Doing manual labor isn't innovative. You aren't "creating" anything, so to speak.
Wonder why people get paid 6 figures to put words into a computer? Because they're inventing shit that makes your life easier. Explain how a cashier deserves the same wage when I can literally go to a self checkout and do their job for them.
Fuck socialists. Fuck them to death.
No wealth is being "taken away" from anyone under capitalism. Celebrities and fame whores don't "deserve" to be rich, but it's the choice of the population to continue giving them money by buying their shit and feeding them attention.

It doesn't matter, because the actual belief of the left in $The_Current_Year is niggerism, which believes in taking money from white people who work hard and giving it to niggers who don't.

So you'd quit your job as an organizer if you earned 40k rather than 80k? Really? You'd really throw away a good job just because that is such an insult to you?
>>78978181
Why does anyone need to earn six figures?
>>78978520
Running a business isn't "innovative", either. It's just hiring people and doing paperwork. Innovation is what inventors and engineers do. Calling yourself an "innovator" because you hire engineers is like saying you're a programmer because you can use Microsoft Word.

No way dude, it TOTALLY makes sense that having a bunch of paper = being paid more paper for no reason!!! Being paid capital because you lent someone capital MAKES SENSE and ISNT STUPID!!! It MAKES SENSE that there are people who invest & dont produce a good or service yet are allowed to siphon goods and services out of the economy!!!! ITS SMART NOT STUPID!!!!!!!!!
>>78979301
So, in other words, you're going to complain when they have 40k, until they have 20k, then until everyone is paid the same and there's no incentive to put oneself in a position of accountability.

LOLS, I'm a manager, AND ITS QUITE HARD, you have to ensure upkeep is in check, you have to check on EVERYONE"S SCHEDULE, you need to ensure that each worker is growing and that they;re used in the most efficient manner, Also you need to ensure that all of the supplies needed has a secure source and EVEN a back up just incase. You also need to settle customer and employee disputes.
And those who made their businesses? I would assume the same thing with the manager EXCEPT IN A HUGE SCALE. That ability to organize individuals is a very valued skill, more so if your organizing thousands. Heck organizing 14 people is hard enough for me.

Realistically, some variation in wages is necessary for a society to function. But excessive variation is inefficient, since those with large amounts of money tend to hoard it and not put it back into the economy.
>>78979002
>Why does anyone need to earn six figures?
Because the work they do is hard enough that if they aren't paid six figures to do it, they won't do the work.
>>78975802
This so bad, rich kids will buy overpriced phones made with slave labour and destroy them just for fun. Then Libercuckians go on about muh hard work getting paid pennies from schlomo goldcorp and all the wealth goes to Chad son of Schlomo and so on for eternity.
The only problem with capitalism is mass immigration. Stop that and wages would go back to what they used to be 60 years ago and every one would be satisfied with there wages being fair

wages aren't determined by some agency. It's ultimately determined by supply and demand, Not enough workers who are capable of doing this very desired job, Then they have a big salary since more people compete to hire those individuals CAPABLE of doing that job.
If you would have a country that only makes engineers, Their salaries would be piss poor.
>>78975802
7/10. Made me reply. The workers are being paid less because they're replaceable. You don't reward people based on how much they've contributed, you reward them based on their value. The entrepreneur is invaluable. The entrepreneur takes risks that the normie plebs is unwilling to take. You'd think you would have Apple if Steve Jobs couldn't make billions? Why would he take such a risk if their is no reward. This is why every socialist society has always failed and never innovated, because you guilt the rich for being successful. And doesn't matter if it's "democratic" soliacism. You vote to use force, it's the same thing.

Anyone can do manual labor. Few have the cahones to take risks with billions of dollars and have to answer to stockholders for their decisions. Stockholders pay CEOs and other executives what they are worth on the open market. You could do an NFL style salary cap on CEOs, but they'd still be worth millions. Joe Sixpack at the plant can be replaced, and his wages reflect it.

In practice that isn't the case though. In the USSR, former business owners were persecuted and denied rights.
>>78980127
In any society, there will always be someone on top. Only difference is, in capitalism the person on top, has to, in some degree serve whom he sells to. Unless crony capitalism and mass corruption is involved.
In socialism this ends up being the policians whom will take extra cash for themselves, and as such, you are a slave to them.
Wanting to be on the top of the greasy pole is a given in any society and it's about creating a society that makes whomever is on the top have to serve those underneath to some degree, and the only system that does that, is capitalism.
>>78975802
Your thinking of corporatism.
Also you are adding wealth where there was none, this is why growth is important. I wish these CEOs were paid less and others paid more, its fucked up.

Socialism is the ideal political system. Anybody who disagrees is either a manipulative predator or a cuckold who likes being taken advantage-of. The vast majority of human problems emerge out of, or are reinforced by, material inequality.
The problem with socialism is its implementation. Abolishing capitalism is hard enough. but transitioning to a peaceful and equal society is much harder.

>>78975802
The primary problem is crony capitalism and the system that directly and indirectly supports it. You literally cannot setup a business of consequence anymore without a large amount of preexisting capital, which means most people simply have no ability to compete in the first place. Regulations and necessary infrastructure are just too pervasive. Even worse, we are seeing merger after merger after merger, so even those few companies that get to the top just get bought up and eaten by who they originally competed against.
Putting the causes aside, it's certainly true that there are people who don't earn remotely what they actually make.
>>78978520
This guy is right that unskilled manual labor is worth a lot less than many higher end jobs. The problem is there are also a large number of jobs that do earn a ton of money at the high end that aren't worth it either and essentially exist due to graft and corruption. This is worsened in that with our current job market, even if you do have a solid skill there are not enough jobs so they can pay you scut wages.
You can make an argument for going into one of those few areas where there is a lot of need for new workers and they will pay you a lot, but with the requirements for retraining, an ultimately limited field, and innate skill, there's no way every good worker can do that.
Bottom line, there are a ton of jobs out there that pay the employee far less than what they earn for the company just because they can. I'm not talking about reasonable profit margin less, I'm talking about "each hour you are putting in 50 dollars for the company and you are getting paid 12 dollars back."

The first person to accurately describe capitalism was Karl Marx, bro. Bastiat was way before him.
>>78981057
I suspect a lot of "captialist" countries are in a pretty bad spot currently, the European union is accused of having tons of regulations and tariffs on products which means for a new business to figure out if he breaks any regulations there he has to either hire someone or spend a lot of valuable time on it.
This strangles new competition. Everyone also has tons of debt.
I imagine something similar is in place those outside of the EU (like Norway or the USA)
I think the way to fix this is to get rid of a lot of chains that makes it difficult to start new business, as well as offer incentives to do so. But the people who have bought out congress probably won't allow such a thing.
I'm not surprised seeing pro-communist/socialist people show up because people fail to see the real enemy here, it's not capitalism, it's corruption. Capitalism is the best system there has ever been in history, and may very well ever be.

no, no. i think it could have worked but the reason they lost was because le hitler got too land-grabby. would it have worked if they'd stayed within their own borders? maybe. but a socialist society, even an inclusive nationalist version of it, is only as strong as its weakest links so either you kill them or you devolve into something unrecognizable over time.

it's a system that's designed to facilitate survival of the fittest through economic competition. it selects for economic success - over time, society adapts and becomes more capable at economic success and more inclined to pursue economic success.
socialism on the other hand is designed to repress survival of the fittest by eliminating economic competition.
however, it is impossible to repress the basic laws of nature. when society no longer selects for economic success, it starts selecting for other traits instead. that's why socialist systems grow shittier and shittier over time - they now select for corruption, ability to game the system, and political success. the people adapt to such a system, so over time the people as a whole become more prone to corruption and more inclined to abuse and exploit the system they're in.

he unified the people by rallying against foreign forces. that's what created the incredible motivation and determination which allowed germany to rise from the ashes of crushing defeat to the most powerful force on the continent within just 20 years.
without that crucual motivation and determination that every man can get behind, national socialism is not possible. and there is nothing else that can generate this fervor, this fanaticism, that the promise of righteous victory and reconquest of lost lands creates.

The only reason things like this happen is because of government's expanded influence in the economy. Smaller businesses would succeed more often were it not for pointless regulations, taxes, and the minimum wage. Corporations wouldn't be able to corrupt politicians for their own financial gain if the government had no power for the corporations to exploit in the first place.

That's not what I said. They had economic problems for reasons other than their economic system, and socialism proved insufficient to overcome those problems.
>The only reason things like this happen is because of government's expanded influence in the economy. Smaller businesses would succeed more often were it not for pointless regulations, taxes, and the minimum wage.
Some degree of regulation is necessary, to prevent competitors from being blocked from participating in the economy. If there's only one coal mine in town, and two steel mills, if the owner of one steel mill buys the coal mine and refuses to sell to the other steel mill, they'll have basically no practical way of obtaining coal.

OK first of most Americans don't know what socialism is, they confuse it with soviet communism.
Venezuela wasn't socialism, it was a bunch of corrupt politicians who hired from their own family and took all the money.
Socialism is basically like a silicon valley startup. People get together and make something, when it goes big they share the profits through shares.
Socialism is still the free market, it's just groups of individuals competing, like a co-op.
Like a village deciding to make one single product, they all share the profit, instead of one guy hiring the village and paying them the lowest wage possible.
Socialism works within capitalism.
The problem with communism is they had no mechanism to determine the value of goods like the free market does.
Socialism already exists in many companies in the US, these are always the best companies to work for cause they take care of their workers rather than treating them as slaves.

>>78985515
> mafia is basically a family that offers "protection"
Same as the government then?
The problem with that is that I think you mistake me for an anarchy capitalist, if someone hires a hitman to go and kill someone who works for an opposing company then the person and the hitman should both be arrested. Same thing with the mafia, if the Mafia with connections to Coke begin damaging the property of Pepsi, then the government should step in and do one of the tenants of its job ( to protect property ) and begin doing investigations with the hopeful conclusion that they arrest the perpetrators of this incident (the mafia)

You must define communism and socialism differently than I do. Venezuela has nationalized multiple major industries like oil and pisses their money away on welfare programs and """free""" commodities. This style of central planning is normally what people in the US consider socialism or communism, but I would like to hear your definition of the two so we don't talk around each other.

Same reason anyone else rises in society: they're power players. Power players understand people, and they understand how to organize people and play the power game in the world of people. That's valuable not just because very few people can actually play the game at any particularly advanced level, but because when you decide not to corral and monetize it you leave them to figure their own way to monetize. Power players find power, it's in their nature. They WILL rule your nations, they WILL exploit your systems, they WILL end up on top. Always to their benefit, and despite what people think, almost always to everyone else's lesser benefit. This principle is so fundamental to human behavior that they called it "Civilization".
That's why the wealth redistribution meme fails. Take all the official positions that would house power players away and figure that means they disappear. All you do is incentivise them to start playing against everyone's interest, winding up with them at the top of a corrupt shitheap that isn't helping anyone else.
As an aside, this is why women have always been denied political power. They're all fantastic players (just look at the success of their agitations), but they never manage the "benefit everyone else a little too" part.
