Let's have a capitalism thread. Pro capitalists please come in and discuss. Socialists are welcome too so we can debate on the pros and cons of both systems.

I'll start with an obvious advantage of capitalism over socialism, that of the right to private property. It is impossible to preserve the liberty of the individual without a claim to ones own possessions and there is no benefit to your work if you do not own the fruits of that work.

In capitalism you are compensated for your work with the opportunity to create more wealth for yourself by becoming an entrepreneur and creating wealth for society.

In socialism you are not guaranteed any compensation for your work, you are simply expected to contribute to an imaginary "whole" or unified community that is actuality non existent and to make up for that non existent is enforced by the state, rendering "the whole" that everyone contributes to the state rather than society.

The number one flaw of socialism is its lack of a price system by which to efficiently allocate resources. And market socialism is no answer because there cannot be a market for land or the means of production in socialism, and thus no price formation can occur, unless you want some bureaucrat to pull numbers from his ass a la the Soviet Union.

Yes, and that is a simple truth of life, Life is a competition and there will always be winners and losers. Masters and slaves. Someone always has to do the work. The difference is that in capitalism you are compensated for your work and can choose to work or not and who to work for with the opportunity to become more by starting your own business.

In socialism you are forced by violence to work and contribute to the state.

I like the idea of nationalizing primary resources like oil or metal like in Nazi Germany.

That is true in all forms of life. One should work for their sustenance, anything else is a from of tyranny. However, capitalism creates so much wealth we can afford to feed our derelicts without their contribution to society.

Food stamps, food banks, missions, cheaper food stores.
No one starves in america or Europe who hasn't brought it on themselves.

In socialism they simply can't create enough wealth to feed their society.

Property can only exist through an authority, a state, to enforce that claim, whether it be the individual state or a national state.

No. They are the same. It's making land public property or state property. Socialism is the means of production are owned by the state, that's nationalizing. It does work, evidence is in Chile and Nazi Germany when they nationalized steal.

You can do that in socialism and have can accumulate more wealth because the corporate masters don't take it all.

In true capitalism there is limited currency. If there is limited currency it means a rich person getting more is taking it away from someone else. Investing gives you more money which takes it away from someone else.

As I said, capitalism creates enough wealth that we can afford to pay and sustain our non-productive citizens. Which we do in reality via food stamps and other forms of welfare.

And to correct you, socialism is the abolishment of private property, which translates to state ownership.

>You can do that in socialism and have can accumulate more wealth because the corporate masters don't take it all.

You can generate any wealth in socialism, all the wealth belongs to the state.
Exchange corporate master with socialist dictator.

Socialism generates a lot more wealth than capitalism. Capitalism only generates it for the 1% and even then it's not as productive because so many people are unemployed

It's not really jealousy (well maybe sub-conscienceless) but it's more wasteful. The rich own 90% of the money, imagine if that was invested in our benefit advancing science and building stuff for us. If the government controlled the means of production we would have to pay 0 taxes because that would be enough to generate money for the country. Another thing that should be nationalized is banks.

Well, a corporation is a form of monopoly which requires state backing to survive, that is why you didn't see corporations emerging before after Woodrow Willson got to power and started to centralise the government through the federal/national banking system.
So the first step to diminish the corporations will be to vote away the fed, we could have gotten a long way now had Ron Paul been elected in 2012 but then the left was obviously way too busy voting for more government through Obama which only grows the corporations

You are under the false impression that because your socialist dictator called his wealth he hordes form you "everyones" that it is actually yours.

22 thousand kids in africa are not the responsibility of capitalism.

You're suffering form an "superman resentment" complex. It's where when you see someone or some entity being successful you assume it is under the obligation to solve everyone else problems for them.

I see it a lot in the naive and in socialists and most of the left wing.

Because under true free market capitalism there is limited currency, usually based off gold. So if a rich person invests and gets richer than means there is less gold for other people. Unless the government continues to print money and give it to people from the bottom of the social chain the rich will always get richer.

And what if you invest in more gold mining?

Besides, I don't buy your claim that "true capitalism" relies on Gold-backed currency. If we all agree that a piece of paper has value, we trade it based off of the supply and demand of that paper.

Of course, printing, government inflationary policy and everything else is a completely separate issue from this.

Yeah but we won't exhaust supplies until we reach space, at which point we'll mine it from asteroids and so on.

If the gold supply runs out, then something else of value will replace it as currency-backing. Gold is not intrinsically special, it is just historically what we have chosen as a measure of wealth.

Except there's a bit of a problem. The cash is flowing more into the pockets of wealthy people than out. Investing just sets that back but in the long run they are getting more. Corporations make more money than they pay the employees. Eventually it will all dry up.

Stop falling for this meme. Yes a free market benefits everyone, but only when everyone has an equal opportunity to compete. A nation cannot just start with a free market. There has to be infant industry production and rewards for exporting a certain amount of product to other countries and world markets. These rewards make firms compete for the export subsidies. This coupled with a government that is honest in its trade policies and one that focuses on the development of the "little guys" in business leads to a better market.

Because the gubnment has placed such high levels of regulations on businesses that the costs of starting something new can only be covered by Goldberg instead of t. average burger. This includes restrictions, wage and labor laws, and permits/other shit.

Actually those are all failures of the banking system, not of capitalism. All of which can be resolved with more government regulation which I'm sure you think is a sign of socialism success since you wrongly associate anything government related to be socialism.

Yes I can magically create a job, and in fact that is how I sustain myself, I am self employed and an entrepreneur.

A real man takes responsibility, he questions himself before he questions his environment. he is self sufficient and proud.

Children blame their parents when they get in trouble for doing wrong, or they blame their teacher for failing a class.

most people do this, and most people fail at life.
>>
>>74786028

Another interesting thing you want to think about is the necessity of regulation. The "reason" I'm not allowed to sell hot dogs to five year olds on the street is because I might have poisoned them or otherwise using unsafe meat or whatever.

Rothbard had a good point, however, that fuck ups still happen (look at food poisoning epidemics in the past decade), but that nobody is held responsible. If business owners were financially responsible for any damage they caused on other individuals, they would take their customers' interests into account. A good example would be: If a building collapses, those who constructed that building should be tried for manslaughter of everybody who died in the building. Naturally, construction companies will regulate themselves properly to avoid this.

Reality is a lot more nuanced than that, but something to think about at least.

Africans don't have the starting money for that, and even if they did they couldn't compete with the goods dumped in their economy

>A real man takes responsibility, he questions himself before he questions his environment. he is self sufficient and proud.
A depressed person, a person with no esteem, or a nutbar blames himself. A real man looks where his problem is coming from and tries to eliminate it. If it's corporations he lobbys for more taxes on the regulation to stifle their growth. Blaming yourself is a sign of depression.

You say this like cheapness is the only thing that is competitive to a market with infinite types of goods and services.

Here is the fun thing, even if the markets were dominated by huge corporations, without barriers to entry it doesn't really matter. Why? Because the future of a market with many buyers and sellers is that every product becomes niche'.

Private individuals. Essentially (might be fuzzy here, been a while since I actually read what I linked you), you subscribe to a private court system and security force that protects your interests. Think about how there are different court systems for every country and state, and yet there aren't really any major issues with prosecuting criminals (well... It's as good as it gets).

Again, I can't explain it too well. I really recommend reading power and market. Just take it with a grain of salt. AnCap itself is probably as realistic as pure socialism (Not at all). I think minarchy is the way to go.

That's because corporations are not considered self employment, you mongoloid.

If I decide to sell shares of KekMemes, then I am no longer self employed, I am an employee of KekMemes.

Fuck, it's almost always to your benefit to corportize anyway; I own three corporations right now that are literally just

>I need to reserve this name. I will make 1000 shares, I need 11 other shareholders who will get one while I get 989

Eitherway, enjoy being poor.

I'm not a capitalist or a socialist. I'm a primitivist.

I believe advanced society as a whole is destructive and opposed to human nature. We were happier when we lived in close-knit tribes, surrounded by people we'd trust with our lives - working together for survival.

Being alive in the 21st century in a nightmare.

How can you people praise capitalism ?

I mean , if at least you really had a chance to climb the soclail ladder by working hard, but it doesn't even work like that .
You just have some shit illusions and you will always be at the bottom while the 1% owns everything and make some laws voted to get even richer .

It's not like you guys are praising the people who voted in 1913 the FED private bank stuff and since you have to pay taxes and your debt is growing bigger and bigger while destroying nature for just a shit economic growth lol .

Can't wait for this system to crash and just live a simple life of hunting / gathering

>let explain capitalism!
>explain market and exchange based economy
This is not what capitalism is.
Capitalism is basically capital => more capital, because property => profit and profit => property.
What people hate in capitalism isn't the rationality of the economy, the market and exchange, but the wealth inequality between who owns and who actually produces.

You get the money but with no accountability or knowledge to invest it.

And if those sands run dry, what then? Has your people owned business gained the experience or the know-how to find other resource or to establish new nodes?

Remember when racist africans kicked whites out of their countries but couldnt manage said farms and mines? Thats what youre gonna bring on yourself. Its like a chicken without a head.

Because abundance. Easy, maintainable abundance.

How can France/the UK even be taken seriously? This, despite Mississippi being less than 60% white and the UK being more than 80% white. What a disgrace.

Under socialism, what incentive is there to achieve greatness when the fruits of my labor will be redistributed into (stolen by) a society that makes the same wages as I? Capitalism is the reason surgeons make 6 figures and burger flippers make 10k-20k yearly.

You dont groom creative thinkers or driven people with socialism. Its simple laziness. I find it ironic that American liberals shun dark age catholicism for robbing us of scientific advances but put socialism on a pedestal when all it does make you swear loyalty to the people who rob your innovations from you.

My fathers side used to live in Russia and they were jealous of the dumbest shit. My dad had a toy car that he had to keep hidden. If he was found out my grandparents would have been shipped to the gulag.

The second-largest company in the world by market cap (Google) didn't even exist 20 years ago.

It was created by two students on a university campus.

Regardless, most businesses are small businesses. You can start a snow plowing business in Canada, I don't think the big bad corporations are out to get you.

That was due to a tech boom. Technology is basically done advancing because corporations would rather make themselves richer than advance science.

If you have an Internet connection and the will to learn, you can educate yourself on the latest material. Don't sell yourself short. While it's not the same as a degree that says you've learned core materials and can understand how to learn new things, if you showed up to a high school/uni/etc. and you know all of the material, they wouldn't want anything else than to get you in there with little to no cost to the student because they believe that after you're certified as educated, you might be able to give back when you really start going places.
But even without, look at what is still marketable in society, especially things that can reduce or remove human error. What about physical protection of what you actually have with locks as to keep burglars at bay? There's also been some teenager that wanted to implement cctv or something similar in airplane cockpits for less than a hundredth of the cost of what airlines would pay otherwise and proved it was possible by creating a working version on the budget of your average joe. Again, it all comes down to you both/either not wanting or being able to see what can emerge or improve different areas of human life or defeating yourself before you start

I wasn't trying to make an empirical claim. You were, which is why I pointed out that you have no evidence to support any of your retarded ideology.

Well no, EU subsidized farmers dump their surplus in Africa and aid programs dump food in Africa which crowds out the local farmers and causes starvation during less overproduction in Europe. This has to do with statism, not capitalism. Planned economies are literally one of the staples of socialism.

Is opening a restaurant that hard in Leaf-land?

Take out a loan, buy out a lot and start making money. Then invest it into other things. Buy out a complex and rent to people.

In the end you'll be able to live the rest of your life on vacations. You can live the yacht life too.
