  • Because the other option is to starve to death.

    That’s pessimistic… Food can be grown…

    theft includes the net profits that are not shared with the workers

    How businesses would innovate without accumulating capital? What happens if they suffer a loss? What would they pay their workers?

    IMO it’s not theft, it’s just a price you’re paying for someone else to deal with risc possible losses while providing you stable income.

    Not talking about reserch, marketing and realization of goods/services, that someone without capital can’t do on their own.


  • By that logic, thieves are virtuous and valued by society.

    Thieves are forced to return what they stole, they don’t (usually) accumulate capital

    In reality, the wealthy are creating value for themselves and their peers

    Could you please provide an example? Even something like Apple products (luxuries) are used by people that can’t be called rich. So it’s hard for me to understand how wealthy could create their separate economy


  • First of all lobbying and any other intrusion into fair competition is incompatible with free market.

    As for the “rich” — without government enforced monopolies, their wealth is a representation of how much value they provide to society. Which roughly translates into their support by society. A bit like representative democracy, but more decentralized.



  • They don’t want to admit it but they are just a few steps away from anarchy.

    Pretty much everyone admits it. Minarchist (pro minimal govt) flag is literally ancap with black changed to blue.

    Soo the, we got problems to big for one person alone to solve. If we let every fucker do whatever he wants we going down fast. We need inteligente population orientated to something good, organizerd trough democracy.

    Free Market is essentially a “continuous democratic process”. If what somebody does benefit people, he gets incentivised with profits. If people see no value in what he’s doing – he gets losses. And if in the process of " doing whatever he wants" he does any harm to others ge gets sued.

    And all of this happens constantly instead of once in a couple of years, without almost any accountability from those who’re in power as it works in republic.


  • I don’t understand how Americans practice Christianity that it traumatizes people? I remember hearing from someone else how religion had traumatized him from childhood. Which is strange to hear for me since I’ve been introduced to Christianity as a child, but don’t care much about religion or “hell” nowadays…
