Lurker > Broseph_Stalin

I feel like Brosephs response to my post pretty much confirms he inherited some sort of wealth within the last couple years lmao.

it's interesting that you exclude the drought that actually started the famine as an actual cause of it

-how are you defining quality of life?
-according to your metrics for quality of life, what data are you using that suggests it has actually increased?

If capitalists understood economics they wouldnt be capitalists.

Did a communist fuck Brosephs girlfriend or did he suddenly get a trust fund that kicked in because Im trying to make sense of his change in politics over the years

the biggest difference is that I did not do any historical revisionism to defend a mass murderer, while your statement was, in fact, untrue

1. The 1932 soviet famine was started by farmers and not years worth of forced collectivization, grain seizures, government quotes and mass deportation/execution of farmers.
2. The quality of life for the average person has seen a massive increase within the last 200 years.

Capitalism good because I said so

this is objectively false

the only people who argue that "you've never taken a HS economics course" are those who have either taken a HS econ course and kinda leave it at that, or profit mildly from the capitalist economy and think they're potential big winners in the making

But hey he called me a simp 50 times so he must know better. lol

they're all going to come far north and turn oregon/washington into california prices for housing. it's already happening around here.

It will eventually get cleaned up when the rich people start leaving

all this broseph stalin character does is come into left topics and sling shit at the people in them.

Hey heres the audiobook of Malcolm Xs Autobiography but since its on YouTube youre an idiot if you watch it. Same goes for any YouTube video ever used by a professor as part of a demonstration or discussion.

Arent I intelligent?

which wouldn't be an issue, but they are also taking their terrible politics with them.

You are so full of shit that it physically hurts to read your posts sometimes

1. Those to be shot or imprisoned as decided by the local secret political police
2. Those to be sent to Siberia, the North, the Urals or Kazakhstan, after confiscation of their property
3. Those to be evicted from their houses and used in labor colonies within their own districts

Yeah I hardly blame Stalin for the kulaks being selfish assholes.

As a reminder this dude has made no attempt to address the criticism, instead reverting to personal attacks and attacks against socialism, which was never brought up in the OP.

Capitalists constantly innovate the means of production at all costs. The amount of labor needed then decreases, profits increase, and the number of workers who are unemployed or forced to work under horrible conditions grows.

Lol

So the concept of the reserve army of labor doesnt exist because you dont want it to.

I dont get my political opinions from YouTubers

I like to present materials along with my topics to aid discussion

I love how I make a topic exposing the dark side of Capitalism and yall are like BUT WHAT ABOUT STALIN HOOP DOOP

some of the central tenets that economics holds to be true are also just complete bs. things like:
-people behave rationally

Not if you take into account, loans, interest, and opportunity cost. And yes I am refuting your point because it's wrong and stupid.

What a stupid way to invest. You usually only get one degree. You don't make calculations based on what the "average" degree is worth, you make them based on what YOUR degree is worth. This isn't rocket science.

That includes people who graduated college decades ago. It says nothing about how many people go to college "these days", as the aforequoted puts it.

Almost everyone nowadays goes to college.

Most colleges are extremely overpriced, a ton of "degrees" offered are completely useless, a lot of graduates never get jobs in the fields they got degrees in, a lot of grads never get a monetary return for their "education" and a lot of degrees are not even objective

The average student loan debt upon graduation is around $30k. But you're twice as likely to find a job as a high school graduate and median incomes for college graduates are $20k higher than high school graduates. College is the best investment you can make.

Pffffffffff ha

College is adult kindergarten with some children so fragile that universities needed safe spaces with play-doh and puppies after Trump was elected.

They're good in concept but in execution they're financially crippling everyone

I think it's interesting that one of the default arguments whenever problems with capitalism are brought up is that people are "economically illiterate." Happens a lot when people talk about Bernie Sanders and his policies

It's not that people dont understand these things, it's that they think they're bullshit and need to change

By what rational metric does this make sense?

He and Steyer are unintentionally making excellent arguments for a wealth tax.

Im still really confused. Are these riots unwarranted and being carried out by morons?

Yeah, people are rioting because wages are rising and poverty is declining and the metro fare went 4 cents higher which they can no longer afford with their rising wages.

Oh? Please, enlighten the rest of us, then. What's the cause?

not as much as tax-doding slumlords kicking people out of their homes and using residential buildings as hotels
