RE: The Basics of Anti-Capitalism - Exploitation and Imperialism - Part One

in #economics8 years ago (edited)

When chile elected a socialist they didn't becone socialist. The capitalist class stopled the movement of all goods, including food, until he was voted out. The food was in the stores the next day, and they were no less capitalist.

The capitalist class could not exist without the government and its property rights, they are inseparable.

Before you say my statements are in contradiction, they are not. The capitalist class become a government above the other one elected by the people.

Sort:  

I fundamentally disagree, and I will leave it at that.

great argument, full of historical examples and logic backing up your system of thought. good job

(Gets the popcorn) may the onslaught begin.

nah m8 that failure will mute me and run away to its safe space, I guarantee it.

I'm going to bed either way, I have stuff to do tomorrow

My guess is that even if I'd taken the time to leave a well thought out logical argument, full of citations and historical illustrations, you would still be resistant to it. I'm weary of arguing with socialists because it's impossible to debate anything when you can't agree on definitions of terms (for instance I promise you we will never see eye-to-eye on the definition of property), and because I find it tiresome to defend principles like respect for individuals against people whose very ideology rejects such principles.

IRONIC

"for instance I promise you we will never see eye-to-eye on the definition of property"

its something you control. If you don't understand that you are crazy.

"I find it tiresome to defend principles like respect for individuals against people whose very ideology rejects such principles."

its not an ideology its a set of material conditions conditions. If you can not defend your opinion you don't deserve one.
