So...what exactly is wrong with capitalism? Besides the fact that commies resent the rich and hard work. Why do commies feel entitled ti get gibs from big gubment? Self interest, individualism, will to power, etc is all in our nature and denying that is life denying. Affirming capital is affirming life, communism/socialism/social democracy are the systems of the Last Man. Nietzsche would have been an ancap.

It’s not the hard work. It’s the easy work. Usury and interest means people can make money without doing any work. It’s believing that money can create more money which doesn’t make any sense. Only labor can create more value. It’s not sustainable.

The main problem with capitalism is that it divorces the elites from any connection to the land and people that they rule. There is feudal contract, no social contract, no tribal kinship, and no religious brotherhood. There is nothing to moderate the worst excesses of human nature. Simply put, a society based on unfettered capitalism is a society without the social ties that make a society.

While I do find myself leaning heavily towards monarchy, I can see other avenues towards achieving the same goal. For instance, before the Texas based Maxxam corporation engaged in a hostile take over of the Pacific Lumber Company and began clear cutting vast swatch of land, the Pacific Lumber Company was one of the largest employers and land owners in Northern California for nearly a century and never had an issue with mass clear cutting and deforestation. The Murphy family, which had started the company in 1863 and controlled it for most of its existence, lived near the countless people they employed, created entire towns around their mills and were connected to the Northern Californian communities. This sort of quasi-feudal relationship between a company and the people that depend upon it didn't require monarchy it just required a localist mindset.

>Hard work
Nothing is more annoying than capitalists claiming a monopoly over hard work. When the picture of Jeff Bezos in his run-down garage went viral everybody was praising him as a hard worker, as if his work in bringing about Amazon is any more noble or conscientious than the work of the millions of his employees, managers, accountants, lawyers, computer programmers, engineers, builders, labourers, sales managers, financial advisors, etc.
Jeff Bezos' "hard work" would amount to nothing if it were not for his workforce, yet for some reason capitalists think he is justified in taking the profits of his workforce all for himself and doing with them whatever he pleases.
Capitalists call those in the lower rungs of society leeches and moochers but they say nothing of those bourgeois business owners who sail in their yacht all day while their bank account fills up from the labour that their WORKFORCE exerts.
If the workers willed it they could rise up and count the fruit of their labour as their own and do with it as they please. That is the essence of Marxism.
>resent the rich
The rich are just a product of the capitalist system under which we live. When counted as a group we can say that they have a decidedly negative influence on the world. However the individual rich person is not to be excoriated; rather we should direct our sights towards the oppressive capitalist system of which they are a product.
>Why do commies feel entitled ti get gibs from big gubment?
Communism implies a stateless society, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. As for "getting gibs": Marxism has always been for the workers, who do work, not get gibs.
>social democracy
Social democracy is capitalism. It is probably the best form of capitalism in that it promotes social mobility and egalitarianism but it is capitalism nonetheless.

>> No.13387693

>>13385703
>So...what exactly is wrong with capitalism?
The problem is (usually) never any structure. It's human behaviour what fucks it up. Communism doesn't work because
1) It's not natural, so it requires revolution, which requires a power structure, which the leader don't want to give up and then they abuse their power
2) Useless management type people do nothing and reap more rewards because of this

Capitalism works becasue it forces everyone to make their own way with somewhat fair payment for work.

The problems with it is:
1) Some people have higher skills AND have the trait of seeing money for money's sake as a goal. This creates a power inbalance which can be exploited.
2) Administration sprawls out of control in business and creates a place for useless weasel middle managements to get higher paying jobs than the useful workforce whilst doing nothing (sound famaliar?)
3) The useful workforce wants money so they look become middle management. They've now lost a useful worker and gain a likely shit manager becasue it's someone who is use to working and not managing.
4) The power inbalance gives the powerful so much spare money that they end up spending it in ways that promote cheating the capitalist ideal of working hard for you money
(for example paying instragram thots, models, actors(Some actors are genuinly good but they're all overpaid for the work and a lot are just there becasue they're goodlooking),)

So basically hopefully you can see the problem isn't a economic system, the problem is a power difference which appears to be inevitable in humanity (and other forms of being) and this makes most people unhappy except from a few.

It'll all be fine economically when we have AI to do manual labour, and then if we don't retreat into VR, we'll be so bored that we'll have decend into a highly hedonisitic lifestyle. That's the ones who haven't been slaugthered/starved from the transition of the system from human workers to robot workers atleast.

The problem is that you imagine "Capitalism" as a young entrepreneur starting a business in his garage, instead of the rootless cosmopolitan elite controlling finance, media and culture.
Somebody will control the economy, and I'd rather it be a government that is at least somewhat beholdend to its citizens instead of a company that ,in a best case scenario, only cares about profits, and, in the worst case, actively works against the average person. Basically every corporation supports unlimited immigration (cheap labor, more potential customers in the country), LGBT-stuff (better consumers, docile & sex-obsessed citizenry), etc.
If you had an "AnCap" society, what makes you think that corporations won't become the new "government", just a lot more tyrannical & rootless. Just recently, I read an article about Bank of America no longer doing business with any company that is somehow connected to detention centers or prisons. Others have suggested that e.g. Visa & Mastercard could just refuse to do business with gun-sellers. Google & other social media companies have "cured their content" to try to limit the visibility of right-wing individuals to prevent another Trump...
We need a strong government that reigns in companies with this amount of power, by either splitting them up, nationalizing them or, at the very least, have very strict regulations.

Not him, but workers' ownership of production only makes sense in more primitive technological states. When you have products that require workers of a dozen+ different specializations, it no longer makes any sense. Each individual worker no longer necessarily knows how to use the product, because they only crafted one part of it. At that point, the one who specializes in the end product itself becomes the one who knows how to use it, or how to get it to those who do.

A modern Mercantilist USA, my form of modern mercantilism, would be better because wages would be higher, job requirements would be lower, employers would be forced to be more willing to train employees themselves thus decreasing the "need" for college and trade school, US would be more powerful by default, shit hole countries like China, India, Mexico, etc would be put back into peasantry where they belong, and people would still be able to be rich. One of the capitalist critcisms of Mercantilism was that trade is not a zero sum game but that has been proven false. Sorry Adam Smith,trade has proven to be much closer to being a zero sum game in terms of nation to nation trade than not being a zero sum game. Notice how the people who claim to say Mercantilism doesn’t work and capitalism is what made America great LOVE the two negative parts of Mercantilism – subsidies and limiting wages. USA became no1 from Europe being in ruins after WW2 and the USA exporting industry to China has weakened the USA, lowered wages, which is proof of Mercantilism being right and Capitalists being wrong.
deport all illegals and visa workers and indefinitely halt all future immigration. It would raise wages and lower the cost of housing, especially in places that need it the most like big cities.
The labor shortage or skills gap myth is propaganda that is pushed so companies can keep importing workers who work for less and have lower work standards. Something that I never see mentioned about immigrant workers is that they have lower work standards, an actual citizen can tell their employer to fuck off, visa worker has to work 16 hours a day if they are told.
AI and automation is supposed to remove tens of millions of jobs from the market in a few years, self driving cars alone are supposed to remove millions from the US market. Every extra person you bring in is going to make the damage done by automation that much worse than it has to be.
Most big cities would have a $15+ minimum wage due to supply and demand if my deportation and immigrant halting happened. Would corporate cock suckers bitch about the minimum wage being $15+ due to supply and demand with no minimum wage law increase? Of course they would! Wages are already depressed yet they are lobbying for immigrants and visa workers.
I hear conservatives say wages have to stay depressed so we can remain "competitive with places like China and India, the only reason those shit holes were able to get out of peasantry and become a threat is because the same people saying we need to keep wages depressed exported industry to China and India which gave them wealth and power and allowed them to become a threat. China now has the power to destroy the USA because the USA exported industry to them.
Mercantilist USA would have NEVER let China or any other country get better. Population might not be even half of what it is now too which would be more environmentally friendly than any other policy.

why are you so devastated your precious and completely wasteful suburbs are starting to decline in the same manner the inner city did in the mid 20th century?
And of course we have to support the property investors, not the people who need a leg up in order to survive in this ruthless economic climate, they should be kicked out so yet another gentrified bubble of wealth can be created for landlords to get rich off. Why should make it there are no rent controls and landlords can just charge everyone up the ass, relegate the poor to the shitty suburbs with far less opportunity, access to employment along with far more spread out, infrastructure which requires far more effort to maintain rather than the inner city, as well as being heavily car centric, which is an additional cost to add in to their lives now. Let's also just let people work 2 or 3 jobs which according to your sheltered ass almost never happens, when in reality you're relying entirely on government labour figures which are heavily skewed to show as good a figure as possible, and even then still it's 16 million people working two jobs. You clearly need to leave whatever bubble it is youre living in and actually witness what America looks like thanks to a complete lack of effort to control business.
In addition going "hurr muh europe is so fundamentally different from the US we could never possibly have a system like them" is just a complete cop out because the US very easily can have a system like Europe's it's just neoliberals like you make any excuses you can to prevent it from happening. It's always going to be an impossibility when the business elite is making cash hand over fist as American's, since the GFC, are increasingly getting poorer. You're not advocating for a system that will help people or prevent people from investing themselves in hardline political solutions, you're a person who wants capitalism to fail at all costs by making it completely unworkeable except for those at the very top.
In addition a liveable wage is a wage you can live on without needing benefits from the government which far too many americans are actually able to do considering 37 million of them live in households where a person works as well as receives welfare. You're advocating for a doomed system since the next crash is around the corner, whether you like it or not, and it's going to completely destroy people's faith in this austerity cost cutting nonsense you advocate for. You also haven't addressed the fact that wages are being suppressed by innovations in the market that you're sucking off as if they're the solution to everything, the US is definitely going in a worse direction every single day as long as this hardline, ruthless capitalism is being embraced, and it's sending more and more people away from your precious capitalism into the arms of alternatives which you have no solution for except "lmao what if we were even crueler to them?"

when 90% of people were self-employed, capitalism was a way to a better life for the average man, as practically anyone and everyone could easily start a business, hire a few workers as they needed, and generally find success if they worked hard
it's not longer easy to start a new business, the markets in first world countries are extremely developed, to the point where there is very little room for any new businesses to find a niche in the market
capitalism is an excellent economic system for fresh markets, as it enables people to very quickly start and expand business
for stagnant (stable) markets though, it's not good because it's inherently restless, the management wants growth and/or profits like they had in earlier years and will attempt nearly anything to obtain it, with the company and it's employees at risk
this latest boeing fiasco with the 737 max is a great example of this, a very mature company pushing for more and more growth at the cost of their company, product, and employees (as they laid off many of the senior engineers who would have been developing the flawed software)
sometimes it's called a "race to the bottom"

Way to completely ignore everything I said to make assumptions.
>And of course we have to support the property investors, not the people who need a leg up in order to survive in this ruthless economic climate, they should be kicked out so yet another gentrified bubble of wealth can be created for landlords to get rich off.
>people who give other people jobs and cheaper housing by way of competition is not a net good for all but attempted monopolists
Woooooow.
>Why should make it there are no rent controls and landlords can just charge everyone up the ass
And then get forced out of the market by more generous landlords.
>relegate the poor to the shitty suburbs with far less opportunity
The suburbs have less poor than anywhere else.
access to employment along with far more spread out, infrastructure which requires far more effort to maintain rather than the inner city
Except that is it a lot cheaper, any guesses why that is?
>as well as being heavily car centric, which is an additional cost to add in to their lives now
Still cheaper than the big city

If that’s the best option, then cool. Who am I to tell them otherwise or punish others for?

I like you ignored my last point about statistics and interventionism.
>and even then still it's 16 million people working two jobs.
Out of 330 million?
>You clearly need to leave whatever bubble it is youre living in and actually witness what America looks like thanks to a complete lack of effort to control business.
Have you heard of Teddy Roosevelt? And this implies business needs to be controlled, which you have not proven.
>In addition going "hurr muh europe is so fundamentally different from the US we could never possibly have a system like them" is just a complete cop out because the US very easily can have a system like Europe's it's just neoliberals like you make any excuses you can to prevent it from happening.

what is your solution to the millions of people, because maybe out of 330 million it might not seem like enough but 16 million upset people is enough to sway any election, what is your solution to those left behind by your austerity advocacy? You consistently ignore the point that this only benefits the few, and that most americans would say their situation has gotten worse, hence the rise of populist figures like Trump and the resurgence of socialism. You act like everything is improving when it very visibly isn't and ignore how your position will fix it when it's very visibly driving people away from capitalism

What the hell even is your argument at this point?
>In addition a liveable wage is a wage you can live on without needing benefits from the government which far too many americans are actually able to do considering 37 million of them live in households where a person works as well as receives welfare.
Oh no so sad some people are using a system the way it was literally set up to be used. Welfare is not a substitute for work.

No they’re not, prove it.

we are very visibly leaving numerous people behind and it's been this way since this heavy handed tactics with the population have been introduced, you advocate for more deregulation, more deregulation etc. When most people are being harmed by it. The states with the most deregulation such as Louisiana have massive healthcare issues and problems that the rest of the country doesn't have like higher rates of cancers and disruption to poor communities. You might be able to sit in your upper middle class suburb and talk about how great it would be if every corporation was able to behave with impunity, when in reality most corporations already behave with impunity in the US, especially when they're in areas of poverty where there aren't the resources necessary to tackle massive global corporations. You're advocating for a system that hurts people dramatically more than it helps if you think deregulation is going to lead to anything except more harm to citizens without the money and resources to defend themselves. Sitting in your room you have no idea how fucked the situation is for americans all across the country who are latching onto figures like populists and socialists who will undermine your suburban dream. This you have no solution for except give them what they want and make things worse and force the public right into their arms, make the effort to think through how a position of dramatic deregulation actually hurts people beyond your immediate line of vision if you can believe it or not

Sure, it’s not because of the climate or rurality of the areas, it’s deregulation.

Nothing really, it's a fine economic system that works pretty well.

Communists mythologize the economical, therefore their only critique can be of any economic system and thus all problems that they see are economical.

The west has no issue with economics, it's not that Germany needs foreign labour to avoid starvation. The issue is the culture and society *around* communism, the culture of the material, which is ironically the same thing the communists are speaking about.

Communism versus capitalism is an entirely false dichotomy.

Had the fascist won in 1945, they would have encouraged mass migration in europa somewhere around the 1980s/1990s, in order to increase profit (low price workforce = more profit).

Modes of production which are based on the exploitation of others often don't care about racial purity. See slavery mode of production and capitalism. Feudalism might be an exception, since even if it was based on the exploitation of serfs, racial purity was preserved.
