Bonds are only valuable for interest, which is receiving money for no work.

This board really does disappoint me, often. As stupid as the whole idea of communism is, we gotta realize who the current enemy of both the left and the right is. Central banks. Whole system is rigged to move money up the chain. If you had a sound world reserve currency the 'people' if you will would be harder to rob with inflation. This would allow stronger capitalism and theoretical allow for supporting more social programs at the same time. Left vs right debate is secondary to the theft occurring right before our eyes.

Why not?
So long as we are getting better in some way, there is growth. As an example let's go with mugs. The technology of making a mug hasn't changed in a hundred years, nor have the designs. So how can you have growth?
Some of it comes from innovations down the chain, in terms of the effiiency of the kilns in heating the porcelain, and where the energy comes from that's converted to heat, and may shave off half a cent in terms of cost. Some of it comes up the chain, in the form of innovations that came to how the cups were transported, going from ships, to trains, to Cargo container ships, to trucks and 18 wheelers, and in the future driverless trucks. And since the cost of delivery is built into the price of every consumer and commercial good, any efficiency in shipping, results in a lower price for the consumer, and the growth of said industry.
And some of the growth comes from "just in time shipping" and personalization.
Allowing products to reach shelves just when they are needed, results in growth as there's not storage costs in a warehouse, nor are the stores waiting with empty shelves losing potential money. Personalizing it makes it so people have slightly more enjoyment.
This is why, until we are immortal and live with dyson spheres and star trek replicators, there will always be the possibility for growth.

Look at how people like Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, D'Souza, Peterson, etc have gained millions of followers just by saying simple things like "commies bad, join our side!"

If you had a functioning brain, you would realize that only brain-dead people unironically use terms like "leftists" to smear others. When it comes down to it, both leftwing media (CNN) and rightwing media (Fox News) will spread the same lie to the people on behalf of oligarchs. One notable example being the Iraq war.

I just can't fathom why somebody would devote themselves to an ideology yet it is what the vast majority of people do here. Not just on the Internet, but in real life. Is imprisoning yourself to a set of beliefs truly so noble?

Whether you're an SJW, an alt-righter, a communist, a fascist, a conservative, a liberal, it doesn't matter really. You cannot think you're fundamentally any different from the person on the other side.

I guess what bothers me is when people think they're truly different from those they're criticizing, when as I've said before, they're truly two sides of the same coin. We're all being played. Yet at the same time, when I propose that it's a war between the powerful and the weak, I feel like I'm also falling in the same circle I accuse others of being in. I guess I just don't want to see regular people fighting each other while ominous figures hide in the dark.

Lots of reasons but I'll give you a big one. Scale. Once you are running an operation big enough to force everyone to pay the taxes and they give the money out, they will need a cut. Since they are the biggest kid on the block now and there is no one to stop them, the cut they take magically gets bigger and bigger.

Very good post, that's how I see it too.

That's ultimately how it is, the new system is intended to move money up the chain. This whole left vs right debacle is nothing more than a distraction. These last couple of years have been particularly hard-hitting for me over this issue, seeing how the left and right mirror each other without the two sides realizing it.

Personally, I took my aim at you because I saw you use the word "NPC". A term meant to dehumanize those on the other side. Yet if you would go on Reddit, you would be called a "Russian bot" in a similar attempt to dehumanize you if you're from the right. This is not just the horseshoe theory I'm talking about, but something more.

Ultimately, the goal isn't to hunt down rich people and steal their wealth. The goal is to insure economic equality and to prevent a deep divide between the classes. If people shill too much for capitalism, they allow the rich and powerful to exploit the regular people. If people shill too much for socialism, they drive the rich people away without fixing economic inequalities. Better to be rid with this fiat system and make it be known that the economy exists to improve the living conditions of humans, not to make rich people richer, and poor people poorer.

Leftists despise the nuclear family but support the extended family.

We were never meant to live inside in an atomized bubble comprising only our ourselves, our partner and our kids. We were meant to have large close knit communities that we mutually care for.

So no, I don't want everyone to feel alone and abandoned.

I want children to have their grandparents, and uncles and aunts and close friends and all the neighbors to help care for them too. And I want to have good relationships with all those people so we can live a happy life together.

I don't want to be stuck alone with only my lover and my wage-slave cuck job forever. I want to run my job, and I want everyone else working there to run it too, democratically. Workplaces are dictatorships. We go on and on about democracy outside the workplace, but the same dictatorships we becry in government we recreate within our businesses.

This is fucking retarded desu. Seriously, think about it, why shouldn't you get to vote for your boss? Because his grandparents got more bloodmoney from killing Indians during colonial times than yours? That's a stupid fucking reason. All private property can be traced back to conquest. It's not ethically owned to begin with, so the only way to ethically handle that wealth now is to democratically manage it. That's not to say the economy should be centrally planned, just that corporations should be replaced worker-owned cooperative federations like Mondragon in the Basque country of Spain.

Market Socialism works, claiming otherwise just makes you an authoritarian and enemy of freedom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

Market dynamics should be maintained, but we must change how we organize our businesses. CEOs are the new monarchs, off with their heads.

The American Right doesn't want to shrink the size of government. The American Right is notorious for having some of the largest governments and subsequently government spending in US history.

Which is why since WW2 the highest deficit percentage increase was Ronald Reagan (increasing the deficit by 142%) and the lowest deficit percentage increase was Bill Clinton (reduced deficit by 1%).

The Republicans lie to your face. The conservative poster boy, Ronald Reagan, is the epitome of Republican values, and look at what he did. Decrease taxes on the rich, increase government spending for war, and let the future generations deal with him doubling the debt.

Both the left and right in the American government are enemies of the People. Don't be fooled by this illusion of separation.

Pro-tip: being in between the two most popular positions doesn't make you neutral or impartial. If one side says 2+2=4 and the other says 2+2=5, you are not being neutral by saying "I'm too good for this argument, everyone has some good points and some bad points...both sides are the same".

If things continue like this, there will be no fighting. A big recession is coming ahead, you're smart enough to realize that. The rich will go doing the usual, wait for everything to crash and buy it up cheap again. The cycle will continue except that the severity of financial crashes and recessions will only get worse and worse.

The fighting will only start if people finally wake up, but they'd rather argue over transgender rights, social programs or gun laws. I don't see anything fundamentally changing in my lifetime. The only hope for people to wake up will be automation without UBI, that is the one event that will push everyone to the edge.

>>12209023
You're free to see it that way. Maybe if you argued over things that mattered, that I would feel inclined to join in. Yet it is all so irrelevantly banal. Don't bring up maths here, universal truths are universal, aspects of the universe. While it is up for humans to decide whether abortion is moral or whether communism is evil. The only natural truth here is that people are being exploited way more than they should be.

The US president is the one who proposes the initial budget, and changes can be made along the way. Bill was the one who proposed a budget which included a surplus and not a deficit like most other presidents. Bill's presidency was a time of beautiful prosperity. Yet it did not take long for the powerful to plunge humanity into another conflict with 9/11. Let the 90's be known as the best years in all of human history, for people living in the West at least.

That's not what strong extended families means at all.

You'd still have your own house. But the structure of your community wouldn't leave you and your family and your friends dozens to hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.

Also, under the Northern European guild system of old adolescence lasted until people were in their early 30s. People weren't expected to marry until they were older, and being young meant working as an apprentice and eventually journeymen in other people's homes until one acquired enough wealth to start their own business and gain mastery. Wage labor was seen either as a form of slavery or a form of skill building. But no one was expected to do it forever, and even most nobles went through this process being expected by society to build character before they would gain access to their families wealth.

Frankly the idea that you should be thrown the wolves with no support from anyone before you have any skills or life experience is sick.

Now obviously I'm advocating democractic cooperatives in place of mercantile guilds, but they're not too dissimilar of a concept if you squint a little bit.

I'm not advocating handouts, you still have to fucking work. I'm expecting reason and support not exploitation. But please, run away and go work at Mcdonalds while licking the boot of your boss who genuinely doesn't give a shit about you.

Yes democratic cooperatives are the way to go. Just came back from my credit union today and I'm still impressed by how much better this model is versus private banks. Wish we could better apply this concept to all of the economy.

One of the reason I dislike the left vs right debacle is because rich people are capitalist when they're making money, but socialist when they're losing it (asking government for handouts). They see beyond politics and purely into personal interest.

Besides, we've all seen the great success of corporations that let employees own a share of the profits or most of the company, they always grow tremendously. Better have your company owned by your workers than billionaire shareholders or one family.

They're right. When I was very young I leaned far left because that was the popular thing to be. When I was older I was where you're at which is dems/reps are two sides of the same coin. At this point you could consider me a libertarian. I believe in fiscal conservatism, that everything aside from physical harm should be legal, and we should let the free market sort everything else out.

I think the system is broken and taxing me from more of my earnings wont help anyone because the government spending my money are wasting it on nothing. I believe in a strong military and believe the US needs to assert itself to maintain control over the world. I believe the US financial markets are a necessary evil at this point and that financeers maintain American dominance and order by extracting wealth from the rest of the world and bringing it into our money grubbing fingers.

Being Marxist is not a choice. It is not a solution. It is just understanding the current reality. Once i have understood that our current mode of production was preceded by others (antiquity slavery, then feudalism), and that it has physical limits that cannot, to this date, be overcome (the tendency of the rate of profit to fall), what should i do? Pretend to be a capitalist, pretend to like a mode of production that will collapse in a few decades?

I can make an analogy with computers and central servers. Currently, 4chan is hosted on a central server. However, most of us know that in about 20 years in the future, the internet will be decentralized. Hosted in many different nodes. Some people still advocate the superiority of central servers, like speed, but we know for a fact that central servers days are numbered.

What shall we do, glorify the central servers as the true and only internet, or admit that decentralized web is more reliable, secure, censorship resistant, and in the end, even faster?

Same for Marxism. The days of Capitalism are numbered. It is not an ideological or political choice, it is just accepting reality.

Underrated post. Communism is inherently subversive so the only way to effectively fight it is by more subversion or collapse of civilization. The problem is, there's nothing that can get little jealous lazy vile people riled up quite like communism! So civilizational collapse it is!

You're missing the point anon. Every, and I do mean ever, "communist" here is a larping, bourgeois faggot. Why aren't they out trolling the WSJ? Why aren't they running ops to elect Bernie & shift the Overton window further towards a place where their revolution could be feasible? Why aren't they having legions of glowniggers spying on them and trying to use them for psyops, while major media headlines decry them as public enemy #1? The big, bad communist threat (lel, such revolutionaries). Because they're fake. All of them. They're no more substantial than a Coca-Cola commercial. So they're here preaching to the evil White men their corporate masters want them to help neutralise. It's kinda lulzy really, they really think we're more important than, ya know, infiltrating banks or oil companies or something. So really, there is no "Why" - hell, half of them are probably being paid off by the Fat Princess. So don't try to imagine their motive, they have none.

Don't you think that its ironic that communist have to use YouTube, a product of capitalism, in their attempts at failing to subvert people?

>hey guys welcome to our videos
>lmao,bruh smash dat FUKKEN subscribe button
>LOL based! We fittin 2 b twerkin on capitalism grave

I always think its a strange irony that failures of life have to use capitalism derived products, despite their hatred for capitalism.

I've been saying this before, and I will say it again. Communists are literally retarded for not starting CommunistChain. You could remove corruption from equation using blockchain and automating shitton of things. Instead "private money = HARAM"

>automation will replace all jobs within 30 years

no you fucking retard. automation will make some jobs more efficient, thus requiring less people to do those jobs. The surplus workers then can create new jobs or live on welfare.

I know that. Launching a rocket doesn't make a country scientific. Google up Russia's technological export. I can tell you right now, it's $300 per working adult. China is $1000 per adult, US $2000 per adult. :)))

You are the typical angry teenager/young adult.

You should learn to calm down and try to think instead of getting angry without understanding something.

The Marxist economical theory has nothing to do with cultural leftism, SJWs, white replacement, faggots movment, feminism, bolshevism, or leftist political parties.

In fact if you really use your head for a change you'll realize that mass immigration, SJW, feminism and all the things you hate are tools in the hands of the capitalist class: the owners of the means of production.

Wealth inequality is continuously rising. The average whitey is a poor welfare fucker just as the rest. You can buy more shit today but in terms of wealth the average person owns less and less every year.

I agree 100% about using blockchain to change the mode of production.

Baning money is retard. we should think of an other way to produce and allocate the production.

The intelligent Marxist doesn't want to go back to feudalism, or repeat the complete failure of bolshevism aka state capitalism. He wants to surpass capitalism with a mode of production more efficient, without wage cucking.

My prediction about the blockchain and algorythms is that it will allow, in the future, and in conjunction with automation, a mode of production without money and waging.

All those science metrics are arbitrary either way. China is keeping most of their research for themselves by keeping it all in chinese which is why they score lower in rankings as only english publications count but this gives them an advantage since they can get all information from outside while the outside world can't benefit from their research. I think longterm this will be exactly how they will overshadow the west.

Let's dive down to the essence of any economical theory. We have a finite amount of resources and finite amount of opportunities to do work with those resources. Now we either go utilitarian, and assume that we want to maximize everyone's happiness, or we go some gimmick which eventually will collapse to "we want to maximize as many people's happiness as possible to a CERTAIN level", so we don't end up building a 5m2 shared rooms. Neither of those really matter.
Now we have to decide how we allocate our resources and time. And here is the core difference in marxism vs capitalism. First one is about centralized entity which makes every decision. This entity has access to all the information, it makes best decisions and makes them faster than any other participant. It owns all the means of production, education, the whole of society. The second one relies on every participant making decisions himself. Different participants own different things and decide what to do with them.
I've realized that some physicist/mathematician could prove at this point impossibility of marxism due to physical limitation. Entity like that is not physically (computationally) possible with a computer size of Milky Way galaxy.
So we have to modify our central entity from being best at making decisions and allocating resources to confidently good one. Man what a shitty idea. This denies basic human strive to be best versions of themselves.

That's rate, guys in this thread do not understand: productivity increase way faster than wages.

So the average worker produce way more than in the past, thanks to his efforts combined to machinery.

However, his wages increase way slower than the increase in productivity.

Hence, the average worker become more and more cuck every decade.
