Remember all the horribleness that people in Dayton Ohio suffer is worth it because some person in Bangladesh a place most posters will never visit has a job which involves them being crushed by a badly built factory.

I love how not wanting third cousins losing their jobs due to their plant being moved to Indonesia is now racist. Supporting family is apparently a bad thing.

caps on caps on caps posted:"we could not care less if tens of millions of black and yellow people starve to death, at least without trade there is less capitalism" Hey that's how it works people tend to care more for their fellow countrymen who live in places they have been then for someone thousands of miles away. Calling them racist for looking out for their relatives or friends interests doesn't make them want to support you wanting to destroy their livelihoods.

double nine posted:A worse scenario I see re:finance regulation is that the republicans will cut every regulation they can, then because of Trump & his cabinet's popularity they get ousted from office in 4 years, and then the democrats get to clean up & blamed for the resulting financial crash/crisis. There Is probably going to be recession before or after the midterm elections .

caps on caps on caps posted:I said that reduction of absolute poverty from 85% worldwide to less than 30% worldwide is a huge achievement but thanks I forgot to discount brown people's value sufficiently I guess? I will gladly do that because I care more for my fellow Americans. I could give one poo poo about someone in Bangaldesh. Also if someone were to come to power and promised that liberals who want Americans to suffer because a bangaldeshi deserves their job would dissapear. I would vote for them in a heartbeat.

caps on caps on caps posted:Remember when Nazi Germany lost WW2 because they ran a planned economy? Actually it took well into 1942 for them to become a command economy. Everyone else was long before them. caps on caps on caps posted:"Corporations are the same as countries, hence, the world should be run non-democratically in a hierarchical fashion lead by CEO Donald Trump, competing with other worlds on the market of worlds" - Forums poster Ratoslov Actually having worked at Walmart for over three years and seeing the inefficiencies the company had due to various confusing orders from the home office that ate away at Manager morale, I can say there is not that much difference between a large company and a over beuracicised command economy country.

What the left needs in a sense in a Nicene creed. We know what we stand against. We stand against the sociopaths that run corporations. We stand against totalitarian capitalism. We stand against racism. We stand against sexism. But now we must say what we stand for. We must articulate what we believe. What we offer. THe Neoliberals despite being parasites in needing of gulags offer a vision. "We'll give you the ability to fulfill your potential without government impediment". We should say. We stand for the workers being able to actively decide what their enterprise does going forward. We believe women shouldn't be oppressed by a system that sexually abuses them. We do not believe in dividing people based on the color of their skin, or their creed they profess. We believe in the liberation from top down corporations. Through removing all these which divide and destroy humans we believe that we can build a society that can bring all of us to the stars.

BrandorKP posted:Did Robespierre keep his head? Robespierre didn't have camps. I believe that given the right physical encouragement most people no matter how far they have gone down can be made to see the light and stop being greedy, and prideful creatures. Of course there should probably be some sort of act of contrition if they are to be allowed back.
