  • Expropriation, exploitation, appropriation... sounds like a Marxist-economic version of delay, deny, defend.

    • Completely disagree. Delay, Deny, Defend are specifically legal tactics companies use, whiile expropriation, exploitation, and appropriation are, in Marxism, specifically two economic terms based within how one both proves and discusses the contradictions of capitalism, while appropriation is a much more widespread cultural and sociological phenomena, which in part derives from the economic base of capital markets.

      Delay, Deny, Defend is a tactic that encompasses both expropriation and exploitation, but it isn't an actual description of the economic metrics occuring and how it relates to labor-value and use-value.

      Not disagreeing that the way we use them tends to be a shibboleth.
