wtf

resources are not meaningful outside of their ability to sustain life

you some kind of commie faggot

yes they are lmao

not necessary is a better word

they generate further ability to operate and expand what you want in life from business to family

material expansion is the wrong kind of striving

in a metaphysical sense of course

Material expansion allows a society to have greater power than rival societies

nothing wrong with just living ur life

From an a prior standpoint they don't have intrinsic value as they're presumed. They're benefit derives from their use. In this context, capitalism =/= commerce and industry but something more specific.

you keep viewing this as a material expenditure due to your personal use

^^^^

a true capitalist reinvests in further items that generate revenue not a fucking material piece of shit brand name

@Mayor of Fashtown if you are defining your society solely upon its power and its material expanse then you are doing it wrong

there's ground for agreement between both positions.

So much this @Vanguard

@Moosey its not a zero sum game

there is a middle ground but its being framed incorrectly assuming that you invest buy yo nigga ass some ray bans or something

If we define the act of expansion itself as something to strive for then collapse is inevitable

From a philosophical position you're describing maybe mercantilism or commercial enterprise rather than capitalism itself though.

Expansion and acquisition of resources for the in group is the heart of nature itself

why is it inevitable?

There is a fine line between the natural survival need and greed

@skooks I'm speaking historically

infinite expansion under conditions of scarcity is impossible in material sense. Not the only sense in which capital operates though clearly.

So what be afganistan?

Actually the white race specifically evolved to seek excess materials for survival in downtimes rather than live at bare minimums

I understand that empires have ollapsed, but is that solely because of their expansion?

Not only so but it is a major facotr

Living bare minimum day to day is an implicitly nigger mindset

not being greedy doesn't mean foregoing excess

Empires collapsed because empires are made of many ethnic groups brought together by force

Nations /= empire

Nation is blood and soil

Nations last, typically, until another nation fucks their shit up

But what is the delineation between reasonable excess and greed and who decides that

That is the fundamental question that we have to face all the time
