Humans tend to suck. The internet is just this presented in a hyper way. Layers of obfuscation created by the consuming of technology.. What's so grea...
Yes, but no one's going to give up the technology once they have it. You can prevent future humans from living through what you are describing though....
Ah yes, please enlighten me on your obviously objective version of a definition that is inherently a whole litany of aspects.. private ownership of ca...
Every definition is a variation of the same thing. Private ownership, free markets, etc. Just because you have a pet definition, doesn’t change the ge...
Agreed. But sometimes regional management makes the wrong decision. Then what? He can still override. Regional managers can tell people to come into w...
How so? Look at Chernobyl.. Eek.. Comrade.. do this..Should we? I don't know how? Comarade, do it or else... Haha very true! Ok, so what does he say a...
Agreed, but I think this is leaving out something major.. That is to say, small businesses at their early phases are run a lot by the owners (though n...
Got me. He is doing them a favor.. During COVID, you need exactly someone liberal enough to be a release valve..It's exactly crises like these that ar...
Not to derail my own thread, but this is wrong because not experiencing joy is not good or bad if no one is around to know. PREVENTING bad when one is...
I mean, it's not that hard to understand to me. Marx didn't predict that the government could be so involved in stop-gaps (think FDR in the Great Depr...
Absolutely not my position at all. Putting someone else in a situation that experiences hardship is just wrong, period. Hence my antinatalism. I don't...
Understood. So I guess the best means to communism is let capitalism do its thing, cause it will just "get" there one day. I think @"Maw" had some goo...
Yeah man, I consider life and ALL working arrangements unjust. I think the issue lies in a much more fundamental problem with putting more people in a...
Barring corruption (which is its own problem), what is inherently wrong with owning the means to produce products and services if you got it with your...
I think our current system doesn't show the avenues very well for how one can become their own business owner. In the 18th and 19th century, it really...
I think your best argument here is that individual ideas belong to the community.. but you should back that up with more argumentation because that is...
How would a business legitimately form in your opinion? It sounds to me that it would be just as impersonal as today.. Some big thing X (capitalist in...
Granted that the owner wants to make as much profit as possible, if we go back to the great "chain of being" in his company.. Isn't it fair in a certa...
Small businesses may not necessarily be in the category of , but are more likely to be than larger ones.. Looks like small businesses (less than 500 e...
But the capitalist side will just say that the reason the capitalist is the capitalist (barring CEOs that are just figurehead types or inherited wealt...
Yes, I am just trying to get at, how a socialist regime solves anything different than a capitalist one.. It sounds like you're saying that a socialis...
I'd like to know, what makes one person able and willing to be an owner, and another only able to work for them? @"Bitter Crank", I think this gets to...
I guess Bitter, what I am getting at is, in a socialist world, it seems that because it is run by the same human personality-types, and because the fu...
Though there's nepotism, isn't that how we do things now? Those who went school for X (doctor, lawyer, engineer, programmer) get the benefits of Y mon...
Just wondering how would technology and products and services be distributed in your world? Right now it starts with the business owner employing work...
I think perhaps the point for hardcore socialists is that this economic model would be best to alleviate these things. The indifference, cruelty, and ...
But the argument isn’t that they’re deserving of rewards for already having money but due to their efforts to initially grow their business, they dese...
I’d like to see how people like @"Bitter Crank" and@"StreetlightX" answer this type of response. I think the left tends to disregard this kind of resp...
Granted, I'd agree with all of this.. I think maybe my use of CEO was misleading throughout here. Let's pretend it is simply a business owner.. The CE...
Why are yo so dismissive? Because I am giving you the other side? Ridiculous. Looks like Bitter Crank did the heavy lifting for you anyways.. Not my f...
You said this.. I gave examples of a single person coming up with an idea and capital and then growing it such as here: and here What about those kind...
You always answer like this. Sad, since I genuinely wanted to see your response in particular. This last post directly answered your notion that only ...
@"Ciceronianus" @"frank" @"Xtrix"@"Albero" @"Raymond" @"praxis", I am actually more in sympathy with you than certainly @"NOS4A2" position here. I am ...
Granted, but the start of a corporation will say something like the following: Do you know how to manufacture X? Did you know how to bring together th...
Is surplus theory of value going to convince someone who is able to go on a vacation and BBQ and own a house that the CEO is so bad? The only thing th...
@"StreetlightX" did have an intriguing response: Sure, and this is what kings and lords said to their serfs too - and they were largely right. Which i...
Can you elaborate on those principles? From that quote I can see basically that no hierarchies are crucial to your beliefs. What would you say to the ...
Oh c'mon StreetlightX, you can do better than a red herring. Yes, I have strong antinatalist ideas.. If you look between the lines, that whole scenari...
Ok, so what is your position? All I know is that you believe in taking away capital as it currently is, and that you don't want to discuss what your v...
The CEO of a small tech company gets paid $2 million. The head developer gets paid $300,000. A mid-level developer and R&D personnel $150,000. The tec...
You contradicted yourself.. "A change of regime of property" would unravel these things. Not philosophical? Hardly. It is simply observation of what w...
