not like you're teaching us what Marxism is, LR.

Wealth inequality and monopoly/cartel consolidation has only increased. But yes, capitalism can't survive for long as we get better technology and they will only continue with more violence/abuse.

Does anyone who read Karl Marx ever consider the very different world he lived in? In the information age the MoP become cheap and widely owned.

@Are, you create vouchers to keep track of the work/abilities/needs of everyone, then you exchange them back and forth and a market pricing mechanism emerges:P (I am joking).

Stocks of businesses is like business ownership, other people work in it and that makes money for share holders, that is exploitative.

Makes me poor in that bar :)

I dont believe in the abolition of private property... is not a good idea. Giving all to the state is the worst idea citizens could have.

Hi, I am the new guy

Can someone explain why socialism and marxism seem to be incompatible with free speech?

A2) Without an inflationary currency those who hold money invest it less, thus without it radical innovation is less likely to occur.

2) S2) Fiat currency DOES allow government to engage in more violence than it would otherwise

how does crypto derive value from fiat? & if BCH and lemonade are traded the lemonade isn't shared, its traded.

And reason actors, sportsmen & musicians do so is because they can't give their work to someone else the way factory owner can & they are worth what people are willing to pay to watch & listen to them

You don't sacrifice your time via work, you sacrifice security by risking your capital on equity in a company that could fail. If there were no reward for it, no one would take the risk.

The factories in Russia and China didn't have capitalist masters. Instead the communist party leadership were the masters. Socialism doesn't eliminate masters. It just appoints them.

I have yet to meet a pro communist person who has distributed their wealth out to everyone less fortunate than them. I see them reap the benefits of capitalism while pretending it's evil.

@snugg.. True communists want everyone to benefit equally. It's nice, but impractical. This vicious hatred of wealth and the wealthy is something far more sinister than simple communism.

Crony capitalism is capitalism. Try again.

I should have the freedom to not be forced b anyone do anything, you are taking it out of context. In capitalism you have a choice, either be like them & exploit others, or work for them & make them $

anyway, I've used up all my bch in this delightful conversation. So I guess capitalism wins this round

Someone is in charge of the army, are they doing it for money? I'd say they do it more for prestige and because it is something they are good at.

I know what he does, travel around, thinking what works and what can make him more money... that is fucking NOT WORTH THE MONEY HE GETS AS REALITY IS ALL THE WEALTH HE GOT IS FROM OTHER PEOPLE, u fuck

This world has had hundreds of wars, and they are ALL because some greedy fuck wanted more. THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO GET RID OF and not fucking embrace it.
