Which isn't inherently gibs.
It is
Of course the social safety nets in our country have been exploited and abused. This is intentional by the system
But that doesn't mean they are inherently flawed
Welfare itself isn't a dirty word
Under capitalism, the only way to get rich is by giving people products and services they want. Under socialism, you can be an asshole and the government will still subsidize you
Thats false
You can be a complete leech in capitalism and become rich
How?
What do the infinite number of traders, bankers, and brokers really do for our people?
National Socialism also combines with cultural reforms to promote the value of hard work and contributing to society
Thats why those two are so important together
Of course socialism without the National promotes leeches because they don't care who they are stealing from
Well, I have a 1.3m loan from a bank. I used it to buy a 20 unit apartment complex. I'm providing housing for 20 people, they voluntarily give me money each month, I voluntarily pay the bank interest, and I still make a profit. Everyone wins
But that's not what I asked. I didn't ask what a landlord did
We wouldn't have so many banks and they wouldn't be nearly this large, if not for the federal reserve, which was created by the government
Are you charging a fair price, or exploiting them?
Usury needs to be banned
A fair price is whatever someone is willing to pay
No
The Church considered Usury to be sinful for centuries. It's making money from nothing
And they let Jews become Bankers and here we are. Banning usury was a mistake. But that's another issue
Desperate people are willing to pay more, that doesn't mean it's right to charge someone extra when they're vulnerable and can't say no
They let the Jews exist in their societies as an internal clique. Thats the mistake. Not banning usury lol
What do you mean by desperate? If the rent is too high, they can move to a less nice apartment
Banning usury would have worked if they banned it for everyone, not just Christians
Ok. So now you and the other slum lords get together. And decide this is the minimum price you will charge
Moving isn't always feasible
Also socialism isn't communism. You are allowed property, the right to own your own business, to profit, etc.
Sometimes people have no other option
It's just that you can't directly spread poison to your countrymen or exploit them
I appreciate being called a slum lord. Lol.
Okay, so me and 4 other landlords decide to all raise our rents. So an entrepreneur comes along, sees a demand for affordable housing, buys/builds apartments and charges lower rent. Me and the other "greedy" landlords lose all our tenants and we're out of business
Okay. So now you collude with the local government to block his permit to build
These are things that have actually happened
I agree, government shouldn't have that power
I'm not trolling
I know you're not
Okay so who should decide who builds where
If we remove form government the power to block business and grant monopolies then that problem won't arise
Okay so you and the other local landlords present a higher bid than the entrepeneur can afford on the land to build
If you own land, you should be able to do whatever you want with it, with the exception of any covenants you've entered into. For example, if I buy a home in an explicitly all white/Anglo neighborhood, I can't sell my home to any non whites
All of that is voluntary and doesn't require government force
A capitalist society promotes exploitation and will always end up where we are now.
The problem is that without a strong central force acting for the good of the people, profit will motivate and reign supreme
Why are third worlders imported in mass to our countries for cheap labor? to maximize profit.
Capitalism is slow boil communism, to catch the frog unaware
You don't make a profit without giving people something they want
Why aren't the people of Appalachia provided the services they need? Its not profitable
Because they're white and they provide for themselves
The problem is that there are wants, and there are needs.
They provide for themselves. But they can't build an entire power grid or water system my man
But the people in Appalachia can just move at any time! Maybe to a big city center
"a luxury once enjoyed brclmrd a necessity" internet I'd now a necessity. So is air conditioning. A cell phone, etc
That requires capital in this system. Something these people don't have.
Hadrian, lots of people did this to work in factories, etc
Alot of them were forced by the way
I was actually reading about this the other day.
The business owners who needed labor would collude with local government and other land owners to force out farmers and the like.
So they'd eventually move into cities for work
The rural farmers and peasants pre industrial age were infinitely more wealthy than the factory workers
I agree, government is evil ;)
And now their children pay $80,000 a year to rent a broom closet
Okay so lets remove the government from this situation
The wealthy now hire boys with guns to forcefully move these people
Which should be fought against. And local thugs are a lot easier to fight against than the federal government
Without the safe guards of a central government what prevents the wealthy from monopolizing force
Recreational McNukes
Feudalism lacked alot of these safe guards, and as a result the peasantry were directly under the whims of the local wealthy such as nobles.
"We need some manpower for this war. Get the fuck off your farm and come with us. Or we kill you and seize your assets"
Without a strong central government, who will build the gas chambers?
Jones, the wealthy already monopolize force
If we eliminate the government (or most of its power) then that disappears. If it comes back in some other form then we should fight that, also
I dont understand how it disappears
Factory owners can't force government to take land from farmers
Yes. They just do it themselves
Slum lords can't block building permits
Right, they just buy the land up outright
That happens much less often , and I agree, it shouldn't happen either, but government does it far more
Thats because we live in a neo capitalist society where our governments often adhere to the whims of the wealthy
The greatest goal of the wealthy is to retain capital and prevent us peasants from aquiring it
We have crony capitalism. Government interferes constantly. America was wealthier and there was far less poverty before the welfare state
Jones, you shouldn't think of yourself as a peasant. You should look at how wealthy people acquired their money and do it yourself
9 out of 10 millionaires in America are self made, meaning they didn't inherit it
We had far more pure capitalism a century ago, and it was pretty bad
The owner of the corp I currently work for, aquired his capital and started his business by splicing into the local infastructure of the existing telecom companies. An act like that today would put me away for a very long time
So what he did was not only illegal but unethical
A trend you see often by those with wealth in this system
And purely capitalist systems as a whole
We don't live in a purely capitalist audience
System *
I didn't say we did. I'm saying that this has happened in more pure capitalist socieities as well
In the late 19th century, business owners often would relocate their employees to towns they built paying them in vouchers only valid in these workers towns
Child labor, unsafe working conditions, no protections
As opposed to what
As opposed to these workers having some level of freedom and self determination.
They have the freedom to work there or not to
Or to start their own factory
With what capital
Capital is created
When you're just a few paychecks away from starving, starting your own factory is not even remotely an option
