Ahhhh yes! I love capitalism! Though I am only a small time upstart with a minor internet business, I nonetheless cherish every opportunity at exploitation I receive. Just recently I purchased an ebook cover on Fiverr. The provider was a college student and I could tell he was talented in design, yet naive in the ways of the world. I handed him a ridiculously hard to comprehend project description and demanded turnover within 24 hours. I even demanded 5 revisions, not that I was unsatisfied with the work, but because I wanted to make him suffer! hahahhahahaha! In the end, he must have worked 6 hours to earn that 5 bucks! And he was transgendered to boot!

I can't wait until my enterprises have finally reached sufficient size that I may exploit FULL TIME STAFF in such fashion!

Intellectuals are useless, they can't breed animals, They don't have the faintest idea on how to make sausages or forks or mobile phones. They are surrounded by all this stuff that they eat or use and they can't actually make a single thing, can't even begin to understand how they're made. If industrial production ceased tomorrow, if all the engineers and the specialist technicians disappeared off the face of the earth, they can't do anything to start things over again. In fact, outside the industrialized world, they can't even survive. They won't know how to feed or clothe themselves, or protect themselves from the weather. Their technical competence falls far short of Neanderthal man. They are completely dependent on society, but play no useful role in it. The only thing they know how to do is write dubious commentaries on outdated cultural issues.

The expansion of capitalism experienced an increasing fluctuation of raising and lowering standards for populations. The initial burst of capitalism benefited the people as it spread capital ownership to a larger percent of the population, but capital always pools in specific sections of the population and the standard of living plummets. Workers eventually demand reform, conflict ensues, and are eventually granted reforms in the form of child labor laws, social security, increased wages, etc. As these reforms occur, capitalists shift to areas with other/more resources and exploit them without these reformed policies, which damages the power of laborers in the original state but also benefits them as consumers. Capitalism having spread to these new lands and people, the overall population under Capitalism has extremely low standards of living, comparable (or even worse) than that experience in feudal societies. Having entered the 21st century, the entire world now functions under capitalism in one form or another, and the vast majority of people has seen few of the benefits capitalists claim for themselves.

Authoritarian Socialism is the only viable future we have. All societies face crisis. Capitalist society does not exist. It is unable to deal with crisis because capitalism atomizes society into individuals. it makes it unable for the masses to plan for the future. The only remedy for pollution capitalist believe is legitimate, is a private party suing a polluter only after the pollution has taken place. In capitalism individuals exist only for their own individual benefit. This completely ignores the fact that humanity is not composed of one individual, but of many. If we are to resolve the issues we have, we must act as an us. We have to unleash our collective human species-being from the reigns of private property. The collective human species-being is the being that creates dams, hospitals and in the future it will create mass drivers, it will bring mankind into harmony with the earth. Right now we are just a collection of beings that are unorganized and running around with no heads. We are engaged in a struggle against ourselves. The sole cause of this struggle is private property. We have divided the Earth and its products into parcels that we fight over. Instead of uniting forces and using this Earth to provide for all, we use it to get more parcels. This does not serve mankind, but serves individuals. Who in the end are just serving capital. Capital is a living parasite that demands more and more labor. Capital requires growth or it disappears, this growth is supplied by human labor. I hope you realize humanity cannot have a future, where man continues to fight against itself.

The only people who don't like capitalism are women and charismatic alpha males who are able to navigate social situations and get free shit thanks to their social skills and savviness.

For shy and introverted beta males the use of money for trading removes a lot of situations that could lead to social anxiety and discomfort. Ideologies such as anarchism and communism are directly related to the interests of alpha males and women as classes who can depend on their social skills to survive in a hostile world and are costrained by the rules and societal norms that empower beta males (the ones created by Neolithic Revolution, the original beta uprising).

Beta revolution is the only revolution that matters, and beta revolution will be capitalist.

Regardless of the flavor, socialism and communism both carry the echo of the ghost of Marx's psychology, and both are designed to allow ruling classes of political elites (particularly bougies who absolve themselves from bougie status) to seize power and decide what they decide is "best" and "fair".

Unless you are the only worker in that business, then it's obvious that other workers contribute having the same working hours as you and pyramid structure of bosses and eventual CEOS who manage the company.

Just saying that you willingly "trade" your labour for money does not mean that you are not exploited by the one who gains the extra part of your labour by managing your job, and it does not mean that your amount of labour is equal to the monetary value of such a produced product, since exchange value is abstract and has nothing to do with real labour.

If you plow 100% of the profits of your privately owned business back in, you are practicing pure unadulterated capitalism.
And you will swiftly go under. Because you are in competition with others who will simply borrow ten times as much from the bank, and buy the modern equipment you would very much like to have, but can't afford.
And, thanks to fractional reserve banking, they are not even using someone elses capital. That remains safely in the bank, and the money they "borrowed" is simply writen into existance (further devalueing YOUR profits).

Capitalism is not a philosophy of what you dream and what you essentaily want to be.

Capitalism at it's very elementary definition is mode of exchange and a description on who owns the means of productions.

There are a dozen different hybrid versions of capitalism from Keynesianism to the Nordic Socialist model.

Also Capitalism was created because of banking and the mercantilist theory which gave way to it. There is no such thing as garnering 100% of profits in a monetary system. The only way to get 100% of value form a product is through essentially bartering, but in a free exchange economy you need a Fixed exchange-rate so that values don't become arbitrary and this existed just as much 200 years ago as it is today.

Way to go for completely failing to understand my point.
Here, let me spell it out for you.
YOU do not know how the system works, because YOU haven't observed the system in operation and figured it out. Instead, what you have done is observe the system, and then tried to match it against the various models you were told about in school (none of which is accurate...hence the mess the economy is in).
One of these approaches is called thinking.
The other is called parroting.
And it really doesn't matter whether you understand the terms used or not when you are parroting. Because you never learned how to figure it out for yourself, you lack certain critical skills which will forever prevent you from expanding your intellectual boundaries beyond well-defined borders.

>Stalin's father owned a factory
Wrong; his father briefly owned a workshop that he worked at as a cobbler and his mother was a (former-)serf. The business went under early in Stalin's life and he (his father) eventually worked purely as a laborer for the rest of his days and cut off money to Stalin and his mother when she insisted he stick with education instead of becoming a cobbler. Stalin in his early years was a student at seminary, having earned a scholarship to study, but after he dropped out of the seminary he took up work as a clerk at which time he also became a full time revolutionary. He worked at an oil refinery where he organized workers and he would later work as editor of Pravda. The man was not bourgeois nor petty-bourgeois, but for perhaps a brief moment.

>China is communist
learn to mode of production.
everything that determines a capitalist society is in China. Capital accumulation, capitalist market competition, bourgeois control of the means of production, legal guerintee of private property, state apparatus that exists to reinforce the bourgeois order, exploitation, the contradiction between capital and labour, and much more still are prevalent in China.

All what you listed is largely irrelevent, as none of those tenents, coming from an actual communist, determine leftist communism as an ideology. Also, state-operated enterprises and organizations do not constitute socialism, as as long as capitalist relations (which define what capitalism is, btw) exist, then so does capitalism. also, state-ownership =/= social ownership. The state, according to the marxist perspective outlined by Lenin in State and Revolution, is ultimately an organ of class domination. The state that is China does not serve the interests of labor, but capital, so it is irrelevent how much of China is nationalized.

I understand the necessity of cutting out the middle man in an operation, but cutting off the head? Leadership is more than just sitting behind a desk and watching the little ants work. It's about figuring out how to distribute manpower. It's about making sure workers are doing their job so you don't waste your time and theirs'. It's about not making a worker do something the leader would not do himself.

Of course there are people that spit on that idea and think leadership means "I say it and you do it." But those people are also never considered good businessmen and their position of leadership inevitably falls because the proletariat gets pissed at the little man on his high horse and finds some way or another to remove him from it.

>2.That makes marxism mandotory subject in school,just like Poland did under communism along SU
The ideology of China is "socialism with Chinese Charactersitics" which only pays lips service to marxism as a means of legitimization. the ideology in truth, has abandoned core marxist ideas such as class struggle (replaced with the "harmonious society"), egalitarianism, and workers control of the means of production

>4.Ideological debate within the party

irrelevent. Democratic centralism is central to marxism. It's just a form of organization, and others who are not communists have used it as well

Every political party has congesses, bro

(oh, and coming round your ancestors hut threatening to stab his kids with a big rusty sword unless he bows down and hands over all his money).
I'd rather have the proletariat. At least he'll only hospitalize you if you call him a cunt to his face, rather than because he wants to steal all your stuff.

Any evidence for this? You wanna know how they got to be the "upper class"?

Any historical or archaeological evidence for this?

given that the workers then used the system, yes.
But you mean he did it for the PR value, don't you?
Well so what? You telling me the "freedom tower" isn't partly a PR stunt? Architectural showing off?

er...history books?

I'm not being funny here, but you really need to pull your head out of your ass on this one. Even their own accounts tell it this way.
The upper class in Europe are actually PROUD they "subdued" the little people, and terrorized their way to the top.

Or do you imagine we all saw their strong manly jaws, and decided to give them all the posh stuff, because we're quasi-gay beta's?

What? I mean, the famine happened, and it was terrible, but the Soviets weren't trying to kill all the Ukranians. Hell, in the years prior, up until the Great Turn, the Soviet Union actually promoted Ukranian nationalism because of Leninist self-determination.

I know it's wikipedia, but I can't be bothered pulling up anything else at 5 am (especially for someone who's demanding I do all his research before he'll stop being a delusional twat).
This is Richard the 1st. He was an absolute cunt, and came from a line of absolute cunts (psychopathy is an inheritable trait, y'know).
His family intermarried with other violent cunts, who were constantly fighting to see who could be the greediest cunt, and killing anyone who got in their way (it's called feudalism...look it up). They ran a selective breeding program for centuries, which evolve into the "upper class".
If you can't get your head round the idea that royal perogative HAS to come from threats of violence and intimidation mixed with blame-shifting bullshit, then you perhaps need to get the fuck off /lit/ and visit /mlp/ until your head clears.
