It's not the stock market crash, it's neoliberal capitalism's complete inability to cope with something like a pandemic. Giving $1000 to everyone is a MASSIVE concession for the capitalist class, and this is only the beginning.

When was the actual starting point of this type of parasitic banker capitalism
was there a time where there was true freedom? Was it the Wild West?

[Anonymous No.17916533]

Because WW2 saved it by merit of providing a plethora of opportunities to the lower and middle class, who were then able to pull themselves out of poverty with government IOU's that secured them huge injections of money that landed them stable housing, investment materials, and the ability to pay for basic essentials for years simply because of their involvement with the war effort. The price of goods were also pathetically low thanks to overproduction and as such everybody was able to afford whatever they wanted for decades. As such, tons of workers became business owners, tons of business owners could hire tons of works, and things blossomed from there.

As of right now, 99% of military supplies are produced by an extremely small minority of corporate entities and there is no way to replicate the same explosive economic upturn we had in the 30's to 40's. The cost of goods has only increased in this time of crisis because businesses want to pull every shekel they can and hold onto it while the situation blows over, nobody is able to go to work (unlike before where jobs didn't want to hire people, now already-employed people are functionally restricted from their own jobs), income is literally frozen for millions of Americans, businesses being on lockdown for weeks (possibly months) will translate to billions in lost daily revenue, and when this is all "over" and in the clear, there will be no sufficient way to recover from this without either punishing the already wealthy businesses (which will literally never happen) or sucking yet more from the already struggling lower class (which will result in the US's poverty-stricken poor being incapable of living day to day). There is no solution to this downward spiral, and the response has been pathetically slow. It's going to be too little too late and devastate the most Capitalistic nation on the planet because of simple poor leadership.

I'm not saying the virus isn't a thing or doesn't have an effect, of course it does. It's fucking up the planet.
But the reason the effect is so damn strong is, because there's nothing real propping up the market and the virus could disappear tomorrow and we'd still continue down, because this debt bubble got popped.
This market is now tumbling down and there's no stopping it.
If for example we were in a real bull market and companies were profitable and didn't have retarded amount of debt, they would be able to make through this fine.
But instead a week into a lockdowns we see them crying for bailouts because they're fundamentally so shit and debt ridden, that they can't stay alive without constant cheap or free money.
Metals taking a dump happened during 08 too. It's about the liquidity. Oil is because of the Saudis and Russians having their oil war and Bitcoin was never any real hedge.
It's untested territory that's owned by the Wall St and it's treated as a speculative risky asset, which means people dump it.
So the virus has a big and very real effect, but the severity of the effect isn't because of the virus but because of the shitty fundamentals and we're going to dump for a long while to come.
The debt system itself is taking a shit.

Everytime a capitalist government makes a mistake, does this mean capitalism in general is a fuck? Every government regardless of ideology can fuck things up. The USSR was of course no exception (it broke up for a reason). Its economic planning was also substandard, but it's not like socialists haven't already thought of that and tried to make improvements. Cybersocialism is unironically very promising, especially considering the vast computing power enabled by modern supercomputers.

The reason we think socialism will save us from climate catastrophe is that the profit motive inherent in capitalism encourages a retarded waste of resources (that many proponents of capitalism seems completely oblivious to). You spend resources employing marketers to manipulate people into creating an artificial demand for completely unnecessary shit like fidget spinners, and then you waste even more resources producing those fidget spinners, and then you waste even more resources transporting the fidget spinners to customers all over.
To make things worse, companies design commodities to last SHORTER, because they fear saturating their own market (look up planned obsolesence if you don't believe me).

But this is ackkshually a good thing because of muh economic growth and job creation or whatever. No it's not. It's completely irrational behavior, akin to the Chinese ghost cities meme. It is production with no meaning and no purpose except increasing the wealth of some yuppie fuck. Capitalism is irrational and inefficient in ways most right-wingers don't even realize.

It was a most blatant false flag by Milosevic to hijack power and leech of the federation for himself and his relatives. They fell for it, every other ethnicity noped the fuck out as soon as the Kosovo shenanigans began ending with Kosovo itself splitting and actually kicking their serbian minority out. No other country has fucked itself so hard since germans. Brits might come close to those levels soon.

It works in the sense that it's a better starting point for an economic system vs. the alternatives, but outcome is a function of idea and implementation. Capitalism as it's currently implemented is this weird shit version of socialism for the rich and a completely inept regulating body that doesn't seek to incentivize good long term outcomes, but instead just does whatever the fuck lobbyists and bad actors want. And that's the problem with ALL of these economic systems.

I'm just dropping by to say that Communism won't happen until you accept race realism, build a racially homogeneous society (look at every communist country that could pull it off, they weren't "diverse") and understand that materialism is evil and that Marx bastardized the Hegelian dialectic.

Read Giovanni Gentile, he was the first and perhaps, the only real philosophical fascist. He does not outright reject Marx, he just critiques and evolves his theories.

A socialist society is impossible without a community of like people who are engaged in spiritual socialism (we aren't talking about the "soul", for the dipshits who will come at me with anti-religious ferver).

I encourage every leftist in this thread (and righties, too) to read Gentile's works. Fascism came after Communism, as such it gets to enjoy the luxury of being able to critique it. It is, technically, more dialectically advanced.

Literally more democracy. Read the Dictator's Handbook if you want to understand corruption and how dictatorships actually differ from democracies

It's basically about this: the more people you depend on to stay in power, the more sense it makes to invest in collective goods instead of private benefits (bribes, kickbacks, etc) from a purely economic standpoint. You can bribe a lot of military brass with 100 million dollars, but when you're dealing with millions of voters, it's just cheaper to build a hospital or a new school instead of trying to bribe them all directly.

I said mass exodus. Which mostly ended after 1950. 13.3 million people migrating over 40 year isn't that big.

Both of you are correct. World War 2 was the most direct resurgence in the American economy since 1) it revitalized the raw material production and a wide range of industrial tycoons due to the demands of war and 2) since all of Europe was basically leveled and destitute the United States was in a great position to basically rebuild the world economy. On top of that, the GI bill opened the way for the average Joe to revitalize the domestic economy with generous small business loans and a widening of higher education, the latter of which especially important and led to an overall raise in the value of human capital in the country.

However, there was still that ~20 year period between the war and the depression where one ambitious man (Huey Long) would have a very good shot at seizing power if the government failed to do everything they can to keep people working and keep the country growing somehow. FDR pushed the limits of the power of the Oval Office and managed to spend a metric fuckton of money and get it into the domestic economy; of course such heavy use of power was not popular, and by his third term began having significant pushback against many of his policies in both Congress and the Supreme Court.

These sanctions are gradually beginning to become less and less effective however, as nations like China and Russia are flouting them and assisting nations caught in the crosshairs of Amerimutt imperialism.

Ah yes, "humanitarian aid" which was totally not weapons and supplies for the opposition masked as "humanitarian aid." Why offer "humanitarian aid" in the first place if the US supposedly didn't place sanctions on medical equipment entering Venezuela?

Because the Venezuelan economy collapsed in 2013 due to hyperinflation leading to 4 million Venezuelan refugees to leave their country and flood the rest of South America like an exploding pus-filled zit. Humanitarian aid has been offered since then.

Sanctions didn't exist until 2017 and those only covered oil not medicines.

I'm South American so I know what I'm talking about. My city is full of memezuelans.

Speaking of, I know for a fact that bonds existed during the time of the gold standard. How did they manage to coexist and how can that be conveyed to the modern citizen and investor?

Have some physical cash, physical gold, and a ready supply of cash to slowly invest in stocks and bonds. True diversification is across asset classes. That is how you hedge your bets.

I wish that the idea of "left wing versus right wing" would die in the coming decade.

It wasn't due to hyperinflation it was due to the oil price collapse. Hyperinflation occurred thereafter.

Perhaps we implement oracles to facilitate this decentralized direct democratic society?

How do you explain the isolationist period of the United States when communism first took hold in the USSR?
