class struggle is very obvious in most 3rd world countries

2017-07-06 17:32:18 UTC  

Working class is mostly mad because of the welfare state and in my country the refugees sucking up their money

2017-07-06 17:32:50 UTC  

I don't think a lot of countries are truly capitalistic, sampuka

2017-07-06 17:33:14 UTC  

how do you define capitalism then? because I can't point to a non-capitalist country

2017-07-06 17:33:23 UTC  

ehm maybe north korea

2017-07-06 17:33:31 UTC  

and somalia hardly has a system

2017-07-06 17:33:38 UTC  

Most of what we have now is corporatism, I'm sure you'd agree

2017-07-06 17:33:44 UTC  

Singapore is a good example

2017-07-06 17:33:49 UTC  

very economically free

2017-07-06 17:33:50 UTC  

@Timo))) That's why Communists seek out to promote class consciousness, because even though that's an issue of class society and capitalism, they don't blame it on those two things.

2017-07-06 17:33:51 UTC  

I'd say corporatism is very much capitalism

2017-07-06 17:33:53 UTC  

very rich for a small country

2017-07-06 17:34:13 UTC  

Two different thing to me, that's why i'm not happy with what we currently have

2017-07-06 17:34:14 UTC  

there's no difference between capitalism and corporatism

2017-07-06 17:34:20 UTC  

size of the vountry hardly matters

2017-07-06 17:34:30 UTC  

If it was I should be happy

2017-07-06 17:34:30 UTC  

corporatism naturally occurs from capitalism

2017-07-06 17:34:38 UTC  

like monopolies

2017-07-06 17:34:46 UTC  

it's not that there's no difference between capitalism and corporatism, but that it's just an ill comparison

2017-07-06 17:34:54 UTC  

capitalism is a mode of production

2017-07-06 17:35:00 UTC  

not if the government can't give certain countries the upper hand

2017-07-06 17:35:01 UTC  

and corporatism is hardly well-defined anywhere

2017-07-06 17:35:18 UTC  

hardly defined but definitely what we have now

2017-07-06 17:35:32 UTC  

the socialists see this right, it's just the answer I'm not happy with from them

2017-07-06 17:35:35 UTC  

I don't follow, I've never learned what corporatism is

2017-07-06 17:35:42 UTC  

care to define it for me because I've never heard one?

2017-07-06 17:36:00 UTC  

When the government bails out corporations with our money

2017-07-06 17:36:01 UTC  

corporatism seems to be what occurs between capitalist and political forces, and the policies that results from that inter-mingling.

2017-07-06 17:36:11 UTC  

but the state is very much a part of capitalsm

2017-07-06 17:36:16 UTC  

^

2017-07-06 17:36:18 UTC  

When you need to be a part of some union before you can even have your business

2017-07-06 17:36:23 UTC  

not at all

2017-07-06 17:36:35 UTC  

yes it is

2017-07-06 17:36:35 UTC  

libertarianism is small government, more freedom and capitalism

2017-07-06 17:36:46 UTC  

Not even necessarily capitalism.

2017-07-06 17:36:51 UTC  

no, libertarianism is capitalism with small state

2017-07-06 17:36:51 UTC  

e have big government right now

2017-07-06 17:36:53 UTC  

The state is an apparatus of a ruling class.

2017-07-06 17:37:03 UTC  

Right now it is yes

2017-07-06 17:37:21 UTC  

In Ancient Rome, the senate was filled with the Patricians.

2017-07-06 17:37:40 UTC  

bet they'd buy all sorts of goodies with the government there
