The worker who is not yet awoken is incapable of imagining joy in a life post scarcity, panic grips them, like the panic of a crated wolf being released into the glory of the wild with no prior training or understanding of how to go to and fro and survive rather than put on a dancing show for the tourists at the zoo and then eating from a bowl
@KobraArcane Yea, now you're getting it, we need one world currency, Dave (China) and Sarah (America) having different currencies is a headache. We all share the earth, there are private things we don't have to share, and that's ok, those things are our own special things, but there are other things we all have to share, like the air, and the water. This is starship earth, and we are one race, communism makes sense, capitalism makes no sense unless you're for the exploitation of the crew on starship earth and the needs of the few exceeding the needs of the many, which is gross 🤢
@KobraArcane @luciumferum Because the reason religious terrorists are able to hold payment processors hostage is because of crapitalism, ultimately, because it has created a slave dystopia where the workers do not own their own labor, they rent it out, employers do not rent out their labor, they buy labor at a minimum and then sell the results of that labor at a maximum, generating profits, another word for profits is capital, this is capitalism, it is manipulation and it is theft, like taking candy from a baby, and that voicelessness of the worker leads to things like religious minority puritain terrorists taking over the government and banning porn despite being on the fucking Epstein files. /end
@KobraArcane Capitalism has many checks on it, I cannot just make my own currency for example, that would not be accepted by any government for any fines, fees, or taxes.
@KobraArcane @luciumferum He did not split economics and capitalism, wtf, he understands money is used for things and economics are facts, he wasn't retarded, he argued that profit defies logic because it means that someone got screwed. He was for equivalent exchange, that's all marxism was, he wasn't even talking about communism, people came up with that later. If I take advantage of you as a worker I don't care how legal it is, it is ethically wrong. Nonprofits are the only ethical business model.
@KobraArcane That's not very uhhh, smart? Lol, imagine a heart surgeon has a volume on heart surgery he has yet to read and he tells you that shit before you under.
@luciumferum @KobraArcane Actually I'm from the working class I'm not from the ruling class and I don't have money to afford uni I don't live in faggoteuroland where I get to suckle off the tit of socialism while shitting on it and harolding the thunderdome gunland deathscape that is the usa because muh capitalism and muh brexit meanwhile I hope yall really do get a taste of the american dream you think is so great so maybe you'll go back to writing good theories like Marx and Hegel did. No offense but you went there first uni jobless innit bruv.

@KobraArcane @luciumferum Without capitalism every artist would be paid fairly what buyers were willing to pay, with no mercantile middle man class to buy a good for as cheap as possible and then sell it elsewhere for as much as possible, the mercantile class must by necessity exploit both the worker and consumer. Merchants act like they're serving a valuable service at a fair price, but that's a trick, for them to make a profit, which is their goal, they must exploit, profit requires non-equivilance, 1 hour of labor is not being tradded for 1 hour of labor, one lb of potatoes is not being tradded for one pair of shoes, a scammer is traveling between poor communities, one that has all potatoes and one that has all shoes, and he scalps a pair of shoes for more potatoes than they're worth, because the people are desperate, and so are submitting to exploitation, rather than die from their feet falling off, and then he takes the potatoes to the community that's starving and scalps them above value for more shoes than they're worth, rinse and repeat, add generational transfer of wealth, and you have a new system of slavery called capitalism where the slaves submit themselves because they've been tricked into thinking they're not slaves.
@KobraArcane @luciumferum Capital means profit, profit by definition requires exploitation. Economics can be fair, capitalism is when it's not fair, the exchanges are not equal, someone is getting ripped off, that's what makes it capitalism.
@KobraArcane @luciumferum That's the definition of capitalism and why it's bad
Wow, game libertarian interactions are way, way, way down lowz, bro, wtf, why does everybody ignore me on glc but I get hella love on feral?? Same on most every other instance. Glc has so far been like my safe base camp, like peter griffins no gurls allowed pillow fort, but at the same time my interactions have massively dropped off as the years rolled by, idk if that's a me thing or an instance thing, but the very few times I'd join a new instance it felt like compared to glc interaction rate it was bustling (or bussin, for you newspeakers).
