Why can't people understand this? It's so simple

Why can't people understand this? It's so simple.

I understand it which is why I haven't worked a day in my life. Beat that.

...

You obviously haven't read him. Pic related for a quote.

He has a point you know.

Hey don't you know that value come from labor? For people to have any value they have to work. If people worked less there would be less value, and we already know how bad it is now? Can you imagine how poor people would be if they worked even less? Pull up them bootstraps kiddo.

...

Okay someone please explain to me: Why would the elites be okay with giving a basic income to people who don't work?

Wouldn't it be easier to jusy sterilize all non-productive members of society, leaving only the high level productive people of high intellect?

Like seriously, why should anyone sustain the livehood of lazy lumpenproles?

Are you suggesting people should be killed simply because they do not have a job?

And what would these people need the elite for?

No. He's saying that's what elites will do. He isn't wrong you know, other than having a retarded ideology.

...

Yes. Or at least make them not reproduce and create more working class people who will always demand ever more resources.

Look at it objectively, why would people give money for free to "lumpens"? Wouldn't it be easier to do away with them? Wouldn't it be easier to constantly keep creating a society of elites and throw away the unnecessary?


I have to admit that was a good one.

A society of elites is a contradiction

This. From the viewpoint of the elites, why would they give people they don't need at all a basic income instead of just doing away with them.


Not in post-scarcity.

Elite is relative ya dummy.

You cant be an elites if everyone is an "elite" you dumbfuck nazi

First we need social policies to protect those displaced by the coming robotic revolution and prevent elites from consuming humanity. Also a realistic method to allow individuals to aspire to be an elite and retain personal liberties; right to bare arms, trial by our peers and an unsupervized home to raise a family by based on the couples own values would be the first to come under threat if the bourgeise attain a power level greater than 9,000.

Degenerate. And it is not because you have not attained capital through an exchange of knowledge skill and experience.

What do you mean by that?

What does it feel like being a walking strawman of socialism?

Not an argument.

Because you need a lot of retarded sheeps to buy stuff to make the economy works. Or the elite would need to create another system than capitalism.
That's why communism is inevitable, the question is wil be proles included?

Teach me your ways, master.

Because they need a consumer base, and so long as other workers are footing the bill they don't care. Also, it mitigates desperation across the population.

TRUE CAPITALISM, THIS IS NOT

TWO HOUR WORK DAY NOW!!! PORKY

THAT IS ALSO NOT TRUE CAPITALISM

Holy shit, history really repeats itself, first as a tragedy, then as a farce

No, it's combo tragifarcical now. Recurrence of the motif is just a meme now.

To increase consumption and drive people towards low wage - and part-time work.

Eugenics on large scale would be imposed by the democratic and moral majority

Also by keeping the reserve army of labor wages can be driven down and people become more replaceable. Excess population also can provide for basis of conscription in future resource wars.

Capitalism is already late from its beginning. That is the 'tragic-farce' of it.
