Liberal Hypocrisy by Oba-maoin Libertarian

[–]bushwakko 1 point2 points ago

I was just saying that the private property institution helps rich people more. if you disagree, tell me why or you could just call me an idiot.

[–]bushwakko -5 points-4 points ago

all rich people are benefiting from the private property institution, taxation is a poor mechanism to try to alleviate it. the solution is to remove pp as well.

If the rich like Warren Buffet and Stephen King want to pay more in taxes, why don't they just go ahead and do it? : politics by jason-samfieldin geopolitics

[–]bushwakko 1 point2 points ago

them paying taxes won't make even a dent on anything, it will also lessen their power and relative wealth compared to others. So bottom line, they don't want to be comparatively poorer. It's never a good idea to play by the rules of another system while not in that system.

This is like when capitalists ask communists questsions like "if you like the gift economy so much, why don't you give all your things away". The answer is obviously, that giving all your things away is not a gift economy and will leave you broke.

How God looks to an Athiest reading the Bible by sulrisin atheism

he did say he was a theist, not necessarily this specific god.

[–]bushwakko 1 point2 points ago

because it's not about them personally having to much money, it's about them wanting a more egalitarian society. One rich guy being less rich isn't going to help towards that.

Why are employees wage slaves but employers not? by Raiancapin Anarchy101

[–]bushwakko 10 points11 points ago

It's not so much about the whims of their employer, it's about the employer taking part of the value of your labour as profit. Think of slavery as someone extracting 100% of the value as profits, any other percentage except 0 is wage slavery. This isn't volunatry if your option is starve or be employed.

Can you have socialism/communism and retain a market mechanism? by jbenunivin DebateaCommunist

[–]bushwakko 2 points3 points ago

Markets or central planning is a false dichotomy. ideas like ParEcon etc. have a distributed planning mechanism for example.

An anarchic society, what's in it for me? by watabitin Anarchy101

[–]bushwakko 5 points6 points ago

Also, I do believe a society where people cooperate instead of compete, will bring forth much bigger breakthroughs in much more important areas than today. Pharmaceutical industries will focus on cures and low hanging fruits instead of medecine that are patentable, doesn't cure and is expesnive. All information will be free, no IP or copyrights. In a society without lower classes, crime will be way down. The unproductive parts of the world will be helped into productivity through this collaboration etc. This is from the top of my head though, and there are definitely more benefits!

"Patents and copyright have ceased to promote scientific innovation and have become weapons of mass destruction." by killyourfmin technology

[–]bushwakko 0 points1 point ago

patents is just a financial tool to be able to recoup costs later and take risks privately. one solution would be to have to finance the costs per hour like other services. Finance the work in advance and you'll get a much more accurate payment model as well. If someone works n hours to create something, they get payed for n hours. While you now might work 10 hours to create something and become a billionaire by a government granted monopoly.
