My friend drove me downtown and took me to the lakeshore and showed me all the rich people and their Yachts. He said "see that shit, I want that shit, see that? that shit, i want that shit". I go "what's your point?". He responds "you don't get it do you? I WANT THAT SHIT" and then I realize it, but it's too late because he explains it. "I want that shit so bad but because of capitalism i will never get it , i can only watch those who have it enjoy their luxury, it's torture man".

How would someone who buys the theory of market capitalism refute that point. He proves that for the bottom 90% capitalism is essentially torture.

it's torture if you allow it to be
envy and jealousy are feminine traits. socialism and communism are feminine ideologies. aspiration is what built human civilization, and aspiration is the basis of capitalism. whining about those better off than you achieves absolutely nothing, we live in a society where if you have a good idea and market it smartly you can become immensely wealthy. the other side to this, the beautiful part, is if you sit on your arse and do nothing, you will never amount to anything, and this is exactly how it should be. market capitalism is the only way to build a society capable of progression, and that will never change.

He'd go to prison and he says prison is the worst torture you can imagine. He always wanted to go swimming but couldn't. He always wanted to stay up late but couldn't he said he spent half the nights just awake completley and all the days just tired since he's a night owl. He always wanted nice steaks, hotdogs, burgers, and fries but he got gross prison food. He always was made fun of in the showers because he was naked and embarassed so he couldn't even enjoy that.

Under Socialist and Communist societies those Yachts will still be there. Just owned by the government and maybe the few corporations the government might allow to exist.

Only difference will be you can't openly complain about it or you get arrested.

Who said join? I said take. Make a business selling hacked Droid boxes to old people to get start up money. Then take that money and invest into a new enterprise it can be anything from selling wallets to phone games it's not what you sell it is where you sell it and how. You hate rich people trick them out of their money it's what they did to you. Instead you'd rather argue philosophy and I can tell you that is a useless path if you crave wealth history will back me up. Stop blaming others for your problems and do something you and your friend are feeding each others lazy tendencies and ideals.

How old are you?
Once you are 40, you can probably buy one of those boats used for a decent price if your credit is OK.
"Capitalism is broken!" cause you don't have the wealth of a retired old man, who's been working for 40 years?
Get out of here. Wealth isn't the same as income. Just save your money, or invest it.

Torture is the word we use to describe when we cut off people's fingers and crush their testicles. Your friend is jealous. He is describing jealousy. It doesn't have anything to do with capitalism. People are jealous in communism, people are jealous in anarchy. Your friend is using an incorrect word to describe a reality of life and then blames it on something which is not strictly the source. Your friend is not wise nor is he saying anything which has substantial value.

You fucking moronic leaf. You're moving goalposts. If we redesign the standard previously defined as "rich" then everyone could be rich. What you're proposing isn't an improved economic structure - it's abandonment of "the fittest will survive." Don't you understand that the people with the most power/influence/money have it because most of them have worked for it? Even if their parents gave it to them, someone along the line had to accumulate that power/influence/money.

Look, the only real way any society has progressed was through its rich and powerful. The people at the bottom of the bucket didn't exactly make a name for themselves. That's not because "the man is keeping me down!" it's because they didn't and couldn't accomplish much. Whether or not they had the resources to do it, they didn't accomplish anything noteworthy.

Our civilization demands an upper-class.

What makes you think you deserve what others have worked for? Do you think you are entitled to it because you want it?

If there is no contrast then everything eventually loses it's meaning.

Society would not function if people were satisfied and not yearning for more.

For example, if everyone was a heroin addict, everyone would simply sit in a room and take heroin, and we'd all die, because there wouldn't be anyone to farm, or drill for oil, or build or do anything.

No, that's YOUR asserted conclusion! You are stupid and bait poorly.

Your friend is weak and even more stupid. He should be learning how to get money, then working to get money, not crying about not having TOYS he doesn't need to survive.

You stupid cunts make your own problems then wallow in your shittiness. I smell Millenial.

Canada is comfy as fuck. You don't know starvation or war, yet you cry. You cannot fall out of your Socialist safety net, but you think you are tortured by anything but yourselves.

Why are you failures? Why do you waste time wanting instead of hustling to GET more of the things you want?

He isn't. He is describing jealousy. Then he blames it on a particular economic system. Why is his jealousy important, why blame that economic system? Even cavemen were jealous, I assure you, and it had nothing to do with capitalism. These jealous cavemen didn't suddenly became deeply eloquent intellectuals if they said not owning many rocks was like being eaten alive by wild beasts.

I've been on those yachts. It's nice.

In the end of the day I'd rather live off the land with a family and kids, swimming in rivers, eating delicious healthy food, stuff like that. Not on a yacht, detached from everything else, blind of the outside world.

People set themselves unrealistic goals about things they don't need, when they forget what really matters. You don't need a yacht. You need land and a family. Thing is, we've been deprived of it and taught to see it as backwards. Of course normies want a yacht, that's what they've been told is the apex of human needs.

now extrapolate to modern times, IEs now diffused tech throughout the planet. everyone has weapons and medicine and shit. overpopulation and wars...
increased conflicts and competition.
all coming from western tech.

the west leveled the playing field. even india is getting into the space race thanks to western tech diffusion. now the west is experiencing replacement by the former 3rd world.

It does. 80/20 rule. People who work hard and are really good at what they do get places. There's a reason why people starved to death when they collectivized the farms in Ukraine during the Soviet Union. They got rid of the good workers, the ones who were doing everything, and replaced them with incompetent people in comparison to the previous workers.

Meritocracy is real, and it's evident by the fact that the 1% even exists.

My personal philosophy is this: I don't worry about what other people have. Thus, Floyd Mayweather setting $100 bills on fire while pouring Cristal over a stripper's snatch doesn't bother me, and neither does the so-called poverty of a ghetto crackhead who fucked her way into 14 fatherless kids.

Some of them got there because they're smarter than you. Some got there because they worked harder than you.

Some even got there because their father was smarter or worked harder than you, and chose to use their money to give their own kid a rich life.

Some luck was involved, because we live in a random universe.

Its fair. In the capitalist system, you reap what you sow. You and your friend are envious leeches.

This is the absolute retard's reason to dislike capitalism.
The only bad thing about capitalism is that it requires not only you to be smart and productive but the people you work with as well, which more ofte than not comes down to rolling the right dices at the right time.
And sometimes the work thats demanded is work to to hard for you to enjoy with to little pay to be worth it.

A stinking rich person told me not to persue ny strand but Esther enjoy what i have, sometimes what you have gets you nowhere and is absolutely un-enjoyable.
Lets be reasonle, you are not going to develop passion for calling people to sell them useless stuff.

he and his friend are retarded and how often do retards become rich in capitalism?
not very often so op is disadvantaged.

seriously op just create a fucking product the public in your area want, it is that fucking simple. My family went from worrying about bills to pay to millionaires because they created something my area needed.

I know OP is trolling but the point is a rowboat could be built and maintained by a single person. A yacht, by definition, can not be. It requires the ability to control the labor output of various other peoples, probably dozens, which is done through the control of capital on our society. In other societies something similar could be done only through force or some form of power

Eh realizing "I want that shit" is the first step to becoming rich. Literally all he has to do is keep that same drive and work towards it for a few years and he'd "have that shit".

Doing something wrong doesn't mean just manipulating a system. It can also mean usury. Imagine a kike in California who's a business man, but also a huge dick tied to the state and fucking everyone else over. It's like having a business but also putting a rock and chain on everyone else. That's offensive strategies rather than him working the market naturally.

Think of it this way. Two lemonade stands, right? I can be creative, maybe add lime to mine to make mine more interesting than my competitor. Maybe even add special deals like every five cups you get one free. I'm not attacking my competitor by doing so.

On the other hand, I can be a dick and extort my competitor, put a gun to his head, rob him, or even get the state to kick over his lemonade stand, and ignore all forms of ethics.

I agree that's the point, if everyone is the yacht owner, who's building the yacht? who's crewing the yacht?

In theory, Commies just want no yachts for anyone

In practice, Commies steal yachts from capitalists who built them honestly for use by for party members

>>128450818
it's a matter of perspective. if you equate your happiness with how much you have then of course you're going to be miserable if you have very little.

For a lot of people though the rat race is part of the excitement. Guys that were able to scrounge up that first $10-20k or get an investor and take a plunge on a business idea and see that business grow slowly but steadily to $100k/year then $500k/year then $1m/year etc. I mean I've known guys who started businesses in their garage and 10 years later they have a 50,000sqft warehouse making millions per year.

That's not even getting into the fact that many people end up not equating wealth with happiness, they think they do initially but once they have it they're still as miserable as when they were poor because they realize there's not much higher they can climb (eg. they're worth $20 million and know their life won't change much at all even if they're worth $100 million) and in some cases these types of wealthy people have even committed suicide.

Can't really give you a solution for it though. Best bet is to try and cut any source of envy out of your life, with the exception of if that envy gives you tremendous motivation. For me, envy doesn't give me motivation, it just makes me feel bad, so I cut it out. Don't use facebook, don't really have many friends that are exceptionally better off than I am (slightly sure, just nothing absurd) and I just grind away at life trying to make incremental improvements over time. I mean I'm 34, I make around $90k/year. When I was 24 I was making like $45k/year so in 10 years I've doubled my income. I drive a nicer car than I did 10 years ago, I have a small house that's almost paid off, another two years or so and I won't have a mortgage anymore which will in effect be a huge salary increase since that's about $900/month that I won't have to spend anymore.

Anyway yea, capitalism can be frustrating but there's not much you can do about that.

The game of superyachts is not one played by the top 10% - even among rich, really rich people, there is a saying - 'Best yacht is friends yacht' - meaning, you personally don't have to pay for the shit. Yachts is not Top 10% laughing at the other 90%, its maybe 0.01% laughing at the rest of the 1% who cant afford it. If your friend wants to be rich and have a yacht, he should start out very, very rich - then, fall for the demon boat succubus.

>No, the solution is to make everyone rich.

you realize if you were to take the combined sum of all the wealth in the world and distribute it equally to every living person, everybody would get about $35,000 (at the cost of destroying society's modes of production and following collapse of the capitalist system which would make the currency worthless)

if you were to take the combined wealth of all the billionaires in the planet and distribute it equally to every living person, everybody would get about $770, which would actually mean a lot to the poorest people in the planet (except inflation would run it's course and destroy the local value), but to you it would mean what, an iphone?

the billionaires are there so the suckers like your friend that get so seduced by material wealth can work their asses off trying to achieve it (maybe he would never achieve it, but it's certainly possible for his children or grandchildren to achieve it if he works hard), increasing the productivity levels of the system and that's why capitalism beat communism

why would you want material wealth anyway? research shows once your basic material needs are covered (food, shelter, health), money does nothing to increase happiness

Don't be jealous.
Being rich is nice, not gonna lie, but that alone won't magically fix all your problems.
It's cool to have extra legroom in airplanes, to own the newest technology first, to live in an extremely safe neighborhood and to never have to to worry about the next paycheck, but at some point spending more money does not result in higher pleasure and comfort, it just becomes a waste.

I have friends that own massive houses and massive boats and although I have the money to afford those things I'd never want them and if you took a close look at those things you wouldn't want them either.

My friend that owns a massive yacht constantly has to have people over to fix the boat and keep it running. He can't just decide to go out on the ocean on it because he needs to have a crew that runs shit as well as a captain and then he needs to wait 30 minutes for every bridge to open on the Intracoastal Waterway, resulting in a (at least) 3 hour delay in total.
What does he have to show for it? An oversized turd that has a bunch of useless shit on board that just exists to show off and has no practical value. Who the fuck needs a full size living room on a boat? You are on a boat to enjoy the water, not to watch Seinfeld with your grandma.

Same with big houses, there is only so much space that you could ever need as long as your family doesn't consist of 30 people. Private cinema rooms are nice but I'd have to watch A LOT of movies to justify building one for 10k$ instead of just going to the movies in my local shopping mall and spending 8$.

I could go on but i think you get my point.
100k$ per year is the most you could ever really need to make per year to retain a maximum quality of life while not spending money on useless shit and that income level is very much attainable for the average joe.

Besides that you ignore that a lot of services and goods have become "mainstream" from being luxuries only a few years ago.
A good example are smartphones.

Capitalism and the science funded by capitalist economies are raising the bar of quality of life faster than anything else in human history.

Sure, you may want things the ultra rich have today, but technology lets poorfags enjoy things today that the richest people in the world couldn't have 3 to 5 generations ago.

Do you think the richest man in the world in the 1850's had air conditioning, could go to the grocery store and buy exotic fruits from the far side of the world, smart phones, the internet etc? Could the richest person in the world travel on a jet to the far side of the planet in a matter of hours for only a few hundred $?

Capitalism and capitalism funded science lets average people enjoy a higher quality of life than the richest in the world could even imagine only a few generations ago.
