@LotheronPrime i'd be leftists if i said i agreed with it, despite its many holes.
If they have the option to not buy from that baker, why is that baker obligated?
Feelings don't make it into this equation at all for me
cuz its not about the option, its about that the baker discriminates who it sells to
and Discrimination against a non CIS-white is one of SJW's deadly sins
It's principle.
@RyeNorth its not exactly a direct form of democracy as not everyone gets the same number of votes.
You earn your influence based on value added to the community
You lose influence as penalty for crimes.
yes, but it takes a community to then undo just one of your vote choices should you change stances.
its direct democracy until you have been voted all the power
in other words
the only difference is that community can easily just vote you out
Capitalism doesn't end in straight dictatorship unless it's been undermined
If it has been, it moves towards corporatism
Which, incidentally, is what we're in early to mid stages of now.
#notrealcapitalism
"yay, they know karate"
mid stages? i'd say anything not in full blown socialism right now is in full blown cronyism
As long as corporations are able to influence laws to reduce competition, we need vigilance.
i love people who are like "corporations control the laws, **we need more laws**" like ummm hello, who did you just say makes those laws?
Like, today I found out that in Texas has a licensing process for AC technicians that requires you work for an already licensed company for four years.
That shit needs to get abolished
wut
Yup
Corporations control the laws, We need more laws to control corporations
Racists run the government, We need more laws to control the racists
The government is fascists, Only the government should control guns
etc etc
Texas, people, get on this.
Mmhmm
It's happening.
was this like trying to bring back trade jobs? like stupid trump and his tariffs?
"lets make this a law, that way they are forced to bring on apprentices"
That sort of thing means that if you want to open your own company,you're required to work for your competiton.
Throw in a non-compete and the protectionism is complete.
"oh wait, it only punishes competition? who would have guessed laws hurt competition"
Riiiiigh...?
Yeah, I'm not one of those that thinks more government fixes this.
Judges ruling against excessive, prohibitive licensing fixes this, maybe.
Abolitionist movements in state Congress fixes this.
People are too focused on employee rights, though,when there needs to be more focus on entrepreneurship
Otherwise we wind up all working for Wal Mart
what a fucking way to start up pride month
