Apparently this really upsets people. It works super well though, because the plunger strains out all of the leaves. I will never stop doing it.

    anti-dialectical thinking comrade. The milk shakes, but that does not make it a milkshake. You have to appreciate these subtle nuances if you want to be the one true leftist like me

      Under the labour theory of value, ice cream is the metabolic product of milk. The presence of milk makes it a milkshake and dialectical reasoning would say that the temperature does not make it a different product any more than the kindness of a slavemaster makes them something other than a slavemaster. The milk-shake dialectic is comprised of the milk and the shake.

        A milkshake is not just metabolic product of milk, but a state of being of that milk. It comes into existence upon the right material conditions of temperature, preparation, and corporeal collection in a glass. We must root our analysis in the material forces, not the dogmatic ideology of immortal concepts like 'milkshake' that are somehow independent of the material reality. Yours is a revisionist concept that leads to reactionary thinking. Will we be forced to recognize such reactionary forms of metabolic milk product like foam for latte's as milkshakes? When I serve up a slice of pie with whipped cream, have I in fact served up a slice of pie with milkshake? No, to imply as much is absurd. A milkshake spilled upon the floor becomes mere spilled milk (no tears necessary), a milkshake that sits on the counter long enough becomes merely warm sweet cream. We must be comfortable with the idea of milkshake as a mere representation of the process of milk in a long and ever evolving process.

          Shaking is labour affecting the milk. It results in a state of being for milk but milk on its own is milk and shake on its own is parkinson's. It's only in their dialectical relationship that a milkshake is achieved. And yes, that does open it up. Butter is a milkshake. Cheese is a milkshake. Dulce de leche is a milkshake.
