enjoy your delusions

2020-01-11 09:29:12 UTC  

So since you said ok it seems you concede.

2020-01-11 09:29:18 UTC  

Au revoir.

2020-01-11 09:29:32 UTC  

yeah, you really showed me

2020-01-11 09:29:44 UTC  

@Throttles with the bigbrain

2020-01-11 09:36:40 UTC

2020-01-11 10:22:55 UTC  

@qwasi american dream is fuck all nowadays

2020-01-11 10:29:58 UTC  

You have to be asleep to believe it... 😄 (Carlin quote)

@Throttles#6140 socialism works in smaller communities

2020-01-11 17:00:27 UTC  

It does not work in bigger groups because human nature is selfish

2020-01-11 17:00:34 UTC  

And they will try manipulating the benefits of it

2020-01-11 18:27:09 UTC  

Keep America non communist

2020-01-11 19:37:03 UTC  

AMERICA FUCK YEAH

2020-01-11 19:37:07 UTC  

Lmao

2020-01-11 19:45:35 UTC  

@JesusHand That's a claim in psychology, give an argument for it.

Philosophically, it'd go along the lines of we do whatever is in our best interest or benefits us, hence why things that communism entails maybe in our interest.

2020-01-11 19:46:02 UTC  

And what do you mean by smaller, are you arbitrarily drawing lines between numbers?

2020-01-11 19:46:13 UTC  

What counts as small for you and why do you count it as small.

2020-01-11 19:51:36 UTC  

@Throttles a community of maybe 100 people

2020-01-11 19:51:47 UTC  

I’m saying a smaller group of people rather than millions

2020-01-11 19:51:59 UTC  

Why are you picking that number? @JesusHand

2020-01-11 19:52:38 UTC  

Just a guess

2020-01-11 19:52:44 UTC  

The number is besides my point

2020-01-11 19:53:04 UTC  

I’m saying the larger the population the harder it will be to have a functioning society with socialism

2020-01-11 19:58:56 UTC  

@JesusHand You say it's because of humans being selfish in nature. Can you provide an argument for that?

Humans are cannibalistic in nature but we still resist it, we don't run off instincts. Furthermore, whatever is natural isn't moral.

And that goes for capitalism as well, in fact it goes for any possible economic system because we have scarce resources.

2020-01-11 20:06:00 UTC  

Yes but capitalism is built around there being selfish people

2020-01-11 20:06:09 UTC  

As the greed of one contributes to all of society

2020-01-11 20:06:38 UTC  

If a person creates a billion dollar company they contribute to producing product, and employ thousands

2020-01-11 20:14:16 UTC  

@JesusHand Lol no it doesn't. It's whatevers in one's own self interest as stated by Adam Smith in his wealth of nations. One's self interest cane helping others.

Also no it doesn't. Because a person can just automate machinery and leave workers out of jobs.

2020-01-11 20:14:16 UTC  

GG @Throttles, you just advanced to level 11!

2020-01-11 20:14:26 UTC  

Machinery is more efficient as well

2020-01-11 20:24:14 UTC  

@Throttles Automation doesn’t make every lose their jobs

2020-01-11 20:24:29 UTC  

It just changes the jobs people can work

2020-01-11 20:25:01 UTC  

Those workers are maid redundant because of factor immobility, they lack the skillset of engineering.

2020-01-11 20:25:02 UTC  
2020-01-11 20:25:08 UTC  

Aren’t you a capitalist

2020-01-11 20:25:16 UTC  

Yeah.

2020-01-11 20:25:17 UTC  

I am.

2020-01-11 20:25:29 UTC  

I'm not an austrian though

2020-01-11 20:25:32 UTC  

I'm a Keynesian
