What are some books that explain this problem.

Capitalits have become so aware of the evils of capitalism but are such slaves to it that they'll invent a new term to try to defend it

What are the evils of private property?

>>24732502
Like money, it takes from the greater population and give to the rich who already have more than enough private property. An 18 year old who just got kicked out cant exactly buy a house on his own nowadays, back then you would have a greater chance. It will only get worse

Actually people do in fact hate capitalism. They ought to hate corporatism, but losers hate having to compete more than they do inefficency/injustice. They are the same who hate the boot of the NKVD officer on their neck, or local lord cracking the whip. The world is full and always has been full of lazy people who want to enjoy the fruits and while not sowing. It is what it is.

I see. And you think this is all to be blamed on private property as opposed to some other incorporeal factors?
>>
>>24732476
>>24732496
Notice how it says "crony state" before corporatism?
The government using its power to give unfair advantages to corporations over any potential competitors isn't capitalism no matter how you look at it.

Curious how people didnt really mind working under a boss at all when they shared an ethnicity and neighborhood with them. It was only when CEOs moved into private, wealthy areas and became increasing "other" that cracks began to form.

Funny he would be saying this considering the relationship between Tesla and the government.

No, the point socialists are making is that this abuse of power is inherent in what they call capitalism. What I rarely see addressed is that such abuses of power will inevitably happen regardless of economic and political systems, simply because any entity with the power to influence a centralized government will abuse it, and a centralized government is an inevitable consequence of current population densities and modes of production.

The problem with capitalism is that there are not enough capitalists.
>>
>>24732476
crony capitalism is a cope by brainwashed americans to explain away the fact that capitalist institutions are always intertwined with state institutions, always breeds corruption, and without proper state regulations (anti-trust laws) always leads to consolidation/oligopoly/monopoly. Dittmanns meme is pure grade retarded ironic unself-awareness. everyone other that deluded liberals and contrarian 4channers hate capitalism

literally read marx via das kapital on primitive accumulation, private property was built upon seizure of ancestral and common lands in England, displacing inhabitants and forcing them into urban areas to either be homeless or wagecuck slaves

>>24732586
You're being an illogical and disingenuous faggot who is clearly working on the lolitarian presumption that government action is always bad. You are using the logical outcomes of capitalist political economy (state institution capturing) to argue that other political economies are bad as well, when clearly everything from liberal-reformist systems, national socialist systems, to downright communism solves the problem of a class of plutocrats stealing and consolidating everything and rigging all laws to fuck you 100 ways before the work week even starts.

During the late 19th/early 20th centuries the term "international capital", "financial slavery", "imperialism" and "world jewry" were thrown around a lot and I think, by design, people dont understand anymore what these things mean.
Under globalism a company may be seated in a country, but its ownership through stocks is usually spread all around the world. In Germany most of the stocks arent even owned by Germans. So through dividends most of the value created through German labor in Germany is siphoned into foreign countries where it can be used to buy even more stocks in Germany thus creating a oppressive cycle of financial subjugation. Most people most of the time work for the benefit of foreigners when their own countries need the capital themselves.
Modern slavery is not done through military force with chains around peoples necks, its done through ownership of the capital.
And thats the real problem: (((globalism))). Anybody who uses the vague term of "capitalism" without even understanding its meaning is a useful idiot who prevents the real issues from being discussed. Capital is important, its needed to build a civilization, and thats why every nation should hold sovereignty over it, not a bunch of rootless (((investment banks))).

Okay but....I needed books, though.

Have you ever heard of the tragedy of the commons?
Also, you have not explained what the "evils" of private property are. Is it evil simply because it is not public property?

Completely agree. The best anti-supes out there.

But seriously, someone should make a "what if superman was good?" comic for maximum hilarity.

You shouldn't need a fucking book to understand this.

Just read up on Capitalism from people who actually understand it (IOW not commies).
Then you understand that capitalism is merely an economic system a government can maintain based on concepts of private property and free markets. Unlike communism, it's not some sort of all-encompassing ideology that is expected to solve every problem. It's not presumed that capitalism must necessarily crowd out and banish every other moral, social or governmental principle.

Maintaining any system of liberty is in the real world of politics is hard and requires constant vigilance, adaptation and virtue. And there are some problems markets cannot solve (eg healthcare with its infinite demand vs information asymmetry).

"Crony state corporatism" isn't a real system it's just corrupted capitalism.

>>24732576
Problem with retard arguments like yours is that there's ALWAYS a hidden straw man that we're talking about the "true communism has never been tried" idiocy. Because capitalism has been empirically proven to be good at generating wealth (Marx even admitted this). Communism is this "alternative" economic system to capitalism, where commies steal the wealth from capitalists and everyone lives happily ever after because human nature has changed to accept "from each according to his ability to each according to need." Commies think that because we've never reached the final utopia, that we've never seen "real communism" and therefore should ignore the fact that every single time commies have tried to bring about their utopia the result is an unmitigated disaster of human misery and atrocities.

Yes, but this is in response to what Omni Man was stating as an echo and also a byproduct of PC writing in today's counterculture where people bash on capitalism and give it the runaround. When in reality it is Corporatism hiding under the veneer of capitalism that people should be paying attention to which is what picrel, an alien no less, is trying to say about us and our society.

Corporatism gets mistaken for Capitalism because it leverages the free market's framework—private property and competition—while distorting it with government intervention. This happens through subsidies, bailouts, or regulations that favor big players, creating a rigged system. People see the inequality and blame capitalism, not realizing the distortion stems from corporatist policies that prop up connected elites, not true market dynamics.

The confusion persists because corporatism thrives on opacity—governments and corporations collude to protect their interests, often under the guise of economic stability or job creation. This erodes the core of capitalism, which relies on fair competition and individual initiative. For instance, when regulations favor established firms over new entrants, innovation stalls, and wealth concentrates, fueling the perception of a "capitalist" failure. It’s a deliberate misrepresentation that shifts blame from systemic corruption to the market itself.

To make themselves heard, people should clearly distinguish corporatism from capitalism, emphasizing that the issue is government overreach and cronyism, not free markets. They could say: "We need to call out corporatism—government favoritism and rigged systems—not capitalism, which thrives on fair competition. Demand transparency and end subsidies that prop up elites!" Spreading this message through public forums, social media, or local discussions can amplify the call for reform.

>What are the evils of private property?
Private property of certain goods implies consequences shared by everyone in a given-group of people. For instance, if I own a factory and decide to pollute the environment and ruining the local river, these consequences will affect everyone around me. Private property in the current paradigm has largely mythified this notion that certain goods should be commercialized and CANNOT under any circumstances be subject to democracy or popular approval. This of course creates unwarranted consequences for the collective for the personal profit of the individual.

>>24732798
> [...] human nature has changed to accept "from each according to his ability to each according to need."
Not about socialism btw. Retards always spam this quote without understanding that it doesn't aim at describing socialism but communism. Marx even used it as an opposition to german socialists in the 19th century who were idealists in their political ambitions (critique of the gotha program).

>we're talking about the "true communism has never been tried" idiocy
Kinda true. Marx never made any program, he just analyzed reality and described phenomenons underlining capitalism/alienation. This is like saying that catholicism is false because Franco's Spain and Salazar's Portugal were shitholes.

>therefore should ignore the fact that every single time commies have tried to bring about their utopia the result is an unmitigated disaster of human misery and atrocities.
Even if we believe a black and white vision of socialist countries (very wrong imo but for the argument), you still have to account for all the "communist" policies which did work, stuff like social security, housing programs, mass education etc.

It's quite funny that you try to have a nuanced take on capitalism but then fall into blatant idiocy for socialism/marxism...
>>
>>24732476
Ironic because he's talking about corporatocracy not corporatism which is more related to fascism.
