I'm feeling this right now. What I wouldn't give to be a humble record store, book store, comic book store, or junk electronic store owner in the 1970s.

>>12204959
walk into record shop, hear badass song, ask clerk who this is.
walk into video store buy horror dvd,talk to pretty clerk for 10 minutes about other horror movies similar to what i'd just bought.

like tears in the rain

Yeah retail stores now have to run with super-small margins. It's just not comfy.

It's just late stage capitalism. If you're under 40, I can almost guarantee that you will one day live in a socialist society. The people will own the means of production.

>>12204959

Yeah, Ikr. I always wanted a comfy book store. Rip.

>what is a unique brand

>>12206132
Whatever you say comrade. The problem is its gonna be Ocasio-cortez/Bernie pussified tier socialism. If what actually Marxist-Leninist non-faggot ass tier, then I could see it being a positive thing.

Radio Shack was just a middleman that sold goods with a high markup.

>>12204959
You could always create a new product or design clothing. But who am I kidding none of you are creative enough or skilled enough to do this

>>12206132
I am not integrating with niggers and spics to the extent that a socialist state would require.

So the only solution is national socialism.

>>12206132
>"the people"

By which you mean "the government" and whichever group is the current ruling class (probably the exact same (((people))) as now). And it'll be a heavily strings-attached UBI system, where receiving payments is contingent in your social score, including taking your assigned "Soma (tm)" dosage and regular checks that you've actually been on it.

I don't disagree we'll see that. But if you think it's gonna be your paradise of the proletariat commie, you're seriously delusional. Or we could try to restore more natural, human values that aren't connected to sheer economic factors, like family, personal pride, race & culture, art, exploration, creativity, etc so personal wealth is decoupled from capital.

Dumb people say this to sound smart

My basement for a while looked like a Radio Shack. When they closed the stores around me they had bag day on the final days. You filled a large bag with as much stuff as possible for $20. The kicker was they had to ring up each individual item. I had a receipt that was about 30 feet long. Took forever to ring up. And i went to multiple stores multiple times.

>The people will own the means of production.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Then there will be no means of production.

The politburo will own the means of production. The people are trisomy 21 victims and have never and will never own a thing.

Yep, this. I'd prefer a mix of Ancap style private city states rather than massive Nation-states though. Best of both worlds, Nationalist & Traditionalist values, but no giant parasitic government to corrupt them & individual sovereignty to choose which kind of society to live in. Also means the answer of what to do with mongrels & other races is answered - some can be ethnostates, others can just be civnat. Hell, the commies can even have their own city states, which we can laugh and point at when they fail. Think renaissance Italy on a global scale.

>>12206239
Meh, he's not wrong. The current order isn't sustainable. One way or another things have to change.

I bet you 50 golden drachma that malls will return just like vinyl have returned and just like vinyl lovers you'll pay way more than what it's worth.

If true Marxist-Leninist revolutionary sentiment takes over, your soft hands will be clasped behind your head and you will be liquidated faster than Arthur Hayes would

>just a middleman that sold goods with a high markup
you just defined every small store ever. Supermarket margins are pretty thin, but retail general has some heavy markups. Some heavy rent+wages+costs+shit as well

Capitalism will reform itself into a co-operative rather than corporative based economy. Millenials dont 'actually' like socialism, they like opportunities to monetize themselves on a gig basis, ie: Uber, Air BnB, Skip the dishes. We'll see more companiesl like that (cutting out the corporate) where almost anyone can contribute except itll be for nearly every resource & service.

>>12206429
>We'll see
This sentiment is precisely why millennials will ultimately fail and be devoured by their government overlords. My poor fucking kids have a bleak future.

>>12206429
>Millenials dont 'actually' like socialism, they like opportunities to monetize themselves on a gig basis
Then why do millennials hate those companies then?

>>12205341
A video store in the 80's would have been my dream business!!!FACT!!!

>>12205564
I had those exact same experiences anon and I miss them!!!FACT!!!

>>12206429
wow you just named off a few existing companies. you dont know shit. corporate america will not turn into a sharing economy, it will remain as it is you fucking dunce retard

>>12206132
Do you really want what the government did to healthcare, housing and education to spread to other sectors?

>>12206574
If they hate those companies, they wouldn't use them.
Millenials spend more on eating out in a month, than their parents did in a year, and their grand parents did in half a decade.
If they don't like uber and ubereats, they just wouldn't use them.

>>12208556
>Do you really want what the government did to healthcare,
Yeah remember when the government made insurance companies start de facto death panels? That was such fucking bullshit.
