@jeff82874662 This critiques corpo capitalism optimization for profit at the cost of innovation, thus making all product the lowest common denominator that has the biggest profit margin. So it's a critique not on market capitalism, but on corporate capitalism where you compete on profitability
@growing_daniel No - that term is a medical term for people that did not choose to be retarded. So when you are calling for example putin a retard, you are insulting actual retards. That's why you should use something else :D
@ausyriann Not the earthquake. But the buildings could have been constructed stronger for example, that would prevent the death toll, not stopped the earthquake. But it cost more. But you could pass a law that all new buildings need to be able to withstand it.
@pwnkye@AlanRMacLeod Yours as-well. We are the same kind. And the reason is very simple - because we went trough the same phase are other countries are in. So we are not saying that our system is the best, but we know that it's better than what everyone else has. Just read European history.
@InspiringEntrep @AlanRMacLeod All dictatorships. All of them.
Check the list, the vast majority of them are recourse rich, which is why it's called a "recourse curse". How do you negate someone that always has to win in negotiations and look like a strongman? https://t.co/d7rqywSpS8
@danbert8@warwickgowphoto@AGHamilton29@voxdotcom I don't think I only use data. I remember what happened that last time we had the highest inequality and I didn't like that. And the redistribution point -> because all of us people are stupid, and that is why we create systems to work against our stupidity.
@KevinNurdHurd@zei_squirrel It's actually other things that came with democracy that did that and also workers asking for more rights. Don't forget that Capitalism is both the system that keeps and takes people out of poverty because it's the system we used the most since we created the written word.
@NoMamesJohn @Pinna1011 @davidvance It's actually really cool if you learn russian and their neighbours history. What is uncool, that US and its allies armed russia during ww2, instead of the local native populations that wanted democracy.
@InspiringEntrep @AlanRMacLeod So what's your solution if most of the world resources necessary for today's everyday necessities are owned by those dictatorships?
@laurenboebert No. Feudalism is a form of capitalism. Slavery is also capitalism as slaves are considered capital.
From the moment we created currency, we created capitalism. What you are talking about is democracy.
