>how are markets and the exsitence of capital superior than central planing?
srsly? we had examples of central planning and it was quite evident it didnt work so well

2019-07-27 19:37:38 UTC  

at least compared to free market

2019-07-27 19:38:16 UTC  

that's not an anwser to the question

2019-07-27 19:39:24 UTC  

because a market is way too complex to model and predict we cannot do that, it works better largely unregulated

markets dont' exsist in socialism

2019-07-27 19:41:12 UTC  

oh alright then how do you do anything then

2019-07-27 19:42:09 UTC  

free markets have unquestionably increased global production many times over, and increased the living standards of millions of people who used to work the fields for feudal landlords. but just like technological advancement moves ever onward, so must society continue to move forward, and socialists believe that capitalism is an outdated system. I do not believe that capitalism is the final mode of production, and I believe that capitalism has to be replaced by a superior system. c0apitalism is politically, economically, and ecologically unsustainable

2019-07-27 19:42:13 UTC  

how do you do what?

2019-07-27 19:42:43 UTC  

my point is capitalism is unrivaled in pure wealth creation

2019-07-27 19:43:02 UTC  

stop right there

2019-07-27 19:43:03 UTC  

and I want people to be wealtyh

2019-07-27 19:43:31 UTC  

that's exactlly what capitalism is about, creating profit and accumulating capital

2019-07-27 19:43:46 UTC  

beacouse it maximizes profit and minimizes spending

2019-07-27 19:44:08 UTC  

do you know who's in the spendid area? people like workers

2019-07-27 19:44:31 UTC  

Thing is, if you want your nation to gain profit, you don't need a capitalist economy

2019-07-27 19:45:03 UTC  

socialists states made profit with which they operated in a capitalist global economy

2019-07-27 19:45:23 UTC  

and give me an example of such thing, which non capitalistic nation has managed to keep up growth

2019-07-27 19:46:14 UTC  

all socialist states remained woefully poor while some capitalist states went from being one of the poorest in the world to one of the richest(South Korea)

2019-07-27 19:46:17 UTC  

USSR, PRC, Vietnam, PRL, RSR, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria,

2019-07-27 19:46:48 UTC  

gee i wodner how teh soviest turned russia from an agrarian feudalist state to an industrial superpower

2019-07-27 19:47:02 UTC  

>remained poor

2019-07-27 19:47:05 UTC  

who was poor

2019-07-27 19:47:08 UTC  

the people?

2019-07-27 19:47:28 UTC  

there people in every state taht die of hunger, medical bills, debts, can't afford a house

2019-07-27 19:47:45 UTC  

but in all those examples beyond creating some heavy industry the growth stalled

2019-07-27 19:48:08 UTC  

ok soo if the growth stalled shouldn't the natiosn just collapse economiclly?

2019-07-27 19:48:19 UTC  

liek in a coupel of years by your logic?

2019-07-27 19:48:20 UTC  

no

2019-07-27 19:49:26 UTC  

im not saying that no growth is inherently bad but im just comparing two models in their efficacy at wealth creation

2019-07-27 19:49:46 UTC  

also yeah most of these collapsed so uhmm

2019-07-27 19:50:38 UTC  

gee i wonder if you could give a reason why the marxsist-leninist states of the 20th ceuntry are no longer around

2019-07-27 19:50:48 UTC  

wh ywoudl you want to create "wealth"

2019-07-27 19:50:55 UTC  

what's this "wealth" you're speaking of

2019-07-27 19:51:01 UTC  

you mean, make more money?

2019-07-27 19:51:02 UTC  

its not the matter of my argument

2019-07-27 19:51:11 UTC  

I'm just saying, capitalism is better at wealth creation

2019-07-27 19:51:18 UTC  

in order to make more money you maximize profits and minimize spendings

2019-07-27 19:51:24 UTC  

yeah
