Marxism is based in large part on three influences: Hegel's dialectics, French utopian socialism and English economics.
Fat wolves and stupid sheep
To arrive at his retrodiagnosis Shuster considered the primary material: the Marx correspondence published in the 50 volumes of the Marx/Engels Collected works. There, "although the skin lesions were called 'furuncules', 'boils' and 'carbuncles' by Marx, his wife and his physicians, they were too persistent, recurrent, destructive and site-specific for that diagnosis". The sites of the persistent 'carbuncles' were noted repeatedly in the armpits, groins, perianal, genital (penis and scrotum) and suprapubic regions and inner thighs, "favoured sites of hidradenitis suppurativa". Professor Shuster claimed the diagnosis "can now be made definitively".

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

Shuster went on to consider the potential psychosocial effects of the disease, noting that the skin is an organ of communication, and that hidradenitis suppurativa produces much psychological distress, including loathing and disgust, and depression of self-image, mood and well-being; feelings for which Shuster found "much evidence" in the Marx correspondence. Professor Shuster went on to ask himself whether the mental effects of the disease affected Marx's work, and even helped him to develop his theory of alienation
To the thinking today it was Sismondi's work picked apart in the so called French Café intellectual's purview as the alleged agent's of change soundly ignored in the States until 1963.

Marx considered Sismondi, alongside Ricardo, to be the last of the classical economists. According to Marx, after Ricardo and Sismondi there was only vulgar economics on the one hand and a socialist critique of political economy on the other. A useful introduction to Sismondi can be found in A HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT by I.I. Rubin (Chapter 37 Sismondi as a Critic of Capitalism, pp 335-346 Pluto Press1980) and in Rosa Luxemburg’s THE ACCUMULATION OF CAPITAL Section II, ch. 10-15 pp 145-194, 1913).

Apparently, there is no English translation of Sismondi’s Nouveaux Principes d’economie Politique (1819) although a selection of his writings can be found in POLITICAL ECONOMY AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERNMENT; A SERIES OF ESSAYS SELECTED FROM THE WORKS OF M. DE SISMONDI WITH AN HISTORICAL NOTICE OF HIS LIFE AND WRITINGS by M. Mignet (London: John Chapman, 1847). The free market on-line Library of Liberty has a collection of Sismondi’s works from the aforementioned publication.

Today, about 55,000 criminal aliens account for more than one-fourth of prisoners in Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities, and there are about 297,000 criminal aliens incarcerated in state and local prisons.

In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society" accept their demands.
The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven's early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. "Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1971 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.
Migrants are the 5th column to bring Western civilization to its knees and all know it.
When America would not let Grandfather legally in a century ago since he was white western European, the Canadians did as a legal immigrant and then later about 5 years or so he came to the States. During that time he went back to Europe as he saved money to get my Grandmother out since the climate was already toxic and He feared what was to be. Many died, Grandmother was orphaned. He went back for Her.
The labour wars lasted 4 years. In 1922, when the company introduced a one-third reduction in wages, the coal miners responded by restricting output at the pits and reducing production by one-third.
In the end the British Empire Steel Corp was chastised by a royal commission in 1926 for its unenlightened labour policies and subsequently collapsed into bankruptcy.
Coal shortened his life to be blunt as we know and knew that also. In the States he applied his carpenter skills from European apprenticeships.
The Emergency Quota Act, also known as the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921, the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, the Per Centum Law, and the Johnson Quota Act (ch. 8, 42 Stat. 5 of May 19, 1921) restricted immigration into the United States. Although intended as temporary legislation, the Act "proved in the long run the most important turning-point in American immigration policy" because it added two new features to American immigration law: numerical limits on immigration and the use of a quota system for establishing those limits. These limits came to be known as the National Origins Formula.

Money Creators (1935) by Gertrude Coogan, p. 329
"Debt, particularly international debt, is the first and over-mastering grip. Through it men in high places are suborned, and alien powers and influences are introduced into the body politic. When the debt grip has been firmly established, control of every form of publicity and political activity soon follows, together with a full grip on industrialists."

...the same word would be used if the judgment extended to all large bodies of water...

It was passed to help treat our poisoned water and tunnel to remove the oil line...
50 million may be toxic water as we clean it up other issues...
we suffered over 800,000 toxic oil spill the largest in history recently...
it was written to them telemetry will fail... it was ignored

The seven sided stone was relayed. Few see.

“the angel of the waters” deliver a justification of God for this judgment. The angel is apparently a holy angel who has some jurisdiction over water. There is a remarkable variety of ministries assigned to angels as recorded in Revelation. The angel declares that because men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, God is righteous in judging them in kind in that they are given blood to drink.

We are passing the third seal some may orwill contend. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Christ's sufferings, especially his agonies in the garden and on the cross, when he endured unspeakable anguish till Divine justice was fully satisfied. Smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. This passage our Lord Jesus declares was fulfilled, when all his disciples, in the night wherein he was betrayed, forsook him and fled. It has, and shall have its accomplishment, in the destruction of the corrupt and hypocritical part of the professed church. Zechariah 13:7

There is greater disparity in buy-side technology practices than anywhere else in the finance industry, ranging from end-user computing through to co-located high-frequency trading apparatus.

Buy side is insane since the feed back loop is instability. The cracks we mentioned are the risk pool of the cracked mud of the searing. The evaporation process just like the dead rainforests study who removed test zoned matter which allowed the existing fauna to dry out and cease to survive.
Infrastructure is being priced without a premium bid to survive the transition we are actually in. The scaling mindset already murdered itself.
We watched the process over four decades. Granted another two billion are on the way if you accept it or not we read. The locusts cannot even plant tomatoes never mind two mules and forty acres. They crushed the four hundred acre farm which over produced that feed the world with ideas also. That died locally as 1968 recession to 1972 in the regional carnage. As we know the steam engine eliminated slaves it is that simple to model the debt curves as deficit. The plantation biscuit eaters you call crackers barely survived the democrats then to the cotton cartels that over produced in egypt and indian cotton for the looms which gave rise to effects called the shipping lines later the cecil rhodes railroad cartels to the spillover monarchies alluded to as civilization painful process. Now we just map from satellite imagery the the ancient corridors and the mineral signatures to the ore production from sea faring incidents. Trade was never the issue avarice is. They allowed the cartels the proverbial neo red seal to rebuild, reshift capital markets at our expense in sickening hubris and collaboration as Mises conveyed as the middle men that now proffer deceptions and millions in interments camps in asia. The Office is infected with over four decades of self aggrandizement in avarice and now sedition to entanglements. No one targeted trade trade as evil they targeted us in treasonounce deceptions unpunished. Balance is sanity of thinking in limits as the taxpayer is adulterated and garnered as another second citizen grain colony to this mind numbing abrogated and arrogated entitlement in the ships of deceptions.
The actual view is still ignored as they slaughtered them in the millions for the harvest they embraced then to the very pits of Hell as told of in Lazarus. We told them the ancient evil and we fostered the league of nations not to cure but admit compromise had a view only.
Other have suggested the disease of certain and the United Nations serves nothing with a handful of deserving souls needed elsewhere with free nations now, not tomorrow. Burden of deception as the first seal witnesses in burning clarity as we get our House in order. The message is clear and so is the seal. We read what the CFR tossed at two simple issues. No clearer signal could ever be sent to the actual condition and hour we are in.

Some years back we noted the facts on the point they will get no rain since the biodiversity effect was fading
so it could not rain. It tool four decades and some contend they cannot recover now in a few zones.
Talking points matters nothing since the locusts will simply move.
As the litmus test facts presents itself the best chance we have is water since it is a solvent for production needs
in critical infractures in very survival now.
As we told you Mother Nature is the most cruel mistress. Currently our early and bitter cold was already seen for cycle 24.

This is a very interesting response, because it raises a number of
questions and issues.

• "be able to afford to ... trade on micro scales ... rather
  than ... the big picture." -- What this says to me is that there
  are two different sets of rules for making trades, which I might call
  "micro trades" and "big picture trades." You switched from the second
  one to the first one. Which set of rules do Tudor and the other bots
  use?
• "Decades of prior market experience did not prepare me for that
  unique environment [2012-13]. Centuries probably would not have."
  -- This is extremely peculiar. Why are you doing well in today's
  market environment? Are you saying that today's environment is not
  unique, and therefore you're prepared for it?
  
  What I believe is the case is that today's market environment is also
  unique, but you did well at it because you learned from previous
  experiences, including 2012-13, and you also learned how to adapt your
  lessons from one unique environment to the next.
• "If AI really was powerful, it should be learning orders of
  magnitude faster than a human, both from actual trading experience and
  market history." -- I think I've said something similar in the
  past, but in fact there's no reason to believe this is true. The AI
  bots can't learn about new market environments any faster than the
  market environments themselves appear. You say that centuries of
  study would not have prepared you for the 2012-13 market environment,
  but that would also be true for a bot. In other words, the limiting
  factor is not computing speed. The limiting factor is the speed with
  which market environments change, so that a bot can't learn new
  environments any faster than a human can.
• "I do believe, though, that AI could beat me in a
  self-contained game like chess or go no matter how hard I tried or how
  long I studied the game." -- There are significant differences in
  algorithms for winning at checkers, chess and go.
  
  Checkers. A computer became world checkers champion in
  1960. The algorithm trained itself by playing games with itself and
  creating a database of all possible checkers positions, along with the
  best move in each position.
  
  Chess. The database approach could not work for chess
  (except for evaluating endgames) because there are too many possible
  positions. Instead, the crucial software component is the "position
  evaluator." This takes a chess board position as input, and produces
  a number representing the value of the position (e.g., 0=position
  even, 100=white is winning, -100=black is winning). It works by a
  counting up material (pieces, pawns) on each side, piece development,
  king position, and so forth. It's a static evaluation, but it becomes
  dynamic when used with a minimax algorithm that produces a tree of
  possible moves and responses.
  
  Go. The problem with go is that there's no simple
  position evaluator that can be plugged into a minimax algorithm that
  provides a reliable value for a board position. A good go player has
  to develop an intuitive feel for how good a position is, based on
  having played similar positions before, but also being able to
  recognize what makes the current board position uniquely different
  from "similar" board positions. The AlphaGo algorithm developed this
  intuition by playing quadrillions of games against itself.
  
  Trading. The difference between go and trading is not
  that go is fixed and trading is not. In fact, trading is also fixed,
  since trades follow very explicit rules. In trading, the "board
  position" is the same as the "market environment." The difference
  with go is that there's no way for a trading bot to play quadrillions
  of games (trades) against itself to develop intuition. The bot has to
  wait for each new market environment to occur because it can learn
  from it -- same as a human.

I've said in the past that an AI bot should be able to analyze the
history of previous market trades globally and develop the intuition
that way. But that's clearly not true. The current market
environment is much more than the sum of historical trades. Just as
each go position is unique in its own way, each market environment is
unique in its own way. And the market environment right now is
different from the market environment a minute ago.

So now compare the training that a human goes through versus what a
bot goes through. Both the human and the bot can only learn as
quickly as the market environment changes, so the computing power of
the bot doesn't help there.

The difference that computing power makes is in the number of
variables that can be monitored. Intuition (evaluating a market
environment) depends on determining the important variables, and
understanding how they affect trades. A bot cannot learn any faster
than a human, but when it does learn, it learns a lot more.

So I would summarize this as follows: You've been through years of
experience with different market environments, and you've developed
the intuition that lets you apply old lessons to the current
situation. The Tudor bot has less than a year of experience, and has
seen only a small fraction of the number of market environments that
you have. But as it sees more and more market environments, and as it
learns much more from each market environment than a human can, I
would expect Tudor and other advanced bots to become "world
champions," just as bots have become world champions at checkers,
chess and go.

[Higgenbotham]

Which set of rules do Tudor and the other bots use?

The bots are very short term. I am competing directly against the bots. Many systems used rules based trading, but I do not.

Are you saying that today's environment is not unique, and therefore you're prepared for it?

Today's market is unique, but it is similar enough to past markets that I am prepared for it.

The Tudor bot has less than a year of experience, and has seen only a small fraction of the number of market environments that you have. But as it sees more and more market environments, and as it learns much more from each market environment than a human can, I would expect Tudor and other advanced bots to become "world champions," just as bots have become world champions at checkers, chess and go.

Even if that were possible, I expect the markets will cease to exist in their current form before that happens.

There's another way to look at this with regard to my trading situation.

At the moment, my trading has me about even since S&P 1600 (I lost money trading between S&P 1300 and 1600 that has not yet been recouped). The S&P is currently at 2700 or thereabouts. Being a bear who believes the market is going to zero, I have not lost any money trading on net the last 1100 points up. By the time the S&P gets back to 1600, if it does, I will be up massively.

I am happy to hear that. The mission was what you can keep after taxes. They want that also and the timeline stands to what
they have taken to date to insult the working people. I was acutely aware in 1986 and from 1993 to 1996 first hand decompiling the
thieves at work on our servers. Yea we called the FBI and later ATT with sysco routers with the fiber project and sold out. I could no longer protect the base. The democrats are the lowest life form that exists. I learned both side of the isle are a pox and the red seals know they are dumb asses as the corporate sector spoon feeds the intel community and then they have the balls to call facts on surveillance of citizens now called a data center staffed by the magic underwear cult out west. Meanwhile Jezebel of the hardware swamp cult sells the code to the red seal cult with a subsidiary from the Foundation.
