Beware the Marxist world of Kamalla Harris: "There’s a big difference between equality and equity."

Or don't have access to the resources and opportunities that the wealthy had access to. People are stuck in a rut, just working to survive, without having time or energy for anything else. The cost of living keeps going up and salaries aren't enough for people to live. Smart employers know that if employees can't afford to live with what they're earning at their jobs, that hurts the market and undermines their business. The employees are the employer's customers, the paying consumers, so it behooves the capitalist to make sure workers are being paid a living wage. To do otherwise is to hurt one's business.

You just defined value and made the argument for it.

it’s just not true. Black people escape the hood every day. They do it through hard work and morality. You guys just do not understand that the “hood” is maintained by the same people you vote for.

You do what? Work at a retail store? Flip burgers. Wait tables? What job do you have with no college degree thats paying you more than everybody else. Dancing at a strip club?

I work in a four star restaurant. You know, a place where the the diners say, "Thank you, Miss," and not "She be so fine."

 

[sapphiregirl]

So tell us oh wise financial wiz kid, how does this change without raising wages to a liveable level.

Raise your wage. Why are you asking me?

'Equity' is hideous, and should not be tolerated in a free capitalistic society!!

We all should be on board for 'equality'. We know, that has not been the case in the past, but the goal starting today, is that everyone should have an equal opportunity.

'Equity' on the other hand, is a whole different animal, and is very un-American!

Not surprisingly, a Marxist will always be for 'equity', where you take and give depending on their needs. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Sound familliar? This is the world that Kamalla Harris wants for America.

"The government cannot deny rights to certain people because they are black, female, Muslim, etc.—this would be unequal treatment. A mandate to foster equity, though, would give the government power to violate these rights in order to achieve identical social results for all people. In accordance with this thinking, the authorities might be justified in giving some people more rights than others."

Do you know what a Marxist even is?

You say she's a Marxist, go on then, PROVE IT (I bet you can't.)

 

[sapphiregirl]

I told you to bring it. So let's go. Right now I see that all you do is bullshit, duck and dodge. You're black, you disagree with me about being black, so put up or shut the fuck up.

I'm not convinced you are black. I'm not convinced that you haven't been tag teaming me since I got here.

It's not a proof. It's one's opinion, based on evidence.

How is it an "opinion"?

Is this "opinion" based on reality, or just "I've decided she's a Marxist because the word sounds scary"?

Here we go wth more whining about being called a racist because they don't agree wth me. No, you're called a racist because that's what you have shown yourself to be. When I talk about how things are for blacks and you disagree, what is your basis for your disagreement? Your lived experience being black?

That's your answer to everyone that doesn't agree with you..."Oh here goes the whining again" ....

Personally, I don't have a problem with black people. Some are the nicest people I have known. I do, however have a problem with you. You make it out to be that "Because, I am black, everyone else is racist!"
Sure, there are a lot of racist people....in here and in the real world. It's a shame. It never really solves anything. But in any case...

what am I to be accountable for? Am I supposed to blame blacks for our problems and say it's because of our decisions because that's your opinon? Well I have read all kinds of physical, psychological, and sociological studies that detail what white racism does to a person and your simplistic opinion based on your life as a white man or something you read from some black idiot that you cherrypick because they say things that make you feel better about yurself is proven wrong by each and every study I have read.

You seem to think when you're wrong, you don't have to justify or admit that you are wrong. It's okay, you are human (I think?). Nonetheless, I am talking about being accounted for being wrong, instead of making a huge fuss about "You're right, and that person is wrong".

I have read many of your comments and other people's (towards you). You just seem that they are wrong. No matter what. Well after they have repeatedly told you that you were wrong. But yet, you continue to bitch anyways...

If not an opinion, then what?

If I say "The Earth is flat", it's an "opinion" that's WRONG. It's not really an "opinion", either something is, or something isn't.

We can do "opinion" like "I think she's beautiful", that's an opinion because beauty is not definable.

But with a "Marxist" it is. Either someone is, or they're not.

And if she is, what points to her being a "Marxist"???

If you can't provide evidence to back up the claim, then you're just making up shit to then throw.

 

[TruthNotBS]

You just defined value and made the argument for it.

The problem with the so-called "invisible hand" of the "free market" is that market adjustments can take months, even years, and sometimes never happen. In the meantime, while you're waiting for the "organic adjustments" of the market to take place in society, people are unable to live, leading to social unrest and economic collapse. The government has to intervene every few years to save the economy from collapsing by bailing out the rich with public funds. Capitalism privatizes profits and makes public its losses.

Now with advanced automation and artificial intelligence, wage labor is becoming obsolete, hence a marketless, non-profit system of production has to be adopted. Without wages, there's no capitalism.

What I just said, applies not just to the Black working class but to Whites like me, and Hispanics, it doesn't matter. We are of the working class, and some basics are required for people to flourish and advance in life. A foundation is needed, and those who are born into upper-middle-class and wealthy families, have all of the resources available to them, whereas someone born in poverty, is raised in scarcity, without resources, especially if they live in a red state, led by Republicans who are always defunding social programs.

Soros is a billionaire hedge fund manager/capitalist, Nancy is also a capitalist-investor. Bernie is a social democrat, not a Marxist.

Soros funds progressives who are dedicated to the end of the capitalist system

And Bernie is a self-identified socialist who lives way above the average person

Beauty is definable. Opinions are based on some type of criteria.

And, if one states he is a Marxist, then that would be a fact (unless he is mistaken, delirious, or lying). But, otherwise, saying someone is a Marxist is opinion.

Maybe the problem with poor and programs is enablement.

Liberals, not progressives, are the people Soros funds. Bernie isn't a socialist, because he's not trying to eliminate private property. In socialism, there's both private and personal property. Private property are all properties that can be used to exploit human beings for a profit. Personal property is for personal use and not used to exploit anyone. So one's home, car, rifle collection.etc. is one's personal property. If Bernie is against the abolishment of private property and placing the means of production in the hands of the working class, then he's not a socialist,

Social programs or public services that provide affordable housing, healthcare, education, job training, and employment opportunities, help people get out of poverty.
