Yep.

The "true" state of the universe is 'ancap' by virtue of the fact that randomness guarantees "inequality," and organized energy/life always min/maxes survival prospects against randomness according to inborn incentives in response to externally imposed logic systems. any local point of reference that is better described with terms like socialism, tribalism etc a. is still motivated out of the "true" anarchic primordial state b. exists to astute observers only as a brief microcosmic deviation from the "true state" c. is still governed by "true state" dynamics even though myopia convinces most people otherwise.

one could indeed argue that individuals are bound by the law of randomness or rather the consequences of randomness, but that would discount the growing complexity of human coordination
your argument, I believe, is that in aggregate this randomness creates outcomes that resembles an ancap system
in theory, yes, all it takes is one bad actor to act as catalyst for the collapse of any self-imposed structure and a reversion to the natural equilibrium (ancap), however that clearly isn't the case
now you claim that the nominal state of our system, or rather its classification, is immaterial as we are still motivated by the anarchic drive to survive and reproduce; all other wants and needs are derivatives of these all-important needs, right? Why then do we create systems that go against our nature? Why do these systems not immediately collapse under this primordial pressure and the weight of randomness compounded?
I believe you are indeed the one who is framing your thoughts in quadrasyllabic buzzwords or rather in terms of purely abstract (and quite mechanical) reasoning which has no basis in the reality of the human condition

Yes there is you cuck. You are just ignorant about it. Everything is exchanged for it's price on the market. However, workforce, which is sold by the workers to the owners of the means of production, is the only value that can creates more value. Your car will never create value.

From my experience and research as an economist, a mix of Capitalism and Social policies are the best at maintaining a functional society. ( quick example: If you are dying and there is a drug/service that can help you, it doesn't matter how much money you have you are willing to pay what ever amount to stay alive. Some products or services have inelastic prices that don't react well to changes in supply)
The fundamental problem that economic systems try to solve is how do we best allocate resources for our society ? Do we look at what can give us the best standard of life even if you do immoral things or do we take note and use our judgement and morality to regulate the markets. That is a fundamental question that doesn't have a lot of options. It's clear to me.

Would i like to day dream about a utopia when every thing is fair and everyone has equal opportunity and we make sure the unfortunate members of our society are well cared for and helped, I do! yet I know reality is no fair and It doesn't work like that.

You know, I could also write a book about any new ideology or existing, and there would be some people who would follow a doctrine written in it. It wouldn't make anything in it real unless proven with any coherent, sane and ground arguments.
Marx didn't prove anything but just shown how the change of eras (pre to post industrialism) influenced his work. Its a load of out of date crap that cannot be put together with any of today's standards.
Your cognitive compliance with Marxism only shows your own lack of synaptic connection.

Here's why:

1. There's 7 billion humans on this planet that cannot operate under marxism because
2. everyone is an individual at their core and not a social group because
3. social groups are only made to differentiate a median in a 7-billion human society

You might want to say
"but we all don't live in one country"
and you'd be right.
You might want to say
"I'm too fucking retarded to understand how any of that makes any sense"
and you'd be in your retarded right to say so.

Here's the thing:
If Marxism was the way to go, it would have worked in the last century.
It was the good time to do it.
Capitalism was for it too.
But then it started to murder people, because people are not "social groups" but individuals that make a part of a society.
Some are women
Some are men
Some are children
Some are old
Some are mothers
Some are workers
Some are state workers
Some are intelligent
Some are not
Some are farmers
Some are miners
See when I'm going with this?

In today's society if you'd want to make "social groups" for anything, you'd go insane with paper's work. If you'd want to dissolve social groups, because "reactionsism!" or "unfair!" you'd have to kill more than 3/4th of entire Earth population, because there's a breaking point that you'll reach. Not everyone is a coward who cannot stand for what's right for humanity-and it is not dehumanizing them and putting into statistics.

Also, closing, because I'm going to go buy some Marx paintings I saw on sale (irony, I know):
there are certain things you don't have to explain for someone to understand them
Example is: breathing - if you can't do it, you're dead. If you're injured that's fine, but we don't go around explaining to infants how to breathe.
Some things are self-explanatory, like the word self-explanatory.
So, if you cannot understand without an explanation, then with one you won't understand such things. Easy? Should be.

Now, following this line of thought, why on Earth in your mind you'd think (I'd guess) can't the non-marxist people "understand" something so trivial and easy as the society without classes, or a society that doesn't need to struggle?
Well, here's a counter statement to that, because I cannot also understand how in your mind are you going to make a society made out of a large population - because that's what is going on here - listen to your words and conform to them without fighting or killing. Because I worked my back for my stuff. Why am I supposed to give it to some unknowns that are going to walk all over my life without any respect towards me or other people? What will it accomplish for humanity? Will it take us out of this planet and into space era? Or, since everything is equal, there's no struggle, and all that wishy-washy; forever grounded, without purpose, and left in endless poverty, sadness and grotesque.
Also, how are you going to do accomplish something, that Marx couldn't? That not one human since could, and also, not one made sure to not kill anyone along the way?
Because so far it was the stem of marxism that killed the most people, not capitalism.

But, you must know something that we don't, but because its a mystery, you cannot reveal it.
I bet it will come to light when people like Ocasio-Cortez start going around and telling people to kill those that oppose them.
Hence: fuck communism.

Marginal utility was popularized after das kapital. When the capitalist elite sensed that labor theory of value was gaining more and more popularity.

literally from the wikipedia article I linked:

>The doctrines of marginalism and the Marginal Revolution are often interpreted as somehow a response to Marxist economics. However the first volume of Das Kapital was not published until July 1867, after the works of Jevons, Menger, and Walras were written or well under way (Walras published Éléments d'économie politique pure in 1874 and Carl Menger published Principles of Economics in 1871); and Marx was still a relatively minor figure when these works were completed. It is unlikely that any of them knew anything of him. (On the other hand, Friedrich Hayek and W. W. Bartley III have suggested that Marx, voraciously reading at the British Museum, may have come across the works of one or more of these figures, and that his inability to formulate a viable critique may account for his failure to complete any further volumes of Kapital before his death

Just as an example take any MMO. If everyone started the game with all the best end game gear and all the mounts, how many people would play it? Basically 0 unless it had some kind of amazing story. You could argue that people are just trained to be this way because they grew up in a capitalist system, but I think it's human nature to want to get things that are hard to attain so that you can show off the fact that you did that.

If there were a utopia scenario where there was infinite food and water, people would just find the next best thing that's exclusive to lord over other people. So naturally that would be land. So in that scenario you would just have an extremely bad overpopulation and real estate problem. And people would still find a way to "be better than" everyone else around them.

No you fuck, a cloth has value because it is useful, but what constitute the limiting factor of production? Labor. If you can an infinite amount of clothes, it's value will be close to 0. If you can make only 1 cloth, it's value will be phenomenal. But what constitute the limiting factor of how many clothes you can make? Labor. Labor in quantity and in quality.

the growing complexity of human organization has never and probably will never make point 'a' equal point 'b.' proximity to (what individuals believe to be) the conditions leading to success will always generate perceived imbalance and hierarchy, no matter how you slice the pie.
the argument isn't that a 'bad (faith) actor' can foment total collapse of an arbitrary shared belief system, it's that he has an advantage in that system by behaving with the understanding that a. hierarchy is inevitable and b. he exists in a superstructure of structures which permits by default everything forbidden by x local structure. this is why there are successful and unpunished 'bad faith actors' in every system of organization.
we create systems that seemingly go 'against our nature' because the people who design these systems understand (and indeed outcompete those who don't) that you can temporarily create more favorable local systems by deferring and/or ignoring certain base anarchic drives.
these systems apparently "don't collapse" because a. randomness doesn't compound or interact with these systems like you've implied b. they continue to exist at the expense of other systems (human and non-human) c. they last longer in spirit and 'collapse' more gradually than any given generation of spectators can justifiably label in catastrophic terms.
regardless, the whole point of the post was to say that living according to the labels we have for systems described by our abysmally limited perspective is for complete rubes. the bulk of economics/ the human condition/whatever exists outside the confines of the words we have to describe them.

>Keep wageslaving, bitch.

implying they are stupid, idiots for providing for themselves and their families. you know people from the working class are proud of their labour? (honestly, this tells a lot about you.)

I would, because that's what's driving you to your stupid leftism.

I watched the video. Not only once is it explained why the chocolate bars are worth 100, 80, 60 and 40, and why the fruits are worth 120, 100, 50, 20. Utility is useless to determine the value of something. It could if there was no competition, and an excellent chocolat, which was cheap to produce, was the only one on the market. However, let's imagine there is an excellent chocolate, which is cheap to produce, because it is cheap in both variable to produce it (variable capital and constant capital). The producer sells it expensively on the market. It would work for a time, until an other factory would made the same, or a very close chocolate, and sell it for a cheaper price, then a third will sell the same chocolate for an even cheaper price, until the point were we are close to the point were only a small profit is made. So no, in a competitive economy, utility doesn't determine price. Price is determined by the cost necessary to produce the item, which is constant capital (machinery, which are bought by the factory but were themselves made by human work), and variable capital, which is the cost of labor.

The growing complexity of human organization is a continued effort to understand, control and manipulate information more effectively. Intuitively, one can easily deduce that given the level of knowledge acquisition and most importantly the rate (speed) at which such knowledge is acquired constantly increasing, that soon these current labels of ours will be replaced by better definitions and that this process will repeat itself ad infinitum.
Pertaining to your main argument, though, I am in full agreement in its premise, but fail to see its conclusions...
Each individual is an agent; each agent must play the infinite game and within it is found many finite games; within these games nash equilibriums are found, which contribute to the overall nash equilibrium of the grand infinite game of life itself. Systems, then, are finite games, with their own rules.
Your argument is perhaps that these equilibriums are artificial? That the true nash equilibrium would be ancap or some as of yet undefined, or impossible-to-define system?
Yes, it is true that bad faith actors exist and that many are successful and unpunished. That is simply due to information asymmetry. To frame it better, imagine these bad actors are the stock-jobbers of the 19th/20th century dumping their bags on the credulous and ignorant public. Their advantage has a positive coefficient with information asymmetry.

I can't remember where exactly I was going with this. The main thrust of my argument is that as sovereign agents we all contribute to our respective finite game nash equilibriums that, in turn contribute to the ever-changing, ever-shifting, grand nash equilibrium in this infinite game. Randomness is a lack of information; given that information asymmetry declines, we should see less bad faith actors able to adversely manipulate their agency to generate artificial equilibriums. More information leads to higher non-random complex superstructures

If humans are innately cooperative than capitalism is not the best system because we should be inclined to compete more than dominate.

If humans are innately competitive it is in the interest of the 99% to use culture to force some cooperation to prevent being dominated by most vicious 1% still making capitalism not the best.

If humans innately a mix of the two and dynamically can switch between cooperation and competition given the context (this one is most likely) than it makes sense to culturally pursue cooperation for much the same reason as if we were entirely selfish and competitive by nature.

In any case, if nature is unjust than change nature. We have technology and culture, something animals don't and as such are not bound to our nature. Anyone making an argument that we are simply doesn't understand how innate traits work or how they can be suppressed or even mostly eliminated through cultural conditioning.

you're very naive.
The spectrum goes from full "Free Market" to "Full communism". Neither "truly" has been tried, because people fight over what system is used. In the history of "almost communism" it has led to genocide and mass starvation in 23 of 24 times, and a severely gimped economy 1/24 times.
The system of "almost" free market has led to understanding the very physical universe so well we could destroy the entire planet at a whim, and a massive technology increase allowing for a 6 billion population and allowing edgy teenagers to converse at lightspeed about how everything should be free and they don't have to work.

The inherent problem with a "cooperative" system, is in order to enforce it you have to give someone a central power. Then they just use that power to make everyone bend the knee and enrich themselves. The central authority decides "according to your needs", is about half a slice of bread per week.
The new dictator has seized your wheat fields, so trying to provide better bread service results in punishment.

Capitalism is just letting people decide what is valuable to them, and working for it. Companies compete to give you the best service.

In capitalism you will still find many people trying to enslave you (rent seekers). But at least in capitalism you have the freedom to work harder, be smarter, or otherwise be compensated more than your current situation.
The lack of that opportunity is the death of the soul, which is why it ends in mass death every time.

the sheer fact that we exist and can do anything is proof that a machine can, in fact, be made to do any menial task that must be done in order to sustain a human life, and thus, that we can use such machines to spend time focusing on and refining our higher, uniquely human traits. to be in favor of a democracy, no less one in which you vote to surrender yours, and everyone else's liberty to government in exchange for their *promise* of your protection or security on the backs of the people in society who have earned the most money through providing people with goods and services that they wanted and needed in the free market is to guarantee that your most capable individuals who can produce the most inconceivably, wildly enormous abundances of wealth will be discouraged from childhood to ever create or earn anything, and that your nation will be flooded with millions of people imported at their expense from collectivist-leaning populations that, as the government who had imported them knew beforehand, will vote for more of the same thing. to be against liberty in any way at all is to vehemently profess that you have no value, and that your people should be shamed and blasted into darkness for the rest of history.

From my experience and research as an economist, a mix of Capitalism and Social policies are the best at maintaining a functional society. ( quick example: If you are dying and there is a drug/service that can help you, it doesn't matter how much money you have you are willing to pay what ever amount to stay alive. Some products or services have inelastic prices that don't react well to changes in supply)
The fundamental problem that economic systems try to solve is how do we best allocate resources for our society ? Do we look at what can give us the best standard of life even if you do immoral things or do we take note and use our judgement and morality to regulate the markets. That is a fundamental question that doesn't have a lot of options. It's clear to me.

Would i like to day dream about a utopia when every thing is fair and everyone has equal opportunity and we make sure the unfortunate members of our society are well cared for and helped, I do! yet I know reality is no fair and It doesn't work like that.

Okay you are more intelligent than hl6GNVBg. We can have a discussion.

It is true that profit are mostly saved, and re-invested. However, that doesn't mean that the capitalist doesn't take labor done, and profit made, by the worker, and give it to himself.

Necessary labor is the labor made by the worker to renew their living conditions. Surplus labor is the work made by the workers in excess of necessary labor, and given to the capitalst. Since, like you said, in a capitalist economy, most profit is reinvested or saved, in the case were the workers were owning the mode of production, and to attain the same level of production, workers would have to work more, in order to compensate for the surplus labor reinvested or accumulated by the capitalist in a capitalistic economy. In other terms, in a system were the owners of the means of production were the worker, they would have to work more, do more necessary labor, in order to have the same level of production. However, that doesn't mean that the capitalist, in a capitalistic economy once he re-invest or accumulate for the company part of the profit he took from the worker, take for himself a substantial part of the profit, thus literrally living on the work of others. How do you think Rothschild, Rockfeller, Morgan, Schiff, Warburg, and all the satanist pieces of shit obtained their disgusting wealth? By taking the accumulated surplus labor of millions of workers, during litterally centuries. Of course, they re-invested a lot of it, perhaps even the majority of what they took, but what they took still is a gigantic wealth, litterally taken of the sweat and blood of the workers.

But he doesn't.
If the capitalists only consume an extremely tiny portion of resources, and the working class consumes virtually everything, this means that the workers are getting what they produce.
The capitalist is just a person that INCREASES the productivity of labour by combing land, labour and capital to it's most productive uses.
Without the capitalists, the workers have nothing.
Vice versa applies too, but my point is that the capitalist is more important than the workers in this situation, we've had workers since all human history, it's only when capitalists have come along has economic production truly exploded.

>Necessary labor

There's no such thing as necessary labour.

>Surplus labor
See above.

>In other terms, in a system were the owners of the means of production were the worker, they would have to work more, do more necessary labor, in order to have the same level of production.
Exactly, taking over the means of production doesn't benefit the working class.

Hes's not living on the work of others, he's living on an extremely tiny portion of the wage he is paid by doing the WORK of planning the emergent structure of production.

Even if the working class took all of their wealth and went to spend it, it wouldn't mean they would be able to consume more.

Completely false. Productivity massively increased since 150 years, however, wages increase far more slowly than productivity. Thus, people are relatively poorer than 150 year ago. Rich and poor are not a subjective concept. Productivity increase gave us a living standard, which by the way is not thanks to capitalists, but mostly thanks to workers, however, capitalist take a greater part of profit made than 150 years ago.

This means the workers will have to work a lot longer and a lot harder to meet this new demand, also the technology and supply of productive capital would have to increase ginormously.
You cannot just magically massively increase demand and expect the supply to just appear overnight.
The factories, machines, firms etc aren't productive enough to supply that new demand.
To meet this new demand, economic production would have to catch up.

This is the same reason hyperinflation exists, you can't just print a fuckton of money and expect the supply to magically catch up.

Factory in 2019 produce 300 fridge a day. Each fride cost $80 to build for the company. Fridges are sold 200. Wages cost $1400. Profit 300*200=60000.

Yeah i think it's possible (see i debate in good faith). However, i'm not sure, and if profit break one day, capitalism won't be able to renew itself, and it will be catastrophic.

Also, profit might still work with a 2% per year ratio, however, there is another problematic, the saturation in markets. Nobody needs 15 fridges, 8 cars, 40 smartphones. Profit fall, and markets get saturated. The conjunction of these 2 phenomenons might likely kill capitalism definitively.

Buddy, I'm not even going to argue with you because your conception of history is so elementary. I could write to you about capital investments given to Taiwan/Hong Kong due to strategic geopolitical interests from the United States. I could explain to you the power rivalries which led to these economic outcomes.

Moreover, I could write about how interwar Germany was in no way comparable to the Russian Civil War -- with its barren Eastern lands, historically separate from urban centers which now had no agricultural output due to the war. I could write to you of the crippling realities of the Russian winters, which brought people to complete desperation. I could even speak to you about the marauding warlords which came from Mongolia, hoping to establish enclaves within Russia--not to speak of the internal factions fighting for regional power, the entire country breaking at the seams in a vast land which had no organization for all of its history. In fact, to compare the Russian Civil War to interwar Germany irrespective of context is too retarded for me to even process. So please, just shut the fuck up and stop typing.

For profit to break all productivity would have to stop. New resources would stop being discovered, technological progress would stop being made, and the population would fall. By that point we'd either hopefully be past the singularity and be able to transition to post-scarcity, or we'd be in the middle of an apocalypse, where capitalism failing is the least of our problems.

I feel like if that was an issue for the listed industries the problem would have reared its head in them already. Fridges, cars, and smartphones break, new models get made. The markets for the former two surely would have adjusted to this by now, but I don't think smartphones have (especially considering their rapid expansion into third world countries). There is probably reason to expect a collapse in this industry soon, but society as a whole will continue on and recover.

>I feel like if that was an issue for the listed industries the problem would have reared its head in them already. Fridges, cars, and smartphones break, new models get made.

Yes, new models get made, but the general productivity (increase in machinery, robotics, energy) increase each decades, thus decreasing the rate of profit. It's counter intuitive but it is a fact since 1850.

>Every crisis, including the 2008 crisis, is caused by the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
Wrong, every crisis is a direct result of central banking and government intervention in the economy.

Your graph is just showing the effects of central banking on the economy.

Also a reduction in profits wouldn't destroy capitalism, capitalism can be maintained on a small rate of profit.

Also I thought you brainlets thought capitalism will collapse due to a workers revolution because wages for the workers would stagnate and fall to a subsistence level?

They weren't simply "egalitarians" as if human nature can be simplified into a vague word like that.
They were tribal by their nature out of necessity and due to Dunbar's number. We have groups like this today, they're called FAMILIES. You probably only saw 100 people your entire life back then.
