Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.
Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.
Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.
It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.
Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.
That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.
Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.
The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.
Es ist genau umgekehrt: Das Diktat der Minderheit. Randgruppen formieren sich zu Interessengemeinschaften und organisieren sich politisch. Die Mehrheit schaut zu und lässt gewähren.
Jenen, die arbeiten, fehlt die Zeit und Energie, denn sie müssen zunehmend die Inanspruchnehmenden (“the entitled”) tragen.
Das ist nicht nur in der Politik so, sondern grundsätzlich der Fall.
@nic_amadio If it is too hot, the A/C may overload the whole system. Had an incident a while back during a hot day, when big parts of the rail system collapsed. Could be the reason, not sure. Usually, some cooling is available.
@JoshWest247 The designs are so horrible, because weaklings (millennials) are drawing them. Remember their tight pants, tight knitted shirts and beards? This is them being adults, yet no wiser.
@CPOfficialtx He will shrink the FED´s balance sheet by at least 50% and drain liquidity from markets like never before. Lower rates won't matter. BTC will tank like all speculative assets and bubbles will burst all around. Massive reset incoming, not a black swan, position accordingly.
