You think the study of how society works interpreted numerically doesn't have a good grasp on what or would not work in society?

Accountants are bugmen so this isn't really a surprise.

>>14568171
Not that anon but they study how our current society works numerically. accounting and economics would work differently under a socialist government. They don't want a shift in the status quo because then they can't hoard their precious wealth.

>>14568213
You've got literally zero clue what accounting actually is.

>>14568126
Socialism as in American social librulism or Soviet-style planned economy? I find it hard to believe that only 61% of economists have an unfavorable view of socialism.

>>14568171
Accounting students are like robots. They generally have zero intellectual curiosity or capacity for rational inquiry.

>>14568126
No shit, they are economic determinists

>>14568247
This anon right here.

Accounting is studying what we have and how we use it, obviously providing a bunch of shit for free means shortages are inevitable, especially since there's zero price incentive for producers.

>>14568207
you mean bankers? They already got the government to take care of them

Philosophy is real shit bro I too love the sweet smell of underclass dong

>>14568260
Capitalism = free shit for idle parasitic 'owners' and their heirs
Socialism = workers get what they earn; no more, no less

>>14568126
Pure accounting is going to be automated
The rest of those parasites could be done away with by having a non retarded tax system

Workers get what they earn retard, the wage differential is a result of the cognitive difficulty of the work

>bugmen are ideologically castrated
wow really makes you think

>>14568286
Are you retarded? Owners don't receive wages. They receive capital income. Being a trustfunded NYC hipster is not "cognitively difficult".

>>14568286
>Workers get what they earn retard, the wage differential is a result of the cognitive difficulty of the work
how do owners make profit if everyone earns the value they put into the company? there would literally be no surplus

>>14568288
imagine thinking anthropology or philosophy retards aren’t total bugs, lmao

>>14568298
Manual labour is not cognitively difficult in any capacity, organizing people by layers of incentives in any setting is
Labour is dead weight absent the organizational capability of capital

>>14568304
I have no opinion on anthro but philosophy is one of the least bugman majors

>>14568281
Accounting has already been automated for multiple decades now, despite that the field continues to grow.

>>14568320
Who said anything about "manual labor"? The people organizing and managing an organization are also collecting wages, hence are workers themselves. All workers are exploited under capitalism by the non-working capital class.

Funny that stemlords fall in the middle.

If I charge you to use my machine to make your money then I'm earning my money by virtue of owning the machine. The idea of "free stuff" to someone for something they already own is one of the most pants-on-head retarded takes I've ever heard.

>>14568402
The concept of "ownership" is itself the greatest instance of "giving out free stuff" that a State can engage in.

>>14568247
I was just trying to explain it using the terms of the post i was responding to.
>>14568260
True, under a capitalist framework. the point is socialism disagrees with that framework. you think accountants would be applying their skills in the same way under socialist rule?
>>14568320
Imagine being a wage slave and actively promoting the fuckery of your overlords. Think about megachurches, for example. Do you truly believe that it is more cognitively difficult to preach bullshit twice a week than it is to be a small business owner?

>>14568336
No there is still tons of filing and reconciling that could be automated

Lawyer by day, musician by night here. Socialism is dope.

>>14568425
>you think accountants would be applying their skills in the same way under socialist rule
Yes, as long as the tax code was the same

>jobs with the most money and power are averse to leveling the playing field

color me surprised

>>14568425
The point of socialism is incorrect. It draws human beings as outside of the laws of nature and thinks we can live like a hive with no personal benefit.

No one will do that and eventually people will break out of your system.

>>14568467
That more describes capitalism than socialism.

>>14568335
What planet are you living on, mate? It’s one of the buggiest.

explain. under capitalism my workplace is a dictatorship and i have no interest whatsoever to work hard or have a passion for my job because i don't have any stake in its ownership

>weaklings and losers suffer from ressentiment

>>14568425
Absolutely nothing to do with what I said, you coping dipshit
Manual labour is not difficult and anyone with limbs and a semi-functional brain can do it. Mental traits including are normally distributed, which is why we see the differential in income we do

>>14568498
Can you imagine actually having to pay to go to university? :^)

>>14568515
Holy based

>>14568500
I sort of agree with you but you’re such a faggot tourist who’s blatantly and obviously from reddit and likely posts on communist tranny discords so please go back.

>>14568340
>all workers are exploited
No, their pay reflects the fact that their work isn’t relatively difficult

>>14568508
But why should people with better mental capacities get paid more? It’s not like they worked hard to become smart.

>>14568508
*including intelligence

>>14568521
Pot kettle etc

>>14568495
I always hear this but my experience with philosophy classes is the exact opposite. Bugmen drop that shit when you have to debate stuff like the value of human life; my professor told a student who didn't think it has any value to slit her wrists

>>14568515
>Can you imagine actually having to pay to go to university? :^)
not as bad as having to pay to have children

>>14568531
“Should” has nothing to do with it, it’s an explanatory factor for why people produce better results for firms, and their higher pay is obviously a function of their ability

>>14568531

What the fuck is a "bugman"? Can we speak English here and not spout ill-defined /b/-tier buzzwords?

>>14568586
being unable to intuit what a bugman is, one of the leading symptoms of bugmanism

>Manual labour is not difficult
Who said anything about "manual labour"? If you collect a paycheck, you are a worker. Under capitalism, your income is stolen by the non-working parasites of the capital class.

>>14568551
Meritocracy is obviously deeply incompatible with capitalism.

>>14568552
>their higher pay is obviously a function of their ability
Completely and utterly irrelevant to the topic on hand. It's not about relative wages (labor income). It's about labor-income vs capital-income.

>>14568630
>Meritocracy is obviously deeply incompatible with capitalism
I was only answering your question. I am not a capitalist.

And there's your problem right there. You are so lacking in intellectual rigor that you don't even realize the futility of arguing over the applicability of vaguely-defined slang neologisms.

>>14568648
intuition is the moment of the absolute and the only way to engage with the thing-in-itself, read Bergman, bugman

god imagine working in the bottom four and not wanting to kill yourself and everyone around you. how do they do it? sociopaths?

accountant wagecucking on a sunday evening here, ask me anything. but just to get the stupid questions out of the way, yes i do have a soul, yes i read more than you

Opinions on the new updates to the tax code? Saw a co-worker throwing out his 2019 books the other day. It was also really funny to have the tax law professor explain justifications for every concept in the class, then only to shrug his shoulders on the new updates.
