First, you need to be reminded it is what the Bible says that counts. You are dabbling in the old liberal game of "what it means." Sister Bass pointed you to scripture about owning slaves. Those passages tell us straight out that if one owns slaves and other property, is a rich person, God has blessed him. God has given him a prepaid passage to heaven. Jesus tells us clearly in the passage you refer to that it is difficult to become rich. Think how difficult it was for President Trump to become a billionaire. He went through bankruptcies and did not pay people who did inferior work. So, Crack-in-Head, please spare us your misguided sermons. |

If you've ever done something and then said "What a waste of time, all that effort and now I've got nothing to show for it" - that's a lack of profit. In capitalism you are kept safely out of the way. In leftist systems, you end up in charge of something, and now you're wasting other people's effort and leaving nothing to show for it. Quote:

Take Polish porn. You take sex, something people will do for free, and you do it in front of a camera that you already have. No costs, little effort, and yet you end up with something valuable - Polish porn. That's profit. When you hear the word "profit", think Polish porn. In fact, it's so profitable that you download it for free, yet they still keep making more. So if you like free stuff, support capitalism. Quote:

Re: What does exploitation mean? A commie VS cappie debate.
It is evident to me that nobody here understand Marx, and that includes my friend Peter.First of all, exploitation occurs. It is when you produce something for others. And it happens both in Capitalist and Communist societies. And it is ok that it happens. It is the effect of working.
Problem is who gets the profit of this exploitation. For example: when in a hypothetic communist Arab country, some workers go everday to the oil exploitation, and make billions a day in profit, you are not expecting that they get billions every day, aren't you? If so, no worker would want to work in a, let's say, shoe shop, for cents a day. This would create a new class of uber rich, while mantaining the rest of society in poverty. So who gets the benefits of exploitation is the real question. In capitalist countries, it is the owner of the company. Mostly other companies (investments firms) but also mom & pops who own little business are getting more than what they work for, if they have employees. In bureaucratic pseudo communist countries, the bureaucrats get it. Like the Castro in Cuba, and the CP in China. In a communist society, the profit is evenly divided among all the society and becomes common property, and workers together decide the destination of it. But exploitation occurs in every society there is. Even Sundar Pichai is exploited by Google, and you would not tell by the car(s) he drives. |

I wonder if the "resource curse" is not a real thing, it's just that when you have oil, you also usually need a dictatorship ruthless enough to crush the inevitable separatists. That's politics for you. Politics makes people dumb. Dumb dumb politics. Which brings us to... Quote:
Politics. Politics. Politics. We need less politics, not more. When you have needs that you want satisfied, where do you go for quicker results? City hall or a shopping mall? Pennsylvania Avenue or a hipster boutique street? Quote:

Consider that an average grocery store in a capitalist country has 40,000 items, for sale every day. Now imagine if instead of that, we voted every 2 years on what everybody will eat for breakfast. There's only two parties: the burnt-toast party and the cold gruel party. That's the difference between commerce and politics. That is why we want as much of life as possible to be moved from the realm of politics to the realm of commerce, and not the other way around. |

In politics, in punditry, in academia, there is great value attached to consistency. Changing your mind risks loss of face. Your ability to deliver plausible generalizations counts for a lot. There is social pressure to adopt the dominant frame of thought.... [Commerce] actively rewards heterogeneity of thought. The more prevalent a belief is among your competitors, the greater the gains to be had from disproving it. When everyone else zigs, it pays to zag." This is why the clever-but-useless class attack the merchant class for being meanies - instead of trying to be polite and go along with the herd, business is all about standing out and zagging even though the current fashion is to zig. |
