What does “politically correct” mean? A correct take?
Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us
He/him or they/them, doesn’t matter too much
What does “politically correct” mean? A correct take?
Yes, and thus there is a tendency for the rate of profit to fall.
America is a one party dictatorship, and in typical American extravagence, it has two of them.
Who says I don’t have will? You can’t vibe material conditions into changing, expecting Socialism to be built by the will of the people is idealism.
You have to build it, with your hands.
By vibing it into existence? Can’t. It must be built through organizing and revolution.
Read theory.
You’re misreading me. Change happens every day. Socialism is the answer
You mean just vibing a revolution into action?
That’s why I am recommending you read theory. For the why of Capitalism’s inevitable demise, Wage Labor and Capital and Value, Price and Profit both do a much better job of actually explaining the inherent unsustainability of Capitalism.
What?
Marx definitely foresaw that possibility, his conclusions are more that if there aren’t grand wars or famines eliminating everyone, Capitalism itself cannot last forever, which is far more comforting than assuming socialism can vibe itself into existence.
The wealthy Capitalists that fund the DNC (and GOP, of course) didn’t want it to happen, so it didn’t. The US isn’t very democratic at all.
Just read theory, it’s not that hard, and people have been discussing how to get out of this Capitalist hellhole for hundreds of years.
Do you think that making immigration so difficult so that you create an underclass of workers below your citizenry you can domestically super-exploit for super-profits is causing housing issues?
Hey, I became a lot more hopeful for the future after reading Marx. Capitalism does indeed suck, but it’s unsustainable.
Layers and layers of anti-socialist propaganda and misdirection.
Capitalists have their own power. Coming from wealth and private ownership.
And socialists also have their own. Coming from equality and collectivity.
What power do Socialists have in a Capitalist system? This makes no sense.
But I think expecting everything to be all nice, free, equal and collective is too good to be true. You have to be competent, useful and valuable to society.
Who is saying that everything should be “nice, free, equal and collective?” What does that word salad even mean? Why do you think Socialists wouldn’t be useful to society, and why do you think parasitic Capitalists are useful?
I have a friend and neighbor that is 68 and never worked in his entire life. Now, he’s quite intelligent but he decided to live on welfare his whole life because he could. I have absolutely zero respect for that. You talk so much about exploitation and abuse. Here’s an example of someone who abused and exploited a socialist system with his laziness and uselessness.
Not only is Welfare not Socialism, but this person has stolen far less from the Workers than Capitalists do every single day.
Please, read theory. It’s clear that you’re just vibing your takes and don’t actually understand the underlying mechanisms.
Kinda like a depressed, defeated laugh. Reading Marx makes things much more hopeful, but I think that’s the gist.
But other than that, I think most common trades should come from private property. That’s how businesses and wealth are built. I want this in exchange for that, and money often being involved.
Wealth for the business owners off the labor of the workers, ie exploitation.
Also, ownership doesn’t always mean that you don’t work at all, it simply means that you use your resources and what you have adequately. Someone that has a lot of resources can probably manage to not work much, but still has to make important decisions on how to use these resources
Management is labor, but labor no different than any other labor. It doesn’t entail many, many, many, many times the profits it entitles in Capitalism that comes directly from the Workers.
We could obviously go into the small details, and I understand that private property can be abused when it goes too far. But that’s why I think we need a healthy balance of socialism and capitalism. Some things should be owned publicly, while other things are owned privately. It’s up to the society to create laws and regulations depending on their values.
Private Property is abuse no matter how small, because it requires Workers be exploited. Additionally, it cannot last forever, and leads to increasing disparity and increasing exploitation. Society won’t magically legislate better laws, the laws are decided by those with power, ie wealthy Capitalists, and they would not allow their power to be stripped from them.
Please read any leftist theory. The works I linked would be fantastic for you, but any kind of leftist knowledge would benefit you at this point.
Nah, I just want you to know what you’re talking about, pretty simple
