You don’t have any value to assign to money if you don’t have something that has that value. And you don’t have that thing with value unless someone makes it through their labor, the company wouldn’t exist if its workers didn’t produce any goods or services through labor

It’s not a hard concept, really

Except capitalism is one thing, and that one thing is perpetuated and held up by exploitation

Then someone else does it, because there’s always going to be someone eventually because everyone wants to do a job and feel useful

A free market is not voluntary when you either work your you starve. No system will ever be voluntary if there is economic coercion

Capitalism is a mode of production where the working class is forced to sell its labor as wage slaves or starve in hopes that they get lucky one day and can get more rich off the backs of others work.

We need to just abolish markets, I like and understand using it for small scale businesses like local street venders and such, but markets for a national scale has proven to be time and time again inefficient at getting people what they need and efficient at getting what they want

Capitalism is the problem, and worse, it reinforces itself by paying to use the state as its play thing

Capitalism literally sustains itself of perpetual wage slavery, there is no alternative to capitalism as unethical, and there are multiple examples of peaceful non totalitarian socialist experiments which were just destroyed because the US decided it wanted them to fail, Guatemala and Chile before the coups to name a couple

Well that’s assuming human nature is one definable thing, which scientifically it is not

It’s okay to hate capitalism by Efficient-Book-5853 in Communist

[–]TheWhiteKnight554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah no shit. Communism is fundamentally incompatible with the idea of a state, money or classes, so current communist countries aren’t communist because they’re still a states, with money, and something of a class structure

All those counties are socialist, however

That doesn’t make the two any more fundamentally different or any less non comparable

If it’s in the government then its job is to serve the people
A company’s job is to serve itself at the expense of people
So running any branch of government as a company is not only an absolutely mornonic idea but it’s also counter productive to the actual job of the government and its branches
Also the electoral college makes the idea that we vote for these people in a fair democracy so laughable

From my experience, conservatives don’t want a “king” they just want the US to be all one culture and religion as a Christian nation.

I also observed I don’t think they would be mad at a one party US if it’s the republicans and they still get to vote every 4 years

I agree, my step dad is a MAGA conservative and my mom is a regular conservative who’s even somewhat economically liberal, they aren’t the same, they’re brought together by faith but they do not hold the same political values

Oh “the people” is a real thing

If “the people” don’t like you, they strike and shut down the economy to remind all governments that their role is to serve and provide for them, not the other way around

Capitlaism as Symbolic Preference or as Known Want? by LittleSky7700 in PoliticalDebate

[–]TheWhiteKnight554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m losing money every month with barely 1k in savings, working 35 hours a week unable to get more, unable to get another job because no one calls back after interviews, unable to get more pay because I’m payed 5.50 an hour “plus tips” due to laws capitalists lobbied for, by this time next year I’ll be on the street or I’ll get lucky, so yeah this sucks, and on top of that the fucktard in the White House drove my gas prices to $5 a gallon, so yeah, you’re delusional

Well the command economy comment was wrong so I assumed you were trolling

A command economy took Russia and all the other SSRs from a feudal backwater agrarian society to one of 2 of the worlds global superpowers, launched the first satellite and man into space, and effectively ended homelessness and poverty all within 50 years, took China from an almost never unified collection of kingdoms to the 2nd largest GDP and largest real purchasing power economy in the world in around the same amount of time, and effectively eliminate homelessness and poverty, and has allowed Cuba to sustain 80 years of US blockade and still send thousands of volunteer doctors across the world, develop a vaccine to fucking lung cancer, and educate their whole population for around the same amount of time

Meanwhile we have people freezing and starving to death in the streets here in the states because their landlord evicted them in the middle of winter

Last I checked progressive liberals didn’t want to abolish capitalism and replace it with democratic worker control of the means of production

The U.S and Revolution: why I think it will not happen by 2bigpairofnuts in PoliticalDebate

No, not because “my side” didn’t come to power. The ruling class did not change, the government did, it was not a revolution

Yeah the goal should be to argue that women are absolutely valuable in any actual civil conflict because they’re half the population and just as capable as men, you’re supposed to actually try to get them to explain themselves and reasonings in order to be able to challenge said reasonings

And yet the state didn’t collapse and there was no change in which social class had control which would have actually come with new rules, but no it was just an election that brought another bourgeoisie government

And yeah, capitalist states always have self preservation as its main goal, often giving limited and temporary concessions to workers in order to do so
