One is the worshipping of capital and allowing individuals to accumulate insane amounts of money (over generations), the other is a belief that the free market should set prices, but that money should generally be somewhat fairly distributed, i.e. people should pay part of their wealth into a “general budget” that is used to balance out the divide between the rich and poor so society as a whole advances.
Tell me how capitalism is better than equalitarian free marketism

because if i am more successful i dont want to sacrifice my earnings for people who are less successful
>inb4 sweeping generalisations about poor and rich people
im not a fascist but it nails it on the head. Capitalism and consumerism will not bring happiness to mankind, while strands of marxist socialism (which attempt to solve this issue) fuck over individualism.
Taking money from people with, and splashing it over people without, is the most braindead approach to fixing wealth indifferences. It also predicates on the idea that material wealth is all that matters. Besides the basics (which in todays capitalist society, is already provided in NEETbux) what do you think the distributed income will be spent on?
What is the point of being productive when surplus will be taken from you? when it could just be provided for by those who work hard? where is the incentive? How do you expect to generate wealth when none is being generated? All questions which this 'equalitarian free markets' have no answers for.

What you're talking about is literally just socialism caked in lies
You can't have a free market and also distribute wealth because distributing wealth requires forcible coercion or regulations and is by definition not free, you economically illiterate fucktard
James Long
Oh, and 19 million dollar cars and other luxury items are wealth distribution, by the way
They take 19 million dollars away from somebody with more money than sense and distribute it among the entire production chain of workers and mechanics and designers that produced that car.

Can you tell me how society advances? Only differences i can see is that everyone will be able to afford the same standard of goods no matter your life's endeavours. Now your job means even less to you making it a lot less enjoyable experience.
How will this make society better? It sounds so sweet on paper "we are all equal now n shiet" but once again it works upon the assumption that being able to afford slightly better shoes, and the same shoes as that guy who was once rich, will make people happier. This is how consumerism has corrupted your political view.

We don’t have capitalism, we have state sponsored socialism. 0 banks failed in 2008 and went bust.
It has long since stopped benefiting the average person; that people are shocked that millenials consider full bore socialism is itself shocking. Why wouldn’t they want to burn it all down? Nothing makes any sense. Floyd mayweather is worth 250M and he can’t read this sentence.

I agree, I never liked the modern style of bugati. I dont hate it but its just not what I wuold buy if I have the money.

did you know that vendors and employees make these cars and get paid based on sales? did you know there are also mechanics and entire industries that support these cars, where real people feed their families thanks to all the things you don't like because you're an emotional bitch that has been brainwashed by broken high school teachers whom are also most likely all child molesters

19 million dollars is the equivalent of around 1 million man hours. That’s several years of work for a hundred people.
The same time could have been used to advance in spaceflight, solve climate change or treat the sick or produce shoes for kids.
Grayson Myers
they both suck
Henry Bennett
Did you know the time of all these people dealing with this one 19 million dollar car was completely wasted? Everyone would have been better off doing something else with their time and resources.
Christopher Harris
There is a right balance to be maintained. Too much inequality is not good, but neither is too much equality.
Sometimes the super rich do good. We need a couple of billionaires who pour money in crazy projects taxes would never fund, like Eusebi Guell who was Gaudi's patron and made Barcelona beautiful.
David Jackson
capitalism IS 'equalitarian'
no matter where you're from or your beliefs you can use your cunning, skills or intellect to acquire resources in a non-aggressive manner from those either beneath you or in need of you
Nicholas Thomas
Was it wasted? A bunch of common workers got paid and a bunch of wealth was taken away from a dumb rich prick.
A commie like you should be happy about that
Adam Hill
One offs from a legitimate manufacturer don’t work like that. This car will retain its value. With the hype, I bet the original owner could sell it at auction for more than he paid.

If we have a million people dug a hole and another million people put the dirt back in, would their time be wasted? What if we paid them to to do so? What if we also wasted a shitton of gold and precious metal and timber and energy to dig the hole? Better?
Owen Davis
> pour money in crazy projects
Any privately funded project of the 21st century that makes up for the loss of 100 trillion of wealth to the superrich?
Sebastian Hall
That's why the solution is a mixed economy. Mutualism embraces individualism and the labor theory of value. Georgism embraces socialized natural capital (land primarily), but permits ownership of capital on the basis that it's all derived from natural capital (which is the only source of taxation).

Because capitalism exists.
Hudson Nelson
Because things would be equal for about 5 minutes. Then all of you low IQ, high time preference retards would be broke again, at which point you need to redistribute again. Repeat until everyone is broke and you all starve.
John Gutierrez
If some rich cunt was willing to pay that money for me to dig a hole out, stuff some shit in it, and fill it back in, I'd do it with a song in my heart, friend.

The wealth is only on paper, you fool. Just because a billionaire earns 10000 times the money you do doesn't mean he consumes 10000 times as many resources. In reality, the "standard of life"-gap isn't all that big. And you can be thankful for most of your life standard because of "muh evil capitalists". Their constant investions keep the system running. The government cannot do that as effectively. I've lived in the GDR. It was shit. I didn't starve or something, but nearly all people had an objective standard of life comparable to those on welfare nowadays. Capitalism made the average life standard increase tenfold.

The labor theory of value is bunk, and was crafted for a narrative, rather than the other way around.

If you're trying to use the image as an example, you're an idiot. Rich people blowing money on dumb shit is a classic form of wealth redistribution.

the saddest part about this is that car has probably a production cost of around $80k
bugatti is literally the apple of fucking cars.
overpriced literal crap just marketed like its priceless.

Owen Watson
Because the way your idea plays out in practise, which we've already been seeing happen for decades now, is that instead of the state acting as a neutral force actually redistributing this money, the general budget instead becomes another tool of wealth accumulation, steered by the already rich to redistribute wealth from the middle and lower class to themselves. That's why taxes are so exorbitant for the middle class, those taxes are only used for measures that are bad for said middle class, and the richest people with the most money to give, just so happen to be tax-exempt.
