Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    But seriously Teefs. Are you fundamentally opposed to property rights?

    I can just walk up and take your stuff and you wouldn't mind because it is not really yours?

    I'm sorry, but the Holy Grail is all I can think of when I hear about anarcho-syndicalists.


    Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
    get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
    have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."

    you're actually far better at pretending to be one than Teefs is.

    at least you thought of sound arguments instead of just posting image macros.

    Teefs is really boring most of the time.

    I am only ok with it in very limited, regulated form, decided on case by case basis.

    Sometimes rights have to be given up for a society to function, but only as a last resort method.

    How is making money off other people's backs a bad thing? I mean it's the what every working economic system ever is build upon.

    I mean, I got a bunch of resources, but alone I am not capable of doing all the labor with it, so I pay a lot of people to do the labor for me.

    I of course pay them less for the labor than I do earn with said labor so that I increase my resources and have my company grow.

    I am a big fan of private capital.

    I do think our current economic system is really strange, but that is because I don't really know as much about it as I probably should. Wall street and hedge fund managers are strange and complicated.

    Anarcho-syndicalism has some good ideas but I think adopting it as a whole is just eehh

    No one is saying that is wrong.

    Well i hope not, because if they are thats pretty stupid in my view.

    However as the manager of said labour workforce, you are obligated not to fuck them over.

    this begs so many questions

    precedent does not equal ethical soundness

    where did you get the resources

    why should they get paid less when they are doing the work that helps the company grow

    why should you get paid more when you are not doing the same amount of work
