Marxism has no economy

2018-10-05 12:50:22 UTC  

This is why Hayek calls it hubris. There's no conceivable way that a central authority can know the intimate details of every transaction to the point where they aren't throwing darts at the proverbial board

2018-10-05 12:50:29 UTC  

this is why all those commie people / ideas in business always fail

2018-10-05 12:50:32 UTC  

Entirely blind lol

2018-10-05 12:50:35 UTC  

Well, what if there was?

2018-10-05 12:50:42 UTC  

Have you guys seen Death of Stalin. lol

2018-10-05 12:50:43 UTC  

Let's say we have enough computing power to do so.

2018-10-05 12:50:53 UTC  

Let's write a computer program that perfectly allocates resources.

2018-10-05 12:50:53 UTC  

I've been tempted to go watch it

2018-10-05 12:50:58 UTC  

The Marxist Dream Machine!

2018-10-05 12:50:59 UTC  

I can't argue on the base of "what if there was"

Cuz you can apply that to anything

"What if there was no corruption"

2018-10-05 12:51:00 UTC  

But I don't really watch movies much

2018-10-05 12:51:04 UTC  

It's like a classic Monty Python film.

2018-10-05 12:51:09 UTC  

There's even a python in it.

2018-10-05 12:51:12 UTC  

What would it do? It would just end up simulating a free market economy.

2018-10-05 12:51:22 UTC  

A complete redundancy.

2018-10-05 12:51:32 UTC  

Well no, they want the ability to curb stuff they don't like

2018-10-05 12:51:36 UTC

2018-10-05 12:51:40 UTC  

That's the whole point of it

2018-10-05 12:51:41 UTC  

And, anyway, we use plenty of algorithms to predict market prices already.

2018-10-05 12:51:54 UTC  

Yes, but stuff they don't like is part of the market.

I don't like that people spend hundreds of dollars on a Britney Spears concert.

2018-10-05 12:52:19 UTC  

But that's not a failure of capitalism.

2018-10-05 12:52:28 UTC  

It's a moral failure.

2018-10-05 12:52:38 UTC  

It's your mom's failure.

2018-10-05 12:52:39 UTC  

Lol

2018-10-05 12:52:40 UTC  

No disagreement there.

2018-10-05 12:52:46 UTC  

😨

2018-10-05 12:52:50 UTC  

You can't talk about me mum like that.

2018-10-05 12:52:52 UTC  

Take it back.

2018-10-05 12:52:55 UTC  

people spending hundreds of dollars on Britney Spears concert is capitalism at work

2018-10-05 12:52:56 UTC  

Actually, that's one of the things people miss.

2018-10-05 12:52:59 UTC  

Okay, I take it back.

2018-10-05 12:53:03 UTC  

>moral
It's just shit taste

2018-10-05 12:53:04 UTC  

We spend more on entertainment than healthcare.

2018-10-05 12:53:05 UTC  

Phew.

2018-10-05 12:53:10 UTC  

But somehow healthcare is the problem.

2018-10-05 12:53:12 UTC  

Your mom is a powerful and strong womman. Stunning and brave.

2018-10-05 12:53:23 UTC  

Its the very definition of capitalism,

People work, put in labor, and get paid,

And then spend that money on what THEY wanna spend it on.

Free market at work

2018-10-05 12:53:30 UTC  

I am Canadian so I disagree with that assessment
