>Capitalism is the driving force for innovation
It isn't.
>it encourages collaboration and therefore peace when war is more costly than beneficial in the short-term
Oh fuck. You're crazy.
>it stimulates rising productivity
To what ends?

Necessity is the reason for invention. capitalism encourages competition and combativeness. Haven't you ever heard of the military industrial complex? That is a market driven state of perpetual warfare. Fostering "peace when war is more costly" is never taken into account because war always profits someone. Obviously not the soldier/freeloader.

I see where you're coming from, I was born into this mindset. People aren't inherently lazy. A post-capitalist civilization wouldn't be a world devoid of work. on the contrary, it would be just as hard if not harder, but the majority would all rise to the occasion. A healthy happy and properly educated society could make this world work.

A-ha! So the concept predates even the latin we use to describe it. It's from a society that had not devil either.
Thanks.

You just used the term "Blairite." His thinking there was probably like his thinking on Bush, which has been dealt with nicely ITT already.

Now that Blaire isn't even an issue today and Islamo-fascism still very much is, I think that makes you the fucking idiot. But no offense.

Old theists, obviously. Murderous madmen theists.

Make a thread on that please.

When I say I closed that thread, I only meant I hid it from my sight. I delete nothing. Never been a mod/janitor.

Naw. ...Democratic socialist if you must have a label.

>>4321121
This.

anti-Semitism/antiJudaism, sexism, and racism isn't nice, mmkay? Anonymous reports on anonymous. The janitor cleans it up when it is reported, and doesn't even look around for anything else to clan up.

>I'm sure it would cause major butthurt.
Not with me.

I propose a name change from /it/ to /list/, since literature is simply listed here rather than being discussed. This way we can merge /mu/ and /lit/ together.

All in favour report in.
