The true capitalist is a Stoic
The true capitalist is a Stoic
are you seriously arguing that capitalism is inconsistent with the natural order?Actually, capitalism leads invariably to statism since the state exists to protect private property. Furthermore, you ought to study stoicism a bit more if you think that capitalism would be compatible with the core tenet of stoicism, that to live in accordance with nature is the highest form of morality. That makes stoicism and capitalism pretty much mutually exclusive.
LIBERTARIAN CAPITALISM is in no way, shape or form related to stoicism.
For once, I'm not trolling you. I thought,"today Canna, you won't troll and give real answers." But tomorrow, it's back to go fuck yourself.
I was trolling him. Get lost!are you seriously arguing that capitalism is inconsistent with the natural order?
the accumulation of resources for the exclusive use by one's own is the entire basis for bee colonies, ant colonies, wolf packs, etc etc etc.
youre presumption that "capitalism" was invented by man ignores the natural territorial behavior of creatures throughout the animal kingdom,, and even the actions of some plants, like the Juniper which toxifies the soil around itself to prevent competition.
what could be more natural than securing territory and food for one's progeny. even Nietzsche would approve.
Yes.are you seriously arguing that capitalism is inconsistent with the natural order

well then thats one more example of you being 100% wrong.Yes.
That is exactly what I am arguing.
A true troll is stoic.
Survival of the fittest is an inapt description of natural selection. Examples of interspecies symbiosis and cooperation are far more abundant than competition, in fact, even in the food chain this is so. If a species has no natural predators (too fit) it can destroy an ecosystem.bee colonies regularly do battle with each other
EVERY social predatory animal will attack members of another social group if they encroach on their territory, EVERY SINGLE ONE
wolverines urinate and defecate on their leftovers to prevent other critters from feeding on their kills.
leopards hide their leftovers in trees and kill to protect food they arent even gonna eat today
ant colonies go to war if another colony is too close or they meet over some resource, like say, a fallen ice cream cone.
dolphins from different pods regularly drive each other away from food sources
even caterpillars will kill other caterpillars, even ones of the same species if they are on the same plant

The smoking gun is the evidence found in intraspecies cooperation being of such importance. Mutual aid is at least as important of an evolutionary factor as competition. It is education that increases one's chances of survival, not phenotypical traits. It is mutual aid that makes it possible for one generation to teach the next how to survive that makes it possible for them to procreate.
NOPE, you are hilarious.You seem upset Kynes, as if you must convince yourself of something which you doubt.
So let me guess, I should read Marx, since I'm clearly a Marxist?NOPE, you are hilarious.
like a retarded kid falling down a flight of stairs.
you flail, you scream, you cry, but you completely ignore the Hand Rail which would have prevented your fall into comical disgrace, but also could have stopped your tumble at any time.
Hint: the hand rail is learning what words actually mean, and READING the material relating to your supposed philosophy.
actually you should have read Marx in high school.So let me guess, I should read Marx, since I'm clearly a Marxist?
I doubt you have read any of the books you have ever mentioned on this forum.actually you should have read Marx in high school.
but as a self declared "socialist" (even of the imaginary "libertarian" sort) you should already be familiar with marx's works,, and should be able to recognize that Socialism is defined by marx, the communist manifesto and the adopted definitions of the communist internationals.
but nahhh. you prefer to re-write the truth to suit your narrative in which conservative capitalist and republican are the synonyms for everything evil.
you keep sharing that trolley car to perdition with mussolini stalin and hitler though. you socialists really should stick together.
i KNOW you havent.I doubt you have read any of the books you have ever mentioned on this forum.
