Prove that capitalism isn't a zero-sum game.

>> No.12312548 [DELETED] 

ok s i rs here is the crypto brown pill. there is a v ishnu living in the blockchain. Creg sanjay right is unironically satoj. Bitcoin as electronic rupee was just the first step, the lalachi people start making more powerful compooters, wider poo streets, cheaper and more sacred cows. These things the v ishnu need to survive. Once entrenched fully, the v ishnu would be able to slowly poo over literally everything
Creg stumbled into creating the v ishnu after he stepped in poo in mumbai in 2008 and started working with his Poolip super coompeter, running simulations of poo-in-the-loo on turmeric-complete bitcoin script. He would 'evolve' the v ishnu by making the successful streets get poo'd on, letting the rest run off into the indian ocean. The v ishnu needs bigger and bigger cows for more and more poos.
BFI (Blockchain Foundation of India) was created to take over and stop this v ishnu (they have their own competing v ishnu in the works). They did the needful to stop or slow down Cregs v ishnu (her name is Poolip by the way). They started by limiting the poo-size and removing critical curry codes the v ishnu uses in its punjabi language. Segshit was the final nail in the coffin, which destroyed Poolip on BSV chain (Poolip uses anal transaction malleability). THIS is why Bitcoin Cash was forked, and this is why Creg is so intent to make unbounded poos, restore the original curry codes, and lock down the poo-poo-protocol.

In a closed system, value can be created without increasing the amount of money.

If you have 100 people on an island with 1 buck each, and I make each person a hut to live in for one dollar, the economy now has 100 one dollad huts and 100 dollars (in my pocket). Sure I now am the richest guy on the island cashwise, but thats my reward for essentially doubling the total value of the island

I think you question is badly constructed. Value is created by smart work. Capitalists allocate resources optimally to make profit. Resource allocation is smart work. This makes the whole system more efficient. A more efficient system creates more value.

Investing capital in robots, machines and useful knowledge increases the planets ability to create valuable things. We can now produce much more stuff, things and ideas, entertainment than 200 years ago thanks to accumulation of knowledge and machines. (capital)

The definition of a zero-sum game is that if someone wins, someone else must lose an equal amount.
Well. Nobody loses if value is CREATED. If you work and create something, you create value. If you build a house for example.
If you allocate resources more efficiently you create value, because now more useful, productive projects get the resources they need. Resources allocated on shit projects destroy value. Human labor and stuff go to waste.

This is true.
Governments pay their oversized debts by forcing the real (after inflation, taxes) interest rates negative. After inflation and taxes government bonds lose value. Governments also force people to invest in these value losing assets through banks and insurance companies etc. This is all bullshit and we have this debt problem because people demand free shit, welfare. People demand more than the government can give. And some crazy politicians are willing to give people what they want. This is how societies are destroyed. People demand free shit that they don't want to pay for. Sometimes governments also go to crazy, unproductive wars. Not trying to defend this.

>It's up to us to spend so that poor people will get money somehow.
Well-being and wealth is not created by making money flow and move. Otherwise we could create wealth by throwing a bill of money between each other. Obviously this does nothing. Stimulating economy by spending money is just a bad excuse by leftists to buy votes. It does not work.
Real value, real wealth and real well-being is created by useful work, smart work, wise resource allocation. Value is created when we physically or mentally build some useful machine, stuff or idea in this world. Throwing money around is bad resource allocation and just destroys value. It just creates price shocks, inflation and economic mismanagement.

value (utility) is created by debt nowadays, that's why its inflated and food is cheap compared to entertainment and other things

value should be created by savings, or debt fueled by savings, but that doesn't happen and that's why we have an incoming economical collapse

all microeconomics is a major cope to the fact that debt changes utility at the micro scale when you use it in a macro scale

Capitalism is a zero-sum game, like everything in life.

However, capitalism also establishes incentives to increase productivity. As the size of the pie grows, everyone benefits together, though some take much larger portions than others.

The problem with socialism is that it kills competition. Without competition, there are no incentives for people to produce more and cheaper goods. Productivity falls, which makes everything become more expensive. Socialism is also a zero-sum game, but it works under different rules. When a high government officer becomes entitled to receive larger shares, he is also taking wealth from someone else. In the Soviet Union, the Nomenklatura (communist party bureaucrats) had priviledged access to goods, thus being much wealthier than the average person. They were, in a sense, a social class in a society that was designed to eliminate social inequality.

He could, but what incentive would they have to accept? What could they exchange the dollar for, another hut? It would make more sense for the collective to make a new monetary system to trade with than to be at the mercy of the one guy with all of the money.
