@The Don You said in capitalism only highly needed business survive. I gave you a few counter-examples of parasitic businesses. You then proceed to tell me a discourse on life not being safe. What the heck man?

Try to understand why you're against Capitalism.

I am not against capitalism if by capitalism you mean our current global economic system. It is what it is, an outcome of hundred of years of evolution of human labor organisation. It's not in it's ultimate form in any way and needs improvements to keep up with the tempo of technological change. 

What I am against is treating our economic system as it really was capitalism as described by liberals like Milton Friedman. Nope, the real world doesn't behave like that. It's liberals who actually live in a bubble by believing that market decisions are always right and profit is always justified. There was data even in their times that theses ideas might be wrong. There is even more data nowadays, proving most of liberal thought is bullshit.

They work even harder than an employee. Believe me.

No-one says business owners don't work hard.

I saw how hard it is for my boss to maintain the business. He was constantly stressed, constantly working. Non-stop, dude.

And he fucking shouldn't. Why would someone think it's desirable for anyone to be constantly stressed? That's the point of introducing reforms like Universal Basic Income or Universal Basic Services, so no business owner is scared of losing their livelihood or causing difficulties for his employees if his business fails.

It's a free society.

Tell me, who has more freedom: a woman in our current system who has to slave 10 hours a day working under a sexist boss at a bottom of the barrel job, worried she might became homeless if she lost that job, OR a woman living in a country with UBI or UBS implemented, who can say "fuck you" to such offer and look for something better, because she doesn't have to worry about paying for food or health insurance?

You see, I am the one who cares about real fredom in that conversation. Freedom to express yourself, create beauty and share love. Not a freedom to oppress, which you are an advocate of.

And with space mining, fully-automated shopping, self-driving cars, 3D printing, cheap energy & battery revolution, progressing automation, smarter AI, etc. we don't really have a choice. A turn toward more sociallistic policies is needed, otherwise the whole system would collapse.

It's a free society. In a free society people take risks.

Just like you leave your house; you could be hit by a car or a terrible earthquake could happen and die as a result.

Life is seriously not safe.

Just make sure you're not driven by hate when you make a point against Capitalism. Try to understand why you're against Capitalism.

I was against Capitalism as well. I hated those who have lots of money. I thought that society was so unfair and that the game was rigged by those at the top.

Then I took responsibility for my own life and embarked on the self-actualization journey.

I got a job and I saw how hard it is for my boss to maintain the business. He was constantly stressed, constantly working. Non-stop, dude.

When I saw what's behind a business, I started to have respect for those who own a business. They work even harder than an employee. Believe me.

I just observed this by myself. I'm not embracing Capitalism through ideological theories but by my own remarks and observations.

You should judge objectively, not through Karl Marx or other people that have no practical skills in the real world.

You might be inteligent and capable of thought abstraction but that doesn't really matter in a practical world. Wisdom matters more.

Just like you realized how bad your victimhood mentality was, you will as well notice how harmful your pragmatism is. All of what you're saying has been said already by a blue/orange guy who went exactly through the same phase you went through.

Notice how you went from "it's the society" to "it's the individual". As a candidate for green, you'll go back to "community". That's just one of endless examples of the process that unfolds naturally at every scale in the universe, things can't just stay forever, they keep evolving in this fashion of a swinging pendulum going back and forth between thesis and antithesis to synthesis, which by the way, is what Marx actually and mainly was trying to convey: what Hegel brought forth to western consciousness in Phenomenology of the Spirit, but with his own materialistic twist (fun fact, Leo has a video about this concept, but with his own words, but same concept nonetheless, it's called "Unity vs. Division"). 

Marx was actually one of the first to admit the beauty of the development capitalism brought. He has his limitations, but the way you talk about him just like every other capitalist advocate has done makes me think that, like them, you haven't actually read a thing about him or even about capitalism itself right from the source.

If I had a dollar for every person that encloses Marx in a "he's evil because communism" bubble...

Good luck on your journey. Please look out of your echo chamber. Read. Actually read and investigate thoroughly what you believe.

No one here said that.

I have repeatedly said that MAGA != all conservatives.

I had no idea who Candace Owens was

She is a nit-wit grifter who thinks that Hitler was doing good things for Germany.

Quote

“I actually don’t have any problems at all with the word ‘nationalism.' I think that the definition gets poisoned by elitists that actually want globalism. Globalism is what I don’t want, so when you think about whenever we say nationalism, the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler."

“He was a national socialist. But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. To me, that’s not nationalism."
