Capitalism is the voluntary exchange of goods and services between two parties because both parties expect to benefit from that exchange

Isn't the point of socialism to just bitch about muh capitalism and make excuses for how much of a fucking loser you are?

Incorrect. Capitalism is the allocation of excess wealth (i.e.: capital) to generate additional wealth. corporatism, crony capitalism, and free markets are simply various mechanisms within that system. You can have Capitalism without a free market, just as you can have Capitalism without corporatism. You can also have a free market in a non-Capitalist society. Doofus.

Money = control. If we wanted, we could make a currency that is backed with real gold or something of value, but we don't because that would be a loss of control for certain entities.

Money as we know it would be an insane concept on paper. Think about using pokemon cards as a currency with someone having the ability and will to print more of them, lol.

Which is still better than Gulags for anyone not wearing exceptionally drab colors. Are you retards aware that only 39 years ago half the planet was communist? There's no mystery at all about how it works or what it he problems are - was there tons of people "fleeing Capitalism" to move to the USSR? Fuck no. They used to actually lock up any dumbass Burger commies that tried, because obviously nobody is that stupid, ergo they must be spies. I literally still remember communism myself. I personally have friends that were in East German prisons for some pissant "subversive activity" ie they didn't bribe the right official. Communism is not what it think it is ("lol, dude like free weed for everyone"), and I'm not exaggerating or larping at all when I say that every last one of you nu-commies needs to be executed for treason. You're actively supporting a system that enslaved and killed many millions of people well within the lifetime of most people still alive - so you're either so stupid that you're dangerous or you're actively malevolent. Kys, absolutely & unironically.

>> No.10914473

Yes, because anyone who exchanges their money for something they find to be of value was definitely tricked. They should have just eaten their money instead of using it to get bread.

This is such a damn argument, though

Just because you won't be on top doesn't mean you should just vote for your own self-interest and fuck the small amount of people it hurts.

You'll never be @ millionaire, sure. But you'll never be Chad either and you're not saying we should make hot people share their bodies, because that would be obviously insane.

Also, I make nearly $300k/yr so yeah I'll probably be a millionaire lol. Go fys.

But like...that's exactly what happens in capitalism though? A small amount of people get rich while the rest get fucked. It's really not that different from communism except in communism the small group of people is maybe even smaller. The rest are basically slaves either way. You're not interested in the big picture, only your self-interest. Just like communists are.

>But you'll never be Chad either and you're not saying we should make hot people share their bodies, because that would be obviously insane.

Yeah, it's obviously insane because it's a stupid comparison lol. No one's dying because they can't fuck the 10/10 Stacy whenever they want(except maybe "incels" when they kill themselves lol but those guys are usually insane anyway).

>Also, I make nearly $300k/yr so yeah I'll probably be a millionaire lol. Go fys.

What a shallow thing to say.
Of course everyone hope to have a better material situation in the future, hope is the sole reason people wake up every morning
People have a too "high level" analysis of the problems in society anyway, most of it just really stems from the vast differences in terms of intelligence between individuals, a society where the average IQ is around 120 would likely look to an utopia to us even if they had the exact economic system as us.
