Look at that vast oversimplification that ignores entire industries built up from scratch.

Its like they literally have the worst arguments in existence.

Some people have money, and squander it. Some people have money, and make more of it. Some people have no money, and never make any. Some people have no money, and make lots. Some people have no money, win the lottery, and in a year or two, have no money again. In fact most people who win the lottery follow that trajectory.

Curt Schilling had tons of money. All gone now.

Not when that ownership is used for exploitation (see: chattel slavery).
Equating modern worker/business owner relations with chattel slavery is lol.

This argument might work better in China bro. Have you considered moving there?

If the ownership isn't valid (and it isn't) then there's no "stealing" about it.
Your logical fallacy is begging the question

Begging the question

You presented a circular argument in which the conclusion was included in the premise.
This logically incoherent argument often arises in situations where people have an assumption that is very ingrained, and therefore taken in their minds as a given. Circular reasoning is bad mostly because it's not very good.

Example: The word of Zorbo the Great is flawless and perfect. We know this because it says so in The Great and Infallible Book of Zorbo's Best and Most Truest Things that are Definitely True and Should Not Ever Be Questioned.

A review for Mikhail and Dumar

If your argument includes any of these, its a bad argument and you're very possibly incorrect. At the very least, you have failed to support your premise with proper evidence, and will need to further support your argument with valid evidence to help qualify your conclusions

I don't have to "equate" it to point out the similarities along the vector of exploitation. That's retarded. Fuck, I forgot who I was talking to.

It's not begging the question when I've explicitly given an argument supporting the premise (especially when your only dumbdumb counterargument is "PFFT").

No it doesn't, because anecdotes aren't a valid basis for deciding how to arrange a society.
Then why are you employing constant anecdotes about chattel slavery and possibly bosses being incompetent as a justification for the entire basis of your argument?

What similarities? When was the last time you were beaten and forced to labor for 16 hours a day with meagre gruel for food and no recompense?

There are no similarities

It's not begging the question when I've explicitly given an argument supporting the premise (especially when your only dumbdumb counterargument is "PFFT").
Your example is an anecdote and your assertion includes your conclusion in its premise. Your entire argument is predicated on a begging the question fallacy of presumption that all relations in the context of capitalism can only be exploitative because your IDEOLOGY says so as a product of the conclusions of labor value theory. LTV has never been proven in any quantifiable fashion, in fact is rejected by mainstream economic theorists. Your anecdote isn't close to reality in any modern industrialized nation, and your entire position is predicated on an assertion that is shown to be false.

I dunno what to tell you. Begging the question fallacy is begging the question.

Why do both you and Dumar rely on fallacy logic to support your points of view?

If Mikhail's story about chattel slave owning incompetent bosses isn't based on his real world observations, and thus an anecdote, then his entire argument falls apart because it is based solely on fantasy villains he's made up in his head.

I might think you're doing this on purpose but you also don't know what anecdote means so I'm really not sure.

It's time to stop posting.

That shit is pathetic, Mik. Are you even saving face with yourself at this point?
