Are you really that dumb? The point of open source software is that anyone can contribute and use. So of course some tech companies are going to contribute to the Linux kernel, why? Because it’s more innovative than the alternatives. The best innovation happens when you let go of the profit motive and just let engineers tinker.

Buddy look around. We are in a capitalist paradise and what is happening? Oh right, costs are rising! Why are you pretending that capitalism means that companies keep the costs low, when it literally incentivizes monopolies to form, and thus drives UP costs??

Capitalism is the reason for institutional racism (in the US), for the degregation of the environment, for poverty in first world countries, for so many wars and violent coups, for literal slavery. If you think that billionaires controlling society will create innovation, it might, but for the a cost of exploitation and destruction that 100% isn’t worth it.

It’s crazy to me that people like you genuinly believe that a worker led society is somehow bad. You do know that you are a worker right?

I hate how it was only until after college that I learned he was a huge anti-capitalist.

If someone owns land with the intent of exploiting labor for profit that land is private property.

If they buy a gun to keep people off that property and personally patrol it to ensure that’s property’s safely they are protecting private property.

If they do it without the use of a government or a governing agency they are protecting private property without a government.

Therefore it is possible to protect private property without a government.

If you can’t comprehend that, you’re a moron. You don’t need a central government to protect private property, you just need violence, albeit the correct form of violence. Next time do some reading and learn a few things before you try to correct someone.

So like I said earlier, a dude with a gun can protect private property.

An idiot with a gun can protect private property. If someone owns land that they own for the sake of generating profit, ie private property, and they protect it by grabbing a gun to keep people off of it, that is literally using a gun to protect private property. Saying that that situation is impossible is fucking moronic. I’ve never seen someone so confidently incorrect.

It’s ok man. Reading is hard. There was no distractions or posturing. Go reread the last comment and try your best to reply to bullet point number 3. Come to terms that you were wrong and move on. You just look like a dumbass

  1. I’m not a liberal you dumbass
  2. Everyone knows the difference between private and personal property
  3. You absolutely can protect private property without a government. If someone ownes a factory, or extra houses for rent, or access to a natural resource like water, or even infrastructure, and someone else rightfully tries to take it from them, and they patrol it with a gun to defend it, is that somehow using a government? No? Then shut the fuck up you breaindead fucking donkey.

You are wrong. Literally just objectively wrong. Stop showing your ass. Go read some therory and maybe some history. Governments has never been the only way to protect private property. Private militias, private security forces, and other forms of non government violence have always been used.

Jesus Christ, I’m not bad at logic, you’re just an idiot. A really really confident idiot.

Violence is needed to protect private property.

Government is useful for protecting private property. This is because governments are inherently violent.

Does this mean that governments are the only way of protecting private property? Absolutely not. A dude with a gun can protect private property.

Does this mean that all forms of violence are useful for protecting private property? Absolutely not. But again, a dude with a gun can do a fine job protecting private property.

I’m not trying to debate you man, you’re an annoying debate lord, for the love of Christ fuck off.

Again, no one said that. All I said was that violence was needed for protecting private property. Not that all forms of violence is useful for it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (16 children)

I agree with you there. My point is that a government is not needed to have private property. Governments are inherently violent, but you can be violent without a government.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (19 children)

You don’t need a government, you just need violence

Was reading about this on Wikipedia and the truth is even more insane. The caption on Wikipedia is

“A congolese man, Nsala, looking at the severed hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter who was killed, cooked, and cannibalized by members of the Force Publique”

All in the name of profits
