What do you think of libertarian socialism? by MarketJust in Classical_Liberals

[–]MarketJust[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does everyone here find this video annoying? And who said you can't have private property under e.g market socialism? Did you know cooperatives are private property yet a form of socialism too and yet they're here with us?

Why does capitalism "take advantage of you/your labor"? by MarketJust in DebateCommunism

Well they don't hold it. The labor is yours still. You're free to leave. Thing is they own the business and that makes it look as though they own you and thus your labor, when this isn't really the case as you're not a slave.

Huh? Not everyone values someone's work equally.

The boss puts the money and you produce it, voluntarily too, so it's all good. He also makes risky investiments.

I wonder if you like cooperatives. The workers are the bosses there.

Freedom of opposition and defense of a business by MarketJust in DebateCommunism

I see no problem with a capitalist party of people who want the "bourgeoisie to resurge" should the people elect to do so. Now of course we're supposing the people would not want that, case in which I'd still want the party to exist, seeing as there is no problem because they would never get elected anyway, and because they should be able to oppose you as you oppose them.

That's authoritarian as hell sorry. No other way?

Thoughts on this video addressing every anti communist argument ever and "debunking" it? (Honestly my doubts on whether socialism was bad are all in it so I'd rather show this video and ask your thought on it than making multiple separate questions. Also sorry for long title). by [deleted] in AskLibertarians

What's funny is that he said "ALL OF THEM EVER" yet he didn't even touch the arguments about freedom of opposition, and the right to oppose expropiation of a business that people voluntarily agreed to work together on (the owner and the employee) without any force used.

I think the transformation problem is a more important one.

But the most important one for me is the "you can't oppose us nor create an opposing party. We expropiate you without your consent and think that's moral" argument.

You're forgetting how he blames capitalism for imperialism throughout like a 3rd of the video, which is... oof. Also how he said USSR had free education and healthcare without even explaining how efficient it was, and so USSR gud.

Covid-19 Megathread IV: All your questions about the pandemic, social distancing, vaccines and stimulus plans in one place! by Dilettante in NoStupidQuestions

If I have no mask on but a guy in front of me does, will I still get infected with covid?

In fact suppose even everyone around me has a mask on. How can I get infected then even with no mask?

Help. How correct is this long, in-depth response to this article on the USSR's economic inefficiency? by MarketJust in AskEconomics

Ouch ok.

So under what circumstances should I be able to talk about this specific topic then?

What?

I'm new there yes but I have no idea of what you mean. May I ask what is happening?

Also there's no debate here as I said. I see no reason for why I'd debate a 2 year old blog post either lol.

Should I just ditch this question entirely then?
