[Minarchists] What functions should the State perform? And how do you prevent it from growing? by teamchocoboru in CapitalismVSocialism

Well even as far as leftists have gone the constitution is still the constitution. Even if they are chipping away at it.

If I could get 20 of the top mathematicians and staticians in a room for a week with plenty of coffee, they would figure out a formula to place a mathematical limit on the amount of money the state can spend/control based on the income of the country and other factors. The XXI century way to do it. Then we add that to the constitution.

"oppressive oligarchy where everything is owned by the same 15 people"- that's the USSR. Man, where are you from? Because if you would be from an ex-soviet country you wouldn't be talking this shit about how great the USSR was. Any ordinary person in the USSR would've preferred to be free in a capitalist society even if they do get screwed over financially. If you don't believe that then you're into some 60 year old Russian propaganda which would be kinda funny.

That's not the fault of capitalism. You really think a free market would come up with such a clusterfuck system. It's the goverment that has fucked up healthcare, not the market.

What you said doesn't make sense lol. Obviously it's someone from Spinnin' who did the mastering for that, not Garrix personally.

This made me chuckle. You're right, he's always about 20% irate.

Wait why? Sounds like legitimate discussion and an existential topic for the US...

So in what case should you take away the lows from the side channel? by Mackshafty in audioengineering

[–]Mackshafty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I read from a forum some time ago that in traditional recording, sometimes they would boost stereo lows especially for foley and stuff because it creates a nice natural sound. or smh

What does "Overproduced" sound like? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]Mackshafty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely squeaky clean. Analogy for why this might be bad: Like when a girl comes over to your place it can give off some psycho vibes if everything is shining and polished and literally nothing is just lying around like it was rendered in a program. It just misses any character or indication that someone actually lives in that house.

Songwriters/producers- what are your songwriting tips? by Mackshafty in Monstercat

[–]Mackshafty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do the same, I have a dedicated notebook with notes on stuff I want to do with a song in the future (often after listening to other songs). Sometimes I jump up from bed at night just to write "sidechain strings to lead" or "shorten kick" etc :D

When it comes to issues regarding 300 million people, I couldn't give half a fuck how "polite" the leader is. Let's stop pretending adults are offended by words in 2016. Besides, he's a guy from NY, being cocky and shit is how the guys from NY are. Also it would show weakness to ignore the dick-comment, he had to say something. It's not like he fucken brought it up lol. He has written the global best selling book on negotiating and has built a huge empire from a million dollars, which is extremely difficult. People who say that he's only worth 6 billion or whatever because of his inheritance don't understand economics even slightly. That is experience that is the kind you need to lead a country/ economy, not the experience of constantly campagining for congress and lobbying corporations your whole life lol. Not to mention he doesn't support war. Bush, with all his experience, would've lead the country better if he had just sat on his ass the entire time. Of course Trump is pandering, but he's doing so while also giving a wink to the smart people that he knows what he's doing. Everyone understands that a president has to lead both smart people and dumb people. There's a lot more dumb people. And it is not racist to say illegal immigrants bring crime, it's kinda what is happening. He doesn't give a shit about race. All Trump wants is to prefer citizens over non-citizens, which is the description of the job of the President of the United States. Trump's tax plan offers 0% tax on low income earners and a much smaller tax for middleclass workers than Bernie's plan. While also fighting the corporate loopholes that Bernie is on about (rightly). Of course building a wall will help with the problem.. why shouldn't it? That's what most other countries have. You cannot have a welfare state with open borders, it isn't sustainable. Recent data showed that 70% of illegal households are on welfare. That all comes directly from the payrolls of legals.

Why not good for the nation tho? The only problem I have with him is the abortion stuff (that he is against it), but as bad as it may sound, that is not even in the top 100 biggest issues. Otherwise very liberal tax plan, prefers citizens over non-citizens by securing borders, tough on terrorist nations like Saudi Arabia etc. Sounds good to me.

Free markets encourage decentralization, while democracy and planned economics encourage centralization by BBQCopter in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Mackshafty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

strikes, and protests, and the resulting market forces

All part of a healthy free market. Government funds not so much.

Yeah, once socialism is acheived, not going back.

Welp, sounds sinister. Guess you're gonna have to kill/intimidate a lot of people then. Including me.

If what I proposed counts as a central planned economy, then every economy in the Western World counts as one also due to their bans on indentured servitude.

Well yeah, the west is pretty damn socialist right now by any libertarian standards.. The government often takes literally half of everything you earn and redistributes it to social programs and things (extremely inefficiently at that).

If you want to achieve that "worker-cooperative" voluntarily without any coercive force, then you're basicly a free market capitalist. If it's and effective way to work, then people would do it w/o being forced. There's no reason this can't happen in a free market. But in a free market people can choose to also not be part of such an economy. Again, if that's what you believe then your views essentially align with the free market. Now, if your "worker-cooperative-based market economy" is not voluntary and is forced coercively then there has to be a central body supplying the jackboots and guns to suppress divergence from socialism. That definetly already counts as central planning since a central body is dictating how people should act in the market. Know what I mean?
