I'm currently poor and on minimum wage, so I'm voting Labour.
Though if I were rich, I know fine well I'd exploit the poor for profit. Therefore I'd Conservative/Liberal Democrat.
How do I make the transition from a pleb socialist to a master race capitalist?
Can I look forward to this change in my lifetime?
>How do I make the transition from a pleb socialist to a master race capitalist?
You work harder.
fpbp
>so I'm voting Labour.
Yeah, throw away your vote lol
It doesn't work like that. You're only working hard to make your masters richer.
"[Capitalism the unknown ideal."
What?
How?
Start a business.
Or spend the rest of your life like every other socialist pleb.
They are all on the same team. The act of voting means you agree to be part of their deceitful system.
I've been thinking of this idea, it sounds a little scummy but stay with me.
>Start charity
>Make it an awareness charity
>Find a common working class illness/disease
>Campaign and raise money
>Get people who suffer and their family members involved to do my work for free
>At this point, start an advertising agency
>Take money from donations and buy advertising space off myself
>Raise awareness
>Make money
>???
>Profit
No, you work smarter
(and need luck on your side)
>exploit the poor for profit
No, you are and will always be a failure
Kill yourself
Yes, that is scummy.
Its a good idea if you dont care about your soul
>It doesn't work like that.
Capitalism is all about distinguishing yourself from your peers via self-motivation and work ethic. Position and pay aren't things that are gifted to you, they're things you earn through hard work. You apply yourself, develop skills, develop connections, work hard, and eventually you can leverage all that into starting a business of your own.
or nepotism and corruption
they work
But if doing that was the difference between you being poor and rich, would you do it?
uhh... i hope you know that most other non-profits have beat you to the punch.
you also forgot:
-$1 mill a year salary as CEO
-fringe benefits such as a corporate charter jet
-"team-building excursions" to exotic locations.. aka luxurious vacations
and much more.
good start though.
>But I don't WANNA work hard! Can't I just take advantage of poor, sick, and desperate people and con them out of their time and money?
Do the world a favor and kill yourself.
this is almost every single charity
Make it in the name of diversity and integration and you can claim funds by EU and several of it's states. Take a guess what kind of business models want to keep the flow going...
Corbyn is a joke, he's never going to be elected
how poor are we talking?
>Happy poor? (as in not much but live in the country/ comfy place+community, do lots of things and have a nice life but not many holidays and cars and such, live in a nice cottage/ terraced house)
>Boring poor?( lower/lower middle class who take package holidays to spain, live in a barrat new build/ terraced house and have a ford on finance)
Squalid poor? (live in a council house/ small flat/ grotty terraced house and go to poundland, the high point of your week is pub with the lads at the weekend, but youre worried because your 2nd hand car is starting to have problems and your taps need fixing and the carpet is wearing and...)
Starving poor? (you live in a shack/ decaying flat or council house, scrimp by with vouchers and the local food bank, your electricity was cut off and Dan the debt collector took your TV)
It's really not that simple. You think you would exploit the shit out of everyone, but the reality is you probably wouldn't. I'm not saying it's a good thing to even have the skill to do so, but only truly strong people are able to squeeze every bit of work out of an individual with an utter disregard for their well being.
I'm in the position were I could and it would save money, but I cannot. I have neither the strength, the motivation, nor the lack of scruples to transform myself into a Jew.
However, if I were in unfavorable circumstances... I might be driven by desperation and greed.
I guess, but what's the alternative?
What about finding refugees jobs on a doing manual labour? Could that work?
Squalid poor. You've got the nail on the head.
Every charity ever.
Lots get caught by the way.
vote UKIP or BNP
the reason why life sucks in britain is because the pakis and the gyppos are getting benefits
I dunno about that. I live somewhere that's 99.8% white british. It's not really a problem.
Conservatives might improve the economy.
They may even improve it to the point where scum like you can earn a decent wage.
>he fell for the hard work meme.
Good goy, just work harder and you'll be a millionaire some day!
Get off pol, learn programming, get a legitimate degree in cs, work in a top tier software company, make useful connections, convince them to do startup with you, swindle VC PE funds, get your startup bought by bigger companies, hirer lower level programmers, start another company, rinse and repeat
Hop on youtube, watch friedman and sowell.
Capitalism works because people pay you for the benefit they receive from you. If you remain worthless, as you seem to be, you will provide no benefit and will remain poor.
Well if squalid poor, and i really wanted to change my circumstances, i would quite simply just try and move to the countryside/ somewhere better, although it would be difficult to set up with a job first, but easier if i knew a trade.
Or learn a trade, assuming i havent already, then move or not depending on how much better off i am.
If neither of those are possible i would join the army, that gives good benefits an reasonable pay
If that was not possible i would try and move jobs to some public sector job which presumably gave better wages and benefits but wasnt too difficult, like being a train driver.
Or i would try and join a better private sector industry which requires a little more skill and so gives more money, especially if i knew someone could vouch for me.
If i could not do that then i might join a trade union and demand better wages, but i assume this is such a shit job that it would not help much.
If every single option above fails, then i would probably vote for a socialist party in the hopes that i could receive some help to take the pressure off.
If that did not help i would probably give up and join the Church.
I just dont think the notion of doing that to people would ever occur to me, or sit well enough with me for me to try it if i did.
>friedman and sowell
I'm interested in this. They got any good books?
Also consider reading The Ragged Trouser Philanthropists if you're interested in an opposing view of what you've just said.
Vote Conservative.
>t.18 year old conservative/libertarian that has never had a proper job
If you had a professional level job, you'd know that favoritism and ass kissing is what gets you ahead. You can be the hardest working cunt there is, if the guys above you don't like you, you ain't getting shit. That meme only applies to self employment, but even then you're ruled by the market and other circumstances outside of your control.
Yet another meme. Plenty of people start businesses that provide people what they need, but they end up going bankrupt anyway. You're not providing a service or product in a vacuum, there's tons of other people doing the same. Luck is an enormous component.
This is a bit of a false dichotomy by leftists to try and divide people. Most wealthy people are not like in the related pic, and most poor people aren't either.
If you want to (eventually) become wealthy, there are two things you need to do:
1) save money (at least 10% of every paycheck)
2) Invest money (at least 25% of yearly take-home pay)
This is actually how the majority of "rich" people become so in the USA (I am defining "rich" as people who have at least $1-million in total assets).
It won't be easy. You'll have to sacrifice a lot to make it happen. You'll likely be old and decrepit before it happens. Learning about Bayesian Decision Making can actually help a lot, if you can handle the maths.
As far as investing, look for products or businesses that you and your friends personally enjoy and try and figure how WHY you like them. Look for similar products or businesses.
If you want to go stock market (this is easy to start investing immediately, has less work, but is more volatile over the short term than buying into businesses), go for a mutual fund that has a long track record of modest gains. Don't do investing yourself or day trading. That is a recipe for disaster. I recommend FunShares (they invest in things people think they need, but really don't; cigarettes, toilet paper, gambling, q-tips, alcohol, etc).
When looking at businesses to purchase/invest in, don't go into restaurants. They can be high profit, but they're very, very risky and tend to crash and burn quickly.
To get initial seed investment money in business, you will probably need to get a group of friends to also save and invest together. This can be straining on a friendship, so be sure to budget for a good lawyer to make the initial investment contracts.
Be aware that you're going to fuck up occasionally and lose money. It happens. It'll be painful (especially at the beginning), but analyze and learn from the mistakes and resolve to not let it happen again.
Acquire skills and experience that people will pay you for.
This needn't require a degree or anything either, a bricklayer who bombed every exam he ever took can become wealthy if he applies what he learns to start his own company
