Perhaps I was being overly cynical but last years grocery hike was all of those businesses acting in concert. Which I’m sure is illegal for everyone but the rich…

Without a way too keep them from just raising costs to match, raising min wage has a limited effect. Taxes on profit are more effective. Reinvestment or raises should be deductable, tax the everliving fuck out of gross profit for the rest.

I don’t know what I clicked on that. It was exactly what it says.

99%? Are you sure?

How many civilians have the Zionists murdered in the last 8 months alone?

Slaves are e human capital. So by definition weren’t plantations capitalist?

No. Moving goalposts means there is no definitive measure of completion. Communism has one. If you’ve read anything at all about it, you would know that. But hey you were told it was bad in school, and thinking for yourself is difficult. You do you.

Neither the USSR or China fulfilled Dialectical Materialism yet either. That’s a prerequisite for the ideals of communism.

Well. Stop using strawmen. Communism is defined by progress through dialectical Materialism. Has any nation finished that progression?

Read ‘State and Revolution’ by Lenin. It’s quite short and not that bad a read. Addresses exactly what you are talking about.

Look up dialectical Materialism. China is ‘communist’ as they are progressing along the roadmap Dialectical Materialism provides towards achieving communism.

Those famines happened every 10 years before communism, they happened ONCE during in each location and not again since.

In the meantime capitalism had that death total due to forced starvation every 7 years on average.

Not going to downvote, but I do think you’re lacking quite a bit of insight into the reasons human society exists at all. Cooperation is the reason human society exists at all, so saying we’re inheritly selfish is kinda laughable in that context.

I would encourage you to look up information on dialectical Materialism and the necessity of capitalism as a stage in that dialectical.

Capitalism had a purpose, and it’s past time for us to move on.

Dialectical Materialism. Right now, they are. You either work towards communism or capitalism moves towards consolidation of capital. Those are your choices.

Good choice. I love baduk/go. I suck at it, but I love it nonetheless.

Yeah. I saw that and just knew people would take it out of context. CR said their internal roadmap and plans for 1.0 are done. That’s it.

They’re putting a LOT of stuff in right now, but we’re still a ways out from ‘1.0’.

Moving fake numbers representative of labor is not in itself labor. It’s extraction of labor value from someone who actually provided something useful to society.

In the example regarding the brokers look at whos labor they’re profiteering from it’s not their own.

Except there isn’t. we tried that then the capitalists bought the weaker willed politicians and used them to undermine any regulation. Capitalism is a cancer and must be excised as such.
