how does competition work in socialist society
Yeah exactly
just out of curiosity
Humans are very competitive for a reason
Every species are
but humans are very competitive towards themselves
like actual question
i dont mean like that
i mean like
No I know what you mean
if we all are making the same amount of money
hm
Yeah I get it
well i just had a whole different thought
Not really
Humans have adapted to work
why would i want to be a doctor when i could be a pizza delivery boy and make the same amount of money
cooporation over competition. in titoism you could do something called profit sharing where the workers would help manage and organize eachother from different cooperatives.
Capitalism is human nature really
actual question
i dont kno much
Sure there are really good people who'd be a doctor instead but there's going to be a very low amount
this is why I say socialism assumes a very high number of resources and/or money.
well first you need capitalism
And that people act the same way
capitalism makes massive infrastructure and resources, then you would transition to socialism
@Diablo Don't take what he says about human nature for granted, there is evidence to suggest the contrary and if you accept Humans are the way he does then the argument for Socialism becomes much harder to justify.
well capitalism is easy to understand
Again, you're assuming the rich are bad and selfish and completely take every penny they get. They don't. They're the ones providing these jobs and paying their employees with their own money.
so humans adapt to it better
No just because things are easy to understand doesnt mean they can adapt better.
in some countries, people have a wage as low as $0.37
It's not about adaption since we've already adapted to this.
It's not really about human adaption since basically every species works hard to gain and to get pleasured
And that's typically through competition
And yes those are very unfortunate
which is why socialism would be even worse in countries that suffer poverty
capitalism is really easy to understand but over time poverty increases, the rich get richer, and the workers have less opportunities
What? No? Like I said the rich give out these jobs.
