the "go to school and get a job" folks put all their faith in the wrong placeshould have paid more attention in history class
they not awake but you could be softer on em 
folks really do need to understand the fundamentals of consumption vs production
Makes perfect sense to me. Pointing out your logical fallacy of assuming since socialists are anti-exploitation, slave labor and pro-human rights that we must be anti technology, markets, innovation and progress.

What sort of moronic statement is “if life started with socialism, we’d be living in huts.” Early societies were socialist communes of hunter gatherers. shyt didn’t change until people of the steppes started to conquer with their horses. You think the majority of human history consisted of stockbrokers?
On top of that, human relationships all begin with what could be said to be a socialist relationship between infant and parent.
If life started with capitalism, everything would be a constant Shakespearean tragedy of bloody murder and revenge. You Ayn Rand worshipping, Atlas Shrugged thumping, pro-lasseiz faire capitalist fanboys are in some sort of delusional, ahistoric sunken place.
Congratulations on being able to bludgeon all those basic human “feelings” and “emotions” so you can spend your life focused on the economic domination of others, while bemoaning any concept of utilitarian sharing.

socialism disincentivizes innovation growth and change , economic domination is what powers innovation
but you seem too much of a simpleton to understand that. The reason China has always been a sleeping giant was one reason..,the reason they became the 2nd world power (same as India) was the adoption of capitalistic economy and way of life. But hey, you're right...the people of the steppes decided to conquer with their horses because they were happy with their socialistic society. LMFAO - sounds like people of the steppes realized whateveryone else realizes....socialism isn't at the table, it's on the menu

had to go find this post after being quoted.
people are morons and can't think themselves out wet paper bags. They pretend they are compassionate and from experience i know it's thinly veiled greed. Most people (especially young people) can give two shyts about the next person. An opportunity to sign up for free shyt? Yes please!
these neo-socialists or democratic socialists are the worse, cringy, whiny, ass hats...this must be what it felt like to deal with hippies in the 70s. Muthafukka talking about climate control, will riot and talk shyt, but hop their unleaded car (by themselves) and go to their homes and blast the AC on high while taking 45 minute showers. Fukk you and the horse you rode in on you socialist clowns.

this was funny but if you can't see how it got progressively worse then you are a moron.
the first two boxes were on point the last two made a great gigantic leap and made no sense.
the first two boxes is a challenge that if you're saying Apple isn't doing right then why are you supporting their products. It makes perfect sense. You can not support apple and utilize other products while also challenging apple to do better. In fact purchasing from apple only emboldens them to do more "chinese factory" crap.
the last box the man says we should improve society, the rebuttal "yet you participate in society" makes no fukkin sense because being part of society means you can help improve it.
Are you trying to rope a dope me into some snarky, Ben Shapiro I gotcha moment? I mean if you’re bored and lonely I’ll play with you.
No, I was sincerely asking you what you thought it was also, if and how you think it would benefit society, and how it would be funded.
Of course it makes sense...to you.
The irony of you calling out any logical fallacy when you seem to think that capitalism equals exploitation, slave labor and anti-human rights. It’s been addressed already in here by @Perfectson so I won’t go in much more detail, but ppl that are so against a company should not be supporting them. How does that make any sense?
These new age socialists are the biggest hypocrites, and yet always find an excuse to explain their capitalistic use (I had to buy a car, it takes too long to get to my job at Starbucks)
And the last two slides were dumb as hell. Look at these new cars, they have every safety feature imaginable. shyt Volvo’s claim to fame for decades were their safety features many before the laws were even in place. Competition drives companies to research and develop new technologies to incorporate in to their vehicles. They could have easily just stopped at seatbelts because that’s all the law required but they didn’t. It’s no surprise that these automakers all have hugely funded R&D departments working to create and develop new things to one up their competition.
Take that away and what do you have?
Another logical fallacy socialists seem to think is that capitalism is anti regulation. But it’s not. Regulation is not the problem. But too much government interference and over(and unfair) regulations are. Especially when you have corrupt politicians that for some reason y’all just can’t wait to give all the power to.
Also, technology, innovation and progress are driven through capitalism not socialism.

Most capitalists are just pro innovation and technology. Want to keep pushing boundaries and moving forward. It’s about competition and driving for more.
The problem with many of you socialists types is that you see that capitalism creates winners and losers. And you would rather be in a society that doesn’t have either because you are afraid that you would end up not being on the right side of that equation.
So rather than strive for more, or work harder. You’d rather be ina society where everyone was GIVEN the same things. Where everything was programmed for you. Where the government made your decisions for you and told you how to live. That way you would have an excuse for your pathetic excuse for a life.
Right now you only have yourself to blame, and that’s just too much for ppl. So they need to create a villain to explain their miserable lives. And right now “capitalism” is the bad guy to blame for their problems.
But what’s even more fukked up about these types of ppl. Is that they won’t make any changes in their lives to get away from this capitalistic society (because of all that nice comfy convenience it provides). So they would rather use their tools of capitalism (computers, smart phones and the internet) to just complain about it and act all virtuous, while enjoying all those same conveniences.
THAT is why y’all will never be taken seriously.
It's not what I think it is. It is what it is. It is a basic income for survival that isn't based on work requirements or means testing. It is something that will be necessary when these companies start deciding to go fully automated. People are going to be out of work. Even doctors because AI is going to be able to diagnose patients, and robot surgeons are on the horizon. Instead of asking how it would be funded, the question to ask is what will happen when there aren't enough jobs and careers to go around for everyone?
This is like the invention of cars, trucks, etc. get on the wave or be left behind. Trade schools to learn automation should be packed. I work in an industry that, for all intents and purposes, should already be automated. Better believe, even as senior management, I will learn everything I can to stay working
