Like I said, I accept the status quo

2019-09-02 18:40:33 UTC  

I'm not a delusional AnCap, I just like the ideology

2019-09-02 18:40:54 UTC  

^my opinion on Anarcho- communism

2019-09-02 18:40:58 UTC  

People who ask for UBI are straight up communists

2019-09-02 18:40:58 UTC  

The legitimate role of the state is to protect its citizenry from outside threats, through means of a system of objective laws and judiciary, to be the arbiter of last resort for it's citizens arguments, and to provide services as dictated by a voting majority

2019-09-02 18:41:08 UTC  

Taxation is a means of paying for it

2019-09-02 18:41:22 UTC  

Yes yes bla bla spare me that, I know the government has its function, that's not the issue

2019-09-02 18:41:26 UTC  

reee muh social contract😜

2019-09-02 18:41:33 UTC  

If government has a function then it has to be paid for

2019-09-02 18:41:49 UTC  

That's why I'm saying I accept the status quo

2019-09-02 18:41:51 UTC  

is welfare a legitimate function of government though? thats debatable

2019-09-02 18:42:03 UTC  

it falls into the third argument of that, agonizes

2019-09-02 18:42:08 UTC  

i mean, welfare states have only existed for like, 50 years

2019-09-02 18:42:11 UTC  

You don't need to convince me the taxes, as things are right now, aren't gonna go away

2019-09-02 18:42:22 UTC  

I'm not gonna try to abolish taxes, I know it won't happen

2019-09-02 18:42:23 UTC  

that's not what i'm trying to convince you of

2019-09-02 18:42:28 UTC  

only two things are certain in life: Death, and taxes

2019-09-02 18:43:10 UTC  

I just want socialists to back off and stop for a second

2019-09-02 18:43:13 UTC  

They have done enough damage already

2019-09-02 18:43:25 UTC  

ubi isn't socialist

2019-09-02 18:43:28 UTC  

I dont mean what i said was a good idea, just a fun thought experiment.
No usefull people would be on ubi because they would be bought or get a job, who would buy a cripple/useless person as a slave?

2019-09-02 18:43:28 UTC  

Yes it is

2019-09-02 18:43:32 UTC  

no, it isn't

2019-09-02 18:43:37 UTC  

Holy fuck

2019-09-02 18:43:53 UTC  

the purpose of ubi is not to make everyone's outcome the same, nor is it to nationalise the means of production

2019-09-02 18:43:55 UTC  

Ok explain to me how UBI is capitalist, or neither capitalist nor socialist

2019-09-02 18:44:13 UTC  

Ubi is just a way of redistributing money

2019-09-02 18:44:13 UTC  

the purpose of ubi is a pragmatic alternative to the current arrangement of welfare + tax allowances

2019-09-02 18:44:22 UTC  

nothing capitalist or socialist about it

2019-09-02 18:46:10 UTC  

I have read the dictionary definitions of socialism enough times to know what it means

2019-09-02 18:46:15 UTC  

so you're against people working now, since that's a means of distributing capital

2019-09-02 18:46:22 UTC  

Redistribution of wealth is one of the two main ideas of socialism

2019-09-02 18:46:39 UTC  

Socialism has two pillars that it rests on to be socialism

2019-09-02 18:46:55 UTC  

1) Collectivization of the means of production
2) Redistribution of wealth

2019-09-02 18:47:13 UTC  

UBI = redistribution of wealth

2019-09-02 18:47:26 UTC  

Ive debated this with you before, not doing that again😄

2019-09-02 18:47:31 UTC  

Yeah cause you lose

2019-09-02 18:47:34 UTC  

I know my shit

2019-09-02 18:47:41 UTC  

lol

2019-09-02 18:47:44 UTC  

lets keep it at: agree to disagree
