im just arguing against their free trade policies that outsourced jobs helped destroy american manufacturing

But you need to pull workers from some other sector. It was an outgrowth of the fact most American manufacturing became obsolete with the development of the third world.

You can't just have both sectors grow with a working population which previously only engaged in one industry

American manufacturing was always going to eventually cease to exist

That's just how capitalist firms function.

And if the third world was kept down?

That wasn't going to happen either.

wdym nigga the unemployment rate was literally 7.3% at the time lol

Those firms exist to make money, they can generate more profit by industrializing the third world and exploiting their populations at a greater rate than they can exploit first world populations. Corporate power was always going to be leveraged to globalize the economy and industrialize the third world

We know, hence why most of us here don't call ourselves ardent capitalists

Nigga what are you talking about. You think that 7.3% of unemployed people would somehow support the growth of a service economy that would be meaningful.

where did i mention them supporting the growth of a service economy

Whether or not you call yourself a capitalist is kind of irrelavnt. Most of you still advocate a system which maintains the same processes that lead to things like globalization.

I don't care if you're an ideological capitalist or an epic 3rd positionist, if you're maintaining commodity production and the profit motive globalization is inevitability.

How do you advocate for a system that leads to globalisation if your policy is keeping the third world down and keeping your domestic economy not entirely based on coding or marketing? Or is it just capitalism in decay?

What does coding or marketing have to do with capitalist globalization

Whatever

I will now explain basic economics to you

Reference to a country dominated by the tertiary sector

You understand what a firm is under capitalism right?

Shut the fuck up

Answer the question so we can proceed with the discussion

If you're too much an intellectual termite to establish some axioms we can't move forward

How about you type five paragraphs of theory relating to commodity production and labour theory of value to make your point

@fuck12moredeadcops care to redpill us on what this is?

I date an artist

It's a character from a comic they're working on

I am going to make a very simple point literally anybody over the age of 14 should be able to engage with, I just want to make sure you're familiar with the language I'm going to use.

Because I know you people don't read

And that's okay.

Most people don't have time to.

I'm guessing your point is: Firms in capitalism want to make money, if you're not a socialist you'll allow some kind of capitalism (objective above all is to make money) to exist and grow, pee pee poo poo paragraph of marxist theory world salad, and then the aforementioned "capitalist" country will destroy itself.

No.

But at least you know what a firm is.

Ok then explain your point

A firm has to generate profit in order to justify the initial investment and continued investment, and it's in the best interest of the firm owner to maximize profits. One easy way to do this is to improve productivity, but these things are finite, and you're going to achieve an opptimizied level of productivity until you change something about the system?

Agree or disagree? @Punished Nazberg
