That extra money is used to the advantage of the rich..like having privilege, having power backed by money to influence people, wealth is power and most people will do things that are morally questionable for money, it is hard to say no to money since having more money makes life much easier, if this wern’t true then the rich would have no problem with progressive taxes or redistribution, there wouldn’t be so much fighting & competition over economics…this? is so obvious it needs to be reminded
I don’t know if I’m a Marxist..I’m still learning about this,? but I like government programs that help the lower stratum of society and regulate wealth, and this is known as socialism, any system can be used to oppress, I believe capitalism as Marx says is exploitative, I wonder if there is ways to organized a well balanced mixed economy or if the fairest way is truly some interpretation of Marxism, I know there are people who will always have trouble and will always have unique needs to be met
Whatever the system there is going to have to be a development within human consciousness that understands that there are going to be people who need help and support and yes a handout. Needs that must be met in special ways, because of human uniqueness, human frailty, maybe character flaws or maybe genuine difficulties that? lie in the persons uniqueness or circumstance. That is why I like socialism because it takes this more into account.
You don’t have to be wealthy to live off credit in today’s world either. Eventually to live w/o a capitalist society or someone giving you a handout everyman must work to produce for his needs. The factory just allows for more goods to be? produced, hence more “wealth.” The problem incurs when artificial credit is created and allocated with state protection where the public is not demanding it.
So true, just because you’re Warren Buffet? or some fat cat doesn’t mean you’re gonna eat 100 chickens every day!
I like your videos because they are? not academic and they give you the idea without so much effort, especially to people like me that have a bit of smattering of Economics and Marxirst theories but are not students at Uni. – thanks they are helping me a lot to understand Marx…by the way, before the first cartoon my head was actually aching a bit…Lol
I often hear people say that welfare recipients are leeches of society living off taxpayers dollars, but I think this is false even if the welfare recipient does not work, as they (usually) don’t horde or accumulate a store of value,,,they (me too because I am? on welfare) get their money and recirculate it immediately for rent,food,whatever else they need, then it is gone till next welfare check comes, Id argue the RICH are the leeches as they accumulate wealth from labor,and credit and debt
Greenbacks depleted the government’s gold reserves and made banks unable to respond to capitalist crisis effectively. This culminated in serious economic crisis in the 1890′s and a long movement by the capitalist class to replace greenbacks with? a more modern monetary system. What makes you think greenbacks can overcome the problems that led to their annihilation 1oo years ago?
What did I say that offended you personally? I do not understand why you are budding in on our? conversation.
get lost you sensitive? and weak person. I would love to scream insults at you just to see your bones break by themselves. what the fuck are you? a house of cards?
