there's a couple of liberals, but its mostly republicans, but i dont talk politics with anybody, but everybody has seen my obama sticker on my car and im black so they all think im a liberal democrat but they also know i was in tthe military

im not that cool with anybody to the point where its comfortable to talk about politics, sometimes people talk about it and i hear it, but personally i dont bring it up and they dont bring it up to me, there was a tea party type that use to work that tried to engage with me but i always hit em with the yawn and the yeah whatever

im gonna have to go with systems not having morals. capitalism just does what it does, whether you like what it does is up to you.

i am a capitalist, the problem with expressing your opinion is that if you start expressing it then the other person gets the notion that i care about the opinion, and i dont

im not down with the notion that black people need to go around talking to white people to convince them of something, in corporate america black people need to focus on money and professionalism, i practice what i preach

to you too fam. It took me a while to get back to you on this, my bad.

The difference between the antebellum and today is that this mobility I speak of can be found in greater numbers nowadays. Not only because of democracy but also due to technology which makes entrepreneurialism more feasible to a much larger sect of the populace, what with the ease in communication and all that.

As for your point, I very much agree with it as my own point simply emphasized competition over cooperation. Both aren't mutually-exclusive as far as I know, and you obviously know it too.

Moreover my view isn't necessarily that people are naturally selfish/greedy. Instead I believe that given the limit of human's more valuable resource (time) + a willingness to make the most out of one's lot + human needs AND wants = competition becomes a very natural part of the human experience. And it can be found on any system really. Capitalism just places a very interesting emphasis on it, which appears to be very effective.

As for the dominant class conditioning behaviors and dispositions for its material interests, I believe that to be an unavoidable reality of the human experience. A reality that stops me from exalting democracy as the greatest human achievement, but yet does not stop me from accepting it's contribution to the aggregate of human growth in many frontiers.
I also believe that the non-dominant class also conditions some of the behaviors and dispositions for its material interest. Do you disagree?

Nah, this reply here took me a minute too. Busy week breh. No worries

More mobility doesn't really have anything to do with my point, which is the relations of production and how people are exploited in that process.

You say that capitalism is "effective..." Compared to what? Yes, it is a more materially productive system than feudalism or a full-on slave economy. Is that our only criterion here? It is alienating billions of people, creates wars and crises that have no business occurring in the 21st century given our material development, and constricts people's development as fully realized human beings. Not to mention, the planet is literally dying under this system.

The conditioning is an unavoidable reality under class society.

The non-dominant class would be the working class. Some behaviors and dispositions in its material interest (i.e., replacing capitalism and exploitation with workers' control and production for human need, not profit) are conditioned, yes, but this requires class consciousness (which generates a proletarian culture as well)... which is quite low at this historical moment, particularly in the U.S.

This is what we need. Truth and honesty.

No one is blaming anyone for making sure they are stable under the current situation (if they do, they are trippin'). But don't shun the truth, and support fundamental change.
