You read books but do you read current news? Most of the world is still debating if they should be free of the government which is a binary that very much places liberalism on the left.

Why are you holding such a Eurocentric perspective in face of the fact that most are not having the anticapitalist vs capitalist discussion you seem to think they are having?

It should be the other way around that capitalism was created to justify liberalism because you have liberal philosophers writing decades to centuries before the capitalists.

No, it fucking has not. It is quite literally the definition of where "the left" begins. In the wake of the French revolution the liberals sat on the left side of parliament.

That presumes the binary is focused on economy when most nations are still debating freedom from the government and thus liberalism should be the start of the left.

They are taking a frankly eurocentric perspective which presumes the debate is anticapitalism vs capitalism when I would posit that most nations are still debating liberalism vs authoritarianism hence the claim that they are eurocentric as the binary only makes sense for Europe.

That entirely depends on whether we accept liberalism as a default which most nations do not. Most of the world is still arguing authoritarianism vs liberalism right now.

Only if you are eurocentric and accept liberalism as a default state. I would argue eurocentric perspectives are inherently problematic.

Liberalism is the start of the left unless you are incredibly eurocentric. Most of the world is still arguing liberalism vs authoritarianism and Europe is adopting that once again.

The media needs to stop talking about racial groups as if they are voting blocs.

There's a ton of people on all sides of the political spectrum who are low information because they do not understand how to vet sources.

Why do you make that claim when it has not proven to be true fir almost all capitalist nations?

They are mistaken. You can hang dong on private servers

That's not true. On a private server you can hang dong.

They never made a straw man argument because they qualify it with the second part that you cut off. Why did you do that?

It seems you might not understand what downvotes are for then. Downvotes are for things that do not contribute to discussion so things like insults or actively dangerous suggestions should be downvoted.

Suggesting what is a very typical path to addiction for addicts is very bad advice and should not be shared. When someone is foolish enough to do so it should be downvoted because the whole discussion is toxic

You are using straw man incorrectly. Don't even try to go down the path of rhetorical flaws if you fuck that one up.

It's really only a matter of degrees as you can sell other things for a profit so why not your literature?

Then you do understand why people are downvoting because this is bad advice and others dont want people to see it.

We absolutely still live in a world of scarcity. Im not sure why you think otherwise.

Some because not everyone creates the same value or works as hard as others. We should have things that motivate people to willingly take on riskier or more challenging work. We shouldn’t hope that someone is going to show up and be willing to do brain surgery when we need it.
