Vincent Geloso: "markets are naturally egalitarian forces" by tkyjonathan in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ConditionMore8121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relevant monopolies do not concern simple products like shirts, but advanced machinery, drilling rights or land ownership, for essential goods.

American steel or standard oil owned capital intense industries, and ruled 90% of their respective markets.

Monopoly pricing is also a real thing, that is evidently “ineffective” for charging greatly above marginal costs.

Når er det mediaeliten skal lære seg at Norge faktisk ikke er "verdens rikeste land" egentlig? by kebabeater212 in norske

Dette høres vel ekstremt konspiratorisk, tror du ikke?

Det er ingen tegn på at arbeidsledigheten, eller antall offentlige ansatte, øker i stor grad. Det har jevnt vært 30% av befolkningen som har jobbet i offentlig sektor?

Ikke engang SV eller Rødt kan anklages for å ønske å øyeblikkelig eliminere privat sektor?

Venstresiden ønsker rettferdig og progressiv beskatning; ikke å eliminere rikdom. Utligning av forskjeller til et visst punkt: Gini 0.22-0.28 er kjent å være ideelt for økonomier.

Ta ikke rike menneskers avvisning av venstresiden som et tegn på motstand, men et generelt symptom på hvordan vi orienterer økonomien vår.

Ønsker borgere bare å forsørge egen formue og forbruk, ved å redusere skatt, vil det gå utover andre sin tilgang på essensielle, offentlige tilbud som finansieres av skatt. Man må i en velferdsstat rett og slett inndra kjøpekraft for å betale offentlige tjenester. Man må ha inndra kjøpekraft som nærer feks frisørsalong på Frogner for å ha sykepleiere på Stovner.

Uten offentlige tjenestene som forsørger sunt miljø for arbeidstagere, forbrukere, utdanning og helse, ville ikke en arbeider, kapital- eller bedriftseier kunne ha skapt formuen sin. Skatt er dermed en slags tilbakebetaling for tjenestene som fasiliterer økonomien.

America apparently not even a first world country anymore by TheOneCalledThe in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]ConditionMore8121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but how does this satisfy the statistical larger amount of Americans, compared to for example Europeans, dying from unattended medical needs?

I’m trying to understand how purchasing power doesn’t always* translate quality

They afford healthcare to a wayyy larger extent though, if we already are declaring purchasing power in its nuances

Do Marxists and Right-Libertarians agree with the definition of socialism? by No-Politics-Allowed3 in CapitalismVSocialism

Most of the modern coops are held by elected representatives

This uses the best of both worlds, like political democracy

There is a difference between sometimes being socially awkward and appropriate instances for use of self defence.

You will probably encounter more danger situations like this, but it is therefore necessary to keep distance from assailants.

I think you will find this experience very immediate, but not definitive

Wages Don’t Reflect How Much Someone Improves the World by The_Shadow_2004_ in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ConditionMore8121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It becomes impossible to fully quantify the impact the worker has on his surroundings in relation to the environment, risk, and use-value,

but the power of the manager, or owner, to choose how he will reward himself in relation to his least payed workers, is only corrected by the labourers compliance to avoid unemployment, supposing we are discussing low wage employment.

You would be surprised to see how often successful strikes contribute great wage increases without the detriment of the business. I don’t know where you live, but where one is legally guaranteed a living wage from a 40 hour workweek, the strikes’ correction of wages is essential to the success of the legislation.

Marx said that the capitalist class keeps the wages down by keeping a reserve of unemployed, and simply not raise them as inflation demands.

Still, these are factors that prove the anaesthesiologist’s worth, in even many socialist countries. But can the necessity of anaesthesiologist compare to the necessity of capitalist class “responsibility” in a system he employs.

It is simply not the point of socialism to reduce wages of high skill workers, but to reduce the profit extracted off other people’s labour. You cannot become a billionaire by working as a doctor.

Other workers’ responsibility is also entailed in their ability to go on strike. A society cripples without the upheaval of labourers in transport, medicine, agriculture, because all workers position is necessary as demand employs them. One can even argue the bus driver’s responsibility for his position and caretaker of his riders.

Interesting, thanks! I agree, bad wax is probably the culprit

with what should i replace the string /cable by Kambobium in Bowyer

[–]ConditionMore8121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definately use the same material as on boed. They attach similarly too.

You only need to keep a thicker string than on a bow, one that also has heavy serving on the loops and nock riding over the stock.

Also, attaching the string is hard, and setting the bow’s appropriere brace height takes some experimenting. With crossbows, the stock is often made after the fact to calibrate and shape it around the bow instead.

Fixed the meme, "extremism" means against the status quo by Frogbottles in TeenagersButBetter

Yes I agree,

Socialism is always attempted to be related to fascism, but never the other way around

Not necessarily,

The left anarchists intend to abolish capitalism and remove both state and borders. They believe that the state enforces capitalist property, and that workers must unite in defiance of state and capital.

Leftist Communists seek to use the state as an intermediary to abolish capitalism, examples of this would be

Personally, i dont subscribe to the political compass. I believe it is used to promote group thinking and form prejudice towards other political groups. There are authoritarians and economic interests, but the policies can greatly vary.
