where the minimum wage is like 20 dollars

2018-03-08 08:40:15 UTC  

conservatives are right wing

2018-03-08 08:40:39 UTC  

but as a former economics major

2018-03-08 08:40:50 UTC  

I think that under a modified capitalism

2018-03-08 08:40:59 UTC  

we can maximize overall utility

2018-03-08 08:41:09 UTC  

on the expence of others

2018-03-08 08:41:11 UTC  

and shouldn't maximized happiness

2018-03-08 08:41:17 UTC  

be the primary goal of the government?

2018-03-08 08:41:35 UTC  

I'd rather be the world be happier as a whole and progressing towards greater levels of happiness

2018-03-08 08:41:45 UTC  

than any other situation

2018-03-08 08:41:55 UTC  

@Deleted User this image is wrong

2018-03-08 08:42:09 UTC  

just because something isn't communism doesn't make it capitalism

2018-03-08 08:42:12 UTC  

how so

2018-03-08 08:43:01 UTC  

nearly all the worlds contries are capitalistc

2018-03-08 08:44:07 UTC  

just because the majority of the world is capitalistic

2018-03-08 08:44:21 UTC  

doesn't mean that anything not considered capitalistic is communism o.o

2018-03-08 08:44:34 UTC  

that is true

2018-03-08 08:44:55 UTC  

could be monarchy aswell

2018-03-08 08:44:59 UTC  

or socialism

2018-03-08 08:45:02 UTC  

communism requires all property to be owned by the populace

2018-03-08 08:45:23 UTC  

but in reality you can even have an in between situation

2018-03-08 08:45:42 UTC  

you cant

2018-03-08 08:45:54 UTC  

socdem is still capitalistic

2018-03-08 08:45:59 UTC  

nonono, in theory you definitely could

2018-03-08 08:46:04 UTC  

extreme example

2018-03-08 08:46:12 UTC  

but if half the means of production were publically owned

2018-03-08 08:46:18 UTC  

and the other half was privately owned

2018-03-08 08:46:20 UTC  

communism isnt just public property its a non-market economy

2018-03-08 08:46:33 UTC  

you cant fuse a market economy with a use-value economy lol

2018-03-08 08:46:43 UTC  

that wouldn't fall into communism or capitalism 🤔

2018-03-08 08:46:59 UTC  

it wouldnt be an inbetween is what i am saying

2018-03-08 08:47:02 UTC  

@herb for instance i would not say zimbabwe is capitalist

2018-03-08 08:47:09 UTC  

it is tho

2018-03-08 08:47:11 UTC  

i'm not saying it would be in between communism and capitalism

2018-03-08 08:47:21 UTC  

how is it not

2018-03-08 08:47:22 UTC  

i'm saying that it wouldn't fall into either category

2018-03-08 08:47:28 UTC  

no, the government took the property of people based on their skin color

2018-03-08 08:47:37 UTC
