Yea, it's the starting point of ludicrous, self-contradictory lunacy is what it is. Look at me substitute "A" for "butchersapron". "Butchersapron is not butchersapron". Is that true? Are you not yourself?
Eh? It isn't meant to be true. The point would be that the contradiction between Butchersapron and Not Butchersapron would create something new - Super Butchersapron. And none of us would want that.
I deny it.
It was British subjects that effectively came up with Marxist ideals long before old Karl, in all seriousness!
We Brits can take credit in part for having conceived a rudimentary system of what came to be known as Marxism, certainly in terms of the "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" principle out of sheer necessity, before Karl Marx was even born.
Any of you politicos care to take a guess at what I am referring to? I'll bet you'll never get it... but it's true!
Burke?

Good guess... but he was Irish...
In fairness to Marx, i doubt he'd have been aware of the pre-Marx marxist community... which functioned very well and still does to this day, albeit in a rather controlled manner.
Had an interesting chat with a historian about it recently, and there are plenty of peeps here I though might have their interest piqued by such a factoid...
Or coming into existence - ta.
Scotland has been part of 'great britain' since 1707?Smith was Scottish.
Or not.
Listen, if you deny the validity of the law of excluded middle, which you did up in post 54, you also deny the law of identity, since the former is a corollary of the latter. Simples.
Remind me again, how do you count when 1 is not 1?
nooo - Burke was irish!pk said he/they was/were irish?
