Do you support a Capitalist DIR?

[CynthiaCypher]

Capitalist need it. We dont want every Capitalist thread we start to be filled with posts, that says, that Capitalists are going to burn in hell, or Capitalists are evil, or why Socialism is better than Capitalism.
It completely derails the OP.

And who will be allowed to post in it?

I already answered that.

Why not give us a good answer for why it should be denied?

I asked him the question.

 

[Revoltingest]

I asked him the question.

You certainly did.
But I noticed that no one has satisfactorily answered mine, ie, why oppose the DIR?
All I see is....

And who will be allowed to post in it?

Its like asking, who will be allowed to post in Feminist DIR? Masculanists maybe?
Of course it will be Capitalists who will get to post in Capitalist DIR.

This thread is about the conversation, not capitalism.

Vote yes.

Even Mixed Economy capitalist who do not necessarily agree with laisse faire capitalism? What about those who believe in state capitalism or controlled markets?

It requires government intervention and unions to protect the working class.

You like being paid overtime after 40 hours thank the FLSA
You like kids not having to work thank the same act.
You like a minimum wage thank the same act.

You want equal wages for equal work look to the Equal pay act

You don't want to be fired before you can collect Age discrimination in employment act

Basically any protections any benefits you have at work are not because of the great capitalists. They were against them all. You can thank government action and unions.

Ask my grandfather who got black lung from the mines and regularly worked a 60 -80 hour week to support his family.

My great grandmother who had to run a speakeasy after her husband died because women couldn't get a good paying job.

My other grand father that held 2 jobs for most of his life due to the fair Capitalist pay system.

Just look to the past where the system was closer to capitalism then today. Where's the middle class how is life for the poor.

Capitalism is the most unfair system out there. The rich and those that think they'll be rich someday love it.

You work in a Company? Resign now. Because companies are capitalist. You go to Walmart. Dont go cause Walmart is capitalist. You use Social Media? Every Social Media company from Facebook to Snapchat to Twitter is capitalist. You like your internet connection, right? Bet its not provided by govt but by a company. Dont use internet anymore.
This statement is general public and for anti capitalists.

These are all just forms of Capitalism.

I realized I posted in the wrong thread it is now in your other thread. If you want me to reply I will in the other thread. Columbus rightfully said this is about a capitalist dir not capitalism.

That would be me. Mr. Nuance. I fully expect to post in the thread as I voted for it.

Vote yes.

And they are not always in agreement.

Will you sell your opinion for fruballs too?

 

[Phil25]

There are different forms of Socialism, and they dont always agree. But there is Socialist DIR.

 

[4consideration]

I voted yes. I think it would be a swell idea.

 

[CynthiaCypher]

There are different forms of Socialism, and they dont always agree. But there is Socialist DIR.

Socialism is a political philosophy, capitalism is not.

 

[Tarheeler]

It wouldnt work in Conservative, a person might be Anti Abortion but still be a Socialist. Isnt that guy Conservative but he is still opposed to Capitalism.
If everything could be discussed in a General area, then there is no reason for a DIR for any subject whether its, Islam, or Feminism.

But what of the socialist who advocates for capitalism (the vast majority on RF, IIRC), or the capitalist that champions a planned economy? Wouldn't they pose the same problems for you as the ones described? Based on the rules that govern the DIRs on RF, they would have equal access to the Capitalism section.

Dont even talk about need. Even Amish have their own DIR. And we all know Amish are opposed to technology/computers/cellphones so by definition they cant even join RF.

Given that the various religious DIRs were created a long time ago and are essential to the mission of this site, that's like comparing apples to cinder blocks. The Feminism DIR is a much more recent addition, and the threads concerning it's creation would likely hold information you might find relevant.


I'm not trying to debate you. You are the one taking up this charge, and I'm asking you to articulate an argument that tells me why we need this.

Just about everyone who participates in a capitalist economy would be able to use it. He wants to put a lock on a door that is not there.

 

[Drolefille]

This is a bit of an aside - but are DIRs ever weeded - in that if they're empty/unused for a certain period of time, are they ever removed?

Anyone who advocates Capitalism is a Capitalist and will be more than welcome to participate in Capitalist DIR.
