Socialists label themselves compassionate, but where’s the compassion for taxpayers, small business owners, producers, savers, the young crushed by debt and restricted opportunity, or workers punished for succeeding? Their “compassion” usually ends the moment someone disagrees with being sacrificed to fund it.

@DemzDeliver It’s hard to find anything more expensive than a “free” government program because the costs don’t disappear. They get hidden through taxation, debt, inflation, bureaucracy, shortages, lower quality, and dependency spread across millions of people.

Capitalism is investing your own resources, taking your own risks, and creating more wealth through voluntary exchange. Socialism is increasingly treating other people’s productivity as a public utility to be redistributed until the incentives that created the wealth begin collapsing in the first place.

It’s usually not even “the wealthy paying.” The burden gets diffused through higher prices, reduced investment, lower growth, capital flight, inflation, shrinking opportunities, and taxes on the broader productive population. And “fair share” is one of the most elastic political phrases ever invented because it never seems to have a limit.

@RockChartrand You're ignoring a crucial part: when wages tend to go down even lower than subsistence levels. Of course there is a supply of all those things, the problem is that they tend to get more expensive while wages diminish; there is the contradiction.

@bartok_mlm So gaining a benefit isnt an incentive but being sacrificed to others for producing is?

@RockChartrand Capitalist societies are more technologically advanced than previous societies because that's how history works: we build on what was there before. That doesn't mean that new innovations could come easier if only they were profitable.

@RockChartrand The issue here is not if co-ops should compete. The issue is that co-ops are proof that labor alone can do what labor+capital does; labor is essential while capital is superfluous.

@Rkstrn @ruthapur23535 @frogedev @RockChartrand Son, your entire little spiel was making shit yup and pretending I think it. Do you actually not notice that this is what you’re doing or that you’re doing it in order to not have to respond to my actual point?

Worker co ops are fully compatible with capitalism. If they’re more efficient, they’re free to outcompete traditional firms. The fact they remain relatively niche despite being legal is itself revealing. And the idea that capitalism “kills innovation” ignores that the wealthiest, most technologically advanced, highest wage, and most innovative societies in history emerged from market driven systems, not centrally planned ones. Workers also absolutely buy the things they produce. The average worker today has access to technology, medicine, food, transport, entertainment, and comforts that kings couldn’t dream of centuries ago. Capitalism’s “contradiction” is apparently producing too much abundance while being blamed for every remaining scarcity.

@RockChartrand Workers did built everything, there's no denying that. What you argue is that workers were helped by Capital in building those things. To which I say: capital actually restricts who can produce, what gets produced and who gets to use the produced wealth.

@RockChartrand Capital also kills innovation when it hurts profits, lowers wages and so workers can't buy the things they produce. Capitalism is an internally contradictory system.

That’s like saying a brain “doesn’t create” because hands physically build things. Workers are essential, but labor alone doesn’t explain why some societies produce abundance while others produce scarcity. Capital formation, investment, coordination, entrepreneurship, risk, logistics, pricing, and incentives matter too. If “workers built everything” were sufficient by itself, communist economies would have outproduced capitalist ones. They didn’t.

@RockChartrand Also: shipyard workers constructed the yachts, construction workers created the homes. Capitalism doesn't "create" anything because it has no hands; Capital just decides who gets to keep the profits.

The uncomfortable reality is that for many workers the transition wouldn’t be from $7 an hour to $15 an hour. It would be from $7 an hour to unemployed. A wage law cannot magically double someone’s productivity or the value their labor creates. If a position only generates enough value to justify a lower wage, many employers respond by: • Cutting jobs • Reducing hours • Automating tasks • Refusing to hire inexperienced workers • Increasing workloads on remaining employees So the workers who keep their jobs often end up doing the work of the eliminated positions while entry level workers lose the opportunity entirely. Paying market wages is not disrespect. The disrespectful position is pretending politicians can override supply, demand, productivity, and business reality without consequences for the very people they claim to help.

MUST WATCH Bill C-22 could force companies to enable remote microphones, even if their devices are advertised as privacy-protected. Secret government orders could require this, creating a conflict where companies cannot inform consumers.
