In capitalism anyone can be anything they want. If you're not attractive to women and you're not making money...

in capitalism you can OWN anything you want

i can't own people, so it isn't capitalism

if we had true capitalism first thing i'd do is buy you and use you for furnace fuel

OOOOH BURNNNNN

>in capitalism you can OWN anything
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_(economics)

capitalism as an economic system is essentially the rule that those who possess capital may determine how it is applied

in other words bend your ass over and prepare thyself, thrall

Which is why I'm not even trying anymore

lol the main benefit of capitalism is that the owners of capital (investors/shareholders) assume the risk and not the workers
i.e. when the company you're working at declares bankruptcy, you personally don't have to sell your house to pay off its debts, you just have to find a new job

>be me
>be robot
>get to live a comfortable lifestyle because I happened to be born extremely wealthy compared to most people who have ever lived

you start watching anime
its a foolproof plan, elon musk watches anime, bill gates watches anime, obama watches anime
and they are all great people with succesful lives

problem is you probably don't own your house, the bank does, and it'll reposses it and kick your ass out when you lose your job

so you see the workers do carry all the risk because the corporation simply declares bankruptcy and sells off its capital assets to shells which then reassemble and form a new company to repeat the process

>"the world is fair and just."

Why are you posting this??

>it'll reposses it and kick your ass out when you lose your job

>implying no one owns real estate
>implying it's impossible to find a new job ever
>implying the US economy isn't currently at full employment

>so you see the workers do carry all the risk because the corporation simply declares bankruptcy and sells off its capital assets to shells
I don't mean to be rude, but you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. That's not how bankruptcy works.
Typically, assets are sold off to recoup as much of past investments as possible and investors walk away with a loss.

you said workers which it is assumed do not carry capital assets

if you have investment assets like real estate (not merely your accommodation) you aren't just a worker

yes there are plenty of such people, they're called "the 1%"

i'm one of them

>That's not how bankruptcy works.
sounds like you're not an investor/creditor that has ever been involved in a bankruptcy case where you have stake

taking your money and skipping town is what bankruptcy is all about

workers do have assets

Its true tho ghdc

>workers do have assets
you call those assets? ^__^

>you said workers which it is assumed do not carry capital assets
Most adults (before the millennial generation) do own the home they live in.
If you have equity in your home, you have an asset. If you own a car, you have an asset. If you put money into a 401k or IRA, you have an asset. If you put money into a savings account, that's an asset. Those can all be liquidated to pay debts in the event of a personal bankruptcy.

>if you have investment assets like real estate (not merely your accommodation) you aren't just a worker
If you don't own any assets, you're either a teenager or a NEET. The vast majority of workers have assets in some form.

>tfw argumentum ad dictionarium
all well and good but not an argument i care about, we all have access to the dictionary fren

would you be interested in arguing anything i said besides the way i used a word?

Your argument was that workers don't have capital assets. Workers do in fact have capital assets unless they're financially irresponsible.

How is that an argument ad dictionarium? I'm not debating the definition of workers or assets, I'm pointing out a fact that you've forgotten about - workers do own assets. You seem to be backtracking.

>great grand daddy* was one of them

my argument was that workers don't have capital assets that should be considered significant in terms of capitalism or their effect upon the economy via an individualistic basis.

yes, people own things. they don't make a significant portion of their income from them...

i make most of my income from royalties so i'm an exception. remember the "i'm one of them" part. most people do not make most of their income/revenue derived from capital assets.

but they do have significant assets. your argument is pretty weak

straw-men aren't known for their strength

you clearly have no idea what that phrase means but you can try again

Nice strawman you goddamn retard

>my argument was that workers don't have capital assets that should be considered significant in terms of capitalism or their effect upon the economy via an individualistic basis.

>you said workers which it is assumed do not carry capital assets

Nice attempt at moving goalposts. Have fun wallowing in your own stupidity, since it's clear you're not here to learn anything.

>you're not here to learn anything.
i seem to be the one teaching this class mate

>teaching how to be wrong and then make a fool of myself

>make a fool of myself
doing a good job there mate but you didn't learn that trick from me

you're a natural mate

relax kiddo, nobody cares that you're wrong

apply to higher tier jobs, work for one or two years until you're able to switch to a better job... the cycle continues.
at some point you're able to just make a biz and hire people to do the work for you. then you're working like 20hrs a week, saving you some time to have a family.

>The world is fair and just.
That's not how capitalism works, and no one has ever said it was. A capitalist society closely mimics nature - it's a "survival of the fittest" society, not a "everybody get's the same" society.

>If you're not attractive to women
Explain to me why you think that a free market (or any other kind for that matter) economy is going to help a guy who's 5'2", or weighs 300lbs, or has a face like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle. I'm genuinely curious.

>capitalism = greatness
>fine print: except we won't pay our employees.. for reasons

capitalism in a nutshell.

>im extremely kind and open minded and i don't find anything interesting in alcohol and drugs like they do (im talking mostly about the kind on boys at my school that get the girls, fuck it everyone thinks that drinking and smoking makes you cool)
Poor, poor ignorant user.

Capitalism is a good thing, user. It awards people for being competitive, innovative and diligent. Taking advantage of opportunities around you is the best way to climb out of poverty.

fuck mate, i just read what i said and it sounds retarded, sorry

Oh soyo, we are all victims

what the fuck are you even talking about? suck my dick for a more original comment
