       [quote][quote]"Those who determine whether a product is fit for
       consumption and affordable are the people who possess expertise
       in understanding society and the state, especially its
       leadership."[/quote]
       What if the competitive people (whom you worry about having too
       much power) get into these positions and then falsely claim that
       the products produced by their rivals are unfit for
       consumption?[/quote]
       A competitive person will inevitably be evident from the various
       opinions they express. They will certainly desire complex and
       less accessible forms of production. And if they do not wish to
       appear as wanting such things, it will still be noticeable
       through the various actions they take—from the moment they begin
       engaging in activities to when they attempt to enter an
       organization or community. Therefore, strict handling and
       selection of prospective members within the party and leadership
       is the only solution
       [quote][quote]"It is not the consumers who make this judgment,
       for they tend to choose what provides the greatest satisfaction
       rather than what is most affordable and socially
       necessary"[/quote]
       Then why does making a product more affordable consistently
       increase its market share relative to similar products of
       different brands?[/quote]
       Products that sell in the marketplace under competitive market
       laws tend to be made through complicated processes and require
       machines for production efficiency and quality improvement. And
       if they do not use expensive machines, they usually rely on the
       exploitation of labor by employing workers for more than 8 hours
       per day. They are also given work demands that always prioritize
       increasing production quality without considering the limits of
       workers’ diverse capacities. Yet these demands for higher
       production quality exist only to win competition in order to
       gain approval from consumers who constantly desire more
       satisfying products. In reality, the previous products were
       still perfectly suitable for consumption, even if they were not
       highly satisfying to consumers, and the production process could
       have been carried out with demands that were manageable for
       workers of varying abilities—from those with minimal skills to
       those with expert-level skills
       The right way to address attitudes that prioritize efficiency
       and material quality over workers’ well-being is to plan every
       work activity and regulate the consumption patterns of
       consumers, so that they develop the discipline to engage in
       forms of consumption that ensure affordability for the workers
       who produce those goods. They should also become accustomed to
       consuming affordable products rather than expensive ones made
       through labor processes that exclude the diverse range of
       existing work abilities.
       The cause of physical, psychological, and social oppression
       toward vulnerable groups—those who are weak yet sensitive and
       non-destructive—lies in the enforcement of competitive living by
       leaders of a state or community. As a result, groups with high
       cognitive ability, who always appear to have positive value, end
       up dominating the nation’s finances, impoverishing and degrading
       those who lose in competition. Yet those who lose in competition
       are not always destructive or aggressive, and they still deserve
       positive regard and support within the community.
       In fact, historically, it is the groups that accumulate capital
       and dominate markets that tend to cause major harm—such as
       creating structural poverty, which brings hardship to large
       segments of society.

       "what Hitler wanted and envisioned in the years after 1940"

       [quote]Operation Barbarossa[g] was the invasion of the Soviet
       Union by Nazi Germany
       ...
       The operation, code-named after the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick
       Barbarossa ("red beard"), put into action Nazi Germany's
       ideological goals of eradicating communism
       ...
       Before and during the invasion of the Soviet Union, German
       troops were indoctrinated with anti-Bolshevik, anti-Semitic and
       anti-Slavic ideology via movies, radio, lectures, books, and
       leaflets.[46]
       ...
       both Jews and communists were considered equivalent enemies of
       the Nazi state.
       ...
       Hitler told one of his generals in June 1940 that the victories
       in Western Europe finally freed his hands for a "final showdown"
       with Bolshevism.[81]
       ...
       Hitler, solely focused on his ultimate ideological goal of
       eliminating the Soviet Union and Communism, disagreed with
       economists about the risks and told his right-hand man Hermann
       Göring, the chief of the Luftwaffe, that he would no longer
       listen to misgivings about the economic dangers of a war with
       the USSR.[93]
       ...
       The Hunger Plan outlined how entire urban populations of
       conquered territories were to be starved to death,[k] thus
       creating an agricultural surplus to feed Germany and urban space
       for the German upper class.[97][/quote]

       Cruel violence against first-time perpetrators (e.g., the upper
       classes, such as the bourgeoisie, landlords, the middle class,
       and conservatives) is justified, considering that they
       perpetrate systemic and structural violence against innocent
       people. Moreover, most of the victims are poor, less fortunate,
       and have sensitive personalities, even though these people do
       not commit major damage and violence for the first time like the
       upper class people I mentioned earlier.
       [quote]On 28 June 1930 Hitler wrote in the Illustrierte
       Beobachter that the bourgeois parties and their men ‘were
       capable of any nastiness’, that everything ‘the bourgeois
       parties put their hands on’ goes under. ‘Were Bolshevism not out
       to destroy the best racial élite, but only to clean out the
       bourgeois party vermin, one would almost be tempted to bless
       it.’ [1] [Page 228]
       ...
       Many a bourgeois who condemns the worker’s striving for an
       improvement in his economic situation with an outrage that is as
       unwise as it is unjust would possibly suddenly think completely
       differently if for only three weeks he would have had laid on
       his shoulders the burden of the work demanded of the others.
       Even today there are still countless bourgeois elements who most
       indignantly reject a demand for a wage of ten marks a month, and
       especially any sharp support of this, as a ‘Marxist crime’, but
       display complete incomprehension when faced with a demand to
       also limit the excessive profits of certain individuals. - Adolf
       Hitler, 1 November 1930 [2][3][Page 206]
       On 24 February 1940 Hitler declared that the
       bourgeois-capitalist world had already collapsed, its age
       already long outdated: This collapse must take place everywhere
       in some form or other and it will not fail to materialize
       anywhere.’ [6] The German nation could not, said Hitler, ‘live
       with the bourgeois social order at all’. [4] In a conversation
       with the Hungarian ‘Leader of the Nation’ Szálasi, Hitler
       declared on 4 December 1944 that the ‘bourgeois European world’
       would break down ever further and all that was left was the
       alternative ‘that either a sensible social order were created on
       a national level, or that Bolshevism would take over’. [5] [Page

       NAZI MILITARY DEFEAT BRINGS 'TOTAL WAR' HOME
       German Upper and Middle Classes Fear Hitler Might Try to Destroy
       Them
       By GEORGE AXELSSON By Telephone to The New York Times.
       The Junkers, the bourgeoisie and the small businessmen now think
       that Hitler intends to sacrifice them on the altar of a 'total
       war effort,' in the Soviet style. They fear that this operation
       will open the horizon of a permanent dictatorship of the
       proletariat, also on the Stalinist model, in which these classes
       will disappear without any visible chance of revival… That
       Hitler might also want to save his war by transforming the
       National Socialist State into a National Communist State at the
       expense of the middle and upper classes seems to be the chief
       worry in Berlin today.[/quote]

       [quote]Contrary to his public propaganda statements, in a table
       talk in early January 1942, Hitler said that “Stalin is regarded
       as a man who intends to lead the Bolshevik idea to victory. In
       reality, he is nothing but the embodiment of Russia, the
       continuation of Tsarist Pan-Slavism! For Stalin, Bolshevism is
       merely a tool to achieve his aims. It serves as a disguise
       before the Germanic and Roman peoples.” [1]
       In another conversation, Hitler said that one must admire Stalin
       because “he does not allow ‘the Jew’ to enter the world of art.”
       [2] On 24 July 1942, in a table talk, he claimed that “in
       Ribbentrop’s presence, Stalin did not hide the fact that he was
       merely waiting for the moment when sufficient intellectual
       maturity had developed in the USSR in order to put an end to the
       Jews whom he still needed as a leadership stratum today.”

       [quote]For me, the most difficult decision in this war was the
       order to attack Russia. I have always believed that Germany must
       never fight on two fronts, and no one should doubt that I
       studied and reflected upon Napoleon’s experience in Russia more
       than anyone else. So, why was there a war against Russia? Why
       did I choose that path at the time?
       There was no longer any hope for us to end the war in the West
       by attacking the British Isles. That country—led by fools—would
       refuse to recognize our leadership and reject an honest peace
       agreement as long as the powers within Europe that were
       essentially hostile to the Reich remained undefeated. The war
       would have to continue indefinitely; a war in which America was
       becoming increasingly involved behind the scenes. The human and
       material potential of the United States, its constant growth in
       military technology and new weapons—both on the enemy’s side and
       on ours—and the threatening proximity of the English coast—all
       of this forced us to try to prevent a prolonged war by every
       possible means. Time—always time!—would inevitably work against
       us at an ever-increasing pace.
       The only way to force Britain to make peace was to destroy the
       Red Army and thereby eliminate their hope of opposing us on the
       continent with an equal adversary. We had no choice but to
       remove the Russian factor from the balance of power in Europe.
       There was a second reason of equal weight, which on its own
       would have been sufficient to justify this action: the latent
       danger posed by the existence of Bolshevism. An attack from that
       direction was certain to occur one day.
       Our only chance to win a victory over Russia lay in anticipating
       their assault; for a defensive war against the Soviet Union was
       impossible for us. Under no circumstances could we allow the Red
       Army to enjoy the advantage of our terrain—our open ground
       suited for tank warfare, our highways ideal for the movement of
       their armored units, and our railways suitable for transporting
       their troops and materials. We could defeat the Bolsheviks in
       their forests, swamps, and open steppes if we acted in time—but
       we could never defeat them on terrain favorable to traffic and
       maneuver, such as our own lands. To wait for their attack would
       have meant opening the road for the enemy to march into Europe.

       Stop changing the subject. I just proved that your claim that
       Lenin was the first anti-racist in history is an obvious
       lie.[/quote]
       To overcome racism, each social group must be prevented from
       defeating one another in production, consumption, and social
       interaction. Obligating different groups to help each other and
       behave ethically in social interactions will not be maximally
       effective if community leaders do not socialize and reorganize
       production activities and inter-group social relations. If
       society continues to operate through competition under market
       laws, there will inevitably be attitudes of domination and
       belittlement directed at weaker groups—even when those weaker
       groups behave ethically and obey the rules. These weaker yet
       ethical and law-abiding groups do not deserve to be left behind
       or judged as inferior.
       Moreover, when market mechanisms govern society, the strong,
       manipulative, and aggressive groups tend to gain advantages and
       ease in economic activities and social interaction. Naturally,
       people who tend to come from white racial groups, Asian racial
       groups, Jewish communities, or those who succeed according to
       Western cultural criteria become dominant, as they exhibit
       aggressive tendencies in economic and social activities within a
       community.
       Therefore, enforcing authority through organized political
       structures such as those led by Hitler and Stalin is presented
       as a way to counter unethical conditions produced by a society
       operating under market laws. With centralized leadership over
       social life, groups that are sensitive, ethical, and oriented
       toward mutual aid can be protected from groups that are
       aggressive, highly intelligent, manipulative, and
       psychopathic—those who easily become oppressive and gain power
       when a community functions according to market laws and free,
       voluntary social interaction. That is why I consider Lenin to be
       the first person who truly and correctly fought against racism

       "A competitive person will inevitably be evident from the
       various opinions they express."
       Competitive people are adept at hiding their competitiveness if
       they need to do so to get where they want.
       "And if they do not wish to appear as wanting such things, it
       will still be noticeable through the various actions they
       take—from the moment they begin engaging in activities to when
       they attempt to enter an organization or community."
       I have no doubt that an overconfident moron like you can be
       easily fooled by even a semi-competent infiltrator.
       "Products that sell in the marketplace under competitive market
       laws tend to be made through complicated processes and require
       machines for production efficiency and quality improvement. And
       if they do not use expensive machines, they usually rely on the
       exploitation of labor by employing workers for more than 8 hours
       per day. They are also given work demands that always prioritize
       increasing production quality without considering the limits of
       workers’ diverse capacities. Yet these demands for higher
       production quality exist only to win competition in order to
       gain approval from consumers who constantly desire more
       satisfying products. In reality, the previous products were
       still perfectly suitable for consumption, even if they were not
       highly satisfying to consumers, and the production process could
       have been carried out with demands that were manageable for
       workers of varying abilities—from those with minimal skills to
       those with expert-level skills
       The right way to address attitudes that prioritize efficiency
       and material quality over workers’ well-being is to plan every
       work activity and regulate the consumption patterns of
       consumers, so that they develop the discipline to engage in
       forms of consumption that ensure affordability for the workers
       who produce those goods. They should also become accustomed to
       consuming affordable products rather than expensive ones made
       through labor processes that exclude the diverse range of
       existing work abilities.
       The cause of physical, psychological, and social oppression
       toward vulnerable groups—those who are weak yet sensitive and
       non-destructive—lies in the enforcement of competitive living by
       leaders of a state or community. As a result, groups with high
       cognitive ability, who always appear to have positive value, end
       up dominating the nation’s finances, impoverishing and degrading
       those who lose in competition. Yet those who lose in competition
       are not always destructive or aggressive, and they still deserve
       positive regard and support within the community.
       In fact, historically, it is the groups that accumulate capital
       and dominate markets that tend to cause major harm—such as
       creating structural poverty, which brings hardship to large
       segments of society."
       You haven't answered my question. You are just talking to
       yourself. Here is my question again:
       [quote][quote]"It is not the consumers who make this judgment,
       for they tend to choose what provides the greatest satisfaction
       rather than what is most affordable and socially
       necessary"[/quote]
       Then why does making a product more affordable consistently
       increase its market share relative to similar products of
       different brands?[/quote]
       "Cruel violence against first-time perpetrators (e.g., the upper
       classes, such as the bourgeoisie, landlords, the middle class,
       and conservatives) is justified, considering that they
       perpetrate systemic and structural violence against innocent
       people. Moreover, most of the victims are poor, less fortunate,
       and have sensitive personalities, even though these people do
       not commit major damage and violence for the first time like the
       upper class people I mentioned earlier."
       You are still talking to yourself. Explain why Hitler planned to
       give additional land to the upper class:
       [quote]The Hunger Plan outlined how entire urban populations of
       conquered territories were to be starved to death,[k] thus
       creating an agricultural surplus to feed Germany and urban space
       for the German upper class.[97][/quote]
       if he was as anti-upper-class as you pretend he is?
       "To overcome racism, each social group must be prevented from
       defeating one another in production, consumption, and social
       interaction."
       This has nothing to do with racism.
       "The social and economic problems of society caused by market
       forces must be resolved first before discussing issues of

       properly addressed social and economic problems first—rather

       You are changing the subject again because you don't want to
       acknowledge my example of the Counterculture having a positive
       impact.

       Well, the solution to prevent competitively oriented groups from
       operating in secrecy is to ensure that they remain clearly
       visible within the state. Therefore, the establishment of
       designated, specialized spaces for them is the appropriate means
       to achieve this.
       [quote]Then why does making a product more affordable
       consistently increase its market share relative to similar
       products of different brands?[/quote]
       Affordable products tend to increase market share within a
       system governed by market laws, because they can be consumed by
       low-income populations, who typically constitute the majority in
       countries around the world today. However, consumption practices
       within a market-based framework tend to disregard the welfare
       and basic needs of workers at production sites. Affordable
       products generated under market conditions usually exist because
       of excessive quantitative production, allowing those production
       units that achieve such scale to sell at lower prices, compete
       for market share, and ultimately defeat other producers who are
       less efficient in terms of productivity. However, such gains in
       market share are achieved by exploiting workers through daily
       overtime and by driving other production sites into
       bankruptcy—even when those bankrupt producers were still
       offering goods that were usable by the consumers. Therefore,
       state control over labor and consumption is necessary to ensure
       affordability without forcing different parties to sacrifice one
       another.

       Affordable products produced under market-based conditions tend
       to generate the exploitation of labor, while also encouraging
       capital accumulation and the destruction of economic stability
       among fellow citizens. Those groups of citizens who lose out in
       competition come to feel excluded from the nation and fall into
       poverty. Meanwhile, groups that succeed in work and efficiently
       dominate business markets secure their livelihoods by oppressing
       those they impoverish and weaken. Yet those who are impoverished
       and weakened do not deserve such conditions. Not all of them are
       aggressive, insensitive, or destructive toward the state.
       Remember :
       Affordable products generated under market conditions usually
       exist because of excessive quantitative production, allowing
       those production units that achieve such scale to sell at lower
       prices, compete for market share, and ultimately defeat other
       producers who are less efficient in terms of productivity.
       However, such gains in market share are achieved by exploiting
       workers through daily overtime and by driving other production
       sites into bankruptcy—even when those bankrupt producers were
       still offering goods that were usable by the consumers.
       Therefore, state control over labor and consumption is necessary
       to ensure affordability without forcing different parties to
       sacrifice one another.
       [quote]Many members of the bourgeoisie condemn the workers’
       struggle to improve their economic conditions with an anger that
       is as irrational as it is unjust. They might think very
       differently if, for even three weeks, they had to carry the
       burden of labor borne by others. Even today, there are still
       many bourgeois elements who angrily reject the demand for an
       additional ten marks per month in wages—especially when such a
       demand is firmly asserted—as a ‘Marxist crime.’ Yet they display

       the excessive profits of certain individuals should also be

       [quote]According to the logic of the free market and the
       so-called natural law of competition, Hitler argued that in many
       cases one cannot expect individuals to act in the interest of
       the common good. For example,
       one cannot expect a person who happens to produce nitrogen to
       say, “I think it would be wiser now to sell it at a price 20
       percent lower.” No—we cannot demand that of him. Such an action
       can only be recognized as necessary from a higher standpoint,
       and then one must say, “This must be done.” But we cannot expect
       the individual himself to make such a decision.
       Or, for instance, if I demand that another person agree that we
       in Germany should produce our own fuel, while that person earns
       his livelihood from fuel trading—well, one cannot expect him to
       say, “I think it is a splendid idea that you will produce your
       own fuel.”
       The same applies to international rubber buyers or rubber
       merchants who are then asked to decide whether Germany should
       build Buna synthetic rubber plants. He will certainly say, “I
       think that is madness—completely impossible.”
       In all such cases, there is a clear contradiction between
       capitalist private interests and the general political interests
       defined by the state. According to Hitler’s view, the state
       always has both the right and the duty to enforce the general
       political interest over capitalist private interests.[/quote]

       because white people were accustomed to competing with each
       other which led to an attitude of viewing other races as
       competitors.

       Free labor so "whites" didn't have to work had nothing to do
       with it? Not much competition going on if no one that is counted
       as a citizen has to work in a given society, no?

       Would a wealth cap not restrict excessive profits ending up in
       the hands of certain individuals? Have we not advocated for this
       here?
       I'm failing to see your actual point here I think?

       Stop changing the subject. Just admit you were lying when you

       The white race won competition in that era by preventing those
       they defeated from gaining the power to resist. Slavery was one
       of the methods used to achieve this. Persistently preventing a
       group or an individual from rising up is itself a form of
       competition

       What must be addressed is not only excessive wealth, but also
       working hours and the degree to which labor capacity is imposed
       upon workers, so that they are freed from exploitation.
       Capitalists and landowners must also be subjected to severe
       penalties for their depraved conduct in exploiting workers and
       imposing excessive work schedules.
       [quote]“A Berlin court fined the daughter of a factory owner
       because she had ‘maliciously injured the sense of honor’ of the
       ‘followers’ at her father’s factory. (Note the use of the word
       ‘followers’ instead of ‘workers.’) The girl had referred to them
       as ‘dirty workers.’ A wholesale newspaper dealer in Berlin lost
       control of his business; it appears that he had repeatedly paid
       wages and salaries below the officially fixed rates, had grossly
       insulted his workers and employees, and had forced minors to
       work fifty-nine hours a week without overtime pay.
       From my own experience, I encountered cases consistent with this
       process of leveling—such as the case of a small factory owner
       who told me how he had been required to attend a Schulungslager
       (social education camp), where his roommate was one of his own
       ‘followers.’”**

       Statements made by Hitler between 1935 and 1945, particularly
       from the early 1940s onward, indicate that he had become a harsh
       critic of the free-market economic system and an increasingly
       firm advocate of a state-controlled, centrally planned
       economy.[/quote]

       they tend to choose what provides the greatest satisfaction
       rather than what is most affordable[/quote]
       I am merely explaining that affordable products for consumers
       can put an end to exploitation only if they are accompanied by
       production work plans that are themselves humane, accessible,
       and free from compulsory overtime for workers. And the only way
       to achieve this is by abolishing the application of
       market-mechanism principles in the public sphere. I am not
       misrepresenting anything; I am presenting the argument in a more
       complete and systematic way. What should instead be questioned
       is how you can claim to be a socialist while so rarely
       addressing labor exploitation and the continued operation of
       market mechanisms. The application of market mechanisms will
       continue to generate labor exploitation even when production
       results in affordable goods. This is because consumer
       affordability under market conditions is achieved through
       competition and through work plans that tend toward
       overproduction, so that one enterprise can keep its products
       cheaper than those of other enterprises attempting to compete
