Capitalism is NOT Democratic: Democracy is NOT Capitalist

[Toddsterpatriot]

The term, "marxist economist" is an oxymoron.

No kidding, but he loves Richard Wolff.

Does the "right price", under socialism, have anything to do with how much people value the good or service in question? Or is that just a secondary concern?

How do people calculate "value" in monopoly capitalism?

 

[georgephillip]

Wondering what a socialist "Price is Right" would be like.

Socialists wouldn't waste their time watch propaganda like "Price is Right" even without commercials filled with useless eaters willing to say anything they are paid to say..

still waiting on that successful socialist country. where is it?

Are you actually proposing equality of incomes?

No.

Why did you ask?

 

[georgephillip]

Nature rewards those who won the birth lottery. If my parents are smart, there's nothing government can do to erase that advantage, and it commits a grave injustice by trying to erase it.

Those who won the birth lottery did nothing to earn their privileged education.
In many cases their parents became successful because of racial and gender discrimination. White males became rich for centuries in this country largely because they didn't have to compete against any other race and half of their own. That legacy of discrimination makes equality of opportunity something that government must redress.

You know he's going to say Sweden.

No.

Why did you ask?

Sure you are, turd. You do it every time you whine about rich people.

Capitalism simply accepts an historical fact. It doesn't "give" anyone anything.

Capitalism gives the owners of the means of production the right to decide what to produce, where to produce it, and how to distribute any profits. Finance capitalism gives banks a free lunch to fail since they know bailouts are coming. The five hundred year history of capitalism is filled with millions of murdered human beings sacrificed on the altar of profit.

So? Do you really believe government can/should fix the birth lottery? What does the government do about a woman is incredibly beautiful, throw acid in her face?

Do you morons ever think about the stupid shit you say?

In many cases their parents became successful because of racial and gender discrimination. White males became rich for centuries in this country largely because they didn't have to compete against any other race and half of their own.

So do you support having the government throw acid in the faces of beautiful women? How about people with genius I.Q.s? Should the government give them brain damage?

True, and I couldn't be happier about it. The people who produced the wealth have demonstrated competence at managing producing enterprise. Who should we give it to, some corrupt useless bureaucrats? Dumbass voters

What you call "Finance capitalism," which is really crony capitalism. It's not capitalism at all.

Capitalism has only been around for 250-300 years, at most.

Capitalism has killed almost no one. When you consider all the people capitalism has saved, the ledger decidedly favors capitalism . Famine used to be regular occurrence in the world. Millions of people died. Capitalism put an end to it. Capitalism also put an end to many infections diseases that killed millions.

Is everything you post bullshit?

again, that quack thinks socialism worked somewhere. You and I can't solve insanity such as his.

Today the USA is neither capitalist or Democratic.....

In case it slipped your memory, Biden won an election last year and that's called democracy.
Democracy is wonderful if it works in your favour. If not, we end up bitter and twisted like you because Lord trump was chucked out by it.

You have the right to use your stuff too. So what?

Banks paid back TARP. The US Treasury made huge profits. And?

The five hundred year history of capitalism is filled with millions of murdered human beings sacrificed on the altar of profit.

Right, anyone who dies of hunger or from dirty water was killed by capitalism. DURR.

You have no evidence of voter fraud and never will. Its the same old bitter nasty vitriol because you lost. You are paranoid and hate filled about democrats and will go to your grave believing a trump dictatorship is the only way. You are an ignorant fool and completely delusional. You know nothing about the electoral system and too stupid to learn
You don't even know the definition of communism. Just hate.
