well ideally
legal power of what?
socialism is democracy at its purest
the people decide what they want, not some ceo or a bureaucratic elite
You know personally thats why i dont like it, Americas good as a republic, its a republic not a democracy. People like being a CEO, having legal roles of importance, reputation, and a benefit of money. Nothing wrong in it
What I mean by legal power, well not illegal power - such as a Mobster Don lol
Pelosi should resign to save the Democrat party.
there isnt, a ceo can offshore jobs, because capitalism at its purest and empirical form is a economic system run on logic and mathematics, not for the general good of the people
ceo, importance, they would be incidental really
when we achieve post scarcity
Well its human nature
not incidental
Really want everybody to be cooped up, basically having no importance, a representative, distinction. People arent gonna want it, I guarantee it
the human nature argument is one of the most fallacious I have heard, there's a important distinction between human nature and human behaviour
Socialism bets against human nature. Capitalism relies on it.
when you have this dog-eat-dog attitude to chase for profits obviously people are going to be greedy
@Fere Nemo no, it's a fallacious argument
Read Peter kropotkin
***reads book***
nope
he clearly shows how humans can work together for the general good without the idea of a profit motive, this is clearly classed by him
sounds like a nice idea, on paper lol
***o wait, where have I seen this before***
when you cultivate people to contribute idea to work for the general good, people will be more inclined to be less inclined to be bother with profit and the betterment of society, that isn't the case today because we have this dog-eat-dog nature
Humians MIGHT work togather for the common good, but they MIGHT just as well camair rouge. Historically, it favors camair rouge.
no, it depends on societal norms and behaviour, if you have that behaviour instilled in you your much less likely
it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how and when
but in a sense it does lower opportunity
Sure. but I'll roll my dice for capitalism.
admit or not, it does
no, you would have greater opportunities under socialism lol
its on you whether you say it matters
Greater opportunities you say
you depend on your own capital under capitalism to demonstrate your innovation, under socialism you don't need your own capital, the state or the people will accommodate you with industrial power and information
and if your business fails, you don't carry a huge load of debt you can't pay off
hell you wouldnt even have a business to begin with
not business really, new ideas and innovation
at most you would own a very small business under socialism
Look. I think either system would work if people would do their jobs; it's just that they wont, and capitalism is more tolerant of deviants.
seems pretty limited to me
