b. People with money can get themselves and their children a significantly better education than people without money have. That education results both in direct power (the power of an Ivy League degree) and indirect power (the social connections gained in the Ivy League). Thus, money became power.
c. People with money can get themselves significantly better legal representation than people without money. That's power too.
d. People with money can get themselves significantly better health care than people without money. That's power too.
e. People with money can use it for extensive advertizing and influence over public opinion via media. That's power too.
f. People with money have control over their employees and customers in a way that people with money do not. That's power too.
This is simply incredible. You keep repeating the most low-thought takes based almost entirely on the words "capitalism" and "socialism", with no concern for the reality, then accuse everyone else of lacking depth.
The claim "capitalism increases innovation and creativity" is nonsense.
The vast majority of innovation has nothing to do with profit motive. 99% of scientific discovery is made by people who will never make any money off of a "product" that comes from their discovery. And the vast majority of people who profit off of new innovations didn't have anything to do with making the innovation themselves, more often than not they just stole the idea from someone else or used their resource advantage to overtake the first ones to come up with the idea.
And the more that "creativity" is commercialized, the worse that creativity gets. The idea that you need profit motive to be creative is fukking nonsense - much of the greatest writing, the greatest music, the greatest art, was made by people who cared little for capitalism.
Let's remember, this is who we're dealing with. In every other thread he's a hotep conspiracy theorist who believes in a Flat Earth being controlled by secret reptilians, but suddenly someone insults capitalism and he code switches to PragerU / Cato Institute college white boy speak:
@Everythingg is a mush-brained hotep troll in EVERY thread.....until capitalism comes about and then all of the sudden he's a loyal Young Republican.
It’s the same family of illness of white supremacy. America being settled by advanced civilizations started as a white supremacist conspiracy theory for instance. No surprise he would be naturally inclined towards rugged individualistic Jeffersonian rhetoric.
The victorious conquerors always have an easier life than the conquered.
Like I said, white supremacist rhetoric.
I defined capitalism at its simplest form and the only problem you have is that someone will eventually become a winner thus making someone a loser. Sorry but that’s life.
No your white supremacist adjacent view of life is not the only problem I have with capitalism bimbo.
The problems with capitalism I have is that capitalism is naturally contradictory. Capitalism requires infinite growth on a finite resource planet. Capitalism needs the deconstruction and commodifying of new markets to survivor or else it self implodes. Because we have reached an end state of societal excess where growth is becoming harder and harder to attain we are seeing birth rates and production across plummet. China just published birth statistics recently that they are literally had demographic collapse range. Most of Europe and Asia are the same.
That’s the macro problem of capitalism. The micro can be shown in numerous examples of modern day corporations that are laying off thousands of employees despite record profits. ESPN is more profitable today than it was in 2010 but because they are less profitable than 2016 they have had massive layoffs and internal reorganization because they are chasing eternal growth. This goes for every corporation that only measures growth by the quarter. Even a bozo like you can realize infinite anything is impossible. It’s literally madness. Capitalism is inherently an insane economic system.
“The state has defined corporations” you say. But the law has defined the United States itself as a corporation, so you explain what that means, and what that makes the “citizens” of the United States? And while doing that keep in mind that over the United States “corporation”, there’s a private entity that controls the money supply, can print money when it decides and loan it to the US (corporation) at interest…That is exactly what creates inflation but keep blaming it on an economic system that allows a man to make a living off his own property (both physical and intellectual)
Sorry I don’t speak uneducated bozo. Can you reword this paragraph?
As soon as there was private ownership of property the rules of capitalism (without the formal title) came into effect. First it was people trading good for good before money became the intermediary.
What are the rules of capitalism? Define them for me.
You reaching outside the thread is an ad hominem but that’s expected when you can’t keep up. And you couldn’t keep up in that thread either. But just like that thread you over-attribute everything to cacs. Capitalism was there before them and will be here after them/their rulership is over
No you stopped quoting me in silent surrender. We can bring that thread back up and I can link to when and where you gave up if you want? You are categorically mentally ill.
Yup he “deconstructed” cac capitalism. His Marxism/communism/socialism would reach the same end as their capitalism
Oh ok, this should be good. I feel we have another mental derangement to uncover. What’s non cac capitalism?
