What if I don't like how the country is governed? Find like minded people and make my own country?
The Capitalists always raise fear that the scary red boogymen has the permission of the invisible hand to manage Capitalist countries. Can the Capitalists establish a new country in Antartica, Saharan Desert, Federal Reserve concentration camps in North America, or a landfill with highly toxic leachate to prove that they ideology and management skills dictate the living condition of a country instead of rich natural resource, good climate, prior economic development by colonized people, good relation with global empires, free child slaves in Indian Residential fake schools, free riding over Indigenous people, or free stolen cultivated land?
um.. vote harder sweaty
If it was that easy to become a capitalist, we wouldn't have workers. Some people are just workers because they don't have a choice. And even petit bourgeois risk becoming workers again.
Spot on. As Ernest Mandel explains:
The worker appears to sell his 'labour' in exchange for a wage. The capitalist 'combines' that labor with machines, raw material and the labour of other men to produce finished products. As the capitalist owns these machines and raw materials, as well as the money to pay the wages, is it not 'natural' that he should also own the finished products which result from the 'combination of these factors'?
This is what appears to occur under capitalism. However, probing below the surface, Marx comes up with a series of striking observations which can only be denied if one deliberately refuses to examine the unique social conditions which create the very peculiar and exceptional 'exchange' between labour and capital. In the first place, there is an institutional inequality of conditions between capitalists and workers. The capitalist is not forced to buy labour-power on a continuous basis. He does it only if it is profitable to him. If not, he prefers to wait, to lay off workers, or even to close his plant down till better times. The worker, on the other hand... is under economic compulsion to sell his labour-power. As he has no access to the means of production, including land, as he has no access to any large-scale free stock of food, and as he has no reserves of money which enable him to survive for any length of time while doing nothing, he must sell his labour-power to the capitalist on a continuous basis and at the current rate. Without such institutionalized compulsion, a fully developed capitalist society would be impossible.
Great in-depth explanation!
"If you think that connection with corrupted senior officers and wealth inheritance from your parents are not behind your success, then why don't you go to another country where you lack connection and wealth to prove that you can become successful solely by your merit."
"The invisible hand hire scary red Communists to manage lazy Capitalists in Pax Americana, why can't you do the same."
This is why I simply don’t argue with so called “libertarians.” They think they are educated from a few Ron Paul clips on YouTube and some thinly veiled anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
