‘Thats not Capitalism numpty…thats an attempt to evade reality and the objective law of cause and effect. Capitalism punishes those who try that by having them go under…its a profit AND loss system. Those mine owners, if really guilty of dodgy practice and acting cheap will suffer for that in the market…which is the people who will not deal with them or work for them.And if they acted criminally then the State will,and should,prosecute them.’
Commenter James. An Objectivist.
“Capitalism punishes those who try that by having them go under…its a profit AND loss system.”
Which conveniently ignores the fact that governments use taxpayer’s money to prop up big business. Ever heard of corporate welfare?
“which is the people who will not deal with them or work for them”
Which is pure bullshit–the world buys goods made by the most oppressive regime on earth–China– and sheer hunger removes any choice people may notionally have about whether to work for them. What fuckwit James is suggesting is that people who live hand-to-mouth, who are under the heel of oppression somehow, magically have “choices”.
‘And if they acted criminally then the State will,and should,prosecute them.’
Bullshit, again. The world is replete with examples of business owners who escape prosecution for unsafe and exploitative behaviour. And again, people will work for them because the imperatives of survival give them no choice.
This moronic Utopian vision is in essence no different to the behaviour of those who support Communism.
