      political science degree

      Imagine boasting about having a degree in modern-day phrenology.

      You see, this graph shows the Slavic brainpan cannot comprehend liberal institutions …

      you have someone with a political science degree and a minor in econ

      Not even trying to dunk, just realize that this is not impressive, and certainly not authoritative. When someone questions your expertise the two acceptable responses are:

      1. Yes, I am an actual expert, with extensive schooling and/or relevant work experience.
      2. I’m not claiming to be an expert, but here’s where I’m getting my information, where are you getting yours?

      Nah you have someone with a political science degree and a minor in econ. I have talked to many people who seem to have no formal education in the listed fields and refer back to things like breadtube as a valid source.

      So the two most “priesthood class of capital” useless degrees lol.

      Read Capital, the economics you’ve learned still haven’t grappled with it successfully.

      Edit: you claim to have read Marx. Please, tell me how automation connects to the tendency of the rate of profit to drop according to Marx. It’s one of the core parts of his analysis so it should be easy to remember.

      The DPRK is socialist and not a hereditary autocracy. It has been the consistent direction of the head of the executive branch to diffuse authority to other offices, but nearly everything you have ever heard about this country was a lie.

          It literally has handed power down from father to son twice.

          It has had sons win elections and then hold the office twice. We can call it dynastic in a sense similar to US political dynasties, but that’s different from being literally hereditary.

          As the citizens cannot advocate for a change in leaders, a change in direction of the party or an entirely new political system

        The only field more embarrassing than PoliSci is arguably EvoPsych, with the caveat that most academics don’t consider EvoPscyh to be a real field.
