      Not only that, the Miniere du Haut Katanga and Belgian activities in Congo lasted long after Leopold. It was the main source of nuclear material for US nukes in WW2, then US, UK, and French nuclear programs after the war. Later, militias backed by the Belgian Intelligence Services attempted to create a separate Katanga state from Congo to protect those mines, and it culminated in the Siege of Jadotville between Congolese militias and UN forces which became a commemorated event in the Irish military.

    My parents are from the USSR. A big problem there was that officials constantly miscalculated how many people needed stuff and people had to wait online for basic things like milk and eggs. And also there was a lot of corruption. If you were a KGB agent, you could frame someone for conspiracy against the government and sent to prison. And also they had a housing crisis because the government couldnt build enough housing fast enough and so people had to live in communes. If we had advanced AI that could solve all of this it wouldn't be a problem but that impossible in a world without such technology.
    It's better to have a decentralized market system snd just have the government regulate stuff that needs regulating and redistribute money to lower inequality. And also have regulations in our trade agreements and sanction contries that don't comply with our policies.

      But in a cooperative-only economy, that investment doesnt really happen. You could have public banks give that money but they would need to make a profit too (that's how a bank increases the money in a CD for example).
      Cooperatives are good for industries where people can pool their money and start a small business but they are shit for things like Amazon or Tesla which needs a lot of investment, especially if its foreign investment.

      @@margalwarrior subsidies for the government would be good to stimulate growth in already developed industries. So, for example, they may give money to companies that research and manufacture solar cells to help stimulate growth in that sector. But that wouldn't work for startups. For those, you would need something like vc firms angel investors. These are usually people who were lucky enough to acquire a small fortune (or sometimes a bug fortune) who are willing to invest it into a startup. Because they have so much money, they are risk averse. Whereas banks are more selective about who they give a loan to (since it not their money). That I'd most likely why we dont see too many cooperatives even though they are equally or more profitable and effeciant as a regular buisness.
      However, with something like a codetermination law, you could get publicly traded companies to give their workers a say in the board of directors while still getting outside investors to give money to you.

    i feel like one of the major issues that the younger generations have when assessing different systems like this is somehow tied to a lack of imagination, or inability to mentally project abstract processes through time. so really crucial concepts consistently get written off or substituted with an oversimplified/incorrect idea in its place. i dunno, either way there's gotta be something that's making these kids so eager/receptive to these kind of half-baked utopian circle jerks.

    ok, this guy was much better than the other socialists. I think Destiny actually messed up when he said that capitalism and globalization will make all countries better. While it is true that the economy is not a zero-sum game and the more trading partners a country has the better its economy will be, this is not a linear thing. Exploiting a small country/market like Congo and keeping it poor does not make a dent in the US or other rich countries' exports, but having cheap access to Congo's cobalt will definitely do.

    • @NationalistsRuinAmerica
      @NationalistsRuinAmerica 10 месяцев назад

      If capitalism was actually fair and every country on earth had the same autonomy over their resources and economic power then Capitalism would most definitely be a zero sum game. How do you want to gain something out of a closed system?
      Right now capitalism is not a closed system, it gets input from basically unsovereign countries that serve as cheap labor and resource camps for America. If all those countries weren't just politically unstable resources havens, America would actually have to trade with them, which they can't because the economy is carefully constructed on a foundation of extortion. There's no way in hell that America could afford to import all those resources if they were fairly priced and Congo had a say in the global economy.
      So yeah, your iphone would cost as much as a Tesla, your Tesla would cost as much as a house.

      @Emmerich August Because without legislation that applies to every country on Earth, you can't enforce something like this. Beyond that, wealthy people are experts at skirting laws like this, and have the capital to buy the influence they need to subvert or revert these kinds of laws.
      Beyond that, these companies are currently based around profit-seeking, which they wouldn't be able to do anymore, and would thus likely lose their drive, and ability to even function.

    I'm not sure that guy explained the point from the Walmart book very well. The books talks about the way that resources are allocated. In our market economy, resources are allocated among people thru market forces. Within a corporation like Amazon, there are lots and lots of different parts of amazon, and planning instead of a market is used to decide how to allocate resources withing that system. There are critiques of this book tho. I've seen an economist talk about different issues that arise when an entire economy is treated the same way.

    It may not be possible to "maximize happiness" through either system, as both have within them the very mechanisms that undermine the only things that bring happiness. Communism undermines the individual's quest for self-actualization, the pursuit of fulfilling one's purpose. Capitalism also undermines these things for all except, perhaps, for those who have enough wealth or privilege that they don't have to put self-actualization and the pursuit of one's purpose on hold to meet their basic survival needs, but even the wealthy aren't happy under capitalism because their wealth afford them everything they could ever want, so naturally they're NEVER FUCKING HAPPY.
    Denmark, on the other hand, is said to have the happiest people on Earth. They have a VERY socialized system, in which individuals are still allowed to pursue their own goals and dreams. Scandinavian-style socialism is clearly the best of both worlds; I don't see why this is so hard to understand. People like Bernie Sanders have been talking about this for years, and that's why to me Sanders is the actual centrist. Americans are so fucking lost in the right-wing weeds compared to the rest of the world that many of them think people like Hillary are communists. It's *fucking absurd.*

    Destiny destroys his own argument for capitalism here! There is a reason so many goods are manufactured in multiple countries across multiple supply chains around the world. Cheap labor and resources. There is a reason America "spreads democracy," and fights communists around the world. Ensuring corporations have access to that cheap labor and resources. Markets are written and regulated by a central authority. In our global trade system, that central authority is dominated by the US government. When people talk about geo politics or geo strategic interests, ultimately it comes down to protecting the advantages they have in these international agreements.
    I don't know if Destiny deliberately dances away from these arguments or he is unable to make the connection in his mind. Either way it's quite disappointing but shows the power of think tanks like the CATO institute.
