>falling for this anarcho-capitalist meme
capitalism is specifically designed to lead to concentration of wealth in the hands of the few. larger corporations benefit from economies of scale. so they can afford to under-cut ma and pa shops on prices. they can afford to pay their workers more.

Minimum wage laws and regulations can compound the problem even more for small businesses. That is not socialism though. This is social democracy.

socialism = worker or worker's republic state ownership of the means of production
social democracy = mixed economy. predominately private ownership of the means of production (capitalism) with state regulations like minimum wage, labour laws, regulations, etc. social democracy states might have some public ownership (ie. post office) but predominately private.

>> No.9585628

As a socialist, I am torn on the subject of minimum wage, labour laws, regulations, etc.
As a socialist, I believe the workers should own the means of production. Minimum wage, labour laws, regulations, etc. are just a band-aid "fix" for capitalism. Workers are still being exploited of their surplus labour value. If they were not, the corporation would go outta business. Extracting surplus labour value is absolutely mandatory in capitalism or else you are finished as a business.

People in the first world who are willing to work should be able to afford a decent minimum standard of living. And they should have a minimum guarantee of health and safety in the workplace. Stuff like that. So I can understand raising the minimum wage and having regulations.

However if minimum wage makes it harder for small businesses to keep people employed or they have to slash hours, there are unintended negative consequences that come with that. Is the government going to start subsidising struggling businesses in order to remain compliant with minimum wage and regulations? Maybe the government is going to start buying shares/points in struggling businesses in exchange for financial support?

If I were a socialist party politician or Bernie Sanders or something, I would actually consider the latter as a way to transition capitalism into socialism. If you have a struggling business that can't keep up with a decent minimum wage and can't meet regulations, I would have the government front you capital in exchange for ownership shares of your company. Hell if you let the company go outta business, the government can just pick up the pieces at a cut-rate and seize the means of production entirely.

Sometimes I wonder if Bernie Sanders and such are hiding their powerlevel and that's their end game all along. Raise the minimum wage and regulations in order to squeeze out small private businesses that can't hang. And then have the government jump in, seize means of production in bankruptcy

To put it bluntly, the plebs are brainlets who will run everything into the ground. There’s are reason why all goods and services in the eastern bloc were utter shit. When it came to agriculture, the seizing of the means of production lead to the biggest famines in world history. Commies have a lot of blood on their hands.
You need to accept that nature is seemingly unfair. Some people are just better than others and they deserve to run shit and they deserve to be rewarded for that. They’re not just better than others, they are infinitely better than others. Read about Price’s Law. It applies to scientific papers as well as tree heights in the Amazon jungle.
The beautiful thing is that a rising tide lifts all boats. Look at what’s happening in China or Pajeetland. Just a little bit of free market captialism has already lifted countless millions of people out of abject poverty. Socialist should be applauding that, but as we all know, socialists don’t like poor people, they just hate the rich.

I agree with the comic but anarchocapitalism can never sustain itself, there will always be someone who gains enough power in the vacuum to eventually impose rules on everyone else.

That's not the definition of socialism.
In socialism, workers receive the full fruit of their labour because they own the means of production. In capitalism, the shareholders extract profit off the backs of their workers. Socialism literally rewards labouring more than capitalism does. Capitalism rewards "entrepreneurship", which is a nice way of saying exploiting workers.

It's funny how they keep saying "it's not real capitalism". But capitalism can't actually exist without the state enforcing private property laws.

You might pay some protection money to a DRO, which will basically be the mafia all over again. Which is basically a defacto state anyways.

Unironically curious: Do all the workers get an equal share of the pie? The manager gets as much as the cleaning lady? Probably not, right?
If not, who decides who gets how much of the pie? Is this slice of the pie going to be proportional to the contribution of the individual worker? That would be fair, right?
If yes, you’d have to reward the square root of your workers with half the pie. And then the square root of that square root gets half of the half, etc.
Voila you’ve just created a system where a few managers at the top get huge salaries while the ground floor workers get a very small ones. How unfair right?
But you see, because you’ve rewarded those few at the top, they will have an incentive and the capability (!) to make sure that the pie gets larger and larger, thus the everybody wins.
Now you might argue that the top workers shouldn’t be rewarded with a bigger piece of the pie but other forms of recognition. Like “Held der Arbeit” medals in East Germany. That worked out well, didn’t it? The Trabant was so much better than a Mercedes.

But that’s not what happens in reality. There’s a lot of turnover at top. A large part of the people who reach the 1% of wealth don’t stay in the 1% for long. And even if they manage to hold on to their wealth during their lifetime, there’s a high chance that their children or grandchildren will squander it. Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations. Read about the regression to the mean and how it applies to IQ. In a nutshell: children of very smart and productive people are most likely to be less smart and productive than their parents. That’s why the turnover happens.
There are very few examples where families manage to hold on to their wealth for more than a few generations (lords in England, nobility in Italy, the Rothschilds) and in almost all of these cases they use the corrupt power of the state to entrench their riches. We need less state, of we want to prevent that.

The correlation is of course not 1 but it’s pretty damn strong. IQ is a predictor of success no matter how you slice and dice it.
There are two footnotes though:
First there’s seems to be sweet spot for IQ around 130, which is why the richest people don’t necessarily have the highest IQs. The genius level IQs often suffer from mental health issues and from my anecdotal evidence, they’re simply not interested in wealth accumulation.
Second, IQ is not the only predictor of success. There’s also the big 5 personality traits which are somewhat less heritable than intelligence.

>Do all the workers get an equal share of the pie?
No absolutely not. There are far less people who have the skills to be a doctor than there are people who have the skills to be a janitor. And health care is pretty damn important. So you need to give doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, welders, plumbers, carpenters, etc. enough money to entice them to stick around and not fuck off to another jurisdiction (brain drain).

>The manager gets as much as the cleaning lady?
A manager would get more sure. Assuming you need to offer more money to get competent managers than competent cleaning ladies.

>who decides who gets how much of the pie?
The state (worker's republic). Obviously El Presidente is not going to decide the salaries for everyone. No one has all the answers. That's why we have delegates. I don't know exactly how much we need to pay doctors in order to keep them happy. I would hire subject-matter experts to figure that shit out for me.

>Is this slice of the pie going to be proportional to the contribution of the individual worker?
Everyone gets a living wage guarantee. I would implement incentive pay for performance metrics. For base salary, I would pay the worker whatever I would need to to make sure they don't walk (leave the country). I don't want a situation where doctors, engineers, etc. are leaving.

>Voila you’ve just created a system where a few managers at the top get huge salaries while the ground floor workers get a very small ones.
Managers are nothing without their worker ants. The worker ants are the ones doing the work. The managers offer direction. Managers are over-glorified in capitalism. Particularly senior managers like CEOs. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $70 billion. His engineers get paid like $100k/year. Is he really worth almost a million times more than his engineers? No. You could probably hire someone competent to be a CEO of a state-run IT firm for $200,000/year.

Nope, Price’s Law is pretty clear on that. You cannot fathom how much more productive the people at the very top are compared to the rest. The difference is staggering and quite frankly unsettling.

I made all of this money buying and selling memecoins while hard-working people are getting cuckolded every single day. If I make a couple million, I'm going to retire from day trading and do something pro-social and fulfilling with my life without having to worry about money ever again. In capitalism if you want to win, you have to fuck people over. That is the name of the game. Whether you are cuckolding your employees or cuckolding your clients. Or cuckolding someone you are trading against.

On a superficial level I was arguing semantics but read my chimp example again. What goes for chimps also goes for humans. There’s a common perception that the people at the top are all ruthless sociopaths when in reality those sociopaths never stay at the top for long. The most successful people are in most cases those that bring a net benefit to society. The evidence for that seems pretty clear if you look at the trajectory of human development.

You need to develop your fucking economy regardless of what economic system you use. A semi-industrialised country is going to have lower living standards than an industrialised one. Every country that tried socialism was poor to start with (Note: Sweden is not socialist, that's social democracy). Which makes fucking sense because your citizens need to be pretty fucking pissed off in order to be motivated to violently seize the means of production. As we saw with the Russian and Cuban revolutions. America, Canada, etc. did a good job of bribing the working class to be compliant with social democratic reforms. The capitalist class used to actually be afraid that America, Canada, etc. would become socialist. They bribed the working class by letting them keep more of their money among other things. And what we saw Post-WWII was the fucking golden age for the working class in the west.

Once again, Canada, Switzerland, etc. had an enormous headstart on Yugoslavia.

And the US imperialists had trade embargos and other bullshit placed on Yugoslavia. If you're not allowed to sell your fucking exports, you can't buy imports. Without international trade, your standard of living is going to suffer. US imperialism was indeed very brutal. Yugoslavia from my understanding was reliant on exports to the United States. The US cut them off. They had to find other trade partners. The US was encouraging allies to black-ball Yugoslavia from trading. That has a devastating impact on the economy.

Yugoslavia should have diversified their economy more instead of focusing too much on oil. Canada has the same problem right now. Just not to the same extent. Canada is heavily dependent on oil exports. Once the price of oil tanked, the Canadian dollar went down a lot. Canada's import-to-export ratio increased. Which leads to problems like devaluing the dollar and can lead to inflation (I definitely think it caused inflation in Canada. What with the prices going up so often.)

The strength of your economy is determined by three factors
- Natural resources
- "Human capital" (skill set of the labour force)
- International trade

If you don't have natural resources, if you don't have a developed workforce and you don't have international trade (preferably balanced international trade or else this causes problems for your economy), you're not going to have a strong economy.

>What personal benefit is it to them to own the means of production if apparently they're not consuming a lot of resources anyways?
Son, listen, and listen carefully.
Take all of the consumer goods consumed by the capitalists in 10 years vs all of the consumer goods consumed by the working class in 10 years.
The capitalists would have consumed less than 1% of all goods produced in the economy.
A single capitalist consumes what looks like a lot of resources(big house, cars, yachts etc) so personally to that individual capitalist they are benefiting a lot. But when you take the total number of resources consumed by the capitalist class, vs the working class, it's incredibly small. There is such a small number of capitalists so in comparison to what the working class consumes it's a drop in the bucket.
How then is it possible to get "surplus value" back from the capitalists, if the working class consumes 99% of the end products of what they produce?
HOW?
They LITERALLY CANNOT.

>Yes tell that to the tens of millions of Americans who die because they can't afford health insurance.
LMAO WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? HOLY SHIT YOU'RE DUMB
First of all USA healthcare system is expensive because it's a bureaucratic government mess. Healthcare used to be cheap as fuck in the USA in the 50s/60s back when it was much more of a free market.
Countries with government healthcare just ration their care leading to lack of care. Look at the NHS.
Switzerland and singapore have privatized healthcare but they have more of a market system than the USA so their healthcare is much cheaper.

This is an ENTIRELY different conversation though because the point is that the working class consumes 99% of all consumer goods, if you took rich people's wealth and gave it to the working class it would just cause massive inflation.

Oh boy. This is fake as fuck. The problem with this entire theory is people value shit different dependent on time preferences. Labors value money more now, while capitalists value it more in the future which makes surplus value evaporate because Marx is wrong about capital being valued in wage time. Its not. Someone's utility for an item is what makes it valuable, and because this isn't set in stone it can be affected by time preferences.

There is already an abundance of food in this country, some people go hungry because they're brainlets but there are still soup kitchens. But the main problem is inflation causing food prices to go up.

Why would restaurants throw out perfectly good food and WASTE MONEY on it?
They would get outcompeted by companies that were more conservative with their food.
That food that is wasted is most likely expired.
I worked in food service, I know.

Innovation is gambling for them. It's too risky.

Big businesses always buy startups to stay competitive.
Monopolies are paper tigers. Startups are always sprouting up to overthrow them.
Big business relies on heavy regulation to suppress startups and stay in power.

price gauging is only good for consumers only in the very short term. guess what happens after a company reaches monopoly? the prices are increased several times over what would be offered if there was competition. this actually happened in my country: there were two big gas station companies and about a dozen small ones. the two big guys made and agreement to lower the price of gas in their stations below profit line (they were losing money in my county, but since they had gas stations in other ones they could sustain it). in my county they were actually stopped and fined by the governments competition council, while in the other county they did the same thing several years ago without intervention. the smaller competitors went bankrupt and the prices of gas increased dramatically in those two big companies (so much that people still go to my county, driving ~200km just to buy gas).

You do know that when there is inflation, that means that printed money is going somewhere and that someone is buying goods and services with that money right? Do you want a hint as to where that money is going? Worker wages have not kept pace with inflation. But the S&P500 has beat inflation. There is your answer. It's the bourgeoisie that is benefiting from this money printing. Not the workers. Follow the money. It works every time.

>There is. Government boosts the price of houses with central banking so it's very difficult for poorer people to afford them.

again, the price gauging is nice in the very short term. sure, you get cheap gas for like 6 months. after that youre going to pay through the roof for your gas or drive 200km just to fill your tank.
and you cant just instantly spin up a new business. in my example, the smaller gas stations were all bought by the duopoly. if you want to start a new gas station, you need starting capital to build it, to buy your first gas supply, etc., and you need to make a profit rather soon to recoup your initial investment. but what kind of idiot (well i guess you) would risk his capital to start a business in this environment, where the duopoly will lower their prices as soon as you open your doors? you will go bankrupt soon, they will buy out your station for pennies on a dollar and raise the prices again.

Yes exactly. Where we differ is in our suggested solutions. I wish to replace the government we have now with a Marxist-Leninist government. One that is loyal to the working class.

There aren't any real old-school Marxist-Leninist's left. On /leftypol/ I have been called a Nazi (National Socialist) and Nazbol (National Bolshevik). I don't consider myself a nationalist. Let alone a WN. But anyone who doesn't tow the SJW line is a Nazi or Nazbol in their eyes. I want the SJW cancer to die. But the truth is, they are winning the culture war. Not the alt-right. When the antifa cucks have the power to get people fired, they are winning. It doesn't matter that Trump is in. Capitalists don't want to associate with anything politically incorrect because they don't want to tarnish their brand.

>If we had no central bank, the working class would a lot better off.
>Socialists and keynesians cucks love central banking though.
>You love central banking.
Nothing wrong with having a central bank if the right people are in charge and have the right agenda. The problem with a gold standard is that if the government needs to print more money for something that is beneficial to society, they can't. Like say investing more money into health care or nationalising private businesses so that the means of production is now owned by the worker's republic.

You can disregard Mein Kampf if you'd like (bulky, often tiring and long wided book, there's other work that better transmit the principles behind National Socialism, ironically)
You can also trade The Jews and Their Lies by Culture of Critique which is 100x better, and absolutely leave any of Evola's works to the very end. You need to truly learn how to read before you tackle his shit.

Think about it this way.
In an ancap or minarchist society there is deflation due to an abundance of capital and consumer goods.

This results in lower prices and higher real wages.

People(including the super rich) would have an abundance of disposable income to donate to research firms, and the research firms themselves would benefit from cheaper capital good prices.

It's more important to understand and internalize the so called Fascist worldview before talking about what one wants to accomplish. But the gist of any Fascist is generally to give new life to the dying tree of his people, outlive the dark of the night so bask in the dawn of the black sun, and survive the winter of his folk. I guess there is a specific expression of the Fascist worldview that I'd like to exert, but that wouldn't necessarily reveal the fundamentals.
The "dumb" Fascist is a Fascist at the bottom steps of the staircase, he only remains a knob head if he wants to. People who spend the rest of their lives worshipping dead institutions just don't get it (think of any specific past regime, pretty much, the Pinochetfags who aren't even proper fash, or the naziboos who specifically want nazibooshit when they aren't even German).

Read "Fascism Viewed from the Right", it's 20th century criticism of Fascist regimes (particularly Italy and Germany), made by someone who spent time in both countries and hung out with it's top figures. You might like the spin on the idea because Fascism Viewed from The Right is a criticism of Fash not being Fash enough, not being "right winged" enough, and it even tackles totalitarianism and other stuff. Might make you see it in another light.

>the point is that private ownership IS AN ESTATE

from wikipedia:
An estate, in common law, is the net worth of a person at any point in time alive or dead. It is the sum of a person's assets – legal rights, interests and entitlements to property of any kind – less all liabilities at that time.

Why would ancaps support a single person claiming a monopoly on law on a specific territory?
Are you actually this stupid?

There are enough resources to go around for everyone. Food, housing, transportation, health care, clothing, water, electricity, petroleum (we need to move to renewable energy though), etc. The problem is the current distribution of money, which determines the allocation of said resources. Agriculture is so efficient these days, it's unbelievable. You can feed lots and lots of people with very little actual labour because of all the machines. It's incredible. Agribusiness receives lots of subsidies from the government as-is. So technically I don't see why agribusiness shouldn't just be owned by the government anyways since they are corporate welfare queens.

>You reduce the purchasing power of their WAGES.
Not if monetary policy is designed to benefit the working class. When the government spends money, it goes somewhere. I wouldn't feel bad about reducing the value of your savings to make sure that we have more doctors, nurses and hospitals. It's no different than Tesla issuing new shares in their corporation. It dilutes the value of the current shares. But they issue the new shares in order to raise funds to grow their company.

There actually is a shortage of some of these resources, some other ones there is an abundance of(HOUSING) but central banks won't let the price of housing come down, they are literally restricting supply causing a shortage.

Either way 99% of the working class consume these resources. Taking over the means of production will not benefit the working class.

Hospitals in the US to my knowledge are for-profit organisations making assloads of money. Pharmaceutical companies make assloads of money. Health insurance companies make assloads of money. These parasites will be no more in a Marxist-Leninist system as health care will be non-profit. We pay the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, hospital administrators, etc. what we need to. There are no (((shareholders))) skimming off the top. Canada has a non-profit system (some of our health care is private though). And our health care costs per capita are less than half the US. And the stuff that is privatised here in Canada like ambulance service, pharmaceutical drugs and dental care is expensive.

I love it when Americans talk about how our Canadian health care system is so terrible. No the difference is in Canada there is a percentage chance that a rich person could actually die while waiting for treatment. Whereas in the US rich people can skip the line while poor people inevitably die because they can't afford health insurance or their plan doesn't cover the treatment. What's better? A chance to live while you wait for treatment or 100% chance of death? And yes the Canadian system isn't perfect. Health care here is not as good as Sweden and some European countries.

Except that is not what's happening. Prices are continuing to rise on everything. Simple foods like eggs have gone up drastically in price, housing is impossible to afford for the constantly squeezed middle class, and education costs have gone out of control (tbf this is the government's fault on that one). I haven't seen anything really go down in price, even when a company is literally going out of business like Toys R Us. They still refuse to lower prices any further than about 30% on most items. Turning a profit is MORE important and if it's still possible to do so even if people are squeezed, businesses will continue to do that. They can simply market to people who still have money to spend. Peasant markets like Walmart can go down the toilet and it wouldn't matter.

I call bullshit on the working class consuming 99% of the resources. You also know that you could actually create more resources too right? (unless we're talking non-renewable natural resources). The employment rate is actually really low. Lots of NEETs need jobs and they can be used to create more resources. We can literally hire 30 year old NEETs to make chicken tendies and hot pockets in a factory.

As for housing being an issue because of the central banks, in a Marxist-Leninist society the banks would be publicly-owned. And renting out homes would be illegal in a Marxist-Leninist society so this would lead to a decrease in housing prices. Only the worker's republic would be able to rent units. And we would rent units at-cost because we don't have to deliver any profits to (((shareholders))).

>No brainlet, I want to abolish central banks so poor people can actually consume these resources.
But if the central bank is under Marxist-Leninist rule, the monetary policy would be for the working class.

If you have a gold standard, what happens is the late adopters (the millennials) are going to be financially cuckolded by the early adopters (boomers). Just like with crypto. lmao.

Interesting point on the last bit, but this is precisely the reason I invested in crypto. Being at the top of a ponzi is fucking amazing. Millenials are basically like crypto December buyers at this point and 80's children are now being dubbed the "lost generation" as they all graduated school and entered the workforce during 07'/08' and are completely fucked. Many have extremely large gaps on their resumes exceeding 5 years and are no longer counted in employment statistics.

However I think gen Z will be a lot better off in the ponzi than millenials since there will be recovery by the time the younger ones start working.
