Endless hours etc

2018-01-23 00:25:04 UTC  

thats not true

2018-01-23 00:25:06 UTC  

Capitalism being something people do

2018-01-23 00:25:10 UTC  

It's not a thing

2018-01-23 00:25:19 UTC  

before the sweatshops, there was starvation

2018-01-23 00:25:19 UTC  

no, wealth disparity causes poor countries to corrupt themselves and let us legally fuck them over

2018-01-23 00:25:31 UTC  

Pakistan ^

2018-01-23 00:25:34 UTC  

it just happens that capitalist countries are the wealthiest and best at negotiating

2018-01-23 00:25:59 UTC  

wealth disparity and corruption existed long before capitalism did

2018-01-23 00:26:03 UTC  

the only reason why third world countries are exploited is because **the citizens don't have rights**

2018-01-23 00:26:24 UTC  

politicians of countries that are poor have an incentive to sell their country to immoral corporate entities

2018-01-23 00:26:37 UTC  

I’m all for capitalism to a degree , I don’t think trans national companies should be able to dominate completely an area or gain to much power because they have a massive impact on politics too.

2018-01-23 00:26:46 UTC  

you could argue that capitalism facilitates that, but any government structure is capable of fucking over another in this way

2018-01-23 00:26:56 UTC  

Agree ping

2018-01-23 00:26:58 UTC  

This isnt some thing that needs to be fixed unless you are a 'for all mankind' type

2018-01-23 00:27:01 UTC  

i suppose thats why socialist countries did so well in surviving corruption over the decades

2018-01-23 00:27:11 UTC  

what with them banning capitalism and all

2018-01-23 00:27:28 UTC  

no it doesn't "just happen" that capitalist countries are the best! don't you understand that its ideas that dictate the fate of a country? Don't you understand that the success is intrinsically linked to the rights of the individual?

2018-01-23 00:27:53 UTC  

because ultimately, a right is a requirement for **life**

2018-01-23 00:28:16 UTC  

and to deprive someone of their rights is to deprive them of their means to live.

2018-01-23 00:28:19 UTC  

i'm with Revolver Ocelot on this

If people are genuinely as free (as we can give them without anarchy) they'll have an incentive to reach the top, they'll work hard, try to be smart

which in turn improves their country

2018-01-23 00:28:23 UTC  

Yes, business as it is today is done by free people who have the right to make their own business or offer their labour to others

2018-01-23 00:28:27 UTC  

I’m not a socialist either mate , honestly I don’t like any modern economic ideologies , there’s lots wrong with all of them , socialism is just communism lite

2018-01-23 00:28:31 UTC  

Freedom is paramount

2018-01-23 00:28:43 UTC  

Liberty over everything

2018-01-23 00:28:47 UTC  

(Civic)

2018-01-23 00:29:05 UTC  

there is no difference between communism and socialism. They both follow the same philosophy.

2018-01-23 00:29:16 UTC  

Singleton , what about when those minorities who think collectively vote you out of your rights for being an evil whitey

2018-01-23 00:29:16 UTC  

they are both morally wrong.

2018-01-23 00:29:23 UTC  

and those Sh*thole countries are also there because the actual smart people from there realise its shitty so they move to the west, hence the west keeps the smart people and the poor countries lose them

2018-01-23 00:29:27 UTC  

I thought communism was the Intended outcome of socialism?

2018-01-23 00:29:45 UTC  

Jayred isn’t that called brain drain

2018-01-23 00:29:48 UTC  

Also yes they both strip the rights of the individual far too much

2018-01-23 00:29:50 UTC  

no, socialism is just a rebranding of communism done in the 20th century.

2018-01-23 00:30:00 UTC  

seriously, learn some history guys

2018-01-23 00:30:10 UTC  

Eh?

2018-01-23 00:30:11 UTC  

we've tread these paths before.

2018-01-23 00:30:18 UTC  

it is, and thats whats causing major damage to those countries too, because when all the good and motivated people leave, whats left? weak idiots easily susceptible to corruption and oppression

2018-01-23 00:30:41 UTC  

go and read "the ominous parallels" by Leonard Peikoff.

2018-01-23 00:30:48 UTC  

When was communism present before the 20th century ?

2018-01-23 00:30:50 UTC  

Will do
