That's all. And I'm not even serving any ideology. I like good ideas like capitalism, freedom of speech, and liberty.

Please try to see the irony in this.

I bet that you wouldn't like been unfairly called a racist, neonazi, etc. or insulted by some dumb leftists. Wouldn't it be great to limit their freedom so that they don't unfairly insult you and that everyone has an open discussion about their divergences?

No.

I don't mind being called a racist. Even if it's unfair.

I want them to have the right to call me how they want. Only a deluded person would call me a racist.

If somebody tries to insult me, that's their problem. I'm not that sensible when it comes to insults.

On the other hand, I want to be able to sue those who try un unfairly defame me.

These ideas are essential for a healthy, functional society. Without them, you wouldn't be able to go to the moon.

Honestly, I like these ideas too. But again, proper limitations need to be applied to prevent imbalances.

At a moment we need to break the chain to stop the delusion.

@The Don Get some popcorn and watch this.

I agree. Capitalism is not the problem, crony capitalism is.

When people like Jeff or Zuck play the game unfairly, they must be held accountable.

The tech sector does indeed suffer from abuses of "monopoly power," the subcommittee concluded in the mammoth 450-page report (PDF) published late yesterday afternoon.

"As they exist today, Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook each possess significant market power over large swaths of our economy. In recent years, each company has expanded and exploited their power of the marketplace in anticompetitive ways," Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and antitrust subcommittee Chairman David Cicilline (D-R.I.) said in a joint statement. "Our investigation leaves no doubt that there is a clear and compelling need for Congress and the antitrust enforcement agencies to take action that restores competition, improves innovation, and safeguards our democracy."

Here's the whole article.

Although I truly respect what Leo's work, I don't have to align with @Leo Gura's perspective on this.

We all have the power to think for ourselves. 'Reason' is a great tool when it comes to reaching an objective conclusion.

Some ideas work. Some not.

My tool for 'accurately perceiving reality' is observation.

Observation is a skill that must be cultivated on a daily basis. It's the only way that leads to perceiving reality accurately.

I didn't read the article, but I agree with this and I'm sure that many people here agree too.

There is no difference, the market incentivizes Capitalists to be as crony as they can be.

Capitalism will evolve into more healthy forms.

Then you love moderation and restrictions on speech. Without guidelines and moderation, the forum wouldn’t be so amazing. It would degrade into a cesspool.

I highly doubt it, even the most advanced Capitalistic societies engage in Imperialism to support their crony economic system

Yes, and it will surely still be here in a thousand years, but it will be much more balanced. People and societies will evolve and become more conscious, and capitalism will evolve and become more conscious because otherwise, it will kill itself.

Fair enough. 

My observation is that your background with communism has made you equate any type of regulation with strangling your freedom. Which is not true, I can guarantee you that Twitter banning a mildly Fascist Orange man is not Totalitarian Communism coming back. Perhaps look up the slippery slope argument if you havent.

Capitalism is by it's very nature authority and exploitation,  (according to Osho) a spiritually evolved society would have interest in neither

I don't see my job as something "authoritarian" that's somehow exploiting me.

I prefer to have a job because I get to interact with my fellow human beings. I enjoy working and studying human behavior. And it pays me for the work I'm doing.

I also like to take my social skills to the next level. I'm working in a restaurant as a waiter which allows me to practice my social skill.

Having a job taught me how to be disciplined and embrace work. Do you know? Work is a noble thing. You learn to serve others.

A job can not be by its very nature exploitative because you're the one who's choosing that job. Nobody forces you to get a job. Capitalism certainly doesn't.

Socialism spends what capitalism creates. If you have a thirst for other people's money, I suggest you develop yourself properly and become independent.

Money has to be earned.

Take @Leo Gura's example. He made it because he struggled to master his mind. He did everything possible to develop himself in order to reach this level of understanding.

Capitalism allows you to solve societal problems by opening up a conscious business that's beneficial to others. But for that, you have to acquire skills.

@The Don

Classic libertarian pull-yourself-up-by-your bootstrap egotism. Heard it all before. Shame on me for thinking you ever had a point.  

 Nobody forces me to get a job? How about the fact that I STARVE AND DIE if I dont.

It's good that you're taking personal responsibility for you life. I'm sure your job does benefit you. But you really need to take a deeper look into how capitalism works and not just swallow the neoliberal kool-aid.

Candace Owens has only a pea-sized brain. She seems to be a totally worthless person, except for her looks. She's essentially only good for jerk off material.

   Good on you for not treating your job as if it exploits your own authority.

   Although a job is more a requirement for living inside a society than a preference/free choice of the person, it doesn't mean that you should be negative to others and to yourself, so it's good for you to enjoy your job, as a waiter.

   I also learned to love my job because not only do I get to sometimes interact with human beings, I also get to observe them from afar sometimes, and depending on the times I also get work late at night, observing people.

   Not only did I gain some discipline, but I developed patience and pleasure from just my work, as you sometimes have to wait long periods of time to take down notes/draw from observation. Work not just noble, but it can also be selfish, in a way that builds you up as a better self person.

   Capitalism is mainly stuff around currency and equipment of businesses, but that doesn't mean it can't be exploitative. Take for example, labor workers in China, that work crazy long hours in factories, like phone developing factories, and some feel the need to jump off buildings. That's one example of people abusing capitalism.

   Socialism basically is being social, so of course it's different from capitalism, capitalism is concerned if you have your own capital to begin with, while socialism is more concerned if you are being social enough. At least that's a more simple comparison between the two anyways.

   I can't speak for Leo, as he's a special case in all this, but he's an okay dude for making Actualized.org and those tons of free videos, with many hours and weeks of research, I think, maybe.

   Capitalism actually can't help you with societal problems, because societal problems are connected to less socialism, also being less social. If you really want societal problems to go away, you'll have to think more socialism rather than capitalism, more being social than spending your capital currency thinking money spending fixies all societal problems.

    Remember, be more social, not pay more.
