Why the fuck does anyone spend hundreds of dollars on cellphones

>>59475463
It's part of peer pressure and social status.

Nobody will be able to find out that you have a high end workstation or expensive furniture at your home except for your family/gf and closest friends.

Everyone will be able to tell that you drive an expensive car or use newest Iphone. I know people who dress well and have expensive accessories but live like some sort of third world subhumans. It's just being a poseur.

Who says I'm not you retard? Why don't you sell your small dick so some pajeets can go to school instead?

I've consistently noticed that working class people making really unwise decisions, like:

- Eating out multiple times a week
- Buying smartphones every other year
- Subscribing to things like Netflix
- Traveling unnecessarily
- Buying coffee in the morning instead of making it

Financially successful people don't do these things. Even those with lots of money. That's how they got it in the first place.

Take a weekly expense and multiply it by 752: that's how much it'll actually cost you compounded over 10 years.
Do the same with monthly expenses and 173.

If you're buying phones left and right, you're an idiot regardless of how rich you think you are.

>>59475647
What if I tell you that some people are richer than you thought?

>>59475666
It doesn't make those decisions any wiser. It just means that they won't be as impacted by their stupidity with money.

Frivolous spending is a trait of the flash-rich.

We are talking about building the future. Chinks have built tokamaks, nukes, satellites, rockets, their homegrown chipsets and so on. I am not seeing this kind of development from India. If they were truly brilliant, they would stay in their country and improve it, like chinks ;).

It's a device you will use many hours per day, for a couple of years.

$800 isnt too much for something you use that much, especially considering you have 24 months to pay. That said most people should just get a $400 flagship killer.

>>59476248
Exactly. What's wrong with the word 'cuck' if you know its meaning?

>>59476211
You might buy your girlfriend iPhones and shit such as that but keep in mind that she will dump you the moment she activates the phone. There is a reason why words such as "whore" used on people who don't work in the prostitution industry.

>>59476269
Because people who are actually able to debate and carry out meaningful conversations will not resort to using derogatory terms? Seems like pajeets will never understand this.

But seriously, if you don't even understand what's vocabulary then you really shouldn't stay on this board as you will just get blasted and destroyed by people with proper first class education and ability to socialise like me

>>59476269
Why have you suddenly gone quiet, loser?

>>59476300
The word 'classcuck' is a simple, efficient and accurate way to describe someone with a passive attitude towards a class who exploits them and messes up their morality. I could have maybe used a less derogatory word, but I don't have a sympathy for people who defend that attitude thoughtlessly.

Also well, I don't think anyone should value 'vocabulary' more than logic.

>>59476331

Well, we seen such cases where in the "equal societies" such as Soviets where government officials, their families and their friends was appearantly "more equal" than the rest of us, being placed on accommodations of highest luxury.

>>59476346
>better call anyone that disagrees with me a class cuck and pretend I'm using legitimate language . Heheh maybe this way people will start taking me seriously and I might finally find a job that's not it help desk

>>59476379
USSR wasn't an equal society. As for now, the most equal societies are social democracies… well, they don't solve many problems and still require giving capitalists some privileges so they stfu, but I don't think anything better has already been tested in practice. Also I know, unfortunately many social democracies fell for the 'religious tolerance' meme, but that's another thing…

>IT MAY BE THE PATRIARCHY'S FAULT
Couldn't you think of a better strawman, really?

>>59476379
I agree. People will always suffer more under a "classless" society. For example nk and soviet

>>59476424
>Muh communism fails
>blames it on soviet not being a truly classless society
I AM GETTING OPPRESSED

That's like sayingI'm using a potato for the past 4 years and it serves me good

>>59476431
NK and Soviet Union aren't classless societies. There is still the owning class (the Nomenklatura) and the exploited class. I'm not sure if it's possible to create a classless society, but it's certainly achievable to lower the differences between classes.

>>59476424
I see many communists preach Stalin every day of the week. Why is that? If they don't believe that Stalin didn't follow their repeteadly failed ideolody, why would they preach him?

Eating out may take less time than making your food. The same goes for making coffee. The time might be more valuable for a financially successful person.

I agree with you, though, but profit making companies exist solely to extract as much money as possible from consumers for the least amount of effort. They do this very well, which is why we have more global wealth disparity than ever before in the history of human kind.

I'd rather do more with less than pay for more.

When it comes to whether women should serve in the army as intensively as men is a debatable question which I don't have an answer to. Women are on average biologically less fit to serve as soldiers than men, so well…
But I'm a pacifist so I ideally no one should serve in the army in my opinion, however I realise it's not a realistic demand.

Maybe everyone should just be tested if they're able to serve the army? The volounteer system is perfect – both women and men can apply and they'll just all get tested whether they fit or not.

This is essentially what Marx said, yes. Capitalism is one stage in historical development.

Third-world revolutions were not what Marx predicted, because attempting socialism without the infrastructure building naturally associated with an explosion in capital was putting the horse before the cart in his mind. This is why both the CCCP and PRC ended up implemented pseudo-capitalist schemes anyway to move beyond agrarianism.

This concept is controversial in leftist circles of course, because some view it as an excuse to accept the capitalist status quo while expecting Communism to arise organically.
