I actually don't believe you. $1 difference in petrol price and people still go to the expensive one? You'd have to be a moron surely

Right, but the in order for the other station to not go out of business they have to match. But are incentivised to beat that price by a further 10c to increase the amount of business they get See where I'm going?

Only if the price is actually increasing. Otherwise you'd just sell cheap petrol and put them out of business

If you don't have any scripts that rely on branch name it should be pretty trivial actually. But I wouldn't be shocked if you had a few dozen scripts that nobody has looked at in the last century lol

Isn't this only the case in github? All my repos are based from master, and I would assume that's because I init on the command line and push up to the remote?

See that isn't very consistent is it? If you hold non voting stock you can't vote on company decisions. But the company does now need to pay you a dividend, which according to you would be immoral as it would mean a third party is profiting from their labour correct?

I can't find any solid evidence for this Pakistan claim. I see that an anonymous source reached out to one outlet, but I haven't found anything to corroborate Seems a bit tenuous thus far. Do you have any evidence you've seen in particular?

That is a wholly unsatisfactory response

Firstly capitalism does work, it is extremely efficient at what it does which is allocating capital, which I've never heard of a good alternative. Central planning seems pretty trash as an alternative example But where "capitalism" falls over isn't to do with it at all. Capitalism is an economic system, it doesn't dictate anything about how we setup things like welfare or even ubi if you want. Look at Europe, seems pretty chill to me in a lot of countries that are capitalist

Right so you would make any other structure of company illegal. I don't like that particularly, but from your moral system I get it. But then we probably have a fundamental disagreement there that can't be resolved easily

What really annoys me about socialists/communists is you always want to handwave your bullshit system. You don't even know how to start a business under your system but want to advocate for it! Being better than a moronic Marxist in this respect doesn't excuse you of understanding what your system entails Also please don't tell me to do my own research on your proposed system, you should be able to explain if you want entire countries to switch economic models

In what world are those imperialist projects? Can you qualify that in some way? Let's go with 1, say Pakistan

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (5 children)

What imperialism is America doing currently?

But besides that, even if your nation is doing imperialist things surely you would agree that maintaining an army to not get your country absolutely destroyed by any other country at any time is valid

Right, but why do you require every person in the country to work under a co-op? Is it not enough to let them choose?

In your socialist society if a group of people agreed that they would like to set up businesses under a different model what would you do?

And further, if you're calling for an enormous change to the way we structure our economy then shouldn't you be able to articulate how that system will work?

How do you get your initial capital to start the co-op? Like you can't have investors, so is every worker required to buy in the the initial venture?

By the way you are entirely free to structure companies this way under a social democracy
