Why can’t we just let the market sort it out? Let the people who want to talk politics all day start, lead, and work at firms that encourage it. And those that don’t will do the same.
It’s my same issue with socialists who want democratic control of companies. If it’s so obviously better, why not start one yourself? Or use government money to do so (socialists, after all). I just wish everyone would voluntarily associate and live their best lives rather than forcing a “one size fits all” approach to every problem. We live in the greatest time ever for expressing yourself in any myriad of ways. Just live and let live.
- throwaway292893 5y ago* others response to you * Hey get that libertarian common sense out of here! Downvote!
- kokanator 5y agoAm I to understand by your comment that libertarians are not tolerated on HN?
- throwaway292893 5y agoWell his comment was greyed out from downvotes and nothing he said was wrong, just there's a different atmosphere for everyone. His views aligned with a libertarian which I think were once accepted here. It's gotten more leftist here for sure. Part of woke socialism/marxism is shouting dissenters down, downvoting in this case.
- kokanator 5y agoThat was my assumption. Just wanted to pull more focus into what was occurring. Then, as if on cue, they proved your point by instantly down voted you!
- throwaway292893 5y agoCertainly. It's irritating, but I still come here for discussions such as this, thank you. Trick is to always use a throwaway, apparently it's needed if you have an opposing political viewpoint to the mob. This conversation has cost me 6 social credits. I will have to entertain the mob and gain more, otherwise I drop to zero into the abyss.
- j2kun 5y agoI would say what is happening now _is_ the market sorting it out.
- ricardobeat 5y agoIt's funny, but individuals with privileged positions using government money to do X is much more of a mark of capitalism.
- tomp 5y agoIndeed. That's why capitalism is strictly better than communism - communism can exist within capitalism. Simply buy the land, invite people, build houses, farms & factories, and have everyone sign contracts saying that they co-own everything. The lack of such communities (large-scale) demonstrates that stealing from others is essential for establishing communism.
