But it's not easy to make a pot to piss in from the useless crap that is "Das Kapital".
I can, however direct you to Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk's "Karl Marx and the Close of His System"

Only in a legal framework that is paralyzed by the threat of "antitrust" lawsuits could this be in any way acceptable:
They're actually not allowed to talk to each other.
It's all completely schizophrenic. Springboards for exploitative practices are erected under the name of stopping exploitative practices. It's almost as if there was lobbying by a large pack of wolves, flimlamming the interventionistic do-gooders. Then band-aids like "consumer protection laws" are put onto festering wounds. Which are then made harmless by lawfare.
Please stop pushing white guilt.
"Thanksgiving" has nothing to do with "subjugation of anything". It commemorates the amazing finding that settlers in a command and control "equal sharing" economy nearly croak because everyone is waiting for everyone else to do the work, while giving the settlers the permission to actually sell what they produce puts corn on the table (The stuck-up radicals of Plymouth colony managed to go "somewhat free market" while Jamestown didn't get the message and continued to wallow in destitution and Chavez-style decrepitude).
It also used to be a celebration followed at the discretion of the various states until Lincoln decided to make it another matter of Big State to enliven the civil war wreckage with a bit of Joyful Führermessage.

... the "The Heimlich Counter-Manoeuver", which, being tier 1 of Aperture Science's research and development program, consists in "A reliable technique for interrupting the life-saving Heimlich Manoeuver."
Lads, I got stung by a mosquito on the ankle once, pustule opened up, got foot infection and amazingly LARGE and PAINFUL swelling, doc pumped me full of antibiotics which the bacterium just laughed at, luckily the reserve antibiotic worked, out of order for a week, then got a reduced bill because of "free healthcare" (but I'm ok with that). Dodged a bullet there.
Don't go outside, Nature wants to KILL YOU!
> heliostationary polar orbit above the sun.
Such an orbit does not exist and the only one to go "Sun poles" was Ulysses and that took a lot of slingshotting and was over fast.
At The Mission, we read:
STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is the third mission in NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes program (STP). The mission, launched in October 2006, has provided a unique and revolutionary view of the Sun-Earth System. The two nearly identical observatories - one ahead of Earth in its orbit, the other trailing behind - have traced the flow of energy and matter from the Sun to Earth. STEREO has revealed the 3D structure of coronal mass ejections; violent eruptions of matter from the sun that can disrupt satellites and power grids, and help us understand why they happen. STEREO is a key addition to the fleet of space weather detection satellites by providing more accurate alerts for the arrival time of Earth-directed solar ejections with its unique side-viewing perspective.
So we have two sats, at 1 AU (i.e. Earth) orbit, and I would bet at the Lagrange Points.
The Jimbo's Horde page has a nice explanation, which leads to this picture of the STEREO's pair current location. So not at the Lagrange points.
To think that the budget for this probably had to be horse-traded over.

Unions: Reluctant because "MUH JOBS OUTSOURCED!!"
Greens: Reluctant because "MUH ENVIRONMENT DESTROYED!!"
Anti-globalist cretins: Reluctant because "MUH EXPLOITATION OF DA POOR WORSENED!!"
Anti-capitalists: "MUH POWA OF MULTINATIONALS INCREASED!"
Mercantilists: "MUH TRADE BARRIERS REDUCED!"
Nanny staters: "MUH HOMELAND QUALITY CONTROL!!!"
Marxists: "ISN'T ECONOMICS A ZERO-SUM GAME??"
The Fletcher Memorial Home still accepts applicants.

"If Russia & China are tapping Merkel's calls in Germany, they've gotta be doing the same to politicians in the US. The smartphones that members of Congress use to to call, tweet (and in some cases, sext)? They are no more secure than Merkel's"
Gee, you think? I always wondered how come so many representatives are ready to defend Israel to the last US marine or keep shtum at appropriate moments. Carrots in unlabeled envelopes, sure. But the stick goes a long way, too.
