  • Monetarism is a philosophy about how economies should be operated. This clip is more about the violence of private property and work.

  • @tpwatson Never mind. This is getting fucking retarded, even by Youtube argument standards. Good riddance.

  • @FiveofHearts1

    Your getting off topic here. If you believe private ownership negates serfdom, I'd like to introduce you to the history of manifest destiny, slavery and serfdom in the US.

    We can discontinue this chat, as I see you have no interests in actually using facts or history to further this discussion.

  • @tpwatson Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Everyone wants to be afraid of corporations, while pretending that strong government is somehow magically uncorruptable. Only an ignoramus would think that.

    No. You can't have serfdom with private ownership, because you own your land, and more importantly? Yourself. No one can claim anything you produce or own, and you can do with it what you want.

    And if you want to cry about bad education? The government has a monopoly on that. Enjoy.

  • @FiveofHearts1

    So are you saying without private ownership, serfdom is the only outcome. You can easily have serfdom with privtae ownership depending on who owns the land. The entire world didn't serve as serfs before private ownership was created either fyi. There are many systems and cultures most are not even aware of due to the type of education we receive. I wouldn't call protecting land via inferred violence/prison the ideals of civility either, but we are entitled to our own opinions.

  • @tpwatson No, you're right, we haven't always had privatization of land. Before that we were serfs serving Lords. We can always go back to that if you like, Hell we're on the track now.

    Private Ownership is the cornerstone of civility and really liberty.

    Rights aren't paid for. They don't cost anything.

  • @FiveofHearts1

    How does one have rights or ownership? Because they "paid" for it with money, or possibly stole it by force? The world and humanity has not always known privatization of land and resources.

  • a culture that uses more natural resources than are naturally replenished is unsustainable (will collapse).

    a culture that can find a way to fix this would not collapse.

    stop bickering and start working together. in real life. get off your computer and learn some social skills.
