Capitalism is not sustainable We waste resources producing more crap than we could ever useBUTMarxist philosophy is giga retarded and doesn't even address most modern problemsI support labour rights and unions, but having every company be worker owned/managed is a god awful ideaMarxism is also retarded because it advocates for the eventual removal of private property under communism
>>82383943i dunno bruh in the age of AI workers and AI soldiers id much rather live in a collectivist marxist state than a capitalist dystopia. luckily China will win out so we will be free after they conquer the world.
>>82383965War against russia when
>>82383965AI bros are so lame. Carrington event 2026 please so we can just let these AI faggots die off. Please God make it happen it would be so fucking funny
>>82383943The biggest threat to trans people is themselves. Statistically speaking they are much more likely to use that gun on themselves than be involved in a defensive shooting. I don't say that as a joke or to be glib. I don't think people who have a mental illness known to dramatically increase odds of suicide should be left alone with firearms. It just takes a few minutes being in the wrong mental space to do something irreversible.
>>82383943>We waste resources producing more crap than we could ever useCorporations build the things people want
>>82383943>Marxist philosophy is giga retardedhave you read anything written by Marx ever
>>823839651. China leverages extreme nationalism to make progress. Them conquering the world would just mean extracting resources from the rest of the world and you would suffer. They don't care about marxists, they care about the Chinese "people", namely the ministers at the top. 2. If AI can be used to increase productivity, then by definition it would be a tool of capitalism, not collectivism. According to marxist labor theory of value, if you start doing less labor because of AI, then you are worth less. Collectivization/nationalization only "works" on things like land and natural resources, not the overall economy. China realized this and that's why they are a capitalist country now, for the most part.
>>82383965sometimes I wonder if these are bots or people who were actually successfully propagandized by china's shitty propaganda program. Who the actual fuck believes china wants to establish a communist utopia lmao
>>82383943It's a federal crime to lie on those forms you fill out when purchasing a firearm.
>>82384012corporations create the demand through advertisment The demand for most mass produced shit is purely artificial and wouldn't exist otherwise >>82384036Yes
>>82384075>corporations create the demand through advertismentHumans have no agency? People only want shitty dolls because of ads? If a corporation advertised human excrement, do you think the market for human shit would ever be big? Advertisement isn't brainwashing it's just a way to inform potential customers of products they may like. The human demand for useless trinkets is older than advertising.
>>82384036I read the one where the term "petite bourgeoisie" was used about ten thousand times, I don't remember any thing else about the book.
>>82384096>People only want shitty dolls because of ads?Yes you fucking retard
>>82383943>Capitalism is not sustainableWhy not?
>>82384130But I mean, you're wrong. People always want stupid shit. Not to mention the shitty doll market is orders of magnitude lower in size than autos, housing, food, medicine, etc. I don't see all this waste people always talk about. It's always just >ugh you can't have fun like that!!!I'm sure there are a bunch of things that you like to buy that I could say the same to.
>>82384046>if you start doing less labor because of AI, then you are worth lessthis is true in keynesian economics as well where the price of goods is determined by the marginal cost of production>China realized this and that's why they are a capitalist country now, for the most part.the majority of their economy is state owned enterprises
>>82383943conflating capitalism and corporatism
>>82384201There's barely a difference
>>82384226They couldn't be more different.Only people who conflate them are commies who usually do so intentionally and dishonestly.
>>82384238Explain the difference then
>>82384348don't do itexplain the difference in reality, since everyone loves talking about how great capitalism is in theory even though we're living under it now
tripfag AND baitposting? name a more iconic duo
>>82384348Capitalism only calls for private property protections it says nothing about how deferential the government should be to corporations.>>82384376Capitalism is great in practice too. All the best countries to live in are capitalist.
>>82384396>All the best countries to live in are capitalist.the leaders of those countries all say china is their biggest threat
>>82384422What does biggest threat have to do with best place to live?
>>82384424it's the biggest threat because it's most prosperous advanced country experiencing the most growth. i.e. the best place to live.
>>82384396That still doesn't prove capitalism is a sustainable system>>82384393This isn't bait, I wanted to have a genuine discussion on an issue thats been bothering me
>>82384158>state owned enterprisesthe majority of their economy is owned by a few billionaires. chinese companies being "state owned" is the same thing as calling lockheed martin a "government agency." The authoritarian part of the Chinese economy simply disallows private chinese citizens from speaking ill about China. other than that, the chinese economy is by definition primarily capitalist.
