socialist produce nothing

2018-10-16 12:12:31 UTC  

so workers are nonproducers?

2018-10-16 12:12:43 UTC  

workers toiling in sweatshops are nonproducers?

2018-10-16 12:13:24 UTC  

heard of the concept of surplus value?

2018-10-16 12:13:42 UTC  

and wheres the definition of socialism?

2018-10-16 12:13:59 UTC  

yea they produce and r exploited by these socilistic countries

2018-10-16 12:14:23 UTC  

so workers are exploited by socialists?

2018-10-16 12:14:35 UTC  

mate, at this point I don't even know what to say.

2018-10-16 12:14:55 UTC  

capitalism builds wealth based off the labour of the workers.

2018-10-16 12:15:30 UTC  

under capitalism your hired for your mere ability to work, not the actual labour you expend and the socially productive hours spent making said goods.

2018-10-16 12:16:21 UTC  

I'm not interested to hear the marriam-webster definition, I'm interested in hearing ***your*** explanation.

2018-10-16 12:16:51 UTC  

I want to know what ***you*** think is the definition of socialism, not some dictionary.

2018-10-16 12:19:36 UTC  

socialist think the state should run everything, and the state should take from producers and give it to the people who don't produce anything

2018-10-16 12:20:07 UTC  

wrong.

2018-10-16 12:20:23 UTC  

socialism is when the workers democratically own the means of production.

2018-10-16 12:20:46 UTC  

the state "running everything" is a fallacy.

2018-10-16 12:21:00 UTC  

by the way, what country r u from?

2018-10-16 12:21:41 UTC  

where did you get that assumption that socialism depends on the state running it?

2018-10-16 12:22:08 UTC  

I'm from Singapore, but that's irrelevant to the conversation.

2018-10-16 12:23:07 UTC  

because that is what socialists do

2018-10-16 12:23:10 UTC  

and no, we despise non-productive workers as much as capitalism.

2018-10-16 12:23:42 UTC  

the state "running everything" is state capitalism, not socialism.

2018-10-16 12:23:55 UTC  

i feel sorry for u having to live in a shithole

2018-10-16 12:24:04 UTC  

Singapore is a shit hole?

2018-10-16 12:25:04 UTC  

do you even know where Singapore is, or how successfull we have been?

2018-10-16 12:25:19 UTC  

it's clear that you are not informed on such topics

2018-10-16 12:25:37 UTC  

cognitive dissonance thrives in today's society.

2018-10-16 12:26:25 UTC  

you have made no arguments, your points were just circular reasoning.

2018-10-16 12:26:52 UTC  

Singapore is a muslim shithole

2018-10-16 12:27:20 UTC  

Muslim?

2018-10-16 12:27:32 UTC  

more than 80% of our population is Chinese.

2018-10-16 12:28:26 UTC  

and how is that working for u

2018-10-16 12:28:36 UTC  

fine.

2018-10-16 12:29:11 UTC  

our capitalism is upheld by morality and work ethics.

2018-10-16 12:29:36 UTC  

the corporations play no part in our government.

2018-10-16 12:29:46 UTC  

it isn't a corporatocracy unlike some states.

2018-10-16 12:30:47 UTC  

it was imperialism that caused the 2014 refugee crisis and created the entire problem.

2018-10-16 12:31:28 UTC  

when you engaged in imperialism against Iraq and Libya, most of the politicians of these former governments created ISIS when their countries fell apart.

2018-10-16 12:31:46 UTC  

and led to instability in the middle east.

2018-10-16 12:33:35 UTC  

Look it up. A good portion of ISIS members are ba'athists ans gaddafists.
