@Asianometry Actually very serious mistake. Really makes your credibility to drop.

@gravityskeptic8697 ugh left wing really has no brain activity. First of all rich corporations don't bribe politicians. It literally isn't worth of their time and effort. They aren't really swimming in money, their assets have worth by that is different from actual cash. When it comes to corporation lobbying it's just them having expensive lobbyist presenting their arguments why law X should be created or removed. Which is only related to the business that the company itself is doing. Generally they lobby for more laws in order to kill their competition. Now for fundraisers, are you claiming that Bernie didn't get funds from anywhere else than from himself? What you failed to understand from my initial comment was that politicians are bribing voters to vote for them by advocating for policies which would give them money. This is literally against the law if they would give hard cash to the voter to vote for them. But for some reason it's allowed to be legal if they promise that government gives that same cash. Socialism is literally left wing populism and corruption. Instead of having rich campaign donors, they promise to give monetary value to their voters.

@gravityskeptic8697 so vote buying by promising monetary value like socialist do, isn't illegal and corrupt?

Not only that but japanese government is basically swimming in debts because of their decision to ostrezise the rich.

Prewar government was imperial government. Basically a dictatorship. "so nothing is likely to change and we're all serfs now." Silly statement. Also wealth inequality is meaningless, just because someone has more than you it doesn't mean that it's away from you.

@jimirving3235 You can't be serious? You do realize that biggest corporations with most infleunce on the planet literally funded democrats campaigns? It's not republicans who are in the pockets of "eeeeeevil capitalists" but the democrats. Literally the reason why google even has a monopoly is because congress makes laws that makes competition with google impossible. Not to mention that they give them money. Bernie was good example to show that even so called "good politicians" who are supposedly anti-capitalists do this. Also they are as much as bribes as what you told about large donors.

@RoyeReedBenjamin hahaha socialist policies literally always create those. All you are doing is trying to give excused to a political group of psychopaths.
2
@gravityskeptic8697 not really, campaign donations are pretty common. However people don't donate to people who don't already share their beliefs. It's not like some billionaire capitalist would ever donate to someone like Bernie. Instead he would donate to someone who he thinks that has his side. It's not about bribing politicians, but paying their campaign costs so that politician you like has slightly higher chance to get in.

@proskub5039 What makes you think that it would be worse for the public? Do you even understand the difference of planning defense budget and just forcefully redistribute wealth among populous to your own voters?
2
@gravityskeptic8697 Why would you give campaign money to candidate that doesn't support your policies over candidate that does?
2
@jmiquelmb Only leftists are ignorant. They still believe in failed ideas that have been refuted in intellectual battle ground and in the practice as well. All leftism is bad. You guys are just bunch of psychopaths with noodle arms.

@jmiquelmb You know what? You should change your profile picture into pigeon playing chess. Fits you better than symbol of wisdom and knowledge.

@henrylo6773 Don't bother, just look a his latest replies with me. That guy is just low IQ homophobic troll. He can't even come up with decent arguments. Instead of answering points he will just go and throw more while ignoring previous ones in order to make appearance of being on top.
2
Or maybe you should just move to north korea?
1
The top heavy was only because government originally protected those groups. In free market monopolies never appear or last long. They naturally dissolve eventually.
1
@anotherpolo1143 Says guy who deitifies politicians and the state. "Which is it, they never appear, or they don't last long? " Never last long. Monopoly will always appear when someone invents something new and turns it into product. Since monopoly is just defined as someone who is the only producer of product X. It isn't even inherently bad thing either. What is bad is when competition is prevented with laws and regulations that government provides. There isn't a single monopoly in history of mankind that has managed to survive passage of time without help of government support. "Monopolies are the end result of free market capitalism. " not true, if this was the case then we would see more monopolies, instead of seeing large companies collapsing. "There is no "dissolution" process in unregulated capitalism." There is, it's called as having children and inheritance.

@zane62135 lol what? 5-10 websites? You serious? Just because you're interested on following only CNN it doesn't mean that other websites doesn't exists.
1
@zoloftdependant5246 Just because they generate large amounts of traffic it isn't same as being monopoly. Not to mention that there have been popular pages that have died out like myspace for example.

@jmiquelmb Sorry to break this to you.. but economics is pretty much mathematical. Which is why socialists and communists are in GENERAL terrible at math. This is why their economics always fail. They never understand where the numbers come from and how people are suppose to pay their spending. Simply put... You people are like locust, all you do is devour until there is nothing left to eat.
1
@jmiquelmb Socialist, ancom, social democrat all far leftists and each one of them defends each others. "And I don't even know what do you think socialism means, so I can't say much on that" Abolishing private property such as means of production and distribution of goods. In theory suppose to be about worker ownership/control of those but in practice state controlled/owned. You being econ grad is as valuable piece of information as me being navy seal veteran with 3000 confirmed kills. Economics is mainly about numbers, in the end of the day it comes down to supply and demand. Lot of left wingers for example even fail to understand that government debt has to be paid eventually. Thus they advocate for policies that will increase the public spending thus increase the national debt, instead of cutting it down. All left wing economics have always led into shortages and poverty.
1
@jmiquelmb "then by your definition public infraestructure, education and healthcare is socialism." Nope, I never said that. Infastructure, education and healthcare are not means of productions nor distribution of goods. However there is other arguments why those shouldn't be in public sector. "Military and police are also socialist" You claim to read economics but with your definition literally every society in human history was socialists. " supply/demand are the most basic aspects that every layman knows about" Yet "eco grad" doesn't understand it. It's hilarious that someone as ignorant and dim as you claims to be Econ Grad and doesn't even know definition of socialism. Fun fact... I gave you dictionary definition of it and added there what the theory is suppose to advocate and how it really works in reality when implemented. Advice for you kiddo... Read more than one book.
1
@henrylo6773 He claims to be Eco grad as well and doesn't even know what socialism is. This guy is all talk but no wit at all.
1
@jmiquelmb Now you're just shifting the goalpost by adding more things. "What do you think constitutes a mean of production?" Factories and farms for example. Marx was pretty clear about this. Public utilities already existed during his era, thus he mean actual jobs that weren't related to government. As I said with your definition: Government doing something = socialism. This is nothing but strawman argument from what I had said as definition and proves that you're dishonest man without any shred of honor. Worse... You actually think that any of those things you had mention would actually even answer to my previous points about socialism in context where I'm talking about socialism as complete take over of the private sector. So not only you're strawmaning me, but you're making fallacy from semantics. "Every society has some socialized policie" Socialization isn't same as socialism. Econ Grad should know that. "it seems pretty impossible to manage a society with purely private ownership" Actually not at all. But that is red herring argument from you. "What makes you think so?" if you did you wouldn't be left winger. " tell me how do you think the market allocates supply and demand in an optimal point in the market of common non exclusionary goods like wild fish" How about you give me definition of supply and demand without googling it...oh wait I forgot you have no honor so you would google it. Anyway humor me. "Unless you're someone who is ignorant about economics, and thinks they can school people after watching some youtube. I expect a real answer, I'm pretty tired of your nonsensical "I know, you don't" non argument that you're tossing around. " Little kid claiming to be Grad student thinks that he holds any kind of authority on this subject. Even if what you said about yourself would be true, you still aren't expert in your field yet and you could still be just a poor student.
1
@jmiquelmb Nope it's not. Plenty of economist arguing against you, including Nobel winner ones like Milton Friedman. Funny how econ Grad uses wikipedia as his source. :D Also what you're describing is more of a fascist economy than socialist. Government control/ownership over industries is usually more linked into fascism or one might say national socialism. ;) With your logic feudal system was socialism since political class owned all the farm lands. " Do you think Marx would be ok with not seizing hospitals?" Irrelevant would he be okay with it or not, his speech was about taking over the private sector as whole, not public utilities. "capitalist/socialism is not binary, it's a spectrum" Objectively false. " Every developed economy is a mixed economy, since they're not entirely planified nor decentralized." Alse vastly false. Usually ignorant people such as yourself call things as mixed economies in order to defend socialism. While ignoring that vast majority of the industries and all the work would be in private sector. You do this since you're dishonest person who tries to make image that it's 50/50 mix. Even though it could in reality be something like 5%. "About the impossibility to run an entirely privately owned economy, that's not a left wing argument. " Expect it's. "Smith, Ricardo, Stuart Mill" And reminder... When did those people live? ;D "And lastly, you basically avoided to answer a question about the "tragedy of commons", which any economist could have a saying about. " You never mentioned tragedy of commons. I"t's a waste of time to talk with you. You clearly have no knowledge about economics," Ah yeas because it's only not waste of time when talking with people who already agree with you? You do realize that world is a mess because of people like you? Do world a favor and shut up and let adults do the politics and discussions that influence all of our lives. You get to say once you have been working at least 10-years. "So have a good day, now you're free to have the last saying and pretend you've won." Literally what you have been doing. Nice projection.
1
@jmiquelmb For someone who claims that doesn't come back you sure came back. Seems like this all is about your ego. Now instead of trying to play semantics and other dishonest debate fallacies. How about you address my actual claim. Please prove that mathematics have nothing to do with economics nor with running the country. I'll wait ;D
1
@jmiquelmb Ah again you came back. What happened to goodbye? I wasn't talking about not knowing about mixed economy but disagreeing with you what counts as socialism. Heck even the wikipedia quote you provided didn't prove public utilities as means of productions. Whetever hospitals should be private or public that is totally different debate. However data is pretty clear on that private hospitals perform better. "Sure show me where Friedman claims an entire economy can be run from purely private means. " Another strawman. Man you socialists really are trying to grasp straws so hard. "Haven't mentioned tragedy of the commons" Search results show no mention of Tragedy of the commons. "Oh, because i mentioned non excludable goods like fish, and you didn't got it. " That is not tragedy of commons " Oh, and why the assumption that I haven't worked for that long? " Because you were using econ grad as authority instead of actual experience in working in economics. Just a student without any real life experience. Best of all... In all of your dishonesty and underhanded debate tactics... You still have failed to actually refute my point of that math is needed in economics and managing economy of the country.
1
@jmiquelmb Ah you made second comment thus being sneaky in your attempt to ensure that I can't respond to it. "Why? Where have I said that? The only relevant school that rejects maths and the scientific method are Austrians, which are right wing and heterodox. " You responded to: Sorry to break this to you.. but economics is pretty much mathematical. Which is why socialists and communists are in GENERAL terrible at math. This is why their economics always fail. They never understand where the numbers come from and how people are suppose to pay their spending. Simply put... You people are like locust, all you do is devour until there is nothing left to eat. To which you said:And I can see pretty easily that you don't have an education on economics, judging by your superficial remarks. "Economics is mainly numbers" This held implication that economics isn't about numbers. Now context was that left wingers don't understand economics nor math since all of their policies goes against what economics actually teach us. Also hilarious that you attack austrian economics even though only countries with austrian economics flourish and people in general have the best well being in the society. The trend is clear, more Austrian the economics are the better for everyone expect psychopaths like yourself. So go ahead and prove me wrong... Prove me that understanding math isn't relevant on economics and ruling the country. We both know that you can't. So run away parasite.

@jmiquelmb Go and look and economic freedom index. Pretty much all western nations are.
1
@jmiquelmb It measures economic freedom of each country and if you had actually looked at it. There is extremely high correlation between wealth of the people and the nation and economic freedom, while extreme correlation with poverty and lack of economic freedom. While Marx's economics have been thoroughly debunked. Not only he doesn't he got value of labor wrong, but all of his philosophies when tried in action have ended up in devastating results to the economy.
1
@jmiquelmb I noticed that you're constantly on offensive but whenever put on defensive you just ignore what has been said before. There are lot of things you have failed to answer to, instead you keep throwing new demands of what I should say instead. As I said, no honor whatsoever. This is why whole world looks down on you people and no woman gets excited when soyboys like you are near them. How about you start answering my questions before start asking more? Coward
1
@jmiquelmb People mirror their own emotional state to the text they read. Scientifically proven. So if you view me as angry it actually tells me that you are feeling angry. Just look at you. Acting like typical troll. Trying to be now all "you mad brah" after you got totally destroyed in debate xD. Well what do I expect from a guy who uses Owl of Athena as his avatar. You are the type of person who likes to smell his own farts. :D
1
@jmiquelmb Most of the text had nothing to do with am I mad or not. Just to analyze your personality. Athena's owl as avatar. It shows that you think yourself very highly. Symbol of wisdom and knowledge, however your act isn't really wise nor do you even posses enough knowledge to use such symbols are your avatar. Basically you're narcissist who has delusional ideas about yourself. Far from a wiseman when you act like a teenage troll. Far from someone who posses knowledge when you resort into petty underhanded debate strategies. Defeating people like you is actually sport of mine and I have never lost. Just like this time you had lost the moment you became evasive and I pointed it out in front of everyone who might read the comment section. Thank you for easy win and entertainment.
1
@jmiquelmb Thank you for proving my point about your narcissistic ego. Another easy win.

@jmiquelmb Just moment ago you were bashing guy for not being progressive and now you're using gay as an insult. What are you? 12-year old or something?
1
@jmiquelmb Ladies and gentlemen. Great showcase of how little wits the person who claims to be Econ Grad has. All that education yet he can't come back even with decent retort.

Highly dishonest video and poorly researched just to spread political propaganda. Post-war economies have tendencies to flourish since all the men and resources goes back into productive outlets. While Zaibatsu originally government protected group, which ensured that they could even become monopoly for a while. This is virtually impossible in free market economy without government protecting corporations. Not only that but you failed to even state that Japanese government after these actions have been swimming in debt that they can't ever pay away. while you glorify as eating the rich as solution, in result you actually just got government that runs on debt. Which can't run forever.
