RE: So, you're an anarchist?

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

if you were starving and the payout on your post was your only way to access food and I used my free market to flag you, would that be violence or just my rights?

Trick question, the only thing keeping you from food would be the guard at the door of the market, not money.

The guard is your ruler and god, money means nothing. This guard is the new government, one you have just as much control over as any government under capitalism.

This happens for real every day. 20 million die a year of poverty alone. Charity or not, the system punishes conscious and rewards greed. This means those in the position to give the most have the mindset to take the most from those starving.

this book explains the process well.

Do you even know I'm not in favor of the crony capitalism that we have today?

crony capitalism? This is exactly what the owners of capital want. This is always the end state of capitalism no matter how it starts out.

This book still explains it, just read it.

To sum it up if you are lazy. Capitalism must always expand because profit is reinsvested. LArger businesses do better than smaller ones. This means monopolies always form and adding the tendency for the rate of profit to fall they must find jobs that require high amounts of extremely cheap labor or collapse. After that they still must always expand, eventually running out of room to expand means they must either take over more land or destroy the private property they have through war and re-invest profits into re-building it, or else the system will literally grind to a halt for lack of ability to invest as rate of return drops to zero and then markets stagnate.

again, private property can not exist without a government. The ruling class always wants more power, as that is what is rewarded by this system. They gain control of the government, easily. (If they can't they overthrow it through their power as capitalists, as shown in chile and Venezuela and create a new government, usually with a dictator. Remember, the biggest capitalists all over the world supported hitler and vice versa.
