RE: Mutual Aid a funadamental basis of capitalism supported by an "anarchist" 109

Lol, you still got a ways to go
People take jobs at the lowest wage possible not because it suits them, but because it is preferable to starving under a bridge in winter.

Paying the lowest wages possible while selling at the highest profit is hardly mutually beneficial.

That 'so called' anarchist wrote the books that are the foundations of anarchism.
I hope you keep reading, there are many more fine cherries to be picked.

Sort:  

A lot of people don't take jobs because they don't need to. Most people could work more if they wanted to.

Most businesses fail.

Feel free to help yourself and upvote yourself.

in the first world maybe. your scope is narrow.

Without capitalism there would often be little hope for the 3rd world. Look at China as an example.

China is revisionist.

The USSR increased the living standards of it's people exponentially. It literally took a nation of illiterate peasants and in one generation sent the first person to space.

I think China used capitalism to become a powerhouse just like the USA did.

I'm not aware of much success in the USSR other than the space program.

Quality of life is better in under socialism.

This paper that I've linked you proves it.

You're unaware because the capitalist class doesn't want you to know.

Yeah in the short term socialism is always better. Venezuela and the USSR had some great times before the collapse. The USA is also doing great right now under most measures but we are heading for collapse.

I think in general democracies lead to more socialism and eventually a collapse.
