RE: The paradox of being “anti-capitalist” in a capitalist society
I won’t argue with you, I don’t have a deep understanding of capitalism and it’s different forms. I doubt understanding will turn me into a capitalist as much as my love for sharing hasn’t turned me into a socialist, but it will certainly help me to understand you and @mattclarke and other steemit friends better so I’m down! I will have to read up on Austrian economics, do you have any websites I can read that wouldn’t be too time consuming, somewhere to start?
I actually really like your stance on UBI, although I don’t believe people would be lazy if we didn’t have a culture that inhibited personal development and cooperation. The problem I want to answer is how to do that without forcing people, finding ways to allow people to make good, mutually beneficial decisions of their own free will by showing them the practicality of it rather than coercing them to do so.
www.mises.org.
Is the home of all things Austrian Economics.
And they have lots of free books and stuff.
My brain is no longer functioning this evening, or I would get you a link to some of the good shit.
Socialism and Capitalism are today, just two different names for the same group of people in charge. And so, I agree with your views on them. But the names weren't always corrupted.
Even worse is things like the venus project. Which sounds all good, until you realize that its just the same as socialism and capitalism, but now the "computers" are in charge, with the same group of people controlling the computers.
