Why are leftists such fucking pussies who will only riot, assault people for their views, and destroy innocent people's property in cucked disarmed shithole states like California? States with gun laws that are extremely strict and have no stand your ground.
They will never pull this shit off in states Texas where a shitton of people carry.
we American leftists are peaceful larpers who decry all violence, we just want our voices heard by burning a few trashcans tbh fam

No he wasn't. The antifa dipshit was a fucking faggot who was assaulting somebody because he supported Trump and was there to attend the Milo speech. You anfaggots are beyond fucking retarded.
Jordan Robinson
MEIN GOTT every fucking time

Also destroying Starbucks.

Uh, no. He was defending himself against fascism. The Trump supporter was attacking him in the name of fascism.

You assaulted Spencer because he was saying things you disagree with.
Leftists have been increasingly aggressive as of late being the ones who instigate violence by punching anybody who supports Trump and rioting by destroying and vandalizing businesses and property.
You got your just deserts. You act likr the brownshirts.

While antifa is assaulting Trump peons and killing trashcans and property that is all under insurance anyway, Milo gets to go on all media channels and gain sympathy from centrists and center left liberals, and the alt right arguments gains even more media attention enough to put Trump in office.
At the end of the day the alt-right is a lot closer to Trump ideologically then larpy antifa anarcho cucks were ever to Obama or Clinton

Juan Clark
There is literally no reason to walk near antifa protesters unless you are instigating a fight. IMO anyone who intentionally seeks out an antifa protest to be a counter-protester is by definition guilty of instigating violence.
Ethan Foster
Here's the thing.
I don't give a fuck if you hate Trump, Nazis or whatever. But you deserve to get shot if you're going to assault people because they wear a hat you don't like.
Lucas Moore
That's just so whiny. I don't even like antifa but you're forcing me to appreciate them. Is that the best you really have "Oh why don't you respect everyone's opinion, man"-type garbage?

You morons tried assaulting KKK members in California last year, who stabbed back in self defense.
Let's make this clear. The first amendment protects free speech. It also protects hate speech like KKK or WBC members holding up signs like "pray for more dead fags". This isn't Eurocuck or Cucknada where you can be arrested for denying the holocaust, giving a nazi salute or saying all Mudslimes are pig fuckers and refugees are rape committing ragheads.
If you physically assault these people in the US, they have every right to use force that is lethal in self defense. The law is not on your side leftist cunt.

shooting fascists is self defence it's not just your right, it's your obligation
That's not how it works you idiot. The antifa showed up to instigate violence. They were assaulting Trump supporters who showed up to support Milo.
That's like saying "WELL YOU DESERVE TO GET RAPED IF YOU DRESS LIKE A SLUT."
It's not how it works you idiot. Those people have every right to express their freedom of speech in opposition to yours and not get physically assaulted. In the case that they do, they have every right to retaliate in self-defense up to using lethal force.
Please. I wish a nigga would. Please start rioting in Texas. You'll get shot by the working-class store owners when you vandalize their property, you'll get shot by Trump supporters when you glorious uprising and try committing aggravated assault because of that little red hat they're wearing.
You will never do this though. You keep your chimping to states and cities that do not allow the carrying of guns for self defense and lack stand your ground. States like California, New York, Chicago, and DC.
You are the biggest pussies to have ever existed. Hiding under your black masks. Again, pull this shit off in a right to carry and stand your ground state. You'll be the next Trayboon.

The enterprises of little parasites that usually try to exploit workers even harder then the big firms because their less efficient and have less of a war-chest to pay for improvements. Most of them also go bankrupt in less then five years and only a small portion of the population actually own one.
Thanks to the retarded burger definition of a small-business it can also be an enterprise of up to 500 people. In other words, not a mom and pop store.
And the closer the storeowners are to working class conditions typically means the closer they are to bankruptcy. "Self-employed" entrepreneurs is usually a euphemism for self-exploitation, many of the self-employed are just labelled that for the tax purposes by the big corporations pulling the strings
Let me let you in on two secrets about business: 1. you have to hire people to really make money 2. you get big or you die
Almost as if that Jewish """"NEET"""" you hate so much was right about capitalism's exploitative nature and tendency towards monopolization all along…

Funny how the Chileans have a museums to Pinochet's crimes. They also dumped le free market and instituted social democracy instead once his ass was gone. Even he had to move away from the free-marketer advice of Chicago Boys just to stay in power.
You're also incredibly ignorant about the fact that the US was also sabotaging the Chilean economy under Allende as Kissinger admits. Claiming to have saved the country from leftist economic sabotage while sabotaging the economy is a bit like breaking a window in order to "save it" don't you think?

Yeah, people went from being equally poor as fuck under Allende to unequally richer. Poverty rates still declines greatly under Le Helicopter man.
Not all of them get paid this well but many of them do. From what I here STEM work is becoming more and more precarious and STEMfags are falling victim to the same automation and outsourcing forces they help put in motion. I'm not the poster your replying to but I wouldn't right them all off as bourgeois. You have to keep in mind as p1ivileged as they maybe, wage inequity among the workforce is really nothing in comparison to the wealthy who make their cash off their assets rather then the pay for their """"work""""
Adam Hill
Source? When I looked they rose. And GDP didn't grow much either.
To begin with, Pinochet’s economic reforms were not chiefly responsible for Chile’s prosperity. In fact, Pinochet’s leftist predecessors laid the groundwork for the economic growth he oversaw. “Land reform of the 1960s and early ‘70s […] [allowed] the military regime to stimulate the creation of agroindustry as a base for an export-driven economy. Chile’s modernization really began around 1920 and had nothing to do with the Chicago Boys” (Muñoz 308). Rather than the moderate and progressive reforms and broad mass support of murdered President Salvador Allende, Pinochet’s government mostly depended on support from outside superpowers. “The U.S. made significant increases in international aid and loans to Chile [under Pinochet]” (Pettit, and Starbird 229). In addition, despite a trade and arms embargo during the Carter Administration, “[a]ll the while, U.S. commercial banks were loaning billions of dollars to Chile” (Pettit, and Starbird 229). United States support played a key role in stimulating the economy of the country.
It is often claimed that Salvador Allende’s policies brought ruin, very high inflation and overall economic disaster on Chile’s economy before Augusto Pinochet’s 1973 coup. The story however, is not as one-sided as that. “His [Allende’s] political opponents, especially the wealthy ruling classes and the military [mostly loyal to Pinochet], worked to sabotage his programs. The United States provided money and tactical support for Allende’s opponents” (Porterfield, and Brezina 113). As a result of such admitted sabotage, inflation skyrocketed, production dropped and foreign investors fled the country as industry was nationalized.
Throughout his reign, “Pinochet did not build a single hospital in all his years of power and the country’s infrastructure was left practically untouched until the return of democracy” (Muñoz 309). The results of Pinochet’s military regime and his refusal to deviate from the most perverse interpretation of laissez-faire capitalism may have created economic growth on paper, but for most Chileans, this “growth” meant little to them. “In 1970, 20 percent of Chile’s population had lived under the poverty line; by 1990, when Pinochet left office, the poor had doubled to 40 percent. Average salaries during the Pinochet years were lower than in 1970 [before the coup]” (Muñoz 309). There is no evidence that Pinochet’s privatizations led to a booming economy, and much evidence that it, in fact, hindered the country’s development. After Pinochet’s defeat, the economy of Chile began growing again, proving once again that his authoritarian fascist government did not encourage but held back the economy of Chile. After his exile, “[t]he real Chilean economic miracle truly occurred during the sixteen years following the return of democracy, when the economy grew 5.6 percent, almost doubling the growth rates of the previous three decades” (Muñoz 310).

Colton Walker
I'm guessing you fundamentally misunderstand the socialist doctrine as one of "levels of oppression"
We're not against people being rich or having things, we're against the fundamental way in which value is extracted by those who did not ostensibly work for it in the system of capitalism. Not because it is "immoral" or anything, but because we find the model unsustainable globally over the long term.
And like I've said a handful of times already, go to a primary source and read the literature. I have literally no idea why that source should be trusted on anything
Parker Peterson
Poverty decreased far more rapidly in the Soviet Union without an increase in inequality, in fact inequality decreased substantially. By comparison the Southern Cone of Latin America (that includes Chile) was wealthier then Russia prior to the revolution. By the mid 20th century they were much poorer then the USSR in comparison and most of the neoliberal experiments in places like Argentina actually descended from semi-first world status into third world status.

And considering that Bolivia is rising in its GDP due to a state socialist government, you don't really have much of a say in this, son.
Jack Johnson
Chile's poverty rate is estimated to be between 40-50% at the time Pinochet took over, at the end of his regime the poverty line was estimated to at about 10-15%, the picture simply took the poverty rate from the year of the coup. the 19% fall in productivity statistic was taken at the lowest point in productivity during his regime, which was 1975. this was to be completely expected considering the country was already declining in productivity after the appropriation of many foreign owned enterprises under socialist governments, it also happened to line up with a global economic depression, which spells doom for a mono-exporting country, the fact that we managed to recover from that is considered a miracle. graph: scielo.cl/fbpe/img/cecon/v43n127/fig06-01.jpg

What happened to "liberals get the bullet too"?
Jacob Anderson
Step away from the trash-can.
Considering the fact it's been almost 30 years since it dissolved, it under went a super-depression unseen in any developed nation in peacetime, and then happened to be the second largest oil producer in an age of high-oil prices I don't see why in supposed to be impressed. It took long enough for Russia to recover its pre-USSR per capita levels even despite the new millennium boom.
Birth rates and male life expectancy is still in the toilet so I'll let you figure out what that means on your own.
As stated before in the second pic some things like free rents, health and education weren't easily quantifiable.
I think it's funny how you think that the helicopter man's brief period of rule and slow-growth can be entirely attributed to the helicopter man. But 70 years under the USSR and the second most rapid sustained economic growth in history had no effect on the prosperity of the new industrialied Russia.
Dylan Anderson

Josiah Parker
Oh right, not real socialism.
No fucking shit. It's like it takes a while to recover from many decades under the same economic system after rapidly switching to a capitalist one.
Read the study. Russia's life expectancy is higher than at any point under the USSR. Their poverty rates are lower at any point during the USSR now. Same with GDP per capita.
The economy was already stagnating and declining to shit to the last decade of the USSR, again it means nothing.

How is this a bad thing you idiot? We did the same to Europe after WW2. Chile remains one of the freest economies in the world and the richest in Latin America.
Plus real life when you consider that the Soviets outproduced the Nazis in WWII and it was widely considered the other super-power in the mid 20th century whereas Tsarist Russia was basically the sick man of Europe, she got trounced by Japan.
The largest and most "successful" worker co-op aka Mondragon failed HARD filing for bankruptcy.
Just stop.
Ahahahahahahahaha. Their economy consistently ranks as one of the least freest in the world. Chavezs' policies bit the country in the ass hard. It was already starting to decline before he left power. The socialist policies have turned the country into a fucking shithole.
This graph shows that the life expectancy for Russia is actually increasing. You had the brief outlier in the 80s, because the USSR clamped down hard on the rampant alcohol abuse for a period you fucking idiot. Now it's continuing to increase and at levels greater than at any point in the USSR.
Putin is clamping down hard on alcohol abuse as well, hence why life expectancy is rising. It has NOTHING to do with communism you stupid fucking idiot.

True. But also truckloads that didn't.

I posted a pdf here: of empirical work on worker cooperatives finding that they are typically larger, last longer and are just as, if not more capital intensive than typical private businesses.
Hence by far why most worker co-ops are shit like small bakeries and such.
By the way Fagor WAS THE LARGEST COOPERATIVE IN THE GROUP. Fucking idiot.
group. The bankruptcy highlights the urgent need to expand and consolidate democracy. This paper offers tentative solutions to revitalize the democratic institutions that made Mondragon the model for worker cooperative groups across the world.
Here's a paper completely btfo'ing Mondragon by the way.
As far as I can tell from looking at world bank data, the poverty rate in Chile was Pinochet left office was close to 40% data.worldbank.org/country/chile
I can't find data for when he came into power, but at the very least all his autism did was reduce the poverty rate by about .2%, which is nothing to write home about. I did find this by the fucking Heritage foundation that while being porky ideologues list the poverty rate in Chile in 1973 the year of the Junta at 20%. This means an 18% rise was seen in poverty under Pinochet, with a peak of around 45% in 1980.
It's not my book, I just noticed you linked to something you hadn't read behind a paywall and pointed it out.
Anyway, I will address what's worthy of being addressed here. - I'm not going to sift through this 57 page PDF about the Soviet Unions GNP. I actually don't really care about the Soviet Union, and I'm not who you replied to. My whole point, and I'm still confident when I say this is that you posted this PDF without reading it beforehand in the hopes that would shut your opponent up. That is called arguing in bad faith. - I'm also not going to sift through a 60 page report on Mondragon and workplace democracy. I gave you a much smaller, digestible PDF on worker cooperatives which you have refused to look into. This addresses any issues you may have about size, and the fact that Fagor was the largest cooperative does not change the fact that the Mondragon corporation of 261 companies and 75,000 employees is doing very well. Again, you can get all complains addressed easily by looking at the literature I've provided you on a wider variety of cooperatives in both Spain, Italy, France and other countries. What you are doing is called cherry picking.
I understand on Holla Forums it may be customary to spam PDF's instead of presenting them in a palpable form but please don't bring your shit post quality here with you.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep. Have fun arguing disingenuously with yourself in your bumplocked shitpost.

If you don't want to read the full text then that's what the abstract is for you fucking idiot. When I gave you that wanted the full text and bitched about it being behind a paywall. You're a retard.
Read the last paper I linked. Mondragon got fucking destroyed. It is not the best performing company in Spain.

You're a dipshit.

It makes me wonder why the vast majority of worker co-ops are stupid shit like making DUDE COMRADE BEER and vegetarian donuts. Rather than big companies of which only Mondragon can be pointed as being relatively successful.

Fuck off, cuck. Keep drinking your kool aid.

Giant protest and Antifa manages to shoot critically a Bernie supporter. I guess they kept their word that Liberals would get a bullet.
Further the shooter wanted to meet with Milo, who knows why, maybe he wanted a hat to set on fire.
I have to suspect Antifa is being funded by Global Capitalist interests, they form on the public stage and start to show their movement is purposeless, go after the strangest targets.
I guess I should be as worried about them as Trump supporters when stating Liberal ideals of how we must fight the one-percent.
William Cooper
lmao dude everyone down here hates pinochet
EVERYONE V E R Y O N E
the only fuckers who still support him directly benefited from his regime via corruption or are larping LoL playing autists.

That last pdf is good. The author is making a constructive critic about the work place of Mondragon. It's not btfo'ing, it's only thinking how to improve the company after Fagor's bankruptcy. Instead of discrediting the idea of a cooperative, the study is only trying to expand the concept of democracy used by the company. At least read the conclusions.
And yes, the company suffered with a crisis, but it's already back on track and is doing just fine.
