       Debate with the Capitalist
       By: guest30 Date: June 29, 2022, 11:41 pm

       @90sRetroFan
       They say that today's world are fine with capitalism. It proven
       that many nations are capitalist by economic system. And
       socialist nations are not many and even few, so according to
       them it is a sign that socialism are fail whatever it's shape.
       My only answer now is, a system which try to free the enslaved
       people deserves to be revived no matter it will fail on some
       period of time, rather than the capitalism which already enslave
       the non-Western world for more than 500 years, and still
       continue to run today. Is there any good answer from you?

       "It proven that many nations are capitalist by economic system.
       And socialist nations are not many and even few, so according to

       Popularity is not an indicator of quality. That popularity
       should be assumed to indicate quality is itself a capitalist
       assumption based on market behaviour (high demand for a product
       = successful product). So the above statement says nothing
       except that capitalism considers itself superior by its own
       standards!
       A more meaningful test of which economic system is qualitatively
       better is how well it can handle various types of crises. You
       can find comparative examples from history and use these to
       support your case defending socialism.

       United States with capitalist system can resulting much
       revenues. But socialist nations like Cuba, Islamic Emirate of
       Afghanistan and North Korea have stagnant economy. That is the
       most often thing which argued by the capitalist progressive. My
       answer is, the socialist nation always struggle to make all
       people live sufficient. When the capitalist nation always
       struggle to enhance profits which generated from the
       conglomerates's high quality business and services, which needs
       to destroy the markets of small business and small services.
       Which it makes many of low class people suffer from bankruptcy
       and not got a good job. And unfair economic society always
       exist. And also, the capitalist nations usually attack both
       military and economically to the nation whom they want to prey,
       for the sake make a profit from gaining another natural
       resources from them unethically. So, capitalist nation, whether
       they can exist longer, they not deserve to live, they live from
       evilness and evil natural law. Rather than socialist nations
       which always fall during it's duty to saving people from debt
       and complex competition living on several years after gain
       power. They deserve to be revive again and again. That is my
       answer. What about your answer?
       Ottoman Islamic Caliphate deserves to be revived
       Sukarnoist Nusantara deserves to be revived
       National Socialism deserves to be revived

       "stagnant economy"
       A stagnant economy is not a bad thing. It certainly makes more
       sense than a constantly growing economy as capitalism expects.
       "Stagnant" is a loaded term intended to convey a negative
       impression; we should simply call it a static economy. This
       means total productivity is fixed, which is normal in an
       agrarian economy, since productivity is limited by the total
       quantity of farmland (irrespective of how many workers are
       working on it). This is what we should stick to on principle
       even in an industrial economy. Once everyone is adequately
       supplied with basic products, do not try to create new jobs by
       producing extra products! Instead, if there are unemployed
       people, simply split an existing shift into multiple shorter
       shifts, so that they can be staffed by more people (but working
       fewer hours each). Capitalism will never use this approach
       because there is no profit incentive for it, but in socialism it
       is common sense because it divides labour more evenly.

       I am always reminded of this quote when I hear Western puppets
       on the internet talk about economic growth. The concept of GDP
       (Gross Domestic Product) in itself is a prime example of this
       madness fools love to parrot without ever really thinking about
       it, usually while wearing Western suits of course. The disease
       cancer actually behaves similarly if you really think about
       it...

       If you criticize the capitalist, usually to the people with
       businessman background who like more profit everyday. They will
       consider you as "toxic people with negative thinking and a
       losers". That is their answer, no logical and knowledge, only
       sarcasm. That is the problem. They don't want to realize and
       confess your ironclad truth

       IK this topic (like Re: Dress Decolonization topic from
       Questions and Debates board) was also started by kameradbaren
       (now guest30) to debate with 90sRF, but I thought my question in
       this topic would also also be faith to etymology as the question
       I had on the other topic I asked.
       In faith to the capitalism and business topic here, here's my
       question:
       Was business and marketing from the Counterculture-era (since
       the 1980s) more agriculture based and settled compared to the
       2001-present?
       I understand the purpose of agriculture was not to attract more
       people but to make labor easier, but comparing a method of
       finding a settled area where individuals would go back
       (Neolithic method) with a method of hunting for
       individuals/groups to try to influence them to go to the area
       (non-Neolithic method), would you prefer the Neolithic method to
       the non-Neolithic? Also, do names for those methods already
       exist? Because I would like to know.

       We need both the area and the individuals, so it doesn't make
       sense to choose between them. Also, what you are talking about
       has nothing to do with Neolithic/non-Neolithic.

       I just thought it would suit the agricultural worldview, due to
       how a more settled area (like a farm) is more consistent than
       targeting every individual to come.
       And about the graph, It says there were more imported goods and
       services in post-Counterculture era, which had less to do with
       serving the local folk and more to do with throwing its goods
       and services to people who don't settle in that area.
       I believe businesses grew during post-Counterculture era due to
       practices like targeting, which tribally chooses an in-group,
       even if it meant excluding the out-group. There's also more
       streaming. Back then there were Yellow Pages, Print Ads, TV
       Commercials, etc. where they didn't need each customer's
       accounts or identities to favor their interests. People didn't
       need to know what exactly an individual was into in order to get
       to know them.
       There has also been a marketing practice since Counterculture
       era (which is more art related) called:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_gig
       Which suits the idea of settling in an area to promote a good or
       service. Though it's unexpected and temporary, then again:
       "We need both the area and the individuals"
       With Guerrilla gigs, you didn't need to sustainably occupy the
       area. Street performers also don't occupy the area they perform
       at.
       "what you are talking about has nothing to do with
       Neolithic/non-Neolithic."
       Sure the methods might've not been from the Neolithic, but
       settling in an area to serve its people fairly (like farms do
       when serving its folk) is better than going up to a target
       audience and favoring certain people (like hunters do searching
       for food).
       What kind of business methods do you think were practiced during
       Counterculture era and what kinds were practiced during
       post-Counterculture era?

       Economic Explanations
       By: antihellenistic Date: October 9, 2024, 8:44 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Free market means free to buy, sell, and produce. therefore the
       money will tend to circulate toward the people whose products
       are popular with the consumer, not to all producers, even though
       the other producers also have good and safe products/services.
       Such phenomena result in economic inequity, unhealthy social
       living because of competition to attract consumers and thwart
       other producers, and distrust between the failed people and the
       people who succeed in economic struggle.
       Such things will affect our living behavior too, we tend to
       easily get triggered when other people achieve things more than
       we got. In the competition, people tend to not share with others
       because they do not want others to gain power from stuff they
       already share, if it happens, they will easily get outcompeted.
       They will do whatever makes them win, including damaging other
       people's reputations and abilities, it can be done through
       bullying, harassing, and spreading fake news about people whom
       we want to lose
       Western economic way of life (market mechanism and capitalism)
       is inferior
