More about the repugnants and their anti left matra

Most obvious to me is the scare campaign about the left

So you're suggesting the 90% of the electorate are dumbasses. Yeah nah.

Regardless, they're using the 'ideology' tactic. Every tab you click on has the agenda of 'tha scary left'. It's not really a productive ploy to get the bulk of the electorate on board, coz anyone with a modicum of intelligence will immediately see the agenda, whether it's money or...

Change of topic. I've come across this, the repugnants are going down the boogeyman left mantra again, just like 2016. Talk about rent free! https://www.project2025.org/ So my question is, is this a ploy to scare their patriot base to gather votes or are the repugnants actually really scared...

And?

So you've got money and pay tax, got it.

Then how do you pay for your internet, considering you've got no money, or do you have money?

Ah the Greens, always noble in sentiment but rarely if ever practical in resolution or if indeed they have a solution at all. It's just 'make the govt. do it'

Exactly. Now tell me I should label capitalism as the cause and not the enabler.

Of course, yet time and again people talk like this economic model is the cause, it isn't, greed is the cause, the model just enables it. Which is what I've been saying all along, and posters want to debate what the definition is instead of the pertinent bit^.

Greed, something we both, and basically everyone else would (or should) agree on. But no one mentions that, it's 'capitalism is the cause' Economic models are enablers, NOT the cause.

No it doesn't, it enables them, there is a distinct difference. Capitalism is NOT sentient. I've never disagreed with this, this is the cause, not a non sentient economic model. Again, it's an enabler NOT the cause. Ok, this maybe semantic, none the less labeling a non sentient economic...

Maybe read this again. Again, that's not the point I'm making, the point I'm making is that it seems the narrative is that a non sentient economic model is the cause of our current monopoly situation. It isn't. Sure, it enables monopoly, but it is not the cause, the cause is greed which barely...

I get that competition is at odds with pure profit making. Then yes I guess the definition is incorrect. Multiple posters have been trying to tell me that it's not the definition, but 'competition in a free market' has been widely used to define it by many economists. It's not my definition...

Competition is meant to occur in capitalism, to make profit among other competitors in a free market. As for the rest of your post, I totally agree, monopolies happen because of greed, not just because economic models or capitalism enables them, which seems to be the popular narrative. I have...

Good to have you back Horse!:horseracing:

Then why are people contesting the original definition? Haven't seen anyone attributing blame to actual humans that are actually profiteering / gouging not in the spirit of capitalism. Apart from below.:arrowdown: Tell me this narrative doesn't exist. And where have I said different to this...

Oh yes JB of the greatest intellect ever known to humanity. How could I not see my failings? Apologies everyone, JB has spoken. Not gonna apologize for my sarcasm. Get off ya high horse JB.

Lol, mock away Leon. Don't see you mocking those that somehow see a non sentient economic model as something to place guilt on, which is the whole point. If you all wanna go down that path, well then you all deserved to be mocked.

Never ever said or even alluded it was flawless, ever, in fact I have stated it is flawed in this thread. Yet I'm an emotional fanboi:rolleyes: I'm not ranting and raving, I keep replying to incorrect posts. Stop replying and I'll stop replying. Are you willing to admit, that the model is...

* me indeed! We've gone round and round in circles to end up in, yep, you're blaming capitalism. That doesn't make me a fanboi at all, I keep replying because you and everyone else keep bunkering down blaming it like it has an evil intent. It's non *n sentient ffs! If you wanna blame, blame...

So tell me that the narrative isn't 'it's capitalism's fault' Blame the aholes, not some non sentient economic model.

And Not sure how you come to this conclusion Ummm no, not sure how you come to this conclusion. Not sure how many times, I have to explain it. Competition in a free market < that is its purpose. That does not equate that intervention to regulate IS capitalism, regulation is required to...

Yep, not capitalism.

Well if it were 'entirely free' then we'd have monopolies wouldn't we. Oh wait................ Edit, I'm not saying there isn't regulation, I'm saying it's weak and not in the spirit of capitalism.

Nah uh, never ever stated this. What I stated in that thread that there is anti capitalism, not self loathing. There is certainly self loathing against liberal democracy

Do yourself a favour and re read the definition of capitalism, if you can't get the epiphany from that then no one can help you.

Then we're in agreement. And as we move to a higher tech world of massive multinational corporations there is becoming less competition in a free market. ^ How many times do I have to explain this is NOT the purpose of capitalism? You're confusing terms, 'capitalism' is NOT this. You're...
