and looking at things like class is important in understanding how a society develops
if we're to look at capitalists for example
certainly individual capitalists are individuals with different interests and such
however they are all united by the fact that their position is predicated on being able to turn a profit
and insofar as they exercise power collectively the particular tastes of the individuals who comprise the group will tend to have far less bearing on how they do so than the interest that unites them by virtue of being part of that group
his wiki page apparently think he's a 'classical liberal'
California aka land was f hippo cryps and hypocrites
hmmmmm
Hey I'm pretty new to the server, what's been on the discussion table already?
I find it hilarious how people keep attacking you for being race-obsessed @UnScottable
But those same people wouldn't want to live in London or Malmö.
if you took a bunch of white people from west virginia and put them somewhere i wouldn't want to live there
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
@Machinimal chances are you dont know anyone from west virginia. also need i mention that roughly 7% of the population commits over 50% of all violent crimes <:trumpepe:588019356215279642>
it's even less than 7
i was being generous
also i've been to WV many times
it's a shithole
there's even people around where I live I'd rather not live near
wellll yk theres always some bad bunches of people. some groups just have a larger proportion of bad bunches when comparing them to population size
but certainly the problem in London and Malmo is *where* the people are from
plus the lack of enforcement
and the tolerance of bad behavior
not to mention we let drugs like meth and heroin
pour in from mexico and china
these peoples jobs are outsourced to china due to the cheaper labor
they then get hooked on opiates...
there's cartel towns in weird spots too now
in the enclaves that these people set up
not even just on the border
yup
Oh it's just friendly uncle Joe, he's harmless kids, go rub his leg
@Jokerfaic First, Classical liberal is a 'Right' aligned position, not socialist or communist, nor authoritative; the focus is on individual rights, and limited government. Second... internment camps are not of the left? Nazis, Russia, and China (even today), are all of the Left. In the US Camps have been used with the treatment of Native Americans, the Japanese during WWII, and though not true internment camps there are the facilities we use today for Illegals, developed by Obama. Democrat policies, all.
@Death in June I would say you are conflating capitalism with corporatism, though interpreting your phrases is muddied by the lack of punctuation. Perhaps you mean Greed, given the negative connotation as evident with the phrase of "turn a profit", which is misleading. Capitalism operates for profit, the accumulation of wealth, which can be services or goods and property, not just monetary gains. Greed has been present in all people, not just Capitalists or even Corporatists, since the beginning of Man. Furthermore, Capitalism is predicated on voluntary exchange, not $. I could go on at length about the innate flaws in your argument but its late so just reread the article without your bias. Lastly, on the middle class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-QfU8mOA7E
FreedomToons, good stuff they put out. John Doyle is also very good at explaining things.
when did I call classical liberalism communist?
can someone point that one out to me?
