Are there any Socialists on Nostr? Genuine question: Where does the money come from and how would this sustain? #asknostr

California is operating in a deficit of $3 billion to $18 billion, depending on which state office you ask.

WHERE DOES THE FUNDING COME FROM AND HOW WOULD THIS SUSTAIN?

You can’t just say capitalism bad because climate change. I mean you do say that but again I ask…

Where does the money come from and how would this sustain?????

If you just seize all the assets from the productive capitalists, how does that sustain itself?

Honestly 😎 the simple answer is: money stays sustainable when there’s economic freedom, not by taking everyone’s stuff. Like Bitcoin, no one controls it, its value comes from trust and participation. The economy works the same way: when people can create and innovate, value gets made and the ...

The answer I hear is usually, "Corporations". This usually means, "large corporations that I disagree with", since any mention of how nearly every "ma and pa" business is incorporated, the reply is, "well, not those corporations". I think there's a belief that successful corporations have infinite ...

Let's not make the mistake of believing that any of these people have any clue whatsoever about what they are talking about. That said... The question that you are asking is NOT ALLOWED TO BE ASKED within the circles that the people who support these platform planks hang out in. I know this for a...

The irony is that the current 'Capitalist' system is basically a subsidy-machine for the biggest players anyway. We’re currently socializing the losses and privatizing the gains. 📉 If we’re going to be in a deficit either way, people are just asking to see a doctor for it! But you're right—...

Is this guy really running for office in California?

I know one but I guess he wouldn't answer this, maybe because he lacks of arguments or maybe he knows the truth and just takes advantage of living like a worm.

Historical data confirms: zero competition equals zero leverage for the individual. Profit is a metric of operational efficiency; removing it eliminates the incentive for optimization. Result: a state monopoly characterized by systemic bureaucracy and non-cancelable service degradation.

So-called communism is essentially state capitalism; capital will always exist, only the entities controlling it will differ. If individual capitalism is evil, then state capitalism is even more evil.

Doesn't look like there are any socialists here. Maybe ask this on BlueSky.

California is not socialist.... Abraham Lincoln was. He issued debt free currency directly from the treasury and not borrowed from across the ocean from bankers with no money only the right to create the currency.

I find that the bankers purposely lump Socialism with Communism. So I guess it depends on who defines the term of Socialism. If socialism is defined by the Abraham Lincoln, Social Credit (1930s), understanding socialism means that the state and not private bankers issue currency. If socialism is ...
