@LaithOfIraq @demise_x10 @philosophymeme0 No, it does not have metaphysical value. It has objective value in the eyes of the specific people who want/value it. My values and your values are not the same and never will be. This is fundamentally why socialism does not work.

@psivstar @demise_x10 @philosophymeme0 A hammer is used to hammer things, and is sold consistently to people who need to hammer things. That hammer has an intrinsic value as long as there are people who need to hammer things (which is always).

@burrito69420 @SwampCommunist Capitalism is absolutely possible and it has existed in a handful of historical cases (Acadia, Cospaia, medieval Iceland).

@psivstar @SwampCommunist Because “true” capitalism doesn’t exist, it is an impossibility

Science experiment where you test the growth of plants in two types of soil but deprive one side of sunlight and water

@psivstar @elliotismz Are there any essays or sources in particular you enjoy that you would recommend

@WilliamJosephh @elliotismz The actual best way to make healthcare accessible to as many people as possible is to completely de-regulate and fully privatize the industry.

@elliotismz Regardless, healthcare should be as accessible to as many people as possible regardless of the semantics of rights Rights aren’t real anyways. Doesnt mean we should work towards dignifying the human condition and making sure nobody is left behind for reasons beyond their control

@burrito69420 @SwampCommunist America is not a capitalist country

@psivstar @SwampCommunist Why does capitalist countries like America absolutely need China to trade with them? Like, why does Trump have to go to a trade war just to try to force them to buy things from America?

@ThomasMann51451 @Handre Taxes are actively derailing and causing conflict within civilization.

@Handre Taxes are the price we pay to civilization

The correct amount of rates and taxes on any private property is: Zero.

@TheQuartering Don't worry, no one ever thought you were a libertarian to begin with.

I thought for a little while that I was a libertarian. I've never been more politically homeless in my life.

Healthcare is a basic right. Not a privilege. Not a luxury. This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

@usetuball @SwampCommunist Creating and repairing buildings isnt a difficult thing for capitalist societies to do. The American settlers started out with completely undeveloped land. Why is it only commie nations that have this issue?

@psivstar @SwampCommunist Because 80% of all buildings in the north were completely levelled and 20% of the civilian population killed in just 4 years with hardly any help to rebuild and recover afterwards.

@demise_x10 @philosophymeme0 Value is not intrinsic (metaphysical). A JPEG can have value to me specifically based on what it can do for me in a given situation. A JPEG can also have monetary value, and therefore be a form of capital.

@psivstar @philosophymeme0 there is a thing use value. a registered JPEG has no use value outside its ritual.

@demise_x10 @philosophymeme0 There is no such thing as intrinsic value

@psivstar @philosophymeme0 yes, there is. it's ritualistic wares with no intrinsic use value outside of the ritual.

@InkRanger @philosophymeme0 No. The ideal currency is a perfected form of crypto where the cost of transaction is close to zero. Moving around large amounts of gold does not work at scale.

@psivstar @philosophymeme0 oh and all money not backed by gold

@eleojo_0 @philosophymeme0 That's an error of thinking there is capital there when there actually is no capital. It's not a separate category of "fictitious." Capital always has value by definition.

@psivstar @philosophymeme0 If your valuations are great than your revenue with no real basis or backing, that's fictitious capital.

@squatsons So you're saying socialism requires other nations being capitalist and doing trade with them in order to not collapse? If that's so, then how are goods produced in the first place? Clearly not under socialism.

Crazier idea, let’s sanction one nation and prevent them from operating alongside the global economy and check on them in 75 years. This is like making fun of Cubans for driving cars from the 60s

@RespectfulMemes Zoning laws should be abolished.

This but unironically

@terrifiedone @AlisDekay @RespectfulMemes Based

@AlisDekay @RespectfulMemes i love having chemical plants next to our schools and hospitals

@nico_nick_nico This is not fat

I love it when guys are a little fat like this
