It is a competitive system. Nothing is given for free in Bitcoin. We both have jobs and are decidedly capitalists. Socialism cannot work.

I'm not saying any of this to be mean or anything. When workers like you and me start their revolution, we'll be fighting side by side.

We aren't being mean either, but we won't be joining you in that fight :)

How can you say you are Capitalist when your bosses make profit on the work you do and you don't get paid enough? You are part of the working class and are being exploited. I am too.
replied 2375d
I think I get paid very fairly for my work. I don't feel exploited whatsoever.

Maybe so, just don't be surprised if one day the Capitalists you work for take your pay away for no apparent reason. I know you'll join the fight with us when that happens. :)

They have every right to do so :)

Why? You do all the work for them and they do nothing. They don't have any right to reduce your pay if you do the same amount of work or more. Unions and Coops prevents this.
replied 2375d
Competition in the market prevents that. Unions are bloated bureaucracy. "They" took risks and built a company that I now work for. They do a lot more than "nothing".

Maybe Unions have bureaucracy but so do Corporations. And Corporations have a lot more bloat than Unions.

And yes it's true that they initially took risks to build the company but once they started growing larger, that's when they start doing less until they stop working all together.

DYK that Capitalists are actually Anti-Competition in the markets? Larger corporations push out the smaller guys until they are the only games in town for employment and purchasing.

Crony capitalism =/= capitalism. We are both opposed to crony capitalism.

Capitalism is cronys. The only ones in Capitalism that have any real power are the cronys. Thankfully we both agree that BCH takes power away from cronys.

Competition has nothing to do with it. You could easily have worker co-ops competing with each other under Market Socialism. Nothing is given for free under Socialism either.
