Re: Cultural Marxism: Political Correctness/Feminism Probably the only time I ever will agree with you.

The point is that all of the countries that were listed didn't *really* become bettered solely just through somewhat liberalizing their economies to an extent; for example, the Asian countries listed all introduced heavy state intervention in domestic economies and protectionism in trade...

I mean, that's a bit disappointing. I would think that anarchism and capitalism were inherently incompatible but k. With regards to the list, the point isn't that you list out comprehensive refutations of criticisms. I was pointing out that you were contradicting yourself when you were like...

I know what anarcho-capitalism is. Are you saying that you espouse it?

Oops. Missed the bolded. But you've literally been criticised like 10000000000000 times throughout the thread, before retorting with "that's corporatism"

Even the Wikipedia definition would suffice: Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

There is no academic basis for cultural marxism existing. You also have to do better than quote articles from an "American paleoconservative, a columnist, a Christian, and a light rail enthusiast."

You're taking it too far here. The thing is, you're arguing that capitalism has certain benefits, and have used practical examples, which is all and well (like even most Marxists would agree with this), but whenever you're criticised upon a flaw of capitalism, you're like CAPITALISM DOESN'T...

Also "cultural Marxism" is completely irrelevant to discussing communism v. capitalism, so I can only assume that you brought it up because it has like the word, 'Marxism', even though it the term literally is a conspiracy theory created by right-wingers with approx. no academic basis (although...

China has become more liberalized since Deng, but state control is still very much the norm economically. Even still, all of the aforementioned countries did achieve a significant amount of economic development through state intervention and privileging of like *everything* (so that would be...

Have you actually got a legit academic source that defines capitalism in this way apart from picking out random definitions from bloggers on the internet. Defining capitalism as a system predicated upon "individual rights" is utterly laughable and shows a lack of acumen in the history of...

Marxism is not an economic system as much as it is a theoretical apparatus analysing capitalism itself; Marx wrote very little about how to actually implement communism. If you're referring to communism as the system, there are plenty of forms of communism (actually all of them do at some point)...

On Page 1, you literally were arguing that cases such as Japan, the other East-Asian 'tigers' and China were examples of "stunning economic development in contemporary capitalism", and now you're arguing that capitalism does not exist, but corporatism does. If capitalism cannot be blamed for the...

Coolios. Some nice taste in here. Quite like several of these literary figures myself.

Not wanting to digress from the topic at hand too much, but what other literary figures do you like?

The eponymous figure of yer username would be disappointed in you ;)

How do you demarcate between corporatism and capitalism? Capitalism literally is an economic system predicated upon private property in terms of controlling the means of production. Surely "corporatism" (whatever this means) thus falls under capitalism then?

This (often repeated) analogy is simply absurd. It has nothing to do with we whether ought to be pro-capitalist or anti-capitalist; it merely is a descriptive statement affirming that we live in a capitalist society. It's simply absurd to insinuate that if one were to hold a coherent...

No.

When I did the Political compass one year ago, I was iirc on - 9, -9. Clearly I've moved to the right. What a shame.
