I saw a doctor reality show for these procedures once, they didn’t seem to know.

I’m not sure the doctors know. They see so much that it’s beginning to look normal to them.

I’m not sure I understand your point. Capitalism is still capitalism under different names.

Currency is 3000 years old. Money and Markets preexist the capitalist system.

A core concept of Karl Max book was how local markets can influence prices in distant markets; resulting famine due to prices not availability. That was his literal moral justification for regulating the economy.

I haven’t either, but I’ve been to one. It’s sales only though. https://artistcraftsman.com/employment/ They are very helpful and better than most retail stores.

I just don’t know how our country could switch. I never thought lockdown or trump would happen, so that doesn’t mean much.

Well, if we use the term in the way people generally use the term, I don’t think we could go back to non-capitalism.

I don’t know anyone that could build every component of a computer. I do know people who could from parts, but not make the actual parts.

So, let’s say all of the employees owned every factory they worked in, that would be socialism, right? I could get on board with that. Has it worked anywhere where one person didn’t take it over like a mob boss after a certain amount of time?

Edit: On that last question, I’m hoping that’s a yes.

Tie?

Stephen Miller has that smelling shit thing going on in this pic too.

I mean this sincerely, because I don’t know everything about economics. Is it?

A blacksmith with 5 apprentices is a capitalist, right? An artist like Da Vinci had apprentices, so he was a capitalist. What I’m saying is, you don’t have to go too far from trading chickens to get to capitalism.

Most socialists are against capitalism while a lot of them ooh and ahh over a coffeemaker they just got off amazon. The people bitching here in this thread are using capitalism to do it. I really think we can have a world where communities and the government help each other, it doesn’t have to be like it is now. It actually has been pretty good in some portions of the last 100 years. Definitely not perfect though. A democracy sucks, but it’s the best option there is.

I agree 100%, that’s why they never have an example of one that has worked, there isn’t one. I appreciate the goal, but the practicality of it is nil as a stand alone for anything country size.

I’ve known people that made it work as a living situation, but they all had outside jobs and were bringing resources from outside the community. I’ve heard of it working as a small commune in Norway where they grow their own food and such, but that’s it.

There has to be some sort of trade with a world this size, we currently use ephemeral numbers that we trade and some times paper. If it was a commune, they would still have to trade labor, carrots, chickens or whatever. Capitalism will always be there in some form or another.

She must have been in charge of Epstein’s dead man switch.

2024 VA was better? That’s good to hear that it got better.

Prison style.

Exactly, we’re agreeing.

Okay, name one that worked.

I’m going to have to ask this again it seems. Where has 100% socialism worked for longer than 10 years for a country?

I think socialism is a great idea, but it doesn’t work for anything larger than a small commune and you have to have a common purpose. The greeds are going to take over and become authoritarian pretty quickly if you try it for a country. That’s why socialist democrat seems to be the way to meet everyone’s needs. Bernie style.

No Kings III

1 quarter of the amount of travel? Heads would roll normally if it was 5%.

This is definitely a “Release the Epstein Client List” kind of post.

I’ve blocked quite a few very popular communities because I don’t understand their language. I’m guessing they’re still popular? Europe as a whole, seems to be quite popular (or it was, I’ve blocked them).
