The most dominant of man will always gain control over others. "Anarchy" and capitalism are *allowed* by the state. Any illusion of freedom is bestowed upon you by those the in power, the strong and smart. If the state didn't like capitalism, they could dispose of it tommorow.

Ultimately there exists an assumption behind Capitalism that not only are we organized like the larger forces of nature (we aren't), but the larger forces of nature reward predation (they don't).

It assumes you can make a rhizome go into a straight line, and not adapt to the conditions preferable that create a poor class, a predation class and an exploited class. THe problem being is that the exploited class is hardly as strong as it is in nature because of misunderstanding, and the fact we cannot ourselves apply nature into a social framework.

What I'm speaking of is the biodeversity of life. There happens to be everything from plankton to crustacean to herbivore and carnivore. But each consumes itself and relies on the remains of others and rotting. There's no way to create an analogue for this, as there is always a "strong predator" class that never dies who's resources filter down to other organisms.

Capitalism itself is just the predator-class saying "I win, I'm the best, I live forever" without adapting to that fact, it's all a huge amount of logical gaps and assumptions.

The theory of natural selection is strategically misapplied by capitalist ideologues who wish to proclaim that the ideal expression of a genetic blueprint within us, an inherent nature, is one who is strong, fast and predatory, ie, what is necessary to be productive and exploitative in a capitalist system and which inevitably, naturally, logically, produces economy.

Again, this misreading of natural selection also takes away from it the real strength of the theory, in which it’s used to account for the diversity that life exhibits, a diversity that wouldn’t exist if it in practice worked within the limitations of an idealist interpretation of ToNS. The capitalist misreading of natural selection, that an ideal image of the strong fast predator is that which nature strives to become, simply does not correspond to and fails to explain a reality in which the endlessly diverse expressions of genes result from an interpretation of ToNS that sees it as an optimization process that selects those genetic traits that are best suited for a given environment.

This all means that because of the huge amount of assumptions its built on based on misreading about biology, that it is avoiding confronting the fact it is inherently anathema to human social existence and health. It's all a nice show, it certainly is filled with a nice amount of philosophy and leading numerology, but it's myth.

First of all anarcho-capitalism isn't anarchism, as it doesn't get rid of the hierarchies that are within capitalism. Let alone the fact anarchism through out history fighting against capitalism. Working class people are worse off under anarcho-capitalism due to not having workers rights, socialised healthcare, etc. Without government stopping corporations they would gain massive monopolies in which small companies would not be able to compete. The NAP wouldn't work due to the fact not everyone would follow it, especially when living under the massive inequalities anarcho-capitalism would create. The NAP also fails to understand structural violence, for example I don't think its wrong for a person who is starving to death to steal food from someone who has more food then they could possibly need, if they were denied the food the person denying them would of inadvertently killed the starving person. Yet them stealing the food would break the NAP.
Let alone under anarcho-capitalism there is no regulate anything or stop ecological problems, which could cause a lot of problems.

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak?

But at one point it was generally accepted that they were.

Reminder that clashing rich and poor is the most fuckard but still omnipresent sociological fallacy.
The class divide is between people that are net tax payers (including monetary policy, tarrifs, ...) and net tax receivers. Some, many rich people are rich only because of state regulations (they are the ones actually pushing it). Many poor people are poor precisely because of these regulations.

May be the accumulation of capital thing I used wasn't a very good argument, as you point. But money needs to flow, not to accumulate and get static.

Well, you couldn't possibly untangle who is which. Anyone in technology is benefiting from government enforcing patent law; anyone in real estate is benefiting from housing restrictions; let's not even talk about the finance industry. It is entirely impossible to say who would be more successful, less successful, or totally bust without those regulations.

Do you want me to make this a Quotations from the Glorious Chairman thread?

Because I can educate you if you are so willing.

Let's start from

COMBAT BOURGEOIS IDEAS IN THE PARTY

"Centralization and decentralization are in constant contradiction with each other. Decentralism has grown since we moved into the cities. To resolve this contradiction all the principal and important issues must first be discussed and decided on by the Party committee before its decisions are referred to the government for implementation. For instance, such important decisions as the erection of the Monument to the Heroes of the People in Tien An Men Square and the demolition of Peking's city walls were made by the Central Committee and carried out by the government. Matters of secondary importance can be left to the leading Party groups in government departments. It just won't do for the Central Committee to monopolize everything. Combating decentralism will win maximum popular approval because most comrades in the Party care about collective leadership. Party members fall into three categories in their attitude towards collective leadership. Those in the first category care about collective leadership. Those in the second do not care so much, maintaining that the Party committees had better leave them alone, but they don't mind being supervised. "Better leave me alone" reveals a lack of Party spirit, while "don't mind being supervised" shows some measure of Party spirit. We must seize on this "don't mind being supervised" and help such comrades by education and persuasion to overcome their lack of Party spirit. Otherwise, each ministry would go its own way and the Central Committee could not supervise the ministries, the ministers could not supervise the department and bureau heads, and the division heads could not supervise the section chiefs -- no one, in short, could supervise anyone. In consequence, independent kingdoms would proliferate and hundreds of feudal princes would emerge. Those in the third category are only a handful. They flatly reject collective leadership and always prefer to be left alone. The decision on strengthening Party spirit puts the stress on the strict observance of discipline under democratic centralism, in other words, the minority is subordinate to the majority, the individual to the organization, the lower level to the higher level and the entire Party to the Central Committee (a case of subordinating the majority to the minority, as this minority represents the majority). Opinions are welcome, but to undermine Party unity would be a most shameful thing. It is reliance on the political experience and wisdom of the collective that can guarantee the correct leadership of the Party and the state and the unshakable unity of the ranks of the Party. "

This is sometimes true. But it first doesn't mean it's not the cause of social clashes, and second there ar many many instances where the result is obvious.

Take Lockheed Martin. Say that for some reason Rand Paul gets preseident and deminishes military spending. Guess which lobbyst he will have to confront?
Take some crack addicted parasite that gets mo money for dem programs. When (if) he votes, is there any doubt he will pick the one most likely to give mo money for dem programs?

As I said, it has nothing to do with rich vs poor. The most wealthy counties in the US are in Virginia (military contractors). And I don't even want to think of people like Bill Gates that are several time billionnaires because they have some monopoly grant on a (trash) piece of fucking code. I'm less shocked by the king of England granting monopoly on the colony to William Penn.

A DIALECTICAL APPROACH TO INNER-PARTY UNITY

[Excerpts from a speech at the Moscow Meeting of Representatives of the Communist and Workers' Parties.]

" With regard to the question of unity I'd like to say something about the approach. I think our attitude should be one of unity towards every comrade, no matter who, provided he is not a hostile element or a saboteur. We should adopt a dialectical, not a metaphysical, approach towards him. What is meant by a dialectical approach? It means being analytical about everything, acknowledging that human beings all make mistakes and not negating a person completely just because he has made mistakes. Lenin once said that there is not a single person in the world who does not make mistakes. Everyone needs support. An able fellow needs the help of three other people, a fence needs the support of three stakes. With all its beauty the lotus needs the green of its leaves to set it off. These are Chinese proverbs. Still another Chinese proverb says three cobblers with their wits combined equal Chukeh Liang the master mind. Chukeh Liang by himself can never be perfect, he has his limitations. Look at this declaration of our twelve countries. We have gone through a first, second, third and fourth draft and have not yet finished polishing it. I think it would be presumptuous for anyone to claim God-like omniscience and omnipotence. So what attitude should we adopt towards a comrade who has made mistakes? We should adopt a dialectical, rather than a metaphysical, approach. Our Party once got bogged down in metaphysics, in dogmatism, which totally destroyed anyone not to its liking. Later, we repudiated dogmatism and came to learn a little more dialectics. The unity of opposites is the fundamental concept of dialectics. In accordance with this concept, what should we do with a comrade who has made mistakes? We should first wage a struggle to rid him of his wrong ideas

However, dealing with persons of another type is different. Towards persons like Trotsky and like Chen Tu-hsiu, Chang Kuo-tao and Kao Kang in China, it was impossible to adopt a helpful attitude, for they were incorrigible. And there were individuals like Hitler, Chiang Kai-shek and the tsar, who were likewise incorrigible and had to be overthrown because we and they were absolutely exclusive of each other. In this sense, there is only one aspect to their nature, not two. In the final analysis, this is also true of the imperialist and capitalist systems, which are bound to be replaced in the end by the socialist system. The same applies to ideology, idealism will be replaced by materialism and theism by atheism. Here we are speaking of the strategic objective. But the case is different with tactical stages, where compromises may be made. Didn't we compromise with the Americans on the 38th Parallel in Korea? Wasn't there a compromise with the French in Viet Nam?"

Does NE one else ever wonder if AN-CAPs are really fucking hatefully lazy? "It is cheapest in ANCAP!" And we need money and money is an essential component of health? (Obviously if there was ever an occasion for making more effort being more efficient, then a global pandemic in the massive favelas of your Rothbardian dreams is it. Of course Muh roads is valid: if we assume today that by having roads a person or group can more than double their productivity, and they choose roads between the company store, the strip mine, and the strip club, which they all own.
"Are you saying that is a problem with ANCAP?"- do you know what a cunt is? It's a source of both point and non-point source pollution, but unlike money they are currently without question indispensable. I know some people like stinky poon, and it's kinda hard to distinguish poony-ness from stinkyness, but in that case suicide needs to be legal so if I have a daughter born with an unstinking poon nobody will be allowed to give her an operation to stinkify it and then take her as a slave whore to pay for the necessary cost of protecting the world from her potentially contagious no smell pussy. I.E. how well did the response to the black plague go?

Technology is replacing jobs that used to be important and the jobs that are replacing them are fewer in number, less meaningful (mostly mindless service industry jobs), and lack the extensive benefits jobs like manufacturing had.

It was easier for our (or "their") parents to find work than it is for us. There was a point where getting a college degree practically guaranteed employment. That is no longer the case. Hell, even degrees like engineering and computer science are getting significantly more competitive because of how much the media has drilled into peoples heads they should go into those fields - not to mention the danger of a society dominated by people completely unfamiliar with the humanities.

And clearly everything you've said thus far only applies to people living in first world countries that have opportunity. The vast majority of the world lives in underdeveloped shitholes where the opportunity that exists here doesn't even exist. These are the real victims of capitalism. The people burning demanding 15$/hr are fucking ridiculous but not for the reason you think; because the people that make the items they sell make pennies.

Life doesn't owe you anything, sure. But nothing entitles you to anything either. The entire idea of human rights are social constructs, but suffering is not a social construct.

Career path. Are you implying somehow people won't be farmers because it's a "lower job" and everyone will just become astrophycists, because I'm fairly sure agriculture will be more in demand under communal societies than academics. Agriculture and labor comes first and fore most and will be benefited as such.

Will the mods please ban this retard?

He is not only insulting the very idea of a higher intelligence, he is preventing actual intellectual discussion in two ways
1) By claiming communism is somehow antithetical to economics, or somehow that communism is the solution
2) By attracting a flock of retards who follow this retard around like flies on shit, and so the horde of retards attacks any sort of actual genuine intellectual conversation with the rapacity of a rage-addled downie

>Oh economics has problems, sure. It's failed to make significant predictions on a meaningful scale.

If, as a "science" it cannot make predictions on a meaningful scale, why should anybody turn to economics for any sort of policy-making decisions? At all?

If as a "science" it cannot make meaningful predictions, then quite honestly, why should people regard it as a "science". A science that cannot use its models to make future predictions is not a science at all.

If as a "science" economics has failed, then why should posts like:
>>6513686
Even exist?

I don't know, maybe you have nothing to do with these ideas, but economics is a field of "study" must often used to justify inequality. It seems of little practical use for anything other than apologism for the rich.
