Pyramid of Capitalism

RE: Pyramid of Capitalism
I will let your post stand on its own accord Void.
In the future, is it possible to get less "Suppose this.." in your responses? I can suppose many things as well. Do THEY have the same weight to you?

RE: Pyramid of Capitalism
A lot of your political philosophy doesn't make any sense to me in certain circumstances, especially the mechanics of it all, hypotheticals help clarify things. You can propose as many hypotheticals as you like in my direction, I figure if I can't give a straight answer about what processes my framework would do in a given circumstance I don't really know what I'm talking about.

I promise I will spend more time clarifying for you on Sunday...just so busy.

Lets just say that your suggestiong that investors are absolutely needed doesnt make any sense to me at all either, or that you cant imagine society existing on a large scale without money.

I can see society existing on a large scale with AND without money.... why cant you?

Hey, if you'd actually answered my questions this might not be a cause of confusion.

Not efficiently. Again, I had questions about the mechanics of a person attaining the items they desire, you didn't answer any of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicalism

Syndicalism is a type of economic system proposed as a replacement for capitalism and an alternative to state socialism, which uses federations of collectivised trade unions or industrial unions. It is a form of socialist economic corporatism that advocates interest aggregation of multiple non-competitive categorised units to negotiate and manage an economy.[1]

For adherents, labor unions are the potential means of both overcoming economic aristocracy and running society fairly in the interest of the majority, through union democracy. Industry in a syndicalist system would be run through co-operative confederations and mutual aid. Local syndicates would communicate with other syndicates through the Bourse du Travail (labor exchange) which would manage and transfer commodities.

Syndicalism is also used to refer to the tactic of bringing about this social arrangement, typically expounded by anarcho-syndicalism and De Leonism, in which a general strike begins and workers seize their means of production and organise in a federation of trade unionism, such as the CNT[2] Throughout its history, the reformist section of syndicalism has been overshadowed by its revolutionary section, typified by the IWW or the Federación Anarquista Ibérica section of the CNT.[3]


In otherwords, to simplify Syndicalism in one word - Its a "co-op".

Well, I wanted to answer your questions, but some of them I could not answer. You may ask "why cant you answer some of them?". If you do, then I figured you would have already assumed that I was advocating at least a limited government.

This is an anarcho system I am describing. This is a Co-op I am describing. If people are not willing to participate freely for a project then perhaps it is not worth doing.

In America Anarcho-capitalists are called "Libertarians" while "Anarcho-socialists" (syndicalists) are commonly refered to as "Anarchists". Left Libertarians have a long history of being demonized, as whenever anything close to a mob forms on the street they are called "anarchists" even though the mass majority of them may be Democrats or Republicans or most are social miscreants.

So now we are at a disadvantage. not only do we see differently on the issue of money, but we also have differences on what we both consider to be efficient. You may consider quick and decent as "efficient". I consider (usually) steady and precise to be efficient.

Maybe if you were more efficient in your questions, then I could answer them efficiently. Angel

Not perhaps: certainly. Part of why I despise conscription or compulsory activities.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Yeah...that makes sense....LOL.

BTW - I told yet ANOTHER Christian yesterday that I read the bible and koran cover to cover and found LESS violence in the koran...if that makes you feel better. Not all Americans are illiterate nationalists.

RE: Pyramid of Capitalism
As some genuine intellectuals have already stated in the topic, this pyramid is actually not of capitalism, but of the mankind himself.

In fact, this pyramyd is a realistic and descriptive animation of the human nature, and no doubt, will have the same hiearchy, ever...
We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or from an unseen world, but directly from life.
