Capitalist Corruption

this is offensive.

I didn't disagree with you. Rather I called out your false statements and asked you to back them up.

You posted references that did not support your statements and after correcting you, you persisted. That is when I thought you were posting drunk or drugged. There is no doubt I was not subtle in asking if you were OK, as I truly believed you were on drugs.

Please stop making false statements regarding "poverty" as mental health is not an excuse.
There's an arrogance that you've never quite managed to justify that assumes there's something wrong with anyone that disagrees with you.

Let’s get this clear. CM isn’t disagreeing here, he’s posting false and malicious statements.

What's wrong with arrogance?

I believe anti Vaxer's, Trump supporters and most western educated religious people are simple because their logical conclusions or lack thereof implies this to be true. Is there something wrong with that?

To try and get this thread back on topic, a little.


This is a deep and interesting position on capitalism and what IS exploitation (and its relationship to capitalism).
Good for a listen in the background.




That was a good summary ….


There are so many triggers that capitalism uses to prevent workers gaining a fair share now…

Especially the way extra capital in the form of money is created through privately owned banks and how tax payers and workers have to foot the bill when things go wrong is criminal.

There is very little risk for capitalists in the current economic system…

Limited liability Companies. Privatize the profits, socialize the loses.

Capitalism the framework which makes entrepreneurs to make a bet where they get the profits but society will wear the losses.

It also allows corporations to set up fall guy companies that have no assets but are legally responsible if anything bad happens, but some other entity will get all the profits, but none of the risk.

End Limited liability companies, End companies owning and controlling other companies. Direct simple lines of responsibility. If you take the profit you should be liability for the loses. Each and every shareholder should be accountable for the losses of the company. If you takle the process you should be liable for the losses.

The Ability to take profits and make money secure that others will have to play for your losses is fundamentally corrupt.

pugs, this is not how or why or what limited liability companies are

if a bank loans money to a bank or a company, they get a return. this return can be a set interest rate, a royalty, an equity kicker or even 100% of the profits. Should a loan provider be responsible for losses, given they don't have control over management, operations or day to day decisions?

Limited liability companies don't socialise the losses. Limited liability (which includes Pty Ltd) simply means there is no further call on shareholders for capital. No different to a bank not having to provide more capital.

What is your thoughts on No Liability companies?

Corporations "set up a fall guy" is an issue for dodgy operators but this has finally been recognised and the courts look back and through in these circumstances.


f you take a step back, the concept of a limited liability company is an important one for society and allowed the emergence of middle class.

Loans are loans not investments or ownership, do not raise smoke screens and irrelevances. limited liability shields the owners for full responsibility of the losses of a company. It does not limit their profits.

Limited liability passes losses onto society rather than the owners.

Courts have no ended dodgy bunsiness practices which remain quite successful, complex structures more liabilities, and taxes all the time. Successfuly in the main. Corouts and laws have attempted to reduce this, but to claim they have been sucessful in supressing these practices is simply not true.
