Yeah the obscene wealth doesnt trickle down because people are corrupt and that much money allows for so much influence why would they willingly part with any of it?
Actual wealth from succesful small businesses or even small businesses turned big can and will trickle down in a sense that the growth of the business leads to more jobs, bigger market etc. But once you reach a certain point, it stops trickling down cuz the people who can make that much money are probably Jews and whatever basically just terrible people who hog a shit ton of money for influence purposes - see Jewish elite ie Rothschilds

But they DO do that. Do you think money that is put in a bank just sits there like some Scrooge McDuck type safe? When you put money into a bank it is *always* invested into other things in order for the bank to gain a profit.

Fun Fact from the Netherlands:

There used to be a Personal budget for the (mentally) disabled and handicapped. This budget contained E15 000 for them to spend at will on extra healthcare(not on other things obviously).

YES, our government gave downers en schizo's 15 grand each year and expected them to spend it wisely. Of course in no time all sorts of fishy budgetbureaus popped up like mushrooms to help them spend their money.
They would think, as far their capacities would let them, their bills for physiotherapie and medication were being paid for by these mediators, often this was not the case. The money would all dissappear god knows where and these mentally disabled people were left with a HUGE debt.

Last year it was decided that they would find a different system for making sure the disabled would get their care that was a little less sensitive to fraud.

I still can not get over the fact that someone thought it was a great idea to give mentally disabled people the oppurtunity to buy their own healthcare. Hell, the whole reason they need that healthcare is because they can not take care of themselves. These are the kind if people that can not even manage to put on some clean underwear every morning.

Everyone's at fault.

It starts with our government, for subsidizing these loans to take place. (They took money from our taxes to give to banks who in turn used it to give to common people...)

The banks (aka rich people) just took advantage of the situation (free money from the government). Yes they are at fault for being greedy assholes without thinking about how it would affect future generations.

The common people also took advantage of the situation (essentially being allowed to own an expensive degree, car, home without having to pay for it first, or having the ability to ever pay for it). Many are/were too stupid to realize you can't pay off a loan on a 200K house, 50K degree while making only 30K a year.

So yes, rich people are at fault, but I think the blame lies more closely with human nature and our inability to see the consequences of our actions.

Cmon famalam, no need for revisionism.

"Supply side economics" in which an increase of supply (less taxes on the wealthy / business owners allowing them to put more money into their business) would drive down prices / increase the standard of living and thus 'trickle positive effects down' was central to 80s republican economic theory.
>>
>>71641528
And you know, everything that came out of that. Like for instance a wider consumer base for shit like cell phones, more money spent on them, more of that money going to R&D of commercializing new tech, more people to use things like the internet, excess money to spend on it, more jobs created because of it...

Point is, you're an idiot. Maybe try reading about basic economics, bud.

Obvios solution is to have an authoritarian government use its coercive powers to plunder the wealth and riches or the upper class elite in order to "fairly" distribute it out to the rest of us.

I couldn't care less about some richfag offshoring their accounts. If I was rich, I would do it to. You would too. And, above all, Redditfags would double down and probably move to the Cayman Islands or some shit. The answer is never more taxes and more government control.

no it isn't.

For example the largest private landowner in Britain is the Duke of Westminster, who is by no stretch of the imagination a businessman, and who inherited vast amounts of land and capital which he draws rental income from. They're parasitic rentier scum who don't provide goods or services that you would associate with most capitalist businesses, and taking their loot off them and putting it to productive ends would solve many of the social and economic problems our society faces.

>You want to drive business from your country?

I'm a socialist. I'm against capitalism. I want to reduce the opportunity for private captial accumulation as much as possible, depriving the capital-owning class of income and wealth and draining it's political power away, in favour of working class people.

If they want to leave they're welcome to, but they'll leave behind their property and their assetts, since we'll have no alternative bu7t to nationalise it to prevent the oligarchs assett-stripping the nation's resources.

If anyone could do it, it would be huge countries with vast resources and industry like China or the US. However, free trade is still preferable in the long term. Having a large economy/resource base of your own just offsets the damage. There are goods we need China for, like rare earth minerals. Prices will increase, and wages will not increase for the most part. We're talking a 10-15% mark up on most goods easily for a few hundred thousand jobs.

>Why has every large scale socialist experiment failed?

This is a meme. Failed on whose terms? Failed who? The Soviet Union collapsed, but socialism existed for hundreds of years before 1917 and continues to exist decades after the wall came down. Even in the Soviet Union, which I simply regard as an early failed attempt at socialism in deeply unfavourable circumstances, managed to turn a backward and provincial failed state and collapsed empire into a military and economic superpower within a single generation - it's collapse owed more to the events in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan than it did inherent failure of socialist economics. Same's true of China under the rule of the Communist Party btw.

The filthy bourgeoisie fear socialism succeeding, not socialism failing, cos socialism is a threat to their power.

I would argue capitalism fails for those who don't own capital, you could point to the billions of people in the world at risk of starvation and deprivation in spite of the fact we have enough material resources available to totally abolish poverty on a global scale if those resources were distributed properly. You can point to the aggressive redistribution of wealth away from the general population into the hands of a tiny elite, who number perhaps in the hundreds, but who own and control more wealth than the bottom 3.2billion people on earth combined. I would call the emergence of this ultra-rich elite, who are in perpetual power and can pass down their enormous sums of wealth to their kids, thereby recreating a form of neo-feudalism of hereditary wealth, a product of capitalism's failure.

It's also worth pointing out here that the early attempts to introduce captialist style economics in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries were all unmitigated disasters that were crushed by the feudal aristocracy, and that never deterred them, so I take inspiration from my capitalist forebears and keep plugging away until we win.

The idea behind it is since the wealthiest of the wealthy are able to control the outcome of elections (Hilary is the most relevant example) and laws, they are able to create a law system that unjustly fairs them. It would be comparable to the serf system of old Europe, where the monarch who controls the wealth also controls the laws

They are simply against the olagarchy that is currently in place, and this is the simple solution they came up with.

Marx and Engels, obviously. The political tradition I come from is basically the workers movement in Britain, the left-wing of the Labour party and ILP. Main political influences are Ralph Miliband, EP Thompson, much of the British New Left, post-Bennite stuff.

What about borders? I'm in favour of no borders but I see that as a state of affairs that will arrive gradually over time as the nation-state system withers away and dies, not something you can impose unilaterally. The sort of political settlements that borders were created by are coming undone so we'll see that gradually phase out, I have no doubt by the end of the century that borders will be mainly theoretical and free movement of people will be a reality, since the scale of immigration that's going to happen in the next 30 or 40 years (just in order for capitalism to function) is going to be way beyond the ability of any state to regulate.

They are the ones who make laws that allow companies to operate overseas and import their goods with little to no repercussion because they are bought off by those companies.

Nope, sadly it's sincere.

You think you have immigrants now? Have you seen the population demographics for Africa and the Middle-East? By the end of the century a country like say Nigeria is going to have the same population as the USA and Europe combined. The percentage of the world which is white and 1st world is declining rapidly. This causes great angst amonst people on here, I know I lurk here enough to see it. The processes driving it are nothing to do with the left but the needs of global capital, which wants a "free" market in human labour so it can reduce labour costs and maintain high profits and rate of return on capital investments.

>Thatcher nailed it with they would rather the poor were poorer

Well the poor are much poorer thanks to 30 years worth of neo-liberalism - the share of wealth going to those who work for a living has declined hugely when comapred to labour productivity.

On the other hand those who accumulate wealth via non-working means, ownership, rental income, property investments etc, have seen their share of the national wealth increase hugely, leading to the record breaking levels of inequality we currently have and also playing an important role in destablising the wider economy and leaving it vulnerable to crises and shocks.

None of this shit is true at all.

I mean one of the huge causes of the financial collapse in 2008 was because the government had mandated that banks issue loans to people that didn't have nearly enough credit to cope with that loan, thus causing a housing bubble which inevitably would collapse.

If you think giving loans to people who can't pay for them is "neo-liberalism" you're fucking retarded.

I'm not in favour of leaving the elderly to die in the streets. I'm into universal human dignity.

You take your EdgeLord Nihilism and run for election on that premise, and I'll counter it with the "We respect human life and dignity" position, which granted isn't quite as Edgy or Misanthropic as your point of view, but it's one that doesn't implicitly depend upon mass death and suffering and I reckon I could do quite well against you in any poll or election.

They must learn to save and become self-sufficient in their old age.

They have been left in this vulnerable position because of the very policies you promote.

Do you think none of them have friends or families to support them? Do you think no communities will step up to help them? You place all your faith in the evidently incompetent governments but none in humanity at all.

Compared to someone I hired, how much should I pay in taxes? I provided this man a job, so shouldn't he be paying me directly according to your logic? I am the sole member of society who provided him his means of income. Should he pay taxes to me directly, or to the feds, and how much more than me?

Denial.

>>71644584
>Are you really that surprised that when technology continuously gets more and more sophisticated, rich people make more money?

Why do the under-educated simpletons to lick the boots of capitalism always treat technology and capitalism as synonyms.

Technology that's designed in a capitalist economy will serve the interests of the dominant class - the capitalists. It will increase their wealth, that's what they design it to do. See as evidence the two pics I've linked to showing how the increase in Labour productivity has corresponded with a) a decline in the share of wages as GDP and b) a corresponding increase in corporate profits.

In a socialist society technology would be developed.

Technology is not some politically neutral process, it's something shaped and developed in accordance with political and economic pressures.

Real life is not a computer game, and you don't unlock items on your tech-tree over time.

There's such fear within people like you, like this yearning for a fixed, constant, rigid society where everyone knows their place, everyone has exactly the same monoculture, and any deviation from this provokes wails of angst and loathing.

Honestly I just feel bad for you guys, I wish you'd have had friends like me growing up instead of having to come to places like this.

It's not flawed, because they'll always vote for more welfare. If they vote anything else, they vote for something that's nationalistic or very right winged which is obviously not good for the immigrants, so they'll always vote pro-welfare parties (The left).

This is why the whole left-right divide and conquer strategy politicians use is extremely effective at the moment.

Look at my country for example, you got the left, and you got Wilders. That's it. (And I do seriously think that Wilders is controlled opposition.)
