you don't have to force people to pay anything for the goods you create

2018-07-29 14:47:12 UTC  

if you don't rely on exchange to acquire your neccesities

2018-07-29 14:47:18 UTC  

only in a market economy friend

2018-07-29 14:47:23 UTC  

it's not the only way things can be

2018-07-29 14:48:20 UTC  

A market economy is a system whereby you exchange your labor power for money which allows you to purchase your necessities in a free market

2018-07-29 14:48:36 UTC  

but the only free thing about the market is who you buy from, you are not free to NOT use the market

2018-07-29 14:48:55 UTC  

maybe if everyone calls your posts bait then it's time to reconsider your life choices

2018-07-29 14:49:08 UTC

2018-07-29 14:49:59 UTC

Capitalism evolved around the early enlightenment period i believe as cities became more important trade and financial centers and a class of wealthy and influential merchants and investors emerged and more and more working people migrated to the cities.

2018-07-29 14:50:05 UTC  

truly intellectual

2018-07-29 14:50:35 UTC

2018-07-29 14:50:44 UTC  

enlighten us, oh big-brain man

2018-07-29 14:51:00 UTC  

nonsense

2018-07-29 14:51:07 UTC  

mesopotamia was a planned economy

2018-07-29 14:51:14 UTC  

everything was set by the ruling class

2018-07-29 14:51:21 UTC  

oh is this that libertarian "capitalism is when you are free and shit" bullshit?

2018-07-29 14:51:21 UTC  

how much wheat you grow and how many shoes you make

2018-07-29 14:51:31 UTC  

was administrated by a bureaucracy

2018-07-29 14:51:35 UTC  

which we have evidence of

2018-07-29 14:51:38 UTC  

since they had writing

2018-07-29 14:51:42 UTC  

and we found artifacts

"The gods were thought to be present in the planning and execution of any building project and very specific prayers, recited in a set order to the proper deity, were considered of utmost importance in the success of the project and the prosperity of the occupants of the home."

2018-07-29 14:52:10 UTC  

mesopotamia was a theocracy

2018-07-29 14:52:30 UTC  

it was planned top-down to please the gods

2018-07-29 14:52:45 UTC  

>central planning is capitalist

2018-07-29 14:52:47 UTC  

Capitalism is defined by a market economy

2018-07-29 14:52:50 UTC  

not by money

2018-07-29 14:52:59 UTC  

oh so we're back to the whole "ideologies mean fuck all because I say they do"

2018-07-29 14:53:02 UTC

2018-07-29 14:53:18 UTC  

capitalism can have central planning now

2018-07-29 14:53:27 UTC  

Fuckin chinks, eh?

2018-07-29 14:53:54 UTC

2018-07-29 14:54:05 UTC

2018-07-29 14:54:18 UTC  

property is not capitalism either

2018-07-29 14:54:30 UTC  

"people owned property therefore capitalism"

2018-07-29 14:54:31 UTC  

you have property in socialism too

2018-07-29 14:54:43 UTC  

feudalism is capitalism I guess

2018-07-29 14:55:03 UTC
