yogthos OP , 4 months ago to memes in How capitalism works

You literally believe in trickle down economics because that’s what capitalism fundamentally is. The boss you employs your dumb ass appropriates all the value that you produce, then pays you a small portion of that value in form of salary. That’s the system where you don’t get benefit of your labor.

Since you evidently don’t understand the concept of cooperative ownership. That’s a system where all the workers own the business together and share the profits in equitable manner. Meanwhile, it’s pretty hilarious that you think communism doesn’t work given that China is pretty much the only place in the world where the standard of living is rapidly improving. Meanwhile, it’s declining in all the capitalist hellholes.

Can’t wait for you to reply with another banger.

How can I opt out of the government if its not a monopoly?

Please learn what words government and monopoly mean before attempting to use them in sentence.

When you talk about all the money doesnt just go to the rich, there is more wealth created and you have the option to accumulate wealth or trade it to others.

Imagine still believing in trickle down economics. 😂

Do you understand how what you are advocating for will just make everyone poorer?

Workers retaining the profits of their labor makes them more poor is the dumbest take I’ve seen in a while. Maybe spend a bit of time educating yourself instead of trolling online.

If Nuland promising to do acts of terrorism in Russia isn’t enough for you to put two and two together then there’s no helping you.

In what way has Russia chosen to brush off the warning? Meanwhile, any proxy group can claim responsibility, the fact that you treat that as some sort of evidence says volumes. One of your regime’s top ghouls went on TV and promised to conduct acts of terrorism in Russia. Now we’re seeing acts of terrorism being conducted in Russia. These are the facts of the situation.

The fact that internet trolls are now trying to paint this as a conspiracy theory is just the repeat of the Nord Stream nonsense. Your regime is famous for doing precisely these sorts of attacks buddy.

Weird how ISIS never attacks Israel.

yogthos , 4 months ago to worldnews in Gunmen in combat fatigues fire on Moscow concert hall crowds, killing and wounding several people

That means absolutely nothing, also ISIS is a puppet terrorist organization that the CIA operates.

Government is not a monopoly the government is a management organization that resolves differences between capitalists. Meanwhile, if you can’t understand how capitalist monopolies cause harm then you’re beyond help. The whole climate crisis is caused by capitalist monopolies, just one example for you.

I think you have fundamental mistake in that you seem to believe that the economy is a zero sum game but its just not how it works. The only zero sum game that I am worried about is the control of our rights with the governmnet.

That literally has nothing to do with what I said which is that the economy works in the interest of the people who own capital, and these are the same people the government represents. You don’t even understand what the government is apparently.

What specifically is it that you want peoples lives to look like?

I want people to own the means of production. I want all businesses to be run as a mix of state owned enterprise and worker owned cooperatives. The state enterprise is good at providing common things everyone needs like healthcare, infrastructure, housing, and so on. These are things that need to be done regardless of profit motive. Meanwhile, private sector that’s owned by the workers is great at providing all the things where profit motive acts as a motivator. This isn’t rocket science.

Oh they definitely ask the people in China. Government runs mass surveys of public opinion when deciding on the 5 year plans, and there’s also massive public participation in the government itself. China has 1.4 Billion citizens, and CPC has 90 million members. This comes out to 15.5 citizens to every party member. So, every person in China either personally knows a party member or related to a party member. That’s why the government in China enjoys mass public support and approval the likes of which is unseen anywhere in the west. It’s a government of the people and for the people.

You can’t solve a problem using the same methodology that created it in the first place.

yogthos OP , 4 months ago to programmerhumor in How to regex

Sure, learning basics of regex is not that hard, but complex regex expressions can easily become impenetrable. I actually like the verbal expressions idea where you write out the regex using a long form and that gets compiled into the actual regex, e.g:

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">const </span><span style="color:#323232;">tester </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">= </span><span style="color:#323232;">VerEx()
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .startOfLine()
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .then(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'http'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .maybe(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'s'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .then(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'://'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .maybe(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'www.'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .anythingBut(</span><span style="color:#183691;">' '</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .endOfLine();
</span>

That seems like the best of both world approach to me.

I’m doing no such thing. Capitalist competition necessarily leads to monopolies because successful businesses grow and as they grow it takes increasingly more up front investment to compete with them. On top of it they can just undercut small businesses or buy them out. The game of monopoly is a perfect illustration of how capitalism works. Everybody starts on equal footing, and at the end of the game one players owns everything. That’s how capital concentration happens in real life under the capitalist dynamics.

Meanwhile, the government represents the interests of the class that holds power in society and passes laws in their interest. Under capitalism it’s the capital owning class. These are the people who own the media, pay for election campaigns, lobbying, and so on. And it’s not just me saying this. Here’s what a study analyzing many decades of US policy concludes:
