What's to say IQ does not cause toxic culture and crimes in the first place
not exactly
How so??
It's a proverb that people use
and there is a strong correlation between IQ and life success
The oldest profession in the world is ______
Is it not prostitution then?
That proverb isn't true though, it's a proverb for a reason
Ofc but prostitutes have existed in prehistoric times
Because we have both blacks and whites of varying IQs who are successful regardless of IQ? On average, certain races may not be as smart, but the difference is a very gradual climb and not a sharp cliff
And Prostitutes do indeed individually own the means of their own production
It's a bellcurve, you will find genius black people
If you compare the life of a person with an IQ of 90 and that of a person with the IQ of 150 then of course you'll see a radical difference, but the vast majority fall into the meaty middle
But, hunting existed prior. And, the food would then be shared with the tribe
Depends on how you defined a tribe
Ok I'm pretty sure we agree on everything
If the number is very insignificant, then they're more likely to share.
But once you have 100 people in a tribe, a natural hierarchy exist
and people suddenly want to individually owns things
It's just that if genetics is a large factor in IQ, I would be against policies such as affirmative action.
However, show a damn source for that dude
I would be against policies such as affirmative action regardless, as being part of a toxic culture does not entitle you to succeed more than somebody multitudes smarter who came from a middle class family
If IQ is based on genetics
I would argue the toxic culture is caused by low IQ
Prior to capitalism there was fuedalism
I read your statement wrong
Yeah sorry I agree with you
I'm against it regardless
Snapped this off /pol.

As for socialism / marxism, the biggest issue in general that I have is the surplus labor value. The general idea of the surplus labor value theory is that profit, aka excess labor, exceeds the cost of the worker's labor and is stolen by the greedy capitalist. However, this fails to take into account the mobility of the worker, wherein if a worker feels their labor is not being valued correctly then they have the possibility of simply switching jobs. However, if you are a business owner, you don't have the luxury of simply deciding to have a new business one day, especially if your assets are invested into this business
Furthermore, a worker does not invest assets into a business (generally speaking.) The person providing the menial labor does not have the same risk the person running a business has, and since the person running the business owns these means of productions thus allowing the worker to receive compensation without any risk to themselves, then they are entitled to the profits made. If a worker feels like they deserve the profit that comes with controlling the means of production then, in a free market such as the one we have today, they are able to open their own business. That's the glory of a somewhat regulated free market, a good balance of consumer protection, worker protection, and profit.
Post it in economic-issues
Not to mention, the class theory presented is lacking. In the 19th century, sure, most people who owned the means of production were rich and post menial workers were poor, however, nowadays these classes simply have no meaning. A person with a hot dog cart is going to have much less money than a professional footballer player, however according to the outdated marxist class system it should be the opposite way around. Even at the time that the USSR implemented socialism this was true, with many rich peasants aka "Kossaks" being killed. Mind you, being rich simply meant owning a few acres of land more than anybody else.
