how did imperialism end up working for the British Empire?
@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) it made people massively rich
Some did
of course
and nearly all of their colonies collapsed
you're really just describing a type of person and not capitalism
thats the point
the point isnt to make most people rich
some people never have enough and constantly expand
just the right seect fee
few
So, in communism everyone starves
See?
If it’s a system of the past we must not return to it
the point of capitalism is the acquisition of goods through means of labor and trade
Equality
the goal of capitalism IS to make as many people rich as possible. The more rich people there are, the more it benefits other rich people or richer people
@Machinimal Capitalism requires new expanding markets
no it doesnt
@Machinimal no the point is the maximization of profit
@MrFlupsy somewhere in India
baba if i own chickens and my backyard and sell them to my friends what do you call that
innovation
if youre going to sit here and say capitalisms driving force is the pursuit of profit then im wasting my time
My man is standing in the toilet
"Capitalism requires [unsupported assertion]"
@Machinimal a shit neighbor?
capitalism is the idea that greed can be good
Someone is wasting someone's time here <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Capitalism requires the maximization of profit, if you cant compete then you Re left in the dust
@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) it has its benefits. Capitalism is a wolf. It'll consume you if you don't chain it properly.
>not pursuit of profit
>maximization of profit
<:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>
it was a typo obviously
But the longest chain makes it most effective while limiting your harm
it is the pursuit of profit
to maximize it
new markets means more profit
