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

2019-07-27 19:48:08 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

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

2019-07-27 19:51:34 UTC

2019-07-27 19:53:20 UTC  

i wodner who could that be

2019-07-27 19:53:41 UTC  

someone that benefits form teh system of worker's exploitation in order to infinietlly accumulate profit for their own use.........

2019-07-27 19:53:46 UTC  

but what are they called?!

2019-07-27 19:53:56 UTC  

i realise that there is a big problem that capitalism generates wealth mostly for the richeset but my point is, if you dont have that then you dont have any wealth to speak of in the first place

2019-07-27 19:54:09 UTC  

"capitalism generates wealth mostly for the richeset"

2019-07-27 19:54:14 UTC  

you need some wealth in the first place to then redistribute it equally

2019-07-27 19:54:17 UTC  

who is it supposed to generate profit for?

2019-07-27 19:54:25 UTC
