@taponx is their any indicators that capitalism would support a full scale society, besides the fact that it has worked (crappily), how would everyone working individually on seperate things work, it makes no sense but if everyone worked togather for the greater good of everyone (real communism) wouldn't that work better?
why is it that so many people decide to debate rather than enjoy the show? its like talking about evolution vs. creationism while watching Angels and Demons
It has for too long been thought that the conflict over Galileo's ideas was primarily one of a conflict between Church and Science. The evidence, however, is that Galileo's first and greatest enemies were his colleagues, the Liga, at the university, who found it convenient to recruit the powers of the church and state in their support.
@zombielandful IT does not inherently do that. Haven't people ever hear of Corporatism? Corporatism is what we are living in. We've never had clean capitalism.
@doctorwho3600 yep, easy physicallly, not morally. If people really know what capitalism was about no one would approve of it except the worst of criminals and the insane.
@zombielandful the anser to that is simple. capitalism fucks the workers because capitalism works for the people who chose to go make something of there life. dont like it go to cuba.
@zombielandful simple. because capitalism works for people who go and make something of there lives, own a buisness or go into a field of high demand. if you dont like that then deffect to the workers "paradise" of north korea.
The thing that makes capitalism and communism fail, is well explained in this video. It's bcuz they're extremes. The best would be in the gray zones btween them
@rolingpingu You assume a continuous line between capitalism and communism; ie. One dimensional R^1. Politics is however much more complex; ie. multidimensional, R^n.
@Scientisticsoviet I've actually heard about this (the multidimensional politics). My statment was, though, to point out that we often tend to choose between black or white and never go to look in the gray zones of the subject.
OMG, I have NEVER seen a better representation of politics! B4 this, it was in South Park, when they say u have always to choose between a douche or a turd.
when you redistribute the wealth, in the act of abolishing private property, are you also redistributing the collective intelligence of a population, sure seems that way on youtube GO CAPTAIN CAPITALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
captilism is not democracy... communism either.... both of them don't express the idea of democracy, becouse capitalism is based on neoliberalism (now) and the concept of private property, from that fact it is not equal, there isn't equality... the communism on the other way is in the concept that goberment must lead the way of life of the people becouse they aren't capable of rule by themself... both of them are crap, the only way is communitarian life, self-solvency, and direct democracy...
@pkew87 I used to think the same as you but Marx's communist manifesto made things so clear. There is no self solvency, things ultimately fall into the left right or centre or their a cocktail of things from each area. Liberalism is all for one, conservatism is nothing for anyone since everything is all owned by an elite minority. Socialism is all for one and one for all. Liberalism and Conservatism are two pillers of Capitalism which is indirect fascism.
@pkew87 Before the planet had it's first cities things were either left or right. Tribes were socialist and animals that were bound into food webs were conservative but safe.
@RaughPower ..yeah you're right.. :-)don't get me wrong, i was just making a general point of view of some post that i read..i considered myself as a socialist, and a materialist in that way to explain the social dynamics, and cultural behavoir... and taking a look in the formal first societies they got a communitarian behavior but in 3 different process in order to their complex... i mean there was equal societies, hierarchy societies and stratified... The Incas for example were communitarian
You didn't realise it, but you just made an oxymoronic term there: you said "no examples of it working in a country". It's perfectly true, if a socialist state was ever created, where the workers rose up and overthrew the bourgoeisie and elites, then that country would be invaded and destroyed within months.
A socialist country cannot exist: socialism is internationalist. The only way socialism can truly work is if workers of the world unite and overthrow the entire capital class.
Captain Capitalism expresses the mainstream of American Culture. Like the Republican and Democratic Parties, the terms "liberal" and "conservative" have a shallow meaning in our society. Hot Button Issues like Gun Control and Abortion have taken over political debate for so long that the American electorate has become subdued and alienated from real democracy. We must CHANGE the very system itself - Capitalism , beginning with a consciousness and movement for a real alternative.
The Marxist/Socialist/Communist school of thought and very deep and complex. It's extremely hard to actually sum it up.
Don't get your views on Marxism through the McCarthyism that has polluted our country's media in the last 60 years. Do the research yourself. You may like what you read or maybe you won't. Oh and try to read books by actual Marxists or Socialists themselves. I mean, why read a book on a person who has a biased view on it over someone who actually lives their lives by it?
Read Plato's republic for the definitions of democracy and a republic and you will see that America is a republic and not a true democracy.
Athens was a democracy where the citizens voted on every issue.
America is a republic where the citizens vote on who will represent them and the representatives vote on the issues in a way that they think the interests of the citizens would be best served, (in theory at least)
Wow, the ignorance of people defending communism and socialism in this thread is utterly astounding. From saying that there has never been a true communist country to capitalism kills people. Wow! capitalism = freedom, plain and simple. Communism = oppression. Don't try to put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. Wake up and realize that you wouldn't even have a site like You tube to post your pathetic anti-capitalist views if this were a communist country.
Do some research you kulak,there has never been a communist country in the world,they have never been free states for,and run by the people,they have ALWAYS been run by a single person who has complete and total authority over the state.That is NOT communism.
Capitalism is freedom?A country cannot be free if it was built on the blood of slaves.
And ALL capitalist countrys have been built on the slain blood of culture,humanity,and freedom.
@Chainsawcannibal actually there can not be a communist country, because nacionalism and comunism are extremely the opposiste.... And yes, once there was a true proleterian state, the organization of the soviets(council) began on each factory by factory comitee and ended on its more general form the soviets(council).... In russia, with the bolshevic direction, successfully took over the control of the means of production... But with stalin it degenerated, because nationalism isolate...
Im sure you know how Communism is a state where all people share authority?
Thats not freedom?
Your trying to say that a capitalist state,where corperations own you as a pawn,steal from the poor,take rights from the poor,for their own selfish desires is freedom?
We wouldnt need to post our "Pathetic anti capitalist views" if this was a Communist country,for there wouldnt be any capitalism to argue about.
So you prefer youtube over a functional healthcare system?
OK, assuming for a second that a communist state wouldn't devolve into a dictatorship and a kleptocracy, giving everybody authority in the government can still be oppressive. Just because something is the will of the masses, doesn't mean it's just. Making sure that individuals are free to live their lives as they please is what I consider to be just.
What Communist value says that people cant live their lives as they please?
And to prevent the rise of a dictatorship,thats why ALL people share authority.This is true democracy and equality.Why should some get more,and more get less?
Your right,thats why EVERY society,tribe,culture always has a set of values that the entire government follows to prevent the government from becoming "corrupt".
If "from everyone according according to his ability, to everyone according to their need" isn't 100% voluntary, then they are preventing people from keeping what they own and living their lives.
I don't believe in democracy (aka mob rule). Again, the majority can infringe on the rights of the minority. In a Republic we all have the authority to choose our representatives.
And some should get more because they are smarter, better, or more willing to work.
Im just going to give a true example of my own experience.
As a child,my mother had to have 2-3 jobs to support my family,and was barley making enough money to survive off of.A owner of a local mcdonalds or walmart.He just WATCHES other people work for him,as he makes billions of dollers.
Capitalism isnt based off of hard work and sacrifice,its based off of the more greedy you are willing to be,the more you can steal and get.
In any case, it sounds like your mom was a hard worker. Is there any reason she couldn't advance or get herself a better job?
Also, owners and managers don't just watch people, they handle a lot of decisions that ultimately impact the workers. If there are bad managerial decisions, the company might go out of business and your mom would have lost the job. And many of walmart's higher ups worked their way up from the floor.
Because in Capitalism,the company would have lost money if they gave her more money.The fact is,your nothing but a pawn to them,working for what?For what?
"Advance" doesn't just mean more pay, it means a promotion to more responsibilities and more work. That's why she would get payed more...
And yes, I'm being payed by every corporation to sit on youtube and argue with idealistic kids that have no concept of how the world really works. In no way am I defending principles of freedom.
Decisions are part of the job of a franchise owner as on top of the fact that he or she risked their own money to buy that franchise and start the restaurant. Again, without them, your mom wouldn't have had that job.
And the original owner of Wal-Mart couldn't buy a franchise. He slowly built it up. Does a person with the ability to start and maintain a store deserve the same pay as someone who only works on the floor?
Shit, and I forgot to add the fact that with a lower tax rate, she wouldn't have had as much of a problem with what she was being payed. Even if she wasn't paying a lot of income taxes, the prices we pay and the wages we get are worsened by things like high corporate taxes.
Rebuttal for the rest of your comment?I wont be able to answer every one of your comments because I have something called a ...life?
That "manager" isnt doing shit.He isnt working,sacrificing.
In Communism,you are your manager,and in Communism,you are granted,ALWAYS,a job,you shouldnt have to rely on someone's bad managing to keep your life in line.
So, you can take two minutes to respond to my simplest point, but an extra four minutes to respond to the harder ones would throw off the rest of your day?
I've already told you what managers have to do. And on top of that I've seen many managers get in and do the work themselves when needed AND the ones on salary have to stay over sometimes with no extra pay. Have you even had a job?
Do you realize that that's the ideal of Communism, and even if it could be achieved, it still has to be achieved through force...force that rewards vice and punishes virtue?
And no, I was saying your officers were the ones that watched you. I was just wondering if you thought that was all the did (similar to the greedy evil capitalist pigs).
"...you shouldnt have to rely on someone's bad managing..."
You wouldn't even HAVE the job in the first place if it wasn't for the entrepreneurs that created the job. And under Communism, if management (the State) is bad, not only can you lose your job, but all other jobs could vanish along with any government services. All at the same time. Bad management in the capitalist system just means you have to walk down the street. Oh, and you're not your own manager under communism...the State is.
"High corporate taxes is what builds Capitalism,dont you see?
If the capitalist dont tax you,then how are they going to force you to give them money?"
Goddamn, I think you just gave me an aneurysm. No way that anyone is that fucking stupid. You must be a troll not to understand that Capitalists can't tax you or force you in any way (without the help of government), and that Corporate tax is what corporations pay to the State.
Capitalism sucks because in capitalism all that matters is that the politicians earn money and the people suffer. In socialism the people are the priority. In socialism everybody has to work. In socialism the people earn the same amount of money no matter how rich or poor they are and everbody has to work for eight hours a day. This means that with socialism there wouldn't be any poverty in this world. Dont you think that this is the society you would want to live in.
America's idea of Democracy includes 2 parties, both of whom are funded by the rich oligarchs who wouldn't fund the party if the candidates didn't have the oligarchs interests at heart
Meanwhile no other political parties who aren't funded or control by Oligarchs and have true ambitions for the country will most likely never get into power through elections because of this
This maintains the unchecked capitalist oligarch rulers of the USA: Oligarchic Democracy is not tru Democracy
im agree, USA is a plutocracy. There is a bipartidist dictatorship since 200 years....
And im think that the USA people are very ignorant with respect to socialism, comunism, anarchism... most of them doesnt know wath means socialism or comunism( most of them associate only with stalin).... Even is the only country of the world when the word "socialism" is a bad word. In europa for example, there are strong traditions of socialist parties.
If you dont like either candidate, you could always run for president yourself. Serve the people, appeal to their needs, and the people will vote for you regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, etc etc etc. At no other time in history has each citizen had such overwhelming power to change what they did not like, and yet do nothing but complain.
do the principles of democracy include voting between one of two oligarchic corporatist parties who have created a monopoly on the elections cause no one other than Republicans and Democrats gets in since most of the powerful people in america are with one of those two parties
To me true democracy is Non-Partisan, Non-Party and Direct or Representative Direct, Switzerland being off the latter of the 3 points i made
People do not vote outside their comfort zones, thtz y reps and dems get in
◘ Thats democracy, for better or for worse. Middle America WANTS to vote for a suit-and-tie button down married Christian man. Imagine an atheist running for office. Would people ever vote for him? No. THATS DEMOCRACY!
You can change that. The fact that you can change what you dont like IS ALSO DEMOCRACY. Whats stopping you from running for president next election? Nothing is stopping people from voting for you.
You need to campaign, speak to people in a way that communicates effectively, be sensitive and in touch with their needs, show that you're willing to serve them, appeal to their senses, and they will vote for you regardless of everything else. Its not easy, but nothing worth doing was ever easy.
@KaseyAkira Actually, The true goal of democracy (The US is a REPUBLIC not a democracy) has been lost. Look at the Obama admin passing bills at 2 Am on a Saturday! Where is the week of public debate?i don't see it! Capitalism is ruled by the corporations who think they know what we want. While social & communism TEND to do things that will help the country. For the costumer not the country.
@BowieStardust072 continued. . .Capitalism just runs a muck along w/ a republic when people know what to say to get in and then do things that benefit them & convince us that they benefit us too. It could happen anywhere but this is what has happened in the US
Take, for example, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Fascist Spain. In all three cases, the parties were supported wholeheartedly by big business. In all three cases, big business was protected by the state, and their profits grew exponentially from war. (to a lesser extent with Spain) Whenever the corporate elite feels its dominance is threatened, it will endorse fascism. And that is almost inevitable in any capitalist society.
Well, capitalism leads to corporatism. The rich will buy out politicians. To campaign for office today, you have to have a LOT of money. Where does it come from, I wonder? Fascism is more or less the same thing as Corporatocracy. In Fascism, the government is dominant, in Corporatocracy, the overly powerful private sector is. But the result is pretty much the same.
Well the constitution and bill of rights is meant to limit the power of government as to prevent government from turning a capitalist system into a fascist system.
That is until people stop listening to the constitution.
This system of capitalism has led to the highest standard of life for the average person. Where else in the world were one month of your labour is enough to buy a car.
Youre right-for one country. The U.S. has gotten so rich because of its vast resources and its exploitation of other countries-not all of them foreign. In fact, its so friggin rich quite a bit of wealth actually trickles down to the lower classes. But its an unsustainable system in the end. To see what capitalism is like for most of the world, look at Mexico. The right-wing government is supported by the U.S., and the poor have NOTHING. Same in Colombia. The poor are peasants.
I know Capitalism isn't perfect but before you say it sucks, well it sucks compared to what. Which other system had produce greater wealth for the mild class then Capitalism.?
No, you cant predict anything like that about the poor. And like everything else youve said, thats only true for the US, Western Europe, and a few other places. The idea isnt to make the rich poor or the poor rich. I dont know if what you said about the lottery is true or not. That is not the difference between the rich and the poor. The difference is that the rich have money whether they deserve it or not and the poor have less whether they deserve that or not. Nothing else applies.
No, something like 40% on Forbes 400 were born into it. Thats the very richest in America. And I doubt the remaining 60% started with nothing. Maybe a few started middle class, like Gates. But never nothing. Obviously, drug addicts dont represent anyone. The rich man would have a profit going because hes already rich. Its called wealth condensation. And yes, wealth is determined by how much money you have. We dont start equal.
In itself, it hasnt. And Capitalism is responsible for far many deaths more than Communism or feudalism. Just in the US, 4 million native americans died because of American expansion, which was driven by the desire of normal people to colonize new land and by industry. And thats very likely an underestimate. How many slaves died in the US alone? I shudder to think. Capitalism didnt improve the life span, science did, and science is independent of capitalism. It existed long before.
Nope. Not one person ever lost their life in a Communist society. If youre referring to the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, that was state capitalist. Even then, its more like 60,000,000. Whenever I hear someone say that communism killed anyone i just want to smack them. Of course, most scientific breakthroughs occurred in capitalist countries because they were the richest. They are the richest because they sucked the wealth out of other countries, leaving them in poverty.
North Korea lives in poverty not because it is Communist, but because it is a rogue state cut off from the rest of the world and led by a psycho. Anyone that has read Marx would know North Korea is not Communist. Its more like fascist. And besides, I wouldnt be surprised at all if DPRK's "grinding poverty" was mostly propaganda. The Khmer Rouge was not Communist. Again, read Marx. What they allegedly did has no place in Marxism.
You never asked. Communism has never existed on earth. The closest thing that has is Socialistic government. Take Cuba, for example. Even though it has a lot of human rights issues, it has made tremendous progress for Socialism in some areas. Illiteracy, poverty, homelessness, sanitation, unemployment and inflation are pretty much non issues there. And thats according to UNICEF, not Castro. It manages what resources it has much better than any capitalist country, and it doesn't have so much.
It doesnt have much mainly because of the embargo. Even with the embargo, Haiti, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas are much worse off than Cuba. And like I said, Cuba conducts a lot of research, and has even HELPED THE UNITED STATES by sending doctors. Even America, the capitalist superpower of the world, has a joke of a health care system compared to
I didnt say it was great. My point is that its not as bad as the miami mafia wants you to think. Percentage-wise, few Cubans have immigrated to the US. Is that really a fair comparison? Come on, Cuba is a small island choked to death by an embargo and constantly harassed by the world superpower. Cuba is better than any of the surrounding nations except the US. Of course they dont make much, most of latin america is poor. But at least in Cuba the govt takes care of people.
The drug CimaVax EGF for lung cancer. Google it, youll find plenty. In America they fill your head with all kinds of ideas about being anything you want to be. Well, plenty of students with spotless academic records become teachers and bus drivers. They fail to mention that luck and pre existing wealth are at least as important as hard work, if not more. In fact, most social scientists agree hard work alone does not produce social mobility. Most Africans dont either. But theyre not "Communist."
simontimon2, the fact that I even have to explain this to you proves that 50 years of US government propaganda has paid off. Maybe you should consider the possibility that Capitalism is not the magic system its portrayed to be.
Youre Canadian. Canada has always been America's sidekick. I agree with you about unemployment in Cuba, and thats how it should be. I say that because paying work is a constitutional right there, and if you dont work when its a right, theres something wrong. I also agree with you about capitalism, but as Ive said, it creates wealth for the rich. Cuba's main export is doctors and medicine. That video is rigged. An elite? Its much more complicated than that. Ill trust UNICEF over ABC any day.
For the sake of argument, lets say everything in the first video is true. What does it say about Socialism? Nothing. Cuba is an impoverished island in the Caribbean, and it always has been. There is so much bullshit from both sides its almost impossible to come to an objective conclusion. But I think an objective person would say the revolution has actually had a positive effect on Cuba. If Haiti, Jamaica and the other islands are any indication, Cuba would be much worse.
In Communismus are no classes and no coinage and its because one state has embargos and small place and the others dont care about anything theyre the biggest capitalists. They kill day for day their own people because of massively shit and bla bla I dont want to talk anymore with you stupid human race. Your such dumbasses! Go inform yourself it really sucks to talk with such idiots. My whole human race is full of brainless 12-to-noon-thinkers!
But not mass murderer like most of the leaders in past, if you see that in the relation of the past he's just a normal leader and not a mass murderer.
3Million is nothing, our new leaders are going to kill 6kMillion like their plans are saying.
After the Russian workers had their revolution and taken control of the country, the bourgeoisie of the world sent troops to defeat Lenin and take back Russia.
There was this strange situation where German and English solidiers, who in WW1 were enemies, were fighting along side one another as the Whites against the Soviet Red army.
Most people who died under Lenin were because of the civil war and its aftermath.
Simontimon your a fucking idiot,capitalism killed 100 million native americans alone,destroyed the african culture,worst of all,puts rich corperation above people.
The stupid thing is, most presidents do end up in the grey areas. During election time however, it is for some reason seen as desirable to remove all this nuance, and turn into some slackjawed party stereotype.

You didn't realise it, but you just made an oxymoronic term there: you said "no examples of it working in a country". It's perfectly true, if a socialist state was ever created, where the workers rose up and overthrew the bourgoeisie and elites, then that country would be invaded and destroyed within months.
A socialist country cannot exist: socialism is internationalist. The only way socialism can truly work is if workers of the world unite and overthrow the entire capital class.

Captain Capitalism expresses the mainstream of American Culture. Like the Republican and Democratic Parties, the terms "liberal" and "conservative" have a shallow meaning in our society. Hot Button Issues like Gun Control and Abortion have taken over political debate for so long that the American electorate has become subdued and alienated from real democracy. We must CHANGE the very system itself - Capitalism , beginning with a consciousness and movement for a real alternative.

The Marxist/Socialist/Communist school of thought and very deep and complex. It's extremely hard to actually sum it up.
Don't get your views on Marxism through the McCarthyism that has polluted our country's media in the last 60 years. Do the research yourself. You may like what you read or maybe you won't. Oh and try to read books by actual Marxists or Socialists themselves. I mean, why read a book on a person who has a biased view on it over someone who actually lives their lives by it?

Read Plato's republic for the definitions of democracy and a republic and you will see that America is a republic and not a true democracy.
Athens was a democracy where the citizens voted on every issue.
America is a republic where the citizens vote on who will represent them and the representatives vote on the issues in a way that they think the interests of the citizens would be best served, (in theory at least)

In russia, with the bolshevic direction, successfully took over the control of the means of production... But with stalin it degenerated, because nationalism isolate...

OK, assuming for a second that a communist state wouldn't devolve into a dictatorship and a kleptocracy, giving everybody authority in the government can still be oppressive.

In any case, it sounds like your mom was a hard worker. Is there any reason she couldn't advance or get herself a better job?
Also, owners and managers don't just watch people, they handle a lot of decisions that ultimately impact the workers.

Decisions are part of the job of a franchise owner as on top of the fact that he or she risked their own money to buy that franchise and start the restaurant. Again, without them, your mom wouldn't have had that job.

simontimon2 2 years ago
Take, for example, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Fascist Spain. In all three cases, the parties were supported wholeheartedly by big business. In all three cases, big business was protected by the state, and their profits grew exponentially from war. (to a lesser extent with Spain) Whenever the corporate elite feels its dominance is threatened, it will endorse fascism. And that is almost inevitable in any capitalist society.
IPlayWithFire135 2 years ago
You must mean corporatism not capitalism. Yes in fact corporatism does inevitably lead to something like fascism.
Capitalism (People investing in corporation to improve production)
Corporatism (corporation protected by government)
simontimon2 2 years ago
Well, capitalism leads to corporatism. The rich will buy out politicians. To campaign for office today, you have to have a LOT of money. Where does it come from, I wonder? Fascism is more or less the same thing as Corporatocracy. In Fascism, the government is dominant, in Corporatocracy, the overly powerful private sector is. But the result is pretty much the same.
IPlayWithFire135 2 years ago
Well the constitution and bill of rights is meant to limit the power of government as to prevent government from turning a capitalist system into a fascist system.

Youre right-for one country. The U.S. has gotten so rich because of its vast resources and its exploitation of other countries-not all of them foreign. In fact, its so friggin rich quite a bit of wealth actually trickles down to the lower classes. But its an unsustainable system in the end. To see what capitalism is like for most of the world, look at Mexico. The right-wing government is supported by the U.S., and the poor have NOTHING. Same in Colombia. The poor are peasants.

No, you cant predict anything like that about the poor. And like everything else youve said, thats only true for the US, Western Europe, and a few other places. The idea isnt to make the rich poor or the poor rich. I dont know if what you said about the lottery is true or not. That is not the difference between the rich and the poor.

In itself, it hasnt. And Capitalism is responsible for far many deaths more than Communism or feudalism. Just in the US, 4 million native americans died because of American expansion, which was driven by the desire of normal people to colonize new land and by industry. And thats very likely an underestimate. How many slaves died in the US alone? I shudder to think. Capitalism didnt improve the life span, science did, and science is independent of capitalism. It existed long before.

Nope. Not one person ever lost their life in a Communist society. If youre referring to the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, that was state capitalist. Even then, its more like 60,000,000. Whenever I hear someone say that communism killed anyone i just want to smack them. Of course, most scientific breakthroughs occurred in capitalist countries because they were the richest. They are the richest because they sucked the wealth out of other countries, leaving them in poverty.
