The fact that a majority might support or condone an act of theft does not diminish the criminal essence of the act or its grave injustice

@billgoldwater Said the minarchist with the Ukrainian flag in his bio that is enslaving people to fight a war. Settle down dude.

@kenocryptomancy Socialism is a political/legal theory. It's not just "I prefer to live in a comunne, but ok with capitalusm existing" it regards capitalism and the institution of private property as ilegitimate.

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy *collectively owned

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy If the state is an entity with the monopoly on the use of force in s region then it makes no difference if it's leaders are democratically elected, it's still a state.
If a majority decides to take your house since the means of production are privately owned that's a state

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy *rellied

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy Socialism and democracy can only be top down. The firms where owned democratically, but obviously they replied on the state for funding because of course they did that's the only way it was ever going to work.

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy Any person that defends collective ownership is a statist.

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy That's why state capitalism doesn't make sense.
The means of production cannot be owned democratically without it being through the state, look at Yugoslavia.

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy If the means of production are controlled democratically that's still state ownership

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy Where did you get your definition? What its origin?
State capitalism is an oxymoron.
State bureaucracts directing production is socialism.
But your definition of socialism is just one type of socialism. Your definition still implies state ownership

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@kenocryptomancy That's Marxism, that's a form of socialism.
Socialism is state ownership of means of production, the abolishment or limitation of private property. Marxists aren't the only socialists

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@Evanshm If a company produces thins no one needs or wants then it will close its doors.

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@Samukliver @RTSG_Main That equation is basically supply demand. So by your own admition labor value doesn't determine prices

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.

The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@Samukliver @RTSG_Main And if someone sells it at $9 then no one buys the chairs at $10. What's your point? If vallis not subjective and is rather objective then tell the formula in which prices emerge

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@Samukliver @RTSG_Main Just because economic goods can only come from labor. Does not mean labor time determines prices

[Gabriel Araujo @GabrielSerial98]

@RighttooEarly @RTSG_Main So supply and demand. Thank you.
