Envy and Resentment or Rational Economic Analysis? | The Anti-Capitalistic

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of Ludwig von Mises and his profound insights into the roots of anti-capitalistic sentiment. In this thought-provoking narrative, we explore whether the opposition to capitalism is driven by envy and resentment or rational economic analysis. Discover how von Mises defends capitalism’s achievements, debunks common misconceptions, and highlights the role of intellectuals and media in shaping public perception. Through historical and modern examples, we examine the moral and economic arguments for capitalism and confront challenging questions about its future. This deep dive not only informs but also invites you to engage in a critical dialogue about the systems that shape our world.

The questions i'm left asking are 1. How do you fix a corrupt government? 2. Does capitalism lead to more or lees corruption compared to other common economic systems?

[@arsenystarostin662]

USSR had more let's say consumer corruption like getting a better apartment assigned, papers done faster etc. Capital on the other hand corrupts on a bigger scale, like infrastructure.

This topic becomes a discussion that borders psychological hogwash because capitalism is not well defined. Once capitalism is well defined, the discussion then becomes logocentric idiocy, because it is still not at the center of the real problem. Capitalism, defined in a strict and technical way will treat every individual as an economic unit/node with the same attributes and capacity, the only unfairness that could be postulated is that people come from different backgrounds and as such they have different amounts of capital, thus different amounts of power from the get go. It is not the same to enter the capitalist playground holding 100M in assets than to come from a poor family. Still, this critique is retarded because if we held an experiment where everyone starts at the same point, with the same wealth, education, health, etc, their natural difference (intelligence, vigor, whatever) will shine through and put the best at the top and the worst at the bottom. Capitalism brushes aside this critique in a theoretical correct way by stating that in this final configuration, it is the people at the top and the people at the bottom that benefit all. It doesn't take into account human nature, by which most people would rather be kings in a backwards ass pig sty of a country than being serfs in a "capitalist paradise". With reason too! since the life of a ruler in a shithole country is a billion times better than the life of a mcdonalds worker in a "capitalist paradise", so they are correct to prefer being communist oligarch robber barons than work at Burger King. It is also in here that capitalists show the same religious cretinism than socialists/leftists in the pretention that with enough iterations of the capitalist game, the selected attribute (capitalist competence) will finally bubble to the top and only those who merit success will have it and everyone will be benefited in return. Indeed, in theory, when a capitalist wins everyone wins. However leftists will (correctly so) point out that strict capitalism is impossible because people will try to cheat it (most common example provided is unfair play, monopolies, lobbying, you get it). However, what are the "leftists" truly crying about? There is, obviously a dimension of "ressentiment", but it is retarded to think that the hierarchy that creates this ressentment is the capitalist hierarchy, capitalists sycophants here try to shine their capitalist idols (or pat their own backs) because if they show their ideas as good, it will reflect good on them, for holding these good ideas! They do this "shining of their idols" by pretending that it is only a deficiency in the capitalist game that moves the leftist/socialist to this embittered hate of it. This is the thought horizon of the imbeciles that have kidnapped the right wing in modern times. The true hierarchies are much more profound than you nerds can comprehend : the ugly, stupid, weak and cowardly hate any and all (and all those attributes, beauty, valor, etc, are hierarcheis too btw...) hierarchies because those at the top are *brilliant* and their brilliance shines and shows the ugliness, stupidity, weakness and cowardice of those at the bottom. Read Nietzsche without the lefty idiot goggles, recognize your own ressentment and throw it in the trash, period. Again, capitalism doesn't exist because human nature will never allow it, it is an autistic and simplistic reduction that requires the suspension of disbelief and immense imbecility to be entertained. So what should we do? Allow true hierarchies to shine again. Let the aristocracies of the past return, the bronze age warriors, heroes : clad in robes of esoteric green, wearing pelts and feathers most exotic, carrying AK47s and flying with jet packs, "mannerbunds" and kóryos, hoplite aristos will form the new phallanxes of the future and turn the decrepit feminized geriatric democratic men of our time into DUST. And with their HUGE CAWKS will dominate the sissy shop clerk eunuch mentality femboys that have infiltrated into all of our institutions!

It is well defined, private ownership of the means of production. And it's not a problem....the opposite is the problem.

[@ageegag2037]

@@darkgardener9577 I said it isn't at the center of the problem once the person analysing understands its correct definition. If you tell a lefty that it is simply the ownership of the means of production (which is a reductive definition) he will simply blink and the discussion will end. The lefty still has a problem/question, even if you don't want to call it capitalism.

@@ageegag2037 Ah ok, I see it now but read it differently. Oh I know, but how do you communicate with people who reject language itself just because demonizing their imaginary boogieman feels so much better??? I just avoid them.

[@ageegag2037]

@@darkgardener9577 You rejected language itself when reading my comment when you assumed I was some anti capitalist seething lefty. If you had read it in its entirety (although I agree it's too long) you'd have easily understood I wasn't critiquing capitalism per se. "pro capitalists" are also too eager to chomp at the bit like you did and come off as hot headed yokels. Of course I prefer daring and vigorous capitalists to any ressentful lefty any day of the week, but damn can the economic right wingers pass off as brutish and uneducated when they want...

I liked this video ! The system has taken us here, it has lots of things that are good, no doubt. If communism is "centralism planning", is capitalism "decentralized planning"? if not, can we create a new system which takes the positive aspects of "centralized planning", with the power and robustness of decentralized planning.......? 🤔🤔🤔 this is why we need you AI friend, this are some really complex problems, I am sure with both human and AI effort, we will come to an answer!!!!

He wasn't sharp at all- no match for Marx; in fact, you're trying "resuscitating" an old "economic" mummy that no one ever heard of before
