You refused to read them. So why don't you stick your head back in the sand and STFU.

Willful ignorance must be a side effect of your Trump derangement syndrome.

Step up and defend your ideological honor, @rickyb !!! LOL

marx is the most quoted philosopher in the world and he was right about many thing and wrong about some things too.

 

[rickyb]

I've gotten close to doing that. Was all @rickyb 's fault.

And maybe @542thruNthru 's at times too.

you eat too much canola oil

richard wolff doesnt consider her a socialist. says shes reforming capitalism/.

Who gives a ?

Communists like Richard Wolff need to have their heads bashed in for pushing a political agenda that is responsible for the deaths of millions.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Western mathematics do promote imperialism and oppression...

When did he say that?

how many dead because of US political agenda?

 

[rickyb]

When did he say that?

it was in a tweet. i read some socialist mag review of lizzy, shes definitely to teh right of sanders and sanders really watered down his initial campaign back in 2016 when he first proposed worker control of industry.

It's pretty funny watching Warren stand beside openly socialist Bernie pushing the exact same ideas while she claims she is a capitalist.

How many stupid questions do you ask everyday?

Yep, they're the same. She's just smarter than Bernie about what she says or does not say in an attempt to remain electable nationally.

Myths, Lies, and Truths

Purely Eurocentric origins of mathematics can no longer be upheld. The oldest (35,000 BC) mathematical object was found in Swaziland. The oldest example of arithmetic (6000 BC) was found in Zaire.The 4000 year old, so-called Moscow papyrus, contains geometry, from the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the consequence of the formula for the volume of a truncated square pyramid. From Herodotus (~450 BC) to Proclus (~400 BC) to Aristotle (~350 BC), Egypt was the cradle of mathematics (astronomy and surveying too). From the earliest, the great Greek mathematicians, including Pythagoras (~500 BC), Thales (~530 BC), and Exodus (the teacher of Aristotle) all learned much of their mathematics from Egypt (Mesopotamia, and possibily India) - even the concept of zero.

It is true that a zero placeholder was not used (or needed) in the Egyptian hieroglyphic or hieratic numerals because these numerals did not have positional value. But the zero concept has many other applications.

Generalizations about the area of a circle or the volume of a truncated square pyramid are most evident in Egyptian mathematics. Checking the correctness of a division by a subsequent multiplication or verifying the solutions of different types of equation by the method of substitution are found from a time before the Greeks "existed." A method, in common use in Europe until the 19th century, for solving linear equations is generally known as the method of false position. This method was in common use to solve practical practical problems such as finding the potency of beer or optimal feed mixtures for cattle and poultry in Egyptian mathematics.

A century before U.S. slavery was ended, slaves and even ordinary African slave traders demonstrated mathematical abilities more sophisticated than the European buyers.

Some 250 years prior to Newton and Liebnitz, a 15th century Indian mathematician, Madhava of Kerala, derived infinite series forand for some trigonometric functions

While great and true let's be honest, most Nobel prize winners come out of Europe and North America. Many are Jewish. Everything that went before added layers of understanding. Today's scientists, mathematicians, etc are achieving things they couldn't fathom in the 15th Century but who's groundwork laid the foundation for it all.

How many stupid questions do you ask everyday?

answer: in the 10s of millions. could be hundreds of millions dead and billions affected.

Wrong

first part is definitely right, same with last part, 100s of millions dead is questionable.
