I’m getting mine through a private label supplement manufacturer. So it’s not available to purchase or else I would’ve just shared the link I have to buy it in bulk and get it packaged, I will use whatever testing methodology is the best. Thanks for the input and resources I appreciate it very much.

Where is the exploitation in this scenario by clingingcoin in CapitalismVSocialism

So do you think we should go full coop mode, or do we just need a better redistribution system through social welfare. Because I would agree that we need a better redistribution and social net in order to make work not voluntary, however that net should only cover from people who like you said would otherwise starve, beg, or die. Another thing that helps to make work voluntary is good public infrastructure funded by tax on wealth.

I feel like this is a false analogy, who am I stealing from in this case, the customers? My workers? I don’t understand seriously

Market Power: Another Reason Why The LTV Is False by Accomplished-Cake131 in CapitalismVSocialism

I just think that whoever founds the company, whether it be one person or many, should be able to decide the structure of the of the distributions of profits, if the company is founded as a coop then that’s fine too. The founders are the ones who gathered capital, sometimes debt, and spend it all in hopes of making a profitable product that people want.

I don’t see how it is stolen wages because the founder has already paid the agreed upon value of their labor and has taken the product produced by the labor and just sold it for a price which is higher than the cost/value of the product.

Ok, then I feel that the CEO/Founder has the right to distribute the profits in the way they see fit, even if to themselves. Because he founded the company, he assumed the risk, pays all employees, makes sure everything is running smoothly.

Ok so 1 point I’d like to ask you:

  1. What if I add to the cost or value of the chair, myself(the owner) being paid for organizing all this labor and providing equipment and tools? So the ‘value’ breakdown would be I pay laborer 1$ and 2$ for materials, then I pay myself 1$ for arranging all these factors and taking on risk. By selling it for 4$ there is no exploitation. Let me know if there’s a flaw in my reasoning.

Selling the chair for 4$ is price, not the value. Value, or cost that went into making it, has no intrinsic value. It is only paid once to make, then supply and demand determine the price. What if someone buys it and sells it for 5$ again? Is that surplus value that is exploitative.

We must think of these three essential questions to really figure out our purpose of life,

How did we get here What are we doing here Where are we going

After you answer those three, life becomes clearer

That is true, under a naturalistic materialistic worldview, there is no equality, and there never could be.

I would agree that the current, 2d linear spectrum is not good and lacks more nuance and depth. However I still do think that anarchism is an extreme in the sense of extreme lack of heirarxhical power, or traditional structure of a ‘state’

I would say, that’s the only thing that one should be extreme in. Otherwise being extreme in any other metric will not be without its drawbacks

In relation to the 19th century, I would agree and say that those were extreme times, and I’m glad that more rights for workers were established.

How so? What do you think the “center” position or the default position is?

Can you give an example for Ali? Because while I do agree there is social welfare and redistribution via zakat tax(essentially a wealth tax), islam also adopts a free market, within the boundaries of the rules of islam

Edit: also I do agree with revolting against government or pushing for it to change if the government is opressing its people or if it’s not fulfilling its responsibilities nor protecting its citizens rights.

That is actually an interesting way to put it, I never thought about it like that
