Welp. The state is a product of the market

2019-02-07 16:47:02 UTC  

Thats one thing answered

2019-02-07 16:47:47 UTC  

Only insofar as people see others accumulating wealth and want to parasite off of them without producing anything themselves, and they do so under the threat of violence

2019-02-07 16:47:48 UTC  

How is that the product of financial transaction?

2019-02-07 16:48:31 UTC  

Not financial transaction but financial institutions

2019-02-07 16:48:40 UTC  

Which is a product of transactions

2019-02-07 16:48:59 UTC  

the individual always falls to the well focused collective

2019-02-07 16:49:07 UTC  

Financial institutions such as?

2019-02-07 16:49:16 UTC  

@Arch-Fiend how do i not understand human nature? the person who produces enough to hire people to voluntarily produce for them ins't leeching off of anyone, or taking advantage, unless you're an actual marxist and believes in the theory of value, which has been thoroughly debunked

2019-02-07 16:49:39 UTC  

What is a financial institution?

2019-02-07 16:49:52 UTC  

If you're talking about banks those exist because of the state

2019-02-07 16:49:54 UTC  

but pazuzu every government in history was formed that way

2019-02-07 16:50:07 UTC  

Source?

2019-02-07 16:50:14 UTC  

human history

2019-02-07 16:50:17 UTC  

Banks exist because of people

2019-02-07 16:50:18 UTC  

Source? @Arch-Fiend

2019-02-07 16:50:36 UTC  

There were banks that formed absent actual government presense

2019-02-07 16:50:42 UTC  

The first banks weren't even state sponsored

2019-02-07 16:50:54 UTC  

if you dont care to listen to what someone has to say then you really dont need to be having a conversation with them

2019-02-07 16:51:16 UTC  

The modern banking system exists on the basis of fiat currency

2019-02-07 16:51:16 UTC  

Bank = i have money and i can lend you some, but you have to give me back every month by ??% increase.
also i wont give you more than i'm ready to loose on each person because i dont trust you and if you dont give me back i wont give you anymore and will tell other (banks) not to have business with you

2019-02-07 16:51:32 UTC  

I am reading what you are saying, I am also providing some counter points

2019-02-07 16:52:35 UTC  

I'm listening, but you're making a statement and I want a source for that statement. @Arch-Fiend The thing is that historically, ruling classes were not the merchant class, but rather, the warrior class.

2019-02-07 16:53:19 UTC  

If you need sources for whatever I'm saying, please ask and I'll gladly provide

2019-02-07 16:53:25 UTC  

When i say financial instutitions, i dont mean buildings but rather contracts between people to work for goods or alot trading that one individual alone coulsnt possibly produce

2019-02-07 16:53:39 UTC  

Like 2 people trading with 2 other people

2019-02-07 16:53:45 UTC  

You don't need the state for that

2019-02-07 16:54:00 UTC  

Yeah no state is needed for normal financial exchange

2019-02-07 16:54:13 UTC  

It isn't until the second half of the 19th century that the merchants effectively took over as the leading class in society. Samura to Zibatsu (Spelling?) in Japan,

2019-02-07 16:54:14 UTC  

Or any financial exchange, even for shit like law

2019-02-07 16:54:20 UTC  

People just want it to regulate existing modes of transaction

2019-02-07 16:54:49 UTC  

AskTheRisk i dont know how about your country but in my country some company avoid % you have to pay government by directly selling product to the costumer without company involvement

2019-02-07 16:55:13 UTC  

it doest take cuts if you directly sell to another person but when you start business than government comes in play

2019-02-07 16:55:19 UTC  

Isn't that what the black market ends up being, ultimately?

2019-02-07 16:55:35 UTC  

Not all black markets are bad but they get ugly fast

2019-02-07 16:55:54 UTC  

They get ugly fast because they end up in war with the government

2019-02-07 16:56:26 UTC  

Also because they're a good method of offloading goods gained via non monopolized coercion

2019-02-07 16:56:43 UTC  

pazuzu as you put it, the person who produces enough to hire people to voluntarily produce for them isn't leeching off anyone or taking advantage. thats true, and his children will inherit that system and wealth that he had of hiring people to work for him. but he might exapand his business into something more than agroculture, something like civil protection, metal industrys, and then perhaps an industry that serves both such as weapon manufacturing. and now once he is hiring people to create food, extract metals, create tools, and protect everyone doing the following he could hire and overproduction of people who protect everyone who has all the tools of protection from the tool creators to make war on other people doing the same thing as him in a form of forced consolidation of wealth

2019-02-07 16:57:10 UTC  

its not black market tho

2019-02-07 16:57:30 UTC  

its like, i want something, you buy something but i have not official company

2019-02-07 16:57:50 UTC  

technicly in human history this occured before metal production, it was stone to begin with
