Thoughts on Michael Moor's Capitalism:A Love Story?

Found the freetard. I laugh at people who jack off to "free markets."

Exactly. Once you faggots start realizing communism v. capitalism is a fucking meme, and that Good v. Evil is the real shit, you'll start making better investments.

If you start with a false premise all your conclusions will be wrong :^)

Obama was indeed depicted better than he actually was. I really can't defend Regan though, he made the rich richer and acted like Don's bitch.

Hmm I agree, nice analogy by the way, but don't you think that raising interest rates (doubling) them is a somewhat evil thing to do? The shown commercials made to encourage people to refinance is a bit scammy? Nice video BTW.

Obese "leftist" boomer profits immensely from capitalism by pretending to hate it. People eat it up and throw him millions of dollars. I think he might be /our guy/, lads.

Kek

communism is evil

The 1%is richer than 90% guess which - ism I'm talking about. At least people can put food on the table in a capitalistic country.

Yes. Communism is what it looks like when Evil has taken complete and total control. In capitalism, it has to lurk in the shadows and try to pull strings from high places, hoping no one notices.

only when politicians and corporations try to undermine freedom

Watching Obama gasp for air has been pretty great.

Obligatory.

You mean like back in the day where your employer paid you in scrip and literally shot you for striking? That kind of unregulated market?

Once Holochain moons I have no qualms enslaving the normies and neither should you. Fuck humanity and fuck this planet. I want all of it to burn.

>but don't you think that raising interest rates (doubling) them is a somewhat evil thing to do?
Of course. But that's like saying it's evil for a pimp to slap a hoe. It's just what pimps do to hoes.

just thought this could use a bump

and they laugh about your poverty, mooch

Ban sophomore year posters plz

>hurrr durrr muh capitalism is bad
Literally brainlet-tier "ideology"
I don't know how anyone can be /leftypol/ unironically without getting embarrassed. Part of me thinks it's a really elaborate troll effort.

Very few intelligent people support capitalism. Here is a good Non-Compete video.

You just described pure capitalism though. Pure capitalism = slavery. Theres nothibg more capitalist that owning people and chattel

Lol I liked the Ford guy. Called Michael out on his faggy little dick liberal bullshit

Capitalism is the worst economic system known to man, except everything else.
Socialism always results in a never ending spiral of failure, paranoia and infighting, because it's based on criminalizing personal interests to prop up "the greater good".

I liked the ford guy too. He even drove a Mustang. I remember during the auto bailout the CEOs got called out for driving foreign car. But Ford didn't even need a bail out, because they respected their own product.

nigger if you think the market is free or fair in any way you're probably not rich at all. the amount of exploitation, cronyism, and corruption involved is actually hurting free markets/capitalism in the long (short?) run

You can't argue with facts. There are fewer people living in poverty post-capitalism than at any other time in human history. and I'm talking about real poverty. The kind of poverty where you will go without food if the harvest is bad or you don't have any access to clean water.
The poor have not gotten poorer.

Bump

idiot capitalism may not be perfect but it's the one system that works and produces results and provides the best quality of life most choices and opportunity.

>The poor have not gotten poorer.
i think it depends on the time frame.

well there is a very easy way to understand what is going on: think of money as something that has gravity. more money will pull more money together faster. this accumulation of wealth is unavoidable. you can try tax the rich to redistribute money but the rich have the most means and motivation for avoiding taxes, and there is an important factor that plays the most crucial role in the process:

basically if you assess and manage your risks properly your wealth will grow and if you don't you will lose money. and that is why 99% is poor. because they can't fucking manage risk. and that is why the capitalist is rich because he fucking can. owning the means of production for example comes with great risk it's a fucking investment nothing is free if the investment doesn't pan out if the market rejects the product all that money is gone. workers may not get the profit but they also have zero risk of their capital.

What personal interests does socialism have to criminalize?

>capitalist has more risk
>when corporations can declare bankruptcy without any liability on the shareholders' personal holdings
Suuuuuuuure

in case of a bankruptcy the shareholders are the last to get anything from the companies assets. first the liabilities of the comapny are settled then bond holders are paid and whatever if any left on the bones is what the shareholders can divide up.

the shareholders owe money in bankruptcy you brainlet

you are just contradicting yourself while not making any sense here.

This isn't reddit so it's not gonna be easy to bring up citations.
But look at the history of communism in practice. At first they want worker owned means of production, with collectives and co-ops. But the co-ops and collectives end up in the gulags. That's because they wind up serving their own interests.

Even in Ancom Catalonia, they ended up lynching the stable boys and bar tenders. Because commies have a never ending list of goods and services they think are oppressing them.

Red China won't let you bring literature from the outside world, because they could contain general ideas that could oppress them.

In Venezuela, they don't allow goods and services to flow through the nation freely and set strict price controls, so prices can't fluctuate with supply and demand. So goods are being smuggled out or hoarded. Toilet paper is being used as a store of value.

It wasn't real communism. BOOM

I just visited Shanghai for 14 days and nobody gave me any trouble for my SKAGBOIZ and Catch 22 in my backpack, when they scanned it.

it's subjective, so it depends on how strict the minders are

Also, they've grown some respect for regional autonomy. For example, hong kong is technically under communist rule, but it still has crazy Milton Friedman standards. China could drop the hammer and sickle on them if they stood up to the central planners. But they don't want to ruin a good thing.

no they don't that is the entire point of limited liability. The liability of a shareholder only goes up to the nominal amount paid for when shares are first subscribed for when a company is founded. Amazon's share's nominal value is $0.01. investors only lose the exchange value of their share, they lose nothing over that. Creditors only come first in the queue when a company goes bankrupt because no bank would lend money if they didn't, precisely because shareholders don't have to contribute to the company debts.

They owe, but dont need to pay.
Thats my point

Nah the kulaks ended up being repressed in the process of dekulakisation, that wasn't collectives or co-ops, that was the creation of the co-ops and collectives. The kulaks were more like wealthier land-owning peasants who made other peasants work for them on their land, like a throwback to feudal land ownership, only the kulaks weren't noble, or had the backing of the state. The process of dekulakisation was done really violently and stupidly, and lots of kulaks resisted by killing the draft-horses and burning the grain, which is understandable, but that did also contribute to the big famine/holodomor a year or so later.
