@ManAnimal - Yeah, but even personal choices play a role.
Someone who lifts a lot, doesn't smoke, and works at FedEx will tend to be more productive than someone who sits on the couch when they get home and goes through a pack of cigarettes.
if gov or community comparmentalizes an activity so that money collected applies directly to a related activity, the market helps that social cause along
but it has to be done right
@Vir - The state can, and that would give the commies exactly what they want.
The problem is the state would fuck it up, and in the shitshow millions of people would starve.
and can't be used as a piggy bank
Wait your not @Lucienne d'Anwyl
I feel retarded now
no it would give the commies what they want. the most ruthless would be given control over millions without consequences
I like the complete lack of anyone with economics degrees, arguing about economics. Particularly mananimal
@ManAnimal you should mentor AOC on economics
There's nothing theoretically wrong with a socialist style system, which is why the support for such a system is most prevalent among the most educated classes.
The problem is always on the implementation side, which is why "common sense" types from the working class tend to oppose such a system. They're less focused on theory, and more on what happens every time it's tried.
Refine her into a real socialist
A REAL
yes there is
Socialist
Fucking lol
there is nothing right with a socialist style system
you end up with a permanent situation of 'get woke or go broke'
and you are FORCED to act like they want you to act
The more educated people are, the more they support socialism, because the theory is in fact sound.
That does not make it any less of a shitshow when people try it, because faulty socialism often has catastrophic results.
And there's the caps starting
capital seperates the person from the reward
Be prepared for caps every sentence
People are what's wrong with socialism, if we were all exactly the same then it would work
But then it would be boring
you mean the people with the least common sense (more educated)
@randomNPCno3 >taking the retard pill
"Socialism works in theory, people fuck it up"
Fuck off commie
@ManAnimal no, just people in general. Any difference of opinion spells the death of a successful socialist state
@ManAnimal - Educated people tend to be strong on theory, and their theoretical understanding interferes with more common sense perspectives.
It's like having a physics degree but not being able to throw or catch a ball.
both the nazis and soviets had more than their share of intellectuals that could prove why their way was correct
yup
That's why socialism will never work in reality because we aren't robots
Guys that’s a cool study ^^
@Reprehensibletrash I'm arguing against socialism
community as i call it is critical to balance the scale between the State and the Market
Having a physics degree won't help you on the field, if you cannot throw or catch a ball. That said, if you wanted to build a machine that would throw and catch balls better than any MBA player, then you're really looking for someone with a physics degree because you need them on your team.
This is why educated people often seem "out of touch." They're well aware of the theory, and they can use that theory to create truly wonderful things, but theory doesn't always help in practice.
In fact, sometimes the theory requires so much to go right that it can actually handicap them.
