RE: Poverty, Control, and Capitalism

in #politics7 years ago

'First of all, when you say that " [food, water, shelter, clothing and education] can easily be provided for all members of society", I honestly can't see how. "

we produce 30% more food than the world needs to survive and yet people are starving. Water is easy, we just need to clean it. Education is easy, we just need more teachers.

Sort:  

Where is this food located? Who is going to distribute it? How are they going to distribute it?
How are you going to clean the water? How are you going to distribute it?
Who is going to teach the teachers? Where? For how much time? Are you going to force people to be teachers by gunpoint?

None of those problems is easy. All of them take a lot of coordination and effort by a lot of people.

"Where is this food located? Who is going to distribute it? How are they going to distribute it?"

why do the specifics matter? #1 we throw away most of it, #2 whoever we want #3 probably vehicles designed to ship food

we have the resources, that's all that matters

Oh my fucking god hahahaha ok. Yes, the specifics DO matter, that's why we have a science called economics, also logistics. But given your answers, I won't bother your any further; there's no point.

I am not part of the design team. We have the resources, that has been proven and that's all I need to prove.

I do not need to figure out the specifics myself.

"How are you going to clean the water? How are you going to distribute it?

#1 produce tools to clean the water, #2 use our fucking resources to make some

The ussr had more doctors per capita than the usa. It turns out if you give people the opportunity instead of just watching them starve to death or forcing them to work with inefficient machines we can get more done and people can do other stuff

and no, I will not do it at gun point. That's what you capitalists do. You hold every starving worker at gun point, just to keep him away from the food made for the higher classes in first world countries.
