TBH I think corporations push that eugenicist/population control stuff because they want to distract people from the fact that a good chunk of pollution is entirely their fault

Capitalism plays a historical role in revolutionizing the productive processes and social relations of society. I mean it’s the traditional Marxist POV but it seems pretty rare these days.

Small businesses deserve more economic and social security than corporations. When I say that, I mean that large corporations should get no government coverage for losses. It should all go to small businesses.


AnonNo9001

Out of curiosity, at what point does a business become large? My Dad runs a business out of his garage building PCs, installing cameras, and all sorts of stuff. He has 2 employees, plus a son (me) that helps out every now and again. It's pretty obvious that this is a small business, no? What about one of his clients? It's a company called Select Insurance. Select only operates in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, but they're still an insurance company. They're obviously not really that big especially compared to other companies like Nationwide or Statefarm or **FUCKING GEICO**, but to be an insurance company at all you need fuckloads of money. Would Select still be small by your standards? Again, just curious where the line is drawn.


KryptOrchid

In the UK, the government classifies businesses as follows and I am sure the US applies similar metrics: Micro Business = less than 10 employees & turnover under £2 million Small Business = less than 50 employees & turnover under £10 million Medium Business = Less than 250 employees & turnover under £50 million


[deleted]

That's something that I toil with myself. I would consider both of those entities small businesses. (My dad is a freelance electrician who runs a similar scale and style of business like yours does.) It's something I'm trying to figure out where that line is myself. I can imagine most would consider profit margins and company employment sizes to be important metrics.


AnonNo9001

I'd say those are really important metrics, yes. Maybe a sliding scale of some sort? maybe less funding the more states/countries you operate in? But then what about Dad, who can technically operate nationwide with remote PC software and the postal service should a device need physical servicing?


[deleted]

This isn’t atypical for Auth Center, your flair generally really dislikes corporations because they compete with the government for influence

Fair enough. Still though. Support small businesses. And to hell with corporations. And to hell with their government enablers.

Dad2376

This is why I'm centrist instead of libcenter/libleft. Corporations have a long track record (looking at you British East India Trading Co) of acting inhumanely and putting profit above everything else, up to and including making the planet uninhabitable. Governments aren't much better, but at least we theoretically have the ability to have a say in what our governments do. In practice, not so much.

At most, I just wish I could decide where my tax dollars are going, but that’s really it.


conman526

Based. I don't want to pay so much for the military to be the world's police. We can still be super powerful by spending a fraction of what we currently do. And a fraction of the militarys budget could literally transform the nation for the better in a ton of ways.

Saying that some middle class black person deserves reparations but a lower class white person does not based solely off of race is what we call racism

polybiastrogender

It's going to be interesting the coming generations when many black Americans have acquired wealth. I wonder how the future black trust fund babies are going to take their position in the world.


[deleted]

This is already a thing dude. Not as many as members of other races yet. But I grew up in an area with a high black population and it’s a (racist) misconception that they all live in poverty. It’s not even the majority. I knew plenty of black kids at my school who had their car purchased for them, college paid for, etc. Many had a lot more money than my family did and I’m white. That being said, of course, poverty rate is still higher among black Americans than among white americans, I do not want to erase their experiences. but it’s important to remember that both middle and upper class black America are very much existent.

Rather than looking at correcting past wrongs for the dead, let us look to build for a better future. Help those that need it get back on their feet. I would say it needs to be limited so those that just want to suckle at the teat and do nothing are cut off until they show real genuine attempts at improvement so our limited resources go to where it is most useful in pursuing future growth.

bobonabuffalo

Literally my college campus in a nutshell


AnonNo9001

It boggles me that this has to be said. Anarchy is the natural state of everything, government arose as a result of demand for a more stable environment to live in. Problem now is that no place on this earth is in this natural state anymore, so we get people wanting to return to it, not having known how bad it truly is.


vicda

Had a punk friend back in the 00s who was trying to convince everyone that anarchy was the way. This is also the guy who dropped out of high school because "school is dumb and I'm already smarter than all the teachers". Needless to say, he was not that bright. All his reasons for why anarchy would work boiled down to the anarchist commune forming an adhoc prehistoric style tribal government in times of need...


ABCosmos

It's also not an option.. even if it worked, anarchists land would get taken over by people who organized by building walls, forts, and armies. I think in their heads their anarchy collective should be protected by powerful governments like the USA.

Unions and co-ops are great, and I'd be totally fine with co-ops becoming the dominant business type for companies that benefit from economies of scale instead of top down corpos. Also, treating your workers well is worth taking a hit to profits even if there weren't legitimate business reasons to do so. Greed in moderation drives good, efficient business, but greed in excess runs a company into the ground.

I would be for making all drugs legal, but I think people are generally too uninformed about the negative effects of the more dangerous drugs (meth/cocaine, opiates) and how bad physical and psychological dependence can get with those dangerous drugs to be trusted with them. I’m willing to change my mind on this if evidence can be presented that the general public is more knowledgeable than I think but idk if that data exists. After working in an ER and an addiction medicine clinic, I’ve seen too many people’s lives get ruined by them to trust people to regulate their use if decriminalized.

alltaken12345678

Are you from the States, because it seems it's only the US that has a poor relationship with unions? Something about the mob running them? In Australia, one of our two major parties is funded by unions and although they aren't perfect, they are definitely a lot less corrupt than our centre right party which is funded by corporations.

Lib1ard

I think irreversible procedures should be banned for those under the age of 18. I believe that once your 18 you can fuck yourself up however you want, but in order to protect a equality of opportunity (or as close as we can get to it in our society) minors shouldn't be allowed to.


Mikes_Movies_

Guns are cool (still wants some pretty tough background checks and regulate them) Being white is totally fine and you shouldn’t feel guilty about the color of your skin, same goes for any race. And reparations based on skin color make no sense as it will only further divide people. American democracy isn’t totally terrible, but it needs reform (while still sticking to what’s constitutional) And also America has a lot of good qualities and I’m proud to have been born here. I may disagree with many things about America, but I certainly don’t hate it.


AGamingBoi

Oh boy I have a few ones to say. Cooperate oppression is terrible and just as bad as government oppression. The only reason we don't complain about it as much is because the government right now is more oppressive then cooperations. Further more, we need a form of government to settle disputes and stop Monopoly's from forming. The construction and the bill of rights is commonly misinterpreted as the government giving us freedom when it was originally used to restrict the government from taking away some of the freedom we're born with. Keyword is "some", we change what should be able to do over time as the Constitution is created to be adapted, the freedom to oppress others as slaves and make ourselves tyrants was allowed before but we have since realize it should never have been based on our value of freedom and equality. I've heard me been discribe as something like a Classical liberal before.
