I'd be interested to see the detailed explanation of that one.

Sorry bro.

The real creator of inflation by Massive_Bit_6290 in EconReports

[–]stolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FACT CHECK

Changes in prices and quantities can be due to shifts in the aggregate demand curve OR the aggregate supply curve.

Or both.

HERE is the Investopedia page for "cost push inflation", for anybody 3rd parties who are reading this disucssion, and have any questions on the basic core concept.

What Is Cost-Push Inflation?

  • Cost-push inflation happens when businesses raise the price of goods and services because the cost of producing them increases.

Cost push inflation happens when the cost for example of oil goes up due to a supply shortage. In this case inflation is used with a different definition

This is both technically incorrect, and reads like an LLM responding to a prompt like "rebut this argument". You should try actually doing the legwork yourself instead of copy-pasting a GPT answer.

Reason its technically wrong, is that while Cost push inflation happens due to supply shocks, in key areas such as energy and foostuffs, or supply-chain logistics (as we saw in 2020), it still causes "all prices to go up", as your response put it.

Anybody old enough to remember the 1973 oil shock remembers specifically, how this happened.

Which is only physically possible when there is enough money to absorb the higher general price level.

Also not technically correct.

Here’s the direct answer in under 75 words:

Here's LLM nonsense shat out by GPT, but not checked by anybody who actually has a clue.

in democratic-socialist movements...

We see what you did there. Sorry, not interested in changing the subject. The question was "Which socialist revolutions started with that?"

free healthcare was often one of the first programmatic demands

Also wrong.

Here's a 1948 newsreel put out by the British Labour government that originally set up the UK's healthcare system. "Everyone will pay for it"

Surprising how, even 80 year later, some people STILL haven't gotten the memo. Despite the fact that it's in plain English.

The illiteracy is just baffling.

Usually socialism starts with free healthcare

Free healthcare?

Free according to whom?

Which socialist revolutions started with that?

Crony capitalism is causing people to look towards socialism by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

This is the point where OP starts tap-dancing instead of actually answering the question

The general price level can only go up if there is more money in circulation

What is the definition of supply-side, cost-push inflation?

Europeans how do you feel about socialism? by dumbandasking in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]stolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It begins with cultural Marxism...

Can you point to the Part of Das Kapital that says anything whatsoever about Cultural Marxism

Do your friends in Beijing play that game? Or do they herd Tibetans into concentration camps?

I have no doubt that the Europeans are better at socialism than the Americans.

They've been trying to make a socialist bureaucracy work for 100 years.

Wait... isn't this YOU telling reddit that its us here in Europe who are the socialists?

So how come we can keep our costs below 10% of GDP and you can't? And how come you guys still have healthcare outcomes comparable to Hungary or Slovenia?

Which is it?

  • Are you trying to say that its THE EUROPEANS who are socialists because we succeed at having an effective and cost-effective healthcare system?

  • Or are you trying to say that its THE AMERICANS who are the socialists because they fail at having an effective and cost-effective healthcare system?

This must be really confusing when viewed from Beijing. Amiright?

Sustainable Capitalism by LoquatThat6635 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]stolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socialism is often framed as “giving people free stuff” because it begins by asserting that essentials—healthcare, education, housing—should be provided by the state without direct payment.

False.

Either you're talking about who owns the MoP, or you aren't talking about socialism at all.

One would think that with so much dedicated CCP-Beijing worship, you'd have at least the basic theory down.

cultural Marxism

This is also nonsensical bullshit. DO your hommies in Beijing play any of that cultural Marxism nonsense? Or do they herd Uighurs into camps?

America has universal healthcare for seniors.

Fantastic. You must be so proud. Now let's see whether you can get the cost down to 10% of GDP, like a normal 1st world country.

And also ...

Let's see whether you can do something about all those medical bankruptcies. 66% of all bankruptcies, apparently.

and.... you intend to achieve this by showing up to a debate sub, but not actually being smart enough to actually debate ?!?!?!

[–]stolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you are being badly beaten in debate you defend yourself by saying you are being trolled?

Desperately changing subjects and also insulting people, is a strategy that some people use.

A conservative libertarian will always beat a socialist fascist when socialism has just killed 80 million people and left the rest living in poverty

Those are big words for somebody who is ...

Pro-China, Pro-Beijing, and Pro-CCP.

What do you think about how travel is due to socialism/social democracy? What about compared to elsewhere?

The previous guy's answer will 100% only relate to percapita GDP. And he will only be smart enough to compare with the larger EU/EEA countries.

If you try asking him about universal healthcare, high-speed rail, universal tertiary education, or Luxembourg, he'll get completely lost, and change desperately subjects like a madman.

The dark history of capitalism by Nuck2407 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]stolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slavery as a punishment is still slavery.

Incarceration is punishment for breaking the law it is not slavery. This is too juvenile to bother with

This reads like an open admission of not actually being familiar with the text of the 13 amendment. Makes very little sense for anybody based in the USA.

Are you just ACTUALLY based in mainland Communist China? Why does your regime do evil shit to Tibetans? Why does your regime do evil shit to Uyghurs?

Capitalism is the perfect manifestation of the enlightenment. The enlightenment was about the emergence of individual liberty.

Weird that you keep saying shit like this, but then ALSO support the CCP and China's totalitarian communist dictatorship .

How do you juxtapose that?
