You say that as though most of our species wouldn't do that for it's own sake without even bothering with economic system-motivated BS as an excuse. ...I certainly would, that much is certain, though I hold them and just about anyone else who is to blame for inequality(intentionally created or otherwise) in utter contempt, so I'm not a good example.

Maybe it's just pools, but Marvel really declined in popularity

Waiting for that Guilty Gear Xrd though.

I really only ever watch Marvel at EVO because you see the really hype matches come out. Last year's EVO was sick for the game.

I should consider getting into GGXrd, game looks fun.

Maybe the opinion of someone who actually knows what they're doing would be better than mine, but it's a great game. If you enjoy P4A Blazblue or any anime fighter you'll most likely enjoy GGXrd.

Speaking of better than me, I should really practice. I mash way too many buttons and drop more combos than I should.

You can **** the idle rich and have capitalism, it's called employee owned cooperative companies.

Still very much private ownership of the means of production, just a less stifling version of it since you are personally invested in the business' success. And there are plenty of examples where it has worked as a model.

I'm sure you're against this somehow though because of some ideology-driven excuse that lacks any form of creative thinking.

What I AM against is emotions and sentiments ruling while economic truth goes by the wayside.
Creative thinking is welcome, but no amount of creative thinking can break these facts.
See the difference in perspective? I'd maneuver all my claims to be on the side of truth, you would maneuver to frame my responses as ideology-driven excuses as opposed to having practical or realistic reasons. The best course of action is to drop all the posturing.
Enough of the above: to the real meat.

As to the particular effectiveness of a given organizational ownership system, economics is clear. If, indeed, the system is superior in that it secures the highest profits (and by profits, it is not meant strictly money), companies will be faced with the choice to either adopt it or inevitably die. Therefore, no use of force is require to reach a better organizational system. Not that the use of force to do this would be moral in the first place, but that's not the realm of economics.
Now, this is true. It necessarily precludes the market from being at fault, the market is not an entity which can somehow do wrong. That would be like saying gravity is wrong, and that we should abolish gravity. There are only three possibilities left to us: either the market is not sufficiently free for more companies to be forced to transition to this superior form, or this form of organization is not the optimal form, or this form of organization is only optimal for certain parts of the market / certain people or companies.

I don't know which of these possibilities it is, so, I'm far from being "against it" in any way, as you seem to be so sure of.

Yeah but these markets aren't just numbers and companies. When something takes a hit due to shifts you can write it off as "companies failing to adapt and dying" and that it's an effective organizational system, but when. Those happen people lose jobs, fall into debt, etc etc.

I think it's rediculous that today's culture treats obessesive hoarding of objects as a mental disease, while when people hoard unnecessary amounts of money they get applauded as leaders of the world and being successful at the cost of others. Captializm works, but has increasing amounts of downsides that just told get talked about or put in history books or schools, because guess what, the people with the money can influence everything and put themselves on positive lights for a time in history.


That said capitalism is the only thing that works in large scale contries. Socialism is the closest to an ideal government/economic system but it only works in small, consentual groups and can't be forced. And if it's only small groups of them they still have to work to survive in the capitalism system outside them and have some sort of product/output.

It's dumb that people can put their own financial stockpiling over helpless people.

Here's an idea. Kill the most problematic of the %1, make examples of them to say in all but words "Get that bad, and the rest of you are next.", redistribute what was once theirs to force the economic gaps to close, and institute laws to prevent scumbags like that from being part of the government/decision-making bodies ever again.
Problems solved.

...Oh wait, we have to obey the law, like they do so dutifully.

Why allow self-serving garbage to live when they will only screw things for everyone else? Just off them all already. /edge
@ Soft Serve Soft Serve >any economic system that allows the rich and powerful to influence governments
>"works"
Pick ONE.

@ Jaedrik Jaedrik how valid is your Non-Agression Principle when the primary violators of it are those rich enough to exploit/enslave/etc anyone else? It's excessively idealistic, to the point that it doesn't actually work. You can have companies powerful enough to rival governments, but then their only allegiance is to their profit margins, not to being an arbiter. Crazy people exist, and sociopathic people exist, and neither of them are actually that uncommon; they frequently can and do get their hands in control of large sums of capital and have no desire to actually help society make progress, only to take advantage of it. You need an entity set-aside from profit margins, and even from their own salaries, and ESPECIALLY from lobbying, to even have a chance of getting something whose goal is to maintain a society where everyone actually benefits drastically from the society they are occupying.

IMO I think it's a better choice then wearing all that neon ****, makes people look like a glow in the dark flashlight

Oh man, I never wore bright neon colors as my regular wardrobe, but I did go through an odd neon edgy teen phase when I was 15. Got a layered, choppy hairstyle, and then proceeded to dye it bright platinum blonde, with streaks of black and long neon purple and green bangs. Looked atrocious. Got asked to prom by a pretty nice guy whilst doing so, so maybe it worked out?
