AGAIN, LISTEN CLOSELY, CAPITALISTS DO NOT ENGAGE IN WAR.

No rational human being would claim capitalists don't exploit war for personal profit. Oil sales, arms sales make the capitalist world go 'round. You really should stop lying to yourself.

You mean capitalists make money selling weapons and war material to the government?

ROFL! So what? Do you think corporations are charities? The only reason they exist is to make money for their owners. The war happens because of what politicians do. Corporations just take advantage of it.

The idea that capitalism forces anyone to pull a trigger or drop a bomb on someone is too absurd for words.

Capitalists get rich from forcing others to pull triggers and drop bombs on innocent civilians. Surely, you've noticed.

You are using the term "capitalists" to refer to corrupt businessmen. Dunno why you don't use the correct term" FASCISTS.

Even corrupt businessmen can't do what he claims. Only government has a license to use force. No corporation does.

That is true, but fascists economies practice corporatism and cronysm. So Corrupt businessmen call the shots. The MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX - remember?

"Civilian men and women after being layed off from their job broaden there horizon in the hunt for new work and settle with the U.S military. They do this because of the lack of job security,Benefits,Growth and oppurtunity in their community's due to the economic strain. Even if there is no military 'draft' in place it is perceived this way due to the high number of people signing up for enlisted employment which will include steady pay,benefits and room to grow."
Urban Dictionary Economic Draft
Are you surprised to discover those who get rich from wars they don't fight in use poverty to ensure a steady supply of cannon fodder?

 

[georgephillip]

Exactly. It's just a question of how power is distributed. Via voluntary interaction, or coercion.

In a mixed economy like the US, do you believe we are coerced to interact with a monopoly like the post office? What about the numerous oligopolies in our economy?

1. An oligopoly is a market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers (oligopolists). Oligopolies can result from various forms of collusion which reduce competition and lead to higher prices for consumers.

ROFL! So how are corporations responsible for people joining the military? If I don't provide you with a job, that means I'm responsible for whatever you choose to do instead? That has to be the weakest "logic" ever posted in this forum.

Even if they are cronies, they can't force anyone to kill foreigners. Only government can to that.

The way oligopoly is defined, virtually every industry in a capitalist economy fits the description. There is always a range of company sizes, from small to large, and demagogues can always claim the large ones "dominate" the industry. The only thing they do to "dominate" it is produce a better product or provide better service.

Excellent.

Now you finally recognize that the US economy is a mixture of government regulations and private corporations.

In chemistry , the mixture of (sodium) Na + chloride (Cl) = salt. a compound which is different from its elements.


In economics , the mixture of government + private corporations = FASCISM. a system which is different from its elements.

Remember that.

Decisions by CEO's are primarily based on what the government regulators demand ? CEO's know that so long as they try to please the government regulators that they will be bailed out if they bankrupt the corporation? CEO's knows that they can place competitors out of business by manipulating the bureaucrats not the marketplace.

The point of my question is that George's definition didn't make a distinction of any kind between Fascism and Capitalism. His definition was merely propaganda that attempted to paint the two things as identical. It wasn't accidental. It was intentional. Such definitions are dreamed up by commies who are intent on overthrowing capitalism. To accomplish that goal they need to demonize capitalism.

Smith was okay with the rich paying more than their share, since they got more out of society, wanted no taxes on necessities but was fine with taxes on luxuries, and wanted corporations to continue to be banned. That Marxist enough for you?

Adam Smith could not have been a Marxist as he died before Carl Marx was born. Perhaps Carl Marx was a Smithist.
