Yup.
That term needs to be destroyed. The sooner you guys give up the word capitalism the better.
Under anarchism, capital is no longer subjected to the state - it can now back and protect itself. As such it becomes a much purer form of capitalism.
No. It becomes a contradiction of capitalism.
Capitalism is an excellent term and I’m happy that in the current economic climate, it’s usage and usefulness is increasing as the tides of socialism and fascism are rejected and diminished.
Except everyone recognizes that the cause of the current economic crises is capitalism.
I’m sure connies like you enjoy being the grumpy, old men who never got anything done though.
Btw. Capitalism = Fascism.
Agreed.
Oh everyone? Really? That makes all the difference then.
The cause of the current economic crisis is the state, not capitalism.
Connies like me enjoy being lectured to by internet kiddies who make up stories about being in jail, and in school, and protesting the DNC, and being big time agorists, while living off their parents. We think it’s funny.
Most adults recognize that capitalism and fascism are two different things.
libertystudent,
I enjoy our conversations here. But I think you let your blood pressure go up a little too much and for not good reason. Don’t let people get to you. The problem with a lot of these very people you are against is that they exude anxiousness that makes conversation difficult. Don’t let them pull you in like that. One of the problems with internet forums is allowing this to escalate. It’s not really worth it.
First.
Lol.
The state is implicit in capitalism. Capitalism is implicit in the state.
Thank you for admitting to being a connie. Maybe you should change your name to “conservative” student, because liberty has nothing to do with what you’re advocating.
Not really.
Most adults think of capitalism as “what we have here.” Most adults think of fascism as “what Mussolini and Hitler had over there.”
That’s all they think about the two subjects - and the fact is that they are very similar.
Yes, it does. What do you think language is?
And why’s that?
John, thanks for the advice, but my blood pressure doesn’t get up over forum postings.
I enjoy our conversations as well. [:)]
So it went from being the same, to similar. Great. At this rate, we should arrive at the truth by around 10:00 PM tonight.
Conservative Student is a good name. I’m not ashamed of the fact that I am a social and fiscal conservative.
Because most people associate - and rightly so - the word with this,
and not this,
And that’s why you’re still a grumpy old man with nothing to his name but a computer and some spare time. [8-)]
I have a couple computers. I just got a Dell Mini 9. The Mini 9 makes me happy. So I’m a happy old (33) man with nothing to my name but a couple computers and a new laptop. And some spare time.
That image is ridiculous and totally false. Let’s hope capitalism is not associated with it.
Yeah, gotta keep them brown people down, eh?
Equality is teh evilzorz.
I suppose if we don’t agree that brown people are the same as children we are keeping them down. I expect that brown people would be offended by being equated with children.
