I love your videos. I hope you will continue to make them. You're accurate and your presentation is excellent.

Actually, capitalism is the burden of those who understand economics. Capitalism doesn require anything that is involuntary, and to say that voluntary exchange is illegitimate, well thats silly.

[organdva]

If someone can be born into that position makes him irrational authority. Like bloodlines if kings and queens. You assume that every capitalist starts on zero-ground. Which is not true for the vast majority and that is why they are called capitalist class.

Spawk1993, I'm glad your reading your economics textbook - and have absorbed its insidious ideology - but I suggest you travel to any indigenous culture worldwide and ask them if capitalism has forced them to do anything involuntary - i.e. having their land 'contractually' stolen from them, having their resources stolen, having the singularity of their cultural beliefs hijacked ...

[Anarch0tec]

... in other words, - capitalism - in its very essence - must continually expand no matter what, and thus, it MUST take from those who have ... whether or not its voluntary. Christ, read your history textbook too.

[Anarch0tec]

More acute, when you live in a society where everything is privately owned - and you start out owning nothing - you are forced - involuntarily - to sell, or rent, your body to an employer just to survive.

All of this is directed towards Spawk1993 BTW - i guess I shouldn't do this drunk ...

[organdva]

I know this is directed towards Spawk1993. You just clicked [Reply] on my comment. So, it won't appear on his page. :D

Are you celebrating something?

[spawk1993]

Your confusing the creation of wealth with he redistribution of wealth. Stop.

[organdva]

My response is more honest ;)

[spawk1993]

Im unaware of the capitalist paradise you are talking about. Mainly because it does not exist. To say that the 3rd world has a free market is ridiculous.

[Anarch0tec]

I think you should make a video response then so you can educate me. Apparently I don't know wtf I'm talking about. ;-)

[spawk1993]

okay, the text, the video, or both?

[Anarch0tec]

You shoul make a video proving this point you made: "Capitalism doesn require anything that is involuntary ..." Anarchism is partially predicated on the idea that capitalism is inherintly dominational - i.e. it prevents freedom and equality. Show me how capitalism creates a system that is completely voluntary. These little comment-boxes aren't enough for genuine dialogue.
