| Debate with the Capitalist | |

| They say that today's world are fine with capitalism. It proven | |
| that many nations are capitalist by economic system. And | |
| socialist nations are not many and even few, so according to | |
| them it is a sign that socialism are fail whatever it's shape. | |
| My only answer now is, a system which try to free the enslaved | |
| people deserves to be revived no matter it will fail on some | |
| period of time, rather than the capitalism which already enslave | |
| the non-Western world for more than 500 years, and still | |
| continue to run today. Is there any good answer from you? | |

| "It proven that many nations are capitalist by economic system. | |
| And socialist nations are not many and even few, so according to | |
| them it is a sign that socialism are fail whatever it's shape." | |
| Popularity is not an indicator of quality. That popularity | |
| should be assumed to indicate quality is itself a capitalist | |
| assumption based on market behaviour (high demand for a product | |
| = successful product). So the above statement says nothing | |
| except that capitalism considers itself superior by its own | |
| standards! | |
| A more meaningful test of which economic system is qualitatively | |
| better is how well it can handle various types of crises. You | |
| can find comparative examples from history and use these to | |
| support your case defending socialism. | |

| United States with capitalist system can resulting much | |
| revenues. But socialist nations like Cuba, Islamic Emirate of | |
| Afghanistan and North Korea have stagnant economy. That is the | |
| most often thing which argued by the capitalist progressive. My | |
| answer is, the socialist nation always struggle to make all | |
| people live sufficient. When the capitalist nation always | |
| struggle to enhance profits which generated from the | |
| conglomerates's high quality business and services, which needs | |
| to destroy the markets of small business and small services. | |
| Which it makes many of low class people suffer from bankruptcy | |
| and not got a good job. And unfair economic society always | |
| exist. And also, the capitalist nations usually attack both | |
| military and economically to the nation whom they want to prey, | |
| for the sake make a profit from gaining another natural | |
| resources from them unethically. So, capitalist nation, whether | |
| they can exist longer, they not deserve to live, they live from | |
| evilness and evil natural law. Rather than socialist nations | |
| which always fall during it's duty to saving people from debt | |
| and complex competition living on several years after gain | |
| power. They deserve to be revive again and again. That is my | |
| answer. What about your answer? | |
| Ottoman Islamic Caliphate deserves to be revived | |
| Sukarnoist Nusantara deserves to be revived | |
| National Socialism deserves to be revived | |

| "stagnant economy" | |
| A stagnant economy is not a bad thing. It certainly makes more | |
| sense than a constantly growing economy as capitalism expects. | |
| "Stagnant" is a loaded term intended to convey a negative | |
| impression; we should simply call it a static economy. This | |
| means total productivity is fixed, which is normal in an | |
| agrarian economy, since productivity is limited by the total | |
| quantity of farmland (irrespective of how many workers are | |
| working on it). This is what we should stick to on principle | |
| even in an industrial economy. Once everyone is adequately | |
| supplied with basic products, do not try to create new jobs by | |
| producing extra products! Instead, if there are unemployed | |
| people, simply split an existing shift into multiple shorter | |
| shifts, so that they can be staffed by more people (but working | |
| fewer hours each). Capitalism will never use this approach | |
| because there is no profit incentive for it, but in socialism it | |
| is common sense because it divides labour more evenly. | |

| If you criticize the capitalist, usually to the people with | |
| businessman background who like more profit everyday. They will | |
| consider you as "toxic people with negative thinking and a | |
| losers". That is their answer, no logical and knowledge, only | |
| sarcasm. That is the problem. They don't want to realize and | |
| confess your ironclad truth | |

| IK this topic (like Re: Dress Decolonization topic from | |
| Questions and Debates board) was also started by kameradbaren | |
| (now guest30) to debate with 90sRF, but I thought my question in | |
| this topic would also also be faith to etymology as the question | |
| I had on the other topic I asked. | |
| In faith to the capitalism and business topic here, here's my | |
| question: | |
| Was business and marketing from the Counterculture-era (since | |
| the 1980s) more agriculture based and settled compared to the | |
| 2001-present? | |
| I understand the purpose of agriculture was not to attract more | |
| people but to make labor easier, but comparing a method of | |
| finding a settled area where individuals would go back | |
| (Neolithic method) with a method of hunting for | |
| individuals/groups to try to influence them to go to the area | |
| (non-Neolithic method), would you prefer the Neolithic method to | |
| the non-Neolithic? Also, do names for those methods already | |
| exist? Because I would like to know. | |

| We need both the area and the individuals, so it doesn't make | |
| sense to choose between them. Also, what you are talking about | |
| has nothing to do with Neolithic/non-Neolithic. | |

| I just thought it would suit the agricultural worldview, due to | |
| how a more settled area (like a farm) is more consistent than | |
| targeting every individual to come. | |
| And about the graph, It says there were more imported goods and | |
| services in post-Counterculture era, which had less to do with | |
| serving the local folk and more to do with throwing its goods | |
| and services to people who don't settle in that area. | |
| I believe businesses grew during post-Counterculture era due to | |
| practices like targeting, which tribally chooses an in-group, | |
| even if it meant excluding the out-group. There's also more | |
| streaming. Back then there were Yellow Pages, Print Ads, TV | |
| Commercials, etc. where they didn't need each customer's | |
| accounts or identities to favor their interests. People didn't | |
| need to know what exactly an individual was into in order to get | |
| to know them. | |
| There has also been a marketing practice since Counterculture | |
| era (which is more art related) called: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_gig | |
| Which suits the idea of settling in an area to promote a good or | |
| service. Though it's unexpected and temporary, then again: | |
| "We need both the area and the individuals" | |
| With Guerrilla gigs, you didn't need to sustainably occupy the | |
| area. Street performers also don't occupy the area they perform | |
| at. | |
| "what you are talking about has nothing to do with | |
| Neolithic/non-Neolithic." | |
| Sure the methods might've not been from the Neolithic, but | |
| settling in an area to serve its people fairly (like farms do | |
| when serving its folk) is better than going up to a target | |
| audience and favoring certain people (like hunters do searching | |
| for food). | |
| What kind of business methods do you think were practiced during | |
| Counterculture era and what kinds were practiced during | |
| post-Counterculture era? | |

| Economic Explanations | |

| Free market means free to buy, sell, and produce. therefore the | |
| money will tend to circulate toward the people whose products | |
| are popular with the consumer, not to all producers, even though | |
| the other producers also have good and safe products/services. | |
| Such phenomena result in economic inequity, unhealthy social | |
| living because of competition to attract consumers and thwart | |
| other producers, and distrust between the failed people and the | |
| people who succeed in economic struggle. | |
| Such things will affect our living behavior too, we tend to | |
| easily get triggered when other people achieve things more than | |
| we got. In the competition, people tend to not share with others | |
| because they do not want others to gain power from stuff they | |
| already share, if it happens, they will easily get outcompeted. | |
| They will do whatever makes them win, including damaging other | |
| people's reputations and abilities, it can be done through | |
| bullying, harassing, and spreading fake news about people whom | |
| we want to lose | |
| Western economic way of life (market mechanism and capitalism) | |
| is inferior | |
