The dichotomy capitalism and anticapitalism is inherently atheist, humanistic, since it is what the judeo crhistian bourgeois created in the Parliament of their republics. They put the monarchists on the right and the secular humanists on the left

you see thus that being right wing in a the republic just means monarchist, but now that the humanists killed any political power of the theists, the right is still socialist but dubbed ''right'' and the left is still socialism but dubbed ''left''

There is no difference between left and right in a humanistic republic.The only which changes is the symbols tied to each group.
The underlying basis does not change.
The underlying basis of the republic is the constitution about the Human rights. These rights are the jewel of the judeo chrisitans.

Now the subtle point is that leftists and rightists are okay with that. All what matters for the judeo christian bourgeois is that theists do not take power again. And this happens exactly by giving the illusion to the midwits like you that left and right are separate doctrinally.
So the plebs can vote one time for the left, then they see that the bourgeois ruling class does XYZ, then the plebs whine that the ruling class is not doing what they promised during the campaign, then the next election the plebs swing to the rightists, which is exactly the same people.

Thus there is no ''capitalism'' or anticapitalism.
What there is the Humanist Republic, the dogma of their Human Rights .
This is what capitalism is in its entirety.

Second capitalism cannot be destroyed without destroying the republic and its dogmas. This is what liberals hate to hear.

Third capitalism cannot be destroyed because by the dogma of the Human Rights, any doctrine is turned into a bulk of opinions, which are always shat on if the humanists see it as anti Human rights.
The doctrines which are the most appealing to those people are commodified and capitalism remains unaltered.


This is why btw all the motto and slogans in the humanist elections are always about ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''change'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
the only thing that does not change is exactly the fake symbols made up by the bourgeois about their political dichotomy.

The most important thing for the bourgeois is that the plebs really believe that the rulling class will stop the bourgeoisie after any election.


This is part of the fantasy of the humanist of the '''''''''''''''''perpetual revolution''''''''''''. T'hose people live on their laurels of doing revolution over and over, fighting the cops int he streets as part of the humanistic ritualistic baptism, because killing theist Christians is the only thing they did in their entire history and they only live for this.
but now that theists are destroyed, they have nothing left to do and get bored, so they try to find new topics to ''''''''''''revolutionize'''''''''''''' and just say cops are evil.

You cant control it, mises already demonstrated that
The soviets also very likely read Mises since the Berlin dominated by soviets was where Mises office was in, hence why russia and china realized communism is impossible in a wolrd where people have any free will (and consequently the capacity of choosing something different from others)
The communist end goal, the utopia, is really an ant society, a hive mind, where the workers live only to work and enjoy the labour of each other in the most efficient way possible, everyone makes the same choices like a hive mind to inhibit any hierarchy (though even ants have an hierarchy).

I seriously don’t understand how people can defend Libertarianism and say that regulation isn’t needed because the invisible hand of the free market will handle it, when the Gilded Age was a thing that existed.

Young oyster shuckers, from left to right, Josie, six years old, Bertha, six years old, Sophie, ten years old, Port Royal, South Carolina, 1912.

Work began at 4 AM and ended a 5 PM, making for a 13 hour workday. During winter when things were even busier, they would often be called in at 3:30 A.M. and have their lunches cut short, for no additional pay.

Notice how mangled their fingers are. It is quite easy to end up accidentally cutting yourself while shucking due to fatique, and losing a finger or two to gangrene was not uncommon.

These girls were obviously not able to go to school due to the hours worked, and when they got home they usually had to spend their little remaining time caring for younger siblings and doing household chores, frequently having to forgo a few hours of sleep to keep up with their workload.

I was actually thinking about this a bit, hopefully someone can disagree with me or has some recommendations for books.

The amount of money that billionaires have can not be judged in the same way as that of normal people or even slightly rich people. Normal people mostly use their money for their own survival and some luxuries, someone might for example buy a Porsche or something.
At the level of Bezos his luxuries don't even matter. People get angry when a billionaire buys 2 Ferraris, but first of all that is nothing for him and secondly this doesn't even have any real negative impact on the world economy.
At that level it's more about social and political influence. The problem with just throwing money at problems is, that money itself has no real value, for example it would not help at all to just print money.
If Bezos were to just donate a huge amount of money, what would that mean? I assume that most skilled people are already employed and most people in general are working at their full capacity, so he would have to hire people from other companies for his charity. It would probably also affect Amazon in a negative way.
The only reason why giving his money away could be a good thing would be, if he can manage those new workers more effectively than they were managed at their own company, otherwise no real value was created.

>Even from birth, the parental ownership is not absolute but of a "trustee" or guardianship kind. In short, every baby as soon as it is born and is therefore no longer contained within his mother's body possesses the right of self-ownership by virtue of being a separate entity and a potential adult. It must therefore be illegal and a violation of the child's rights for a parent to aggress against his person by mutilating, torturing, murdering him, etc. On the other hand, the very concept of "rights" is a "negative" one, demarcating the areas of a person's action that no man may properly interfere with. No man can therefore have a "right" to compel someone to do a positive act, for in that case the compulsion violates the right of person or property of the individual being coerced.

>Thus, we may say that a man has a right to his property (i.e., a right not to have his property invaded), but we cannot say that anyone has a "right" to a "living wage," for that would mean that someone would be coerced into providing him with such a wage, and that would violate the property rights of the people being coerced. As a corollary this means that, in the free society, no man may be saddled with the legal obligation to do anything for another, since that would invade the former's rights; the only legal obligation one man has to another is to respect the other man's rights.

>Applying our theory to parents and children, this means that a parent does not have the right to aggress against his children, but also that the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights. The parent therefore may not murder or mutilate his child, and the law properly outlaws a parent from doing so. But the parent should have the legal right not to feed the child, i.e., to allow it to die.2 The law, therefore, may not properly compel the parent to feed a child or to keep it alive.3 (Again, whether or not a parent has a moral rather than a legally enforceable obligation to keep his child alive is a completely separate question.) This rule allows us to solve such vexing questions as: should a parent have the right to allow a deformed baby to die (e.g., by not feeding it)?4 The answer is of course yes, following a fortiori from the larger right to allow any baby, whether deformed or not, to die. (Though, as we shall see below, in a libertarian society the existence of a free baby market will bring such "neglect" down to a minimum.)

Capitalists need a state and states need capitalism. They are so symbiotic that it is a mistake to think of them as separate things.
