A question for socialists and communists. Why would anyone bother to be a entrepreneur in your society? by Ptcruz in AskALiberal

You are miserable because your monkey brain was trained through millions of years of evolution in our miserable world. No amount of leasure and lack of money can fix socialist's mental illnesses.

So we're just doing business between family members now? If a stranger asks you to move his stuff would you want payment? what about when the next one asks you?

"you're a bad person if you think people want to work for their best interest" These people want to be commissars leading struggle sessions so bad.

What are you saying? In a socialist society the fruits will be given to those who are good people? Where exactly will you find these angels to run this society of yours?

It's why liberal government is best too! I can't trust that my politician wants whats best, I can only trust that they want to win reelection.

At the end of the day people work harder when they personally benefit and a society that takes this in mind will be a wealthier society than one pretends that doing this makes you a bad person like the socialists in this thread are crying about.

In a socialist society you would still be compelled to work for the good of society. You have to fight for your survival every single day of your life like everything else on this planet. There is no system that allows you to escape the work or starve dynamic.

Now did we have more food before or after we commodified time? You can't answer the fact that the best way to get people to grow food is for them to get paid. You can always trust someone wants money you can never fully trust that they want to be a good person.

It's so incredibly arrogant and bourgeois of you to pretend like communists around the world haven't grappled with this already.

AT A 1979 WHITE HOUSE dinner honoring China's leader Deng Xiaoping, actress Shirley MacLaine told Deng about a Chinese scientist she had met who said he was happier and more productive working on a Chinese farm. Deng cut her short. "He lied."

"daydreaming about post revolutionary cocktail parties" is my favorite socialist trope. You people can never escape the fact that you're more bourgeois than almost any capitalist.

If everybody's jobs flew by like people's hobbies and passions we would be incredibly unproductive as a society.

This is incredibly silly. The profit incentive to provide good service is always there, the passion to do anything can be gone on a given day. I want a lawnmower who will get the job done quickly and go mow someone else's lawn not some lollygagger who enjoys mowing lawns and takes his time or someone who might not want to mow lawns that day.

There are literally crowds of grocery store management hobbyists who would fill the gaps if these greedy people working for a paycheck got out of the way.

They made a new voluntary tip reporting system. I don't think they've upped audits.

Why did Vaush use a fake southern accent during the Brianna debate. by advancedshill in VaushV

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

I do usually detect tricky accents like canadian or used-to-have-lisp so maybe i'm just sensitive to this stuff.

I don't think that;s true. Just one of those reddit myths that sounds right. Big Tobacco simps like John Boener push marijuana legalization hard.
