Without taxes the dollar has no value. Why they should tax you specifically is a different question. But untill bitcoin came into existence how exactly did you think money could work without taxes? Taxes are no more theft than property is. They both could be!

Good. Porn is a scurge on society, and especially children. I oppose the ID. An outright ban on profiteering from porn would be better.

If I put a gun to your head and say work for me for free for the rest of your life you are free to say no.

Is your defense of freedom under capitalism?

Nobody should have a billion dollars. That would make everyones standard of living extremely high. Only the very greedy ignorant, and selfish would opposes such a redistribution of billionaire wealth.

please eleaborate on why you changed your mind about MMT? where does it differ from reality? Because MMT actually describes reality as it is. Its not a proposal. Observe reality. You can't pay for things with taxes unless you have money to pay for things. This isnt chicekn and egg. Spending MONEY always comes BEFORE taxing money. Money printing is all money.

Capitalists zapping capitlaists while class hard working people lose their jobs, become homeless and go hungry because the billionaire capitlaists own everything. You can't just chose to be rich. Its rigged. A short walk down any street in any city in the world would help you know that.

I'm not free to just go work where I want. I can't just rock up to a beach selling buckets of sand. I can't believe how delusional capitalists are. I CAN just quit my job, but I lose my home and go hungry. I can do some slave wage work, but I lose my time , energy and dignity, and my home. Its such a asanine thoughtless thing to say you can just become anything and get rich by choice. I am 100% sure you make lots of money by exploiting others. Its the only way you would be able to believe such a thing.

But who owns what? where does the ownership begin? Also Socialists own their labour but Capitalists own other peoples labour. But materials and land are owned by everyone! Most capitalists inherit their wealth which means ownership is indefinite , and why rules made by 13c lords in England means their families own most of the land (real wealth) today. Its rediculous.

Inequality is grwoing, that is the whole point of

capitalism. To grow your share indefinitely. Its the

law for companies to maximise shareholder profit. Illegal if they don't. Endless expansion is the law of capitalism. And they are doing

very well at it.The rest are not. They can't play, they have no chips, no land, no resources. Its rigged. Socialism fixes this.

By nobody I mean 99.9999999% of the worlds population , I rounded by 0.00000001%. its an even small er value when matched by total dollars in existence. So I think its more than fair to say almost exactly nobody holds bitcoin.

I agree, thats my point.

I live in Netherlands

No capitalists own other people's labour. Workers labour time is owned. You'd know this by comparing pay packets and noticing the discrepancy in reward or by seeing that unions exist, or that musk isn't actuall yworth billions more than you. If people were rewarded hard work and hard labour, most women in africa would be billionaires. But they arent, because thats how capitalism works: it exploits everyone downward forever until there is on gazillionaire left.

What does my nostr key being private have to do with capitlaism or socialism. For a start a key, a number, it isn't property. Its information. Marx was never against privacy. Capitalism often is tho.

The fruits of anothers labour more like. You act like Elon musk works harder than his factory workers

No it doesn't. AT best it accepts a bitcoin-fiat payment mechanism like bitpay. The merchant doesnt even see the bitcoin, they don't even have their own address.

Look up Human Economies. Also 'Debt - a 5000 year history' by David Graeber Your history, with respect, is simply incorrect.

Capitalism is just getting capital. Corruption gets you capital. Theft gets you capital. Guns get you capital. Its all capitalism. Screwing over other people to exploit them is the basis of any kind of capitalism. There is no capitalism that does not exploit. Read Marx, he explains what capitalism is, he coined the phrase. And every wealthy banker in the city understands Marx, Das Capital thats how they know how to make money.

I don't read every reply to you. That would be tedious. But it is funny how badly your retard comment backfired! We agree.

But also the dollar nation is the richest in the world. Flawed, a lot, but the dollar has definitley worked for America. It depends on the time period, the 50s and 60s were great for middle class. OR they wouldnt BE middle class.
