@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ if Fascists, even in disguise or denial, often latch onto a single error to discredit their opponent. are you, poval, using a fascist strategy?
@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ refuses (quite intentionally) to take into account the existence of cartels and intentional disruption of supply by producers for the purpose of profit. economics therefore is best viewed from the perspective of an average consumer and their individual ability to meet needs
@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ considering this, it can be said that demand (and the force of consumption) drives an economy as if production truly powered it then supply would naturally equal out to demand in order to provide the best product and make the most profit
however, austrian style economics (cont.)
@poval__ my favourite book is starship troopers yet i don’t believe in meritocracy (not that the book promotes it)
you can easily find it, it’s one of his most attributed quotes. something something saved european civilisation
@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ he instituted the 5 day work week as a way to extract consumerism from his labourers and as a way to create higher quality work
see above, capital requires consumption
mass production existed before ford
he didn’t do much actually so i’ll give nikola tesla a kiss instead
@poval__ sorry i don’t consider the opinion of a guy who actively supported italian fascism and then rapidly walked it back when he could get in trouble for it to be a valid point of view
@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ i wasnt aware ford enriched peoples lives by assaulting his workers, threatening their families, and smashing their private property. what a guy that harry bennett, real upstanding member of the community
its weird the things you forget
@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ in your world, she participated in the system “exploiting the producing class”
what a nonsensical title, the ruling class under capitalism produces nothing
@poval__@transfortrains@nellscape_ given she took welfare under multiple names she took from other taxpayers rather than just her own social contributions
@poval__@nellscape_ so we should enable the worker to reap the fruits of his labour rather than the upper or middle class? you think we should abolish the bourgeois? kinda based
