Capitalism failed in countries that had successful socialist revolutions. Just as socialism failed in countries that turned capitalist, yes?

Capitalism doesn't need some founding text to exist, it's not a philosophical movement, if a person calls himself a capitalist, it's because of his entrepreneurial activities, not opinions and interpretations.

It's not an "-ism."

'Capitalist' is often used as shorthand for 'pro-capitalist' (i.e. supportive of entrepreneurial activities). The former group probably a subset of the latter.

>>9991030
>'Capitalist' is often used as shorthand for 'pro-capitalist'
But what does the 'capitalist' within 'pro-capitalist' mean?

The anon thought the answer to be pro-pro-capitalist, then the same question appeared with the answer pro-pro-pro-capitalist, and before he knew it, anon was lost in the infinite recursion.

>>9991048
Capitalism is no philosophical movement, there is no text that would instruct you on how to piledrive people into the trashcan.

>>9991059
This. Marxian readings that privilege infrastructure over superstructure are consistent with the man's own views, too.

>>9991081
>But what does the 'capitalist' within 'pro-capitalist' mean?
>if a person calls himself a capitalist, it's because of his entrepreneurial activities, not opinions and interpretations
To be 'pro-' something is to have an opinion about it. There is no recursion.

>But what does the 'capitalist' within 'pro-capitalist' mean?

>Capitalism is no philosophical movement, there is no text that would instruct you on how to piledrive people into the trashcan.
reminds me of the "atheism is not an ideology, it doesn't have a set of beliefs like religions do anon !"
That's not how ideology works boi, there are more texts promoting capitalism out there than probably any other socioeconomic model I can think of, even your average "how to run a business 101" book is written on the basis of capitalist perpetuation, it implies the upholding of private property, just watch your average PragerU video and tell me their agenda is not ideologically driven

>>9991101

>>9991101
>there are more texts promoting capitalism out there than probably any other socioeconomic model I can think of
And yet you cannot think of the founding one, because there is no philosophical movement, you have no culprit, you wish this was an "-ism", but it's not.

Were the spirit and might of Stalin to possess you, and get you to censor these books and send their writers to Gulag, would you thinik this would end capitalism? Unfortunately for you it's not a philosophical movement.

Because no matter how many texts you produce, they are interpretations too, they're not capitalism, you just dream they were.

>"how to run a business 101" book is written on the basis of capitalist perpetuation,it implies the upholding of private property,
What if I told you it was written according to the relevant legislation, because the objective wasn't to instruct people on running illegal businesses?

Why do you guys think Marx wrote These XI, again?

>>9991148
>Why do you guys think Marx wrote These XI, again?
What point are you making? That 'pro-capitalist' is redundant because someone supportive of, but not themselves, generating capital does not engage in praxis and is therefore irrelevant?

>>9991201
If you support somebody generating capital you're a consumer of that particular somebody's company, or perhaps the marketing guy, it's not an -ism that would encompass all the somebodies and all companies, because praxis tells me they're rivals.

These XI seems to be systematically ignored ITT. Especially when the world is being misinterpreted to begin with.

In their mind captialism=any bad and communism=anything good. There is no discussion of any ideology or history. It's a simple baby's way of looking at things. Good vs bad.
It's why they refer to the failed USSR as 'state capitalist', at least they acknowledge it was bad, but because it was bad it cannot be Marxist.

>>9991792

You and the guy below you are literal retards.

>>9991998
hey retard, in your fantasy land any system that has any regulations on business (even if it's shit like "don't put rat poison in baby food") is "making company owners do things with a gun to their head" AKA evil authoritarian socialism

They believe that value is determined by how many hours are put into the physical production of a product. The extraction from this therefore is that any profit made from a product is exploitation.

Capitalism is an economic system and pretty much unrelated to statesmanship. Any attempt to deny this is to only prove that you don't know what capitalism actually is.

>>9992151
>Capitalism
>unrelated to statesmanship.
Only a moron could divide politics and economy with such ease!

>>9992151
First of all, that's just dumb, economy and politics are intertwined to death.

But let's say you're right. In that case socialism is an economic system as well and has nothing to do with statesmanship. You can't have it both ways.

Certify? What certifications are you talking about? Certifications are regulations which means they're gone.
Why would people buy it? Because they don't know it's poisonous. Shit, cigarettes cause cancer and they're still selling like crazy.

>>9991587
You're a fucking idiot. Ireland had tonnes of potatoes but were forced to give them to the English as part of the "empire".

They refused to lower the prices so Irish people just starved while England made a profit.

A lot of that list is bullshit, but's that one's legit.

>>9993698
there currently exist private certification agencies. without a subsidized monopoly there would be more competition for a better service than we currently have

>>9993723
and why wouldn't those agencies just take the companies' money and fiddle with the tests? what's keeping them honest?

I mean Jesus, what you people want to do is create more bother and more trouble for the average joe who's gonna have to find out who the producer of his food is certified with, what people say about them and a million other things before buying a can of beans. and the same for the rest of his products.
people don't have neither the time nor the will for that shit, they want to come into the store and buy things, not read labels for half an hour while googling for a rottentomatoes-like site for certification companies.

>>9993758
it seems the answer would be for the certification agency to simply stamp the product.

>>9993785
so your answer to a question about the trustworthiness of such agencies that are easily corrupted by deep pockets is a stamp.

>>9993758
>>9993808
you wouldn't google the safety certification of your food?

"No one can predict the number of firms, the size of each firm, the pricing policies, etc., of any future market in any service or commodity. We just know — by economic theory and by historical insight — that such a free market will do the job infinitely better than the compulsory monopoly of bureaucratic government." -Murry Rothbard

>>9993821

because some are better than others. some have done procedures hundreds of times and some have not. some may be cheaper (because of the state the healthcare market in the US isn't tied strongly to a market feedback system as it should be). experience + cost + customer service + etc. some businesses and service providers are better than others and it would be in your best interest to be able to chose.
