    I point out gently that her transactions with her favorite restaurant down the street — a sushi spot run by a local family — represent capitalism in its simplest form: voluntary exchanges between individuals that improve the lives of each party.

    THATS NOT CAPITALISM YOU FUCKING WORM'S SHITPILE THAT JUST AN EXCHANGE OF COMMODITIES!

      Proponents of capitalism not knowing what capitalism is. Probably the strongest accidental argument against them of all time.

      Quantum capitalism. It’s either anything vaguely related to markets, trade or exchange, or it’s this utopic free market that has never existed (and thus can’t be blamed for anything).

      you see people like socialism because everyone has a fixed amount of things and no one does anything with those things

      Would love to hear her explanation of how a principled communist is to live within the imperial core

      The fishing industry is heavily subsidized and their losses are socialized. If anything, the local sushi spot is an example of how socialism is necessary for smoothing out irregularities in scarce resource markets. Also how capitalism alone can't account for the externality of overfishing.

      voluntary

      It's always voluntary when economic pressure forces precariously situated young women to sign up for housing with sex pests, or for poors to go die for oil wars amirite? :sus-soviet:

        Poor people under capitalism make voluntary choices in the same way that Jigsaw's victims do
