GME is the only time where investment is fine and dandy - you're not reaming over any workers, we're just getting scraps from a fight between some hedge-funds. And that's great, I'm in on it too. I love the memes, it makes me happy to see people share posts about being debt-free (hopefully I will be too when this is all over), being able to afford medical expenses, or just finally catching a break in this hell-year. This is the one time it's ok to invest in a stock.
Suddenly turning around and wanting to "invest" is not great, and does not bring me joy. The gains you make trading stocks, are taken directly out of a workers pocket. It's not an honest dollar.
Shareholders and wall-street guys aren't hated because they're rich (exclusively). They're hated because they're parasites. They add no value, they do nothing.
If you are a stocktrader, or dependent on it for your life, I'm not trying to hit you with lifestyleism.
You do you. But don't start asking for an investment community on a leftist forum - like we're not struggling enough with chuds. What are you gonna do; hit us with a quote from Marx, whilst putting out some info on why Target is the next big thing?
To make it big as a stock trader, you have to have a shitton of money already. Whatever it is you're working with, it's pennies compared to even the tiniest hedgefund (and if it's not :stalin-shining: wtf you doing here?)
If you make it big trading stocks, your material interests are directly opposed to that of the working class.
If you donate all your gains, you will not be able to effectively trade.
If you don't donate your gains, why are you doing this?
No matter what you do, you're expropriating wealth from workers. Who are you to decide where their money goes?
"They will sell us the rope..." "Marx was a day-trader..." yadayadayada
TRUE
Marx was a daytrader way back before high-frequency-trading. Stalin was a bankrobber, Lenin probably did some spooky shit too. A lot of those guys did a whole bunch of crimes.
STEAL THE ROPE.
Sorry for the rant.
make something. provide a service.
OR FUCKING STEAL HONESTLY!
real praxis is crime. it's always crime.
Is isn’t even stealing, it’s just collectively playing their own game better then they are
no, I mean do something respectable like honest crime. which is good.
and wha tyou're doing is stealing. someone always loses, and you're not making or doing anything for anyone. as good as it feels to have that brief rush of capitalist bliss.
and you're not playing their game. this isn't the real rules. this is the fake rules they tell us so we think its fair. if you count cards at the casino, they throw your ass out.
Sure but there isn’t anything against counting cards like a law or whatever. If you can count cards and get away with it good on you. In fact as we work to change the ownership of the casino more people should learn to count cards in the meantime
k but what im saying is; once you get banned for that, you can't go back.
without a gun and a cool mask and a getaway driver and a team member who you're sure will betray you and another guy who actually betrays you.
also: FUCK laws. you'll never have a revolution "following the laws". even the centralized folks are examples of that. :stalin:
