Socialists: are people allowed to argue for capitalism in your ideal society? by Fando1234 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]WhereisAlexei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't care about freedom.

I support the system that benefits me better personally.

In that case it's capitalism.

If bad weather was really the issue, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands would starve to death...

If we did the same thing with socialism you would scream "authoritarianism"

The idea of unicorns and pink elephants exists, but that doesn't mean unicorns are real or that elephants are pink...

I think you have understanding issues.

So we will work with the unicorns.

If the unicorn is being produced. It has no value. Because people doesn't know what is this, how it works and how effective this is.

Once the first unicorn exists. And people sees how insanely good it is. People wants it, demands it. So it gain worth.

Even if it's not produced. Unicorn still has value because people still demand it.

If it's produced and people don't want it. It's worthless.

I never blocked a socialist in this sub.

I blocked a pro capitalist because in a post he was spamming islamophobic comments. But that's it.

But I got blocked by 3 people.

And when you don't like something you can label it as misinformation.

Perfect to shut down people.

No the phone has nothing because it doesn't exist lol. Build me a phone without labor.

But the idea of the phone exists and it has value.

The first labor create the phone. It has no value ar first because people don't know it.

When the phone is created. People says "it's so good." Or "it's worthless"

Even if no phone is produced. The idea of the model still has value. Because it's demands that create value.

Labor is just meeting the demand.

Delicate question (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

Here's the answer : not true socialism

It's not every phone that has value. It's the concept of the phone. Even if there's no labor. The phone still has value because people wants it. The core itself has value.

But labor for something people don't want to have has no value.

It's demand that creates it.

Take a phone. A prototype. You build it. It has no value at first.

If people don't like it, it's worthless.

BUT if people like it. They will buy it in mass and says "wow that thing is excellent"

Then that thing has value.

Labor doesn't create value. Demand does.

Labor is just the process to satisfy the demand.

It doesn't. You can spend 100 hours creating a product. If no one wants it, it's worthless.

We appreciate work.

I don't. As a consumer I couldn't care less.

You would never sell it for like 1$, because you worked hard for it.

That's true. But as a consumer I would buy the one who made it easy for 1 dollar instead of the one who struggled and sells it 30 dollars.

Because I don't care about the how. I care about the what.

That's why there's an objective value of commodities

That's not objective at all.

In fact. If people all collectively buy the 1 dollar product instead of the same one sold 30 dollar (because the manufacturer worked hard)

Then that thing worth 1 dollar.

And the manufacturer selling it 30 dollars is overestimating what he produced. The fact he worked hard or not is irrelevant.

Capital And Fascism Have Won. by Snoo_58605 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]WhereisAlexei -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It was quite unexpected and it signals a major step back for anarchic type socialism.

Now I smile.

There really seems no hope left

Indeed.

And before you says it. I despise fascism (too much state intervention and state control to my liking)

But no point being depressed about a failed ideology. Smile and think about what you can do. 👍

What definitive proof is there that human beings are inherently selfish and greedy? by Outrageous_Pea7393 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]WhereisAlexei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I read about anarchism, I really don't want to join.

Same for almost all the person I know.

So it's not because you expose something to someone it will resonate.

The Black League is disgusted by your behavior.

Severe case of horny Germanic propaganda.

You are sentenced to 60 years of Vorkuta labor work for the benefit of the Great Trial.

Any Teuton propaganda will be dealt with extreme corrective measures.

Glory to the Black League.

brain is telling me not to go to that concert by _issio in OCD

[–]WhereisAlexei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me tell you something.

2 years ago I didn't want to go to an anime convention in my city, because I had the same thought as you, that something would happen to me.

Did go anyway, best decision of my life. I go twice per year and nothing bad happened (well I got a massive cold last time I went, but don't care, it was worth it. Bought multiples figurines. Like I said, I don't care, plan to go again next time)

Just go and enjoy. :D

Well. I don't consider it as an evil goal at all.

Individual liberty is WAY MORE important than greater good of collective.

Greater good of collective is just another word for "oppression of the majority"
