when it is an indisputable fact according to all the data we have that (((Capitalists))) don't actually invest their profits into local economies despite record profits? Do you retards actually think it's right that these people are hiding their money around the world, accumulating money on it and only cashing in when they want a new Bugatti instead of actually investing it (which they don't do despite all the arguments made for (((Capitalism))))

Nice strawman, attacking Capitalism doesn't make you a Communist (Something else I hate).
Joseph Mitchell
Ya, i understand the labor participation rate, that's how i know the economy has never recovered from the last recession. I just don't think we live in a capitalist society. Not to the extent people on the left think we do.
Gavin Sanchez
You're arguing Free Market policy which doesn't have a bearing on whether the US is Capitalist (which it is by definition).
Easton Green
That's true, but 90% of problems with capitalism are deliberately caused. Without these people and with deliberate attempts to suppress these people, growth in capitalist countries is around 3%.
But yes, if you have actual policies that deny the strongest applicants for jobs or that apply so many regulations onto the more productive workers, you're actually idiotic if you can't see how this will negatively impact productivity and even equality.
Jacob Ross
brainwashing is why
Ayden Thompson
>Thousands and thousands of pages of regulation
What a nonsense vague response. There's thousands and thousands of pages of regulation in the plumbing industry.
>screaming communists
Stopped reading there. It just doesn't work on people who still think "Everyone from X group acts like idiots" or "everyone acts like that cunt I saw the other day"
Bentley Reyes
you don't know what you are talking about, kid
Easton Morales
Because they're mostly brainwashed Americans or young non-American kids who believe the American propaganda about their own countries...
Christopher Cox
>kid
Kill yourself.
Juan Young
That's what they did, bro. They acted like angry women proven wrong and when that happens they do all sorts of shit to prove they're right, even if it means giving up on Marxist led Russia just to fuck with western capitalism and "prove" it's flawed.
They are screeching about shit they don't actually need to become involved in. So yeah, these people are about the only thing wrong with capitalism and, again, this literally the worst thing about capitalism is stuff that's unarguably anti capitalist.
This is why we're winning, if they took a step back and attempted self awareness they'd realise everyone would be happier if they simply disappeared or at least stopped their anti capitalism shit. They do get these thoughts, which is why they're sometimes deliberately ineffective, they actually believe they're too deep just to run away. They should just run away, especially from the culty anti capitalists like bamn.
Caleb Fisher
Capatalism and Communism are both shit. Distributism is the true redpill
Andrew Wright
I'm just saying, they're all still separate people. There's much better people out there who read up on communism and socialism, who probably study geopolitics for whatever reason, but don't go out there in those groups and shout inane shit.
I don't think the people in those groups tend to be informed.
I'm not well learned on it but do you know of a good place to start? Else I'll just Google, no big deal..
Robert Jackson
>when it is an indisputable fact according to all the data we have that (((Capitalists))) don't actually invest their profits into local economies despite record profits? Can you show me any of the data that implies this "indisputable" fact? Also, have you ever heard of something called the "stock market"?
Elijah Johnson
I should add there are a LOT of points against capitalism that are good. But most any informed person I've asked would say that change is gradual, and you could't just start out with a perfect society under socialism 1000 years ago. So capitalism is a step of sorts.
What's wrong with some of the anti-capitalism stuff you hear?
Thomas Myers
>Click "Max" to show the whole thing. The numbers are the same as the graph in my OP. Do you realize that the lower labor participation rate is heavily driven by the aging of the population, i.e. a large number of boomers reaching retirement ages? There is not much you can do about the age distribution.
Ryan Taylor
What capitalism? The US is run by central bank central planning and state interventionism through over regulation. Capitalism doesn't exist in the modern world
Nathan Reyes
>Also, have you ever heard of something called the "stock market"?
Yes, a place where (((Capitalists))) invest in companies who then go on to use those investments to make profits and then invest profits themselves into the (((stock market))) and hide their money away and maybe invest it into a series of CDOs which go on to crash the economy but don't worry! They placed their bets in such a way that the losses they would incur would be LESS than the money they would make allowing the poor man on the street to lose his house and job.
Essentially, it all amounts to a series of processes which result in nothing but further complexity and lost efficiency.
Brandon Brooks
It's almost as if technology and automation have reduced the number of people needed to work!
Wyatt Price
>There is not much you can do about the age distribution.
Eh, except have more kids? The lack of youth is directly an economic problem because the economy didn't incentivize/isn't incentivizing people to marry and have kids.
Thanks, (((Capitalism)))! Another destruction: the family.
Camden Adams

Moron, do you not know how Fractional reserve banking works?
MUH NOT TRUE CAPITALISM, you sound no different to a fucking commie.

What the hell am I supposed to do with this shit?
>Moron, do you not know how Fractional reserve banking works? >MUH NOT TRUE CAPITALISM, you sound no different to a fucking commie.
Tell me what you think, don't be such a fucking tease
Juan Morales
what, exactly, is your argument in all of this?
Jacob Barnes
Increased automation without a path for workers to go to afterwards is a direct fault of the economy also, brainlet. Try again.
You think it's right that a (((CEO))) can bring in technology and fire 10,000 workers with families just like that? Without them having any knowledge whatsoever of this being planned so that they could organise themselves into obtaining new jobs?
Oy vey!
Anthony Myers
yeah, at this point, this feels like a jewish slide thread
Gabriel Sanchez
The figures are freely available online and correspond to my chart.
Liam Murphy
ad homniem is not an argument
yes, a ceo can and do fire workers, "just like that." the ceo's obligation is to shareholders, not the workers.
what's your point, again?
Luis Ramirez
>google it and see for yourself that's not an argument
Parker Hill
>Eh, except have more kids? The lack of youth is directly an economic problem because the economy didn't incentivize/isn't incentivizing people to marry and have kids. The point is that the boomers are an unusually large generation, so as they begin to retire, the proportion of retired people in the population increases, and the labor force participation rate is bound to decline. This is a major reason behind the decline OP graph shows, and there is nothing any recent government could have done about it (except go back in time and have less children between 1945-1960)

The source has already been posted, moron. Try reading the thread.
Xavier Perry
You mean stop imigration instead of trying to fill in the gap so that corperations would actually be good for the rest of us?
Ryan Nelson
>The point is that the boomers are an unusually large generation
No this is not true. The last time we had a noticeable population decrease was during the black plague. ww1/ww2 didn't decrease population all that much.
Michael Rodriguez
Equal opportunities rather than punishing success is "playing nice"? You actually believe the huge skill gap in STEM causes less productivity loss than a few free trade agreements?
If capitalism is slowing down it's most likely because of Marxists and next most likely just because it's inevitably time. You can't refuse to hire meritocratically and then be shocked when you have nothing of value to sell. I am strictly focusing on employment for a reason, if you want to respond you must address this.
But you can't, because it's very obvious what Marxists expect from policies designed to ostracise the intelligent.
