if you are talking post puberty girls, fucking them was considered normal throughout history until 50 years, maybe 70 years ago and society was a lot better than it is now

Yea economic incentives in pure capitalism makes greed work for the betterment of society instead of relying on “goodness”

Benefit of themselves. People are decent when all is said and done because we all have emotions to exploit and social pressure to adhere to to maintain good standing with your buyers. Taxes are far more dangerous.

Exactly this, along with humans being a social animal. Harmonious self interest is the best method. The problem is fiat and taxes.

Socialism lack economic calculous. First was the State (tribes) then the market was spontaneously developed as society became complex. With economic calculous (i.e.prices) any society with more than 100 people would collapse. State interventionism and structure's capital distortion are directly correlated. Capitalism is the system where smart people thrive and stupid people perish. State interventionism is the tool of the stupid to keep being relevant and have a chance at reproduction.

Liberalism in a nutshell.

Egoism is the foundation of capitalism and nothing wrong with it. Keynes was a moron. Neo-Keynesism is worse scam than jewish usury.

Yep. Traveling salesman problem

fpbp. Few understand kek

Decentralization of power, in a true capitalist society even the richest man can't do anything about the consent of his fellow man. If a boss fucks over his employees, they can go to another boss who offer better conditions. If no boss offers good conditions, then it's easy to create a business because you only have to create decent work conditions to have good employees working for you.

At the over side, the statist solution is centralisation of power. You give one entity all the money, and also the power to use force without restriction, and on top on that the people at the top of the entity don't even have incentives to do a good job because they don't reap any benefits from being good at their job.
If the government is unjust the people are out of luck, they can go to another country but it's much harder than to just find another job.

So that's why capitalism is superior, because it's alternative, centralisation of power, is worse.

State intervention is to keep "Smart" people(People who use dishonest business practices, and sociopath tendencies to rise in the financial world) in check from exploiting and harming normal people. Slumlords, people allowing animal feces to get in food supply, selling spoiled meats, selling poorly maintained homes for exorbitant rates. The state also can(Isn't now, but could) be used to force capitalists to keep industry in America and to not import cheap serf labor from the 3rd world. I agree with many aspects of capitalism, but I believe a state should be used a vehicle for securing a peoples comfortable existence and giving them standards. Otherwise, there are people who would actually want to live in skyscrapers lording over 3rd world style favelas. You can have a fair and free economic market, you just can't let rich people have influence over politics or use their wealth to harm the standards of a society.

>will somehow work for the benefit of us all

Nobody ever said that retard

better try communism again, i'm sure it will work this time.

state of biz pretending to be highbrow instead of just buying dexg and becoming rich.

Uh uh, not letting that Milton Friedman stuff slide. You simply cannot just "create your own business". Capital has to come from somewhere, and most normal people do not have the wherewithall or the intuition to pull something like that off.

Holy shit you're naive. Government eventually turns to keeping the sheep happy for the fleecing. It's human nature and always will be. Remember, the truly bad people will use that power to keep out anybody not part of the club. Because they're psychopaths.

The only reason there's any "goodness" in some societies is laws and their enforcement. Capitalism has nothing to do with it.

Unregulated capitalism just does the same. That's why you need a mixed system. I have no qualms with charging an excessive tax or asset seizure for someone trying to take a business out of America, or for someone using their capital to attempt to influence politics in a negative way having their assets seized.

i'm sorry mods if i'm going into Zig Forumsish territory. it's hard to not reference politics when it comes to market systems like capitalism. not trying to get a ban, and I won't use racial slurs. pls no ban

>Capitalism is the system where smart people thrive and stupid people perish
Define "smart." Theres a fuck ton of people that don't have skills that build, produce, create, or fix anything yet they are making a lot of money.

It doesn't matter that most normal people can't create a business (they actually can if they keep the scale small at first but whatever), what matter is that the businessmen needs employees, they compete between themselves to have quality employees and because of that can't fuck over their employees in the way a government can fuck over it's citizens.
The only mean for them to have enough power to fuck over their employees and customers is if they don't have competition, or potential competition.
Which is why some level of governement intervention to prevent cartels and monopolies are ok, but today lack of competitions mostly comes from the artificial difficulty there is to create a company, and the artificial glass celling that shows itself when you want to scale your small business into a big business.

Nice NAP id btw

>Capitalism is the system where smart people thrive and stupid people perish.

16 year old's naive view of the world. In reality capitalism is about being the best salesman. As long as you can sell the product or service the money is being made, the rest is practically irrelevant.

It's the general tendency, smart people don't always make more money, butt they tend to

Try doing that with an iq of 55

The thing is they now have to compete with a labor force of people who are used to brutal conditions and won't argue for higher wages. It's unfair and uncivilized, in days long gone they rightly called it "scab labor". Not to mention, there's a severe decline in basic mom and pop shops and individual own businesses. Everything is becoming more and more corporatized, especially with cov-19 lockdowns basically ruining multiple community diners/bars. You also have regulations that should be meant souly for large businesses being applied to small/medium tier businesses.

Good posts. The decentralization is a big advantage.

Yeah this is bullshit and screws a lot of people over. The Covid-19 response is completely fucking over small businesses too, when they were already hurting.

Good point. the government should deregulate and remove the Covid sanctions on small businesses

I don't disagree with most of that but that's mostly coming from government regulation, by regulating all business under the pretext of protecting the low classes from big business you actually make running a business so complex that only big corporations can do it.

That's because they're gaming the system, just many rich people. Easy to make money when you have no morals.
