I hate capitalism and white people
Right third times the charm. I shall attempt to have a reasonable debate on the economics of capitalism and socialism. keeping race and the jq out of it. Kyrie Eleison
how much of capitalism is wrong. when most people think of capitalism images of Mark Zuckerberg and dystopic mega corporations are thought of. but one of my question is the SME's. the local chip shop and the butcher and the greengrocer. should the state own all greengrocers. so should we then set up a greengrocer commission. shous
should (grammar )
should a commission for greengrocers be set up. and what fruit should not be sold. how many banana's should one person buy. how much should a banana cost. should the cost of banana's be universal across the country or should it vary by region? all this seems inefficient and needlessly complex. and for the case of workers being exploited. what about family run companies, sole traders, partnerships. to tar all companies with the same brush seems needless. I am in favour of certain things such as monopolies commissions. personally I believe in the case of defence corporations they should be nationalised so companies like Lockhead Martin don't hold any country to ransom. defence is essential. but the nationalization of ALL companies would hurt the small man
And if the state own's everything why innovate. there is only one TV company so why innovate to make a better tv. there is only on pharmaceutical company so why innovate when what we have suffices. Capitalism is not perfect. Persian rugs deliberately have one flaw because perfect is only for Allah. but with the tools we have and the historical evidence capitalism ( not corporatism ) seems the least worst
feel free to correct me with your opinion
Well first of all
The thing you said about comissions
Thats what Worker Union's are for
And also
Even small businesses can steal labour from other people
Not saying all of them do
just while we are on the topic of unions. I have some things to say
Ok
first the core principal I totally support
once you start to differentiate capitalism as being "corporatism" the argument gets really nonsensical
capital will always accumulate towards the top and will always consolidate into a few groups or individuals, so corporatism, if it even exists as a separate thing, is just the end result of capitalism
Yes
to work in a dangerous working environment is wrong. there are stories of workers in third world sulfur mines without gas masks. that is wrong plain and simple and unions for them I am 100 percent in favour of
ill come to capitalism in a minute
Worker unions arent only for dangerous working conditions tho
but my gripe with unions is when they get too powerful. some picket lines use intimidation to other workers and sometimes even violence that is also wrong
violence cannot solve a civil dispute
and my other point was for critical industries. lets say every single subway worker in the world went on strike today. and lets say you and your friends intended to go to subway what would you do?
Go on foot
Like dude
If all of them strike at once
subway is in the fast food place
Oh
go somewhere else..
If all of them strike
thats obviously not going to happen any time soon and if it did then they must have a really good reason
Its because they probably are being exploited and are tired
And something really fucked up is happening and they have the right to strike
exactly because there are economic substitutes. and im just talking in the hypothetical so it doesn't need to be realistic its just principle
Ok
So whats the problem if they strike
but now lets say that every single fireman went on strike on the same day and your house was on fire. no if subway goes on strike I have no relation to subway so no skin off my nose but for cases where there are no substitutes what can you as a consumer what would you do. because what I just said literally happened in great Britain in the seventies. the army had reserve fire engines called green goddesses so people houses would not burn to the ground
so the problem was resolved with the army
