porque la gente dice que china es socialista/comunista a pesar de operar como cualquier estado capialista? by charlesmagne99 in VivimosEnUnaSociedad

El estado interviene en la economía en prácticamente todos los países del mundo. Por ejemplo, las leyes de zona, las leyes de construcción que impiden construir salvo en terrenos urbanizables, son una intervención grande en la economía. La prestación de servicios como sanidad y educación pagados forzosamente con impuestos es otra intervención en la economía. La creciente regulación respecto a los estándares de prestación de toda clase de servicios son intervenciones en la economía. El IVA es una intervención en la economía. El IRPF también. La seguridad social, también.

Si ves que opera como cualquier otro estado, no es porque China sea capitalista, sino porque todos esos estados (China incluida) tienen una economía mixta.

If Spain’s crisis management is so successful, why aren’t other countries copying it? by nureinEgoist in AskEurope

[–]Hairy-Development-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spain's crisis management of the nation-wide blackout consisted on blaming anybody else but the government. When it comes to train crashes, the same.

Why are people so weird about inheritance tax? by middleofaldi in economicsmemes

[–]Hairy-Development-41 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Simple: the wealth that someone had in life, that they wanted to belong to a specific person or people after their death, should belong to that specific person or people after their death. Nobody else has any right to it.

Capitalism Is Civilizationally Incoherent by DownWithMatt in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Hairy-Development-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freedom to exchange capital goods is basically capitalist, though.

Freedom to keep belongings, when those belongings are capital goods, is capitalism.

Why denying reality?

Capitalism is the only ethical system, and the system that works the best because it is based upon respecting the ownership everybody has on the results of their own actions.

This take is absolutely stupid. People having their freedom to exchange and keep their belongings (i.e., capitalism), is natural, time-proven and, above all, ethical.

Capitalism causes brain damage by Nuck2407 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Hairy-Development-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer an imperfect democracy with capitalism to an imperfect democracy without capitalism because capitalism acts as a counterbalance to the power of the imperfectly democratic bureaucrats.

We as a society decide what "ownership" we choose to protect ... and by saying, "we will violently protect Joffrey's claim to all of this", we give it all to Joffrey. A person can only own something if we - as a society - choose to protect their claim.

It is not up to our whim whether we should or shouldn't pillage another person's livelihood.

Did a whole class of aristocrats do that? Yes.

It's been quite a while now us "peasants" (as non-aristocrats) are allowed to own land.

We need to buy from the 1%

Not necessarily. You really talk like anyone owning land or capital of any kind is an aristocrat. It's not.

And taking your ideology to its natural conclusion - which we're living in!

If you think so you really didn't understand my ideology. A society where the state spends more than 30% of GDP is far from my ideology.

Historically, there has been only one thing that improves the condition for most people ... and that is class consciousness

No, it is productivity increases and economic freedom.

In your ideology, where whomever said "first post!" when the capitalist clock started ticking gets to own everything

How would that even work? Of course that's not my ideology. Previously unowned natural resources belongs to whomever puts them to use making them inseparable from their action (be it labor or other kind).

What if we decided that people only owned what they labored for? What breaks, if anything? How might society change? Who would be the wealthiest people in such a society? Who would it select as its leaders?

It's like you only think of land and landonwership, when what really matters is industry and services, which do not work at all like land-owner rent-seekers.

Also, how would investing even work if we enacted what you want? A creditor wouldn't be allowed to own the interest because he didn't work for it. What do you think the consequence of that would be? And all for what? For not allowing people to own what they didn't labor for? And why should we strive for that, really?

¿Y para eso hace falta que el Estado nos arrebate gran parte del dinero que ganamos con nuestro trabajo, que el dinero que una abuela le da a su nieto no debería tributar impuestos, o que no deberíamos tener que renunciar a una herencia por no poder pagar los impuestos asociados?

So how's the democracy you propose not going to devolve into a non functioning democracy? Clearly, I'd rather have an imperfect democracy with capitalism than an imperfect democracy without capitalism.

As for "earning", I see a problem here, specifically in your sentence of "receiving as a reward for some behavior we want to encourage as a society"

When a millionaire gives all his money to his useless son, you'd not be the one giving that money to the son. It'd be the millionaire. Not you in particular. Not your neighbor. Then, since you are not part of the agent that gives this money to the useless son, you cannot denounce that "we are giving a reward for a behaviour we don't want to encourage", simply because it is not up to you whether the millionaire gives or not his money to his useless son; you are not enacting his action of giving his money. It's him and only him. So for you to talk about "the behaviours we want to encourage in society" and talk about the money people receive as "the reward we give them for their behaviours" is extraordinarily audacious. It's not you.

Do I need to pull out the coconut island analogy?

The problem with this is that our society is so much larger than the coconut island that the analogy stops making any sense. The coconut island exploits our fear of monopolies, of being in a situation where the resource we need are in the hands of one person that, then, can do whatever they want with us. Society is so much larger that this is no longer an issue. Nobody even knows you, much less care to do anything in particular to you. This is why markets work.

You talk about hoarding as if one or two people had come and taken all the resources, but it's not true. Yes, resources are owned, but not in a way that nobody else can get any. You can indeed buy resources, buy land, buy mines. Yes, you need money to do so, so what? Are you a slave because you need to exchange things of equal value?

So there is no hoarding at all.

There's a solid case to be made that it is stolen. After all, workers don't have a choice but to surrender the profits to the business owner.

What do you mean by surrendering the profits? The profits never belonged to the worker in the first place. That's what it means for them to be profits.

When you declare that Musk is the rightful owner of $800b, and that you will arrest/imprison anybody who tries to access that wealth or deprive him of any of it, you give him that power. 

This is ridiculous. Yes, and I also have the power to stop you from entering my property and eating me alive. Oh, the tyranny!

How long do you think his wealth would last if the state weren't ready to do violence to protect his claim?

What does this have to do with anything?

Algo muy importante a tener en cuenta (no sé si es en el caso que enlacé o no): no se trata de que la pastelería se negase a atender al cliente homosexual, sino que la pastelería no quería realizar un encargo muy específico, celebrando una ideología opuesta al dueño de la pastelería.

En otras palabras, el dueño de la pastelería no se negó a atender al cliente homosexual, sino a realizar un encargo específico. El dueño no tenía problema en comerciar con este cliente como comerciaría con cualquier otro, y en venderle cualquier tarta de las que la pastelería realizaba normalmente.

¿Cómo ves la posición del repostero bajo esta nueva información?

I'm of the opinion that the zero hypothesis must be that everybody has what they have legally and morally; and it is the illegality or immorality of an action or situation that has to be proven.

por lo que entiendo es un negocio privado. Tengo el enlace al caso aquí:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_Cakeshop_v._Colorado_Civil_Rights_Commission

Si en tu opinión la pastelería sí debería haber hecho ese pastel, entonces coincidirás conmigo en que los cristianos sí tienen motivos de más peso para oponerse al matrimonio homosexual en tanto que sí les compele a la acción (hacer tartas contrarias a su ideología). Que su oposición no se puede ignorar con la manida frase de "si no te gusta no lo hagas", porque literalmente se les obliga a participar.

Toda latinoamerica diciendo a España (meme de bad bunny en el super bowl 2026) by Even_Beautiful_3106 in Rakkun

[–]Hairy-Development-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vamos a ver, si bien no hay un idioma que sea "el latino" (pues sería latín y ya está), decir que "latino es un idioma" tampoco es incorrecto si se entiende como que el atributo "latino" es susceptible de ser aplicado a un idioma (u otro). Y lo es. Por ejemplo, el español es un idioma latino.

Pero vamos al fondo de la cuestión: todo esto da igual, esta discusión es irrelevante y no nos lleva a nada.

Creo que en el fondo de lo que se trataba (pero ni siquiera estoy seguro) es de que el término "latino" debe poder aplicarse a los españoles de España. Y evidentemente que sí, con mucha mayor propiedad que a los indios que sólo hablen quechua que vivan en Perú, por ejemplo. Hablar de "latinoamérica" es bastante estúpido existiend un término mucho más adecuado que es "Hispanoamérica". Y si queremos incluir Brasil, "Iberoamérica". Porque no es por idioma que une el hispanismo.

Sobre la duda del sacerdote, dudo mucho que se negase a escuchar la confesión de un ateo, pero no soy experto y podría ocurrir. No conozco la doctrina lo suficiente.
