Our current capitalistic system has been too heavily influenced by communism.

>>13374335

What if you hustle and scheme and work yourself into a position of wealth and power, and then use your vast influence to help bring about the downfall of capitalism?

>>13374397

Learn to me how to make money in my sleep. So I could affirm life and stop being lazy.

Anon, 1% of the population owns 48% of the wealth. This might be fine, if everyone else were living comfortably. But many are in poverty, and others are just barely surviving. This is unacceptable, and needs reformation.

>>13374432
This is even more terryfying when you start to consider that the West, over a century and half, has exported most of the sweatshops and their affiliated misery to the places which took them. We literaly relocated misery.

Capital is machinc (non-instrumental) globalization-miniaturization scaling dilation: an automatizing nihilist vortex, neutralizing all values through commensuration to digitized commerce, and driving a migration from despotic command to cyber-sensitive control: from status and meaning to money and information. Its function and formation are indissociable, comprising a teleonomy. Machine-code-capital recycles itself through its axiomatic of consumer control, laundering-out the shit- and blood-stains of primitive accumulation. Each part of the system encourages maximal sumptuous expenditure, whilst the system as a whole requires its inhibition. Schizophrenia. Dissociated consumers destine themselves as worker-bodies to cost control.

Capital-history's machinic spine is coded, axiomatized, and diagrammed, by a disequilibrium technoscience of irreversible, indeterministic, and increasingly nonlinear processes, associated sucessively with thermotechnics, signaletics, cybernetics, complex systems dynamics, and artificial life. Modernity marks itself out as hot culture, captured by a spiralling involvement with entropy deviations camouflaging an invasion from the future, launched back out of terminated security against everything that inhibits the meltdown process.

Hot cultures tend to social dissolution. They are innovative and adaptive. They always trash and recycle cold cultures. Primitivist models have no subversive use.

The Turing Test. Monetarizing power tends to effacement of specific territorial features as it programs for migration into cyberspace. Capital only retains anthropological characteristics as a symptom of underdevelopment; reformatting primate behaviour as inertia to be dissipated in self-reinforcing artificiality. Man is something for it to overcome: a problem, drag.

Commoditization conditions define technics as a substitute for human activity accounted as wage costs. Industrial machines are deployed to dismantle the actuality of the proletariat, displacing it in the direction of cyborg hybridization, and realizing the plasticity of labour power. The corresponding extraction of tradable value from the body, quantified as productivity, sophisticates at the interface. Work tracks thermodynamic negentropism by dissociating exertion into increasingly intricate functional sequences; from pedals, levers, and vocal commands, through the synchronization of production-line tasks and time-motion programs, to sensory-motor transduction within increasingly complex and self-micromanaged artifical environments, capturing minutely adaptive behaviour for the commodity. Autocybernating market control guides the labour-process into immersion.

Agreed, workers should stop sharing the fruits of their labour with shareholders and other interest and rent collecting parasites, as well as their bodyguard (the state)

The Native Americans were right, cameras really do steal people's souls.

>woahhh you critique capitalism but you also indulge in it
Yeah, and Marx also sold his books. What's your point? The system is inescapable for the individual. That does not mean the individual cannot criticise the system.
>it's easy to make money
If that were the case then 1% of the population would not own 50% of the worlds wealth while people literally starve to death. Also Marxist critique does not stop at "money is hard to make" as if that's the only charge we can levy against capitalism. Very poor attempt at a thread my friend.

>>13374335
what does this have to do with literature?

idk i used to be a free market libertarian all about competition and natural selection etc. but when i realized the rich are the ones going to stay rich and it's a pretty seriously entrenched ruling class in the west some kind of socialism became obvious to me on a basic human dignity level, even if just my own. unless you're ruling class it's against your basest will to power to want to uphold their position. it's probably cucked and definitely gay.

cringe boomer post

I don't see why just a little socialism is not achievable. Just universal healthcare. Yang's idea of a freedom dividend. What's wrong with that? If anything it would boost capitalist ideas as all of that goodwill, health and investment will flood back into the economy. Where else could it go?

You're right though. Fuck communism.

>>13375841
that's not socialism.

Socialism is when workers own the means of production, that's just welfare and wealth redistribution

>>13375852
owning the means of production means very little if you don't also own the means of distribution

They try to achieve communism, then it ultimately ends with government control to enforce the communistic ideals, it is shit, then they claim it wasn't real communism. "Real communism" is an ideal, one that will likely never happen. It won't happen because it is adverse to our nature, and how the world actually works.

Common ownership of the means of production is ridiculous. Creation of things like the Means of Productions requires capital, whether state or private capital. There has to be ways to save up and plan other wise the fruits of production are just wasted by consumption, there has to be authority over how the resources are allocated, with capitalism that authority goes to the person that started the business and put his own capital on the line, the success or failure of that business is on him, and he has incentive and reward for success. Another way of dealing with the problem of authority would be that of the state, under which the government is responsible for the success and failure, and the burden of success or failure can have huge consequences on the entirety of the nation. Of course neither of those options are true communism.

True Communism is severely inefficient at allocation of resources that even "state capitalism" could solve, capitalism. Marx assumed that he lived in a time where production was at a point where allocation of resources was unnecessary and limitless.

This, use the freedom of information act to find out how much money college administrators make if you want to really get mad. The indoctrination is a smoke screen.
>president makes nearly $1M a year with a free house
>incompetent admins all make $500k+ with bonuses even though they keep fucking up
>my lab has no air conditioning and the building is infested with cockroaches
>overcrowding denies me services I paid for
>gotta build a new stadium for more $$$
>don't worry the money will go into the admins pockets and we'll raise tuition again
>don't you want your president to get another designer suit?
College administrators are thieves who hide behind the whole liberal thing, don't fall for it, direct more of your rage at them and not the dumb feminist professor making $45k.

Absolute cringe. Communism doesn't advocate for the abolition of all authority in the workplace. Most commies advocate for some form of democracy in the workplace where managers and officials are elected by the workers whereupon they will form commitees and decide as elected officials working for the interests of the workers what plans of action they are going to take. For an analogy we can use the army. No single oligarch owns the army and takes all of its profits. Instead, it is socially owned. Just because it is socially owned does not mean it is devoid of authority; in fact the army is renowned for its stringent hierarchies.

Don't forget tax evasion by giant corporations and wealthy individuals, not to mention businesses cutting employee hours so they don't have to provide healthcare allowing your tax dollars to subsidize employees healthcare with medicaid and food stamps. And low income housing.

there is literally nothing wrong with owning what you produce and choosing to part with it on terms you determine are most beneficial for your efforts.

the only people who dislike this arrangement are people who produce nothing.

>>13378645
>its about people in largely physical labor industries or industries with easily transferrable skills who produce for others what they should produce for themselves
unions are self-medicating corporatism. if they have the effort and skill to unionize, they have the effort and skill to produce for themselves. capitalism is not individualist, it relies on a consumer.
