Capitalism and Consent 2f8537fdeb6b

Capitalism and Consent


Consent means the same as submit.

This "molarizes" the actors as an active and a passive, consent is master-slave, unethical; but the reality is that each agent is permanently active (and permanently determined).*

Submit to none -- Submit none.*


For someone who takes consent as given, relations outside that assumption are off-limits. Those relations that are off limits by the law of consent, are also off-limits by the law of the gun: Once you give your word or shake on it or sign it, then you are, behaviorally, the finalized object of the money lender, or the capitalist. The bank owns you, your manager, or label owns you.

You can't change your mind with bankers or businessmen, and their solicitors and politicians will also tell you that 'your word is your word'. Once you're in the gang, you can't just leave. 'Just forgive all debt and contracts!?'

All this debt and contract goes back to the invention of the game of money; the rules of which were 'fair': 'I'll give to you, and you owe me a penny's-worth.

The right thing to do would have been to help the needy fellow, and not ask anything for it. Note: This is why socialism seems to justify 'charity 'sex'. But instead, there was a demand to be paid back; thus money, banks ... and "rape of a child" law were all born.

It would be ethical that if consent is withdrawn during sex, that one not hold that person to their earlier word, right?

Laws against child-love are basically justifying rape: This is the intention, but it isn't just sex that the capitalist elite take by force against people's will and by ruse against people's better judgment, but also labor, money, status, grains, oil, cassiterite....

φ

Consent is unethical, because it justifies a regime of exploitation. And also because philosophically it is unreal. Unreal?

The whole game of money started on the basis of a lie, "an unreal illusion" that anything were owed.* The one in need was not under any real obligation to pay back. Money is a mind-game. As is law, property, agents, consent, debt and so on. As an idea, it perpetuated itself by the principal of the syphon, the debtor can't be allowed to forget, going so far as to even actualizes itself as the armed militia who show up when you don't pay for something, don't follow the law, or go back on your (supposed) promise.

If I discover you unconscious on the floor, it is my moral prerogative to "search for an obstructed air-way" and "perform artificial respiration" or "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" -- in plain speak: save your life.

Once alive (older), you could berate me for having done that. But my judgment tells me that you would like it; even in the groggy state that you awake in, I can 'see in your eyes' that you're glad I did what I did; and when you reassume your consensual adult act, you agree -- or maybe not? But I done right by God and by my conscience.

This impossibility of consent is also shewn at a law court. Someone is tried for what he did, or said, or consented to -- but the person sitting in the courtroom and the person who did the 'crime' are not the same person. If they were, it would be ethical to rape someone who consented first but later changed her mind. "You can't step in the same river twice" as they say.

Consent is of course an overdetermination, however, one of it's most important functions can be fairly clearly identified: to maintain the unethical -- though 'fair' -- capitalist class's ownership and exploitation. The philosophical impossibility of consent further exposes the many other faults and contradictions between the law of the purpose built, capitalist, dominant discourse -- and the law of the heart.


* Love cathexis are finally reflex, however complicated.
* Non-intervention.
* As a dialectical metaphor, the lack might have been attributable to the hunger of the one who accrued the debt -- the northerner starving, tricks the abundant southerner into giving credit.

capitalism=make as much money as possibel.

a woman in the world makes far more money in a factory than being sold, the fact that women are literally sold is redculus enuf but your lame attemt at connecting that to capitalism is rediculus.

I made my rock, I took anothere rock and shaped it, it's mine not becuse of a invisible force but becuse I say so.

as long as I say so anything can be owned, women and men too however unethical it may be.

"The whole game of money started on the basis of a lie, "an unreal illusion" that anything were owed"

no it started becuse ppl werent bothered to drag there sheep to the market and use them as change.

money staret out as very valuble things, silver and gold they were just Items and you could buy them by selling stuff and the othere way around becuse money is just valuble stuff, the money we have today is the expected value of the stuff it reprisents.


I'm not sure what you were talking about though.

Only one comment on this...... capitalism isn't necessarily owning "land" but "something" that someone else wants. It could be just a piece of paper (as in stocks) or a boat that you can sell for a profit. Whether "you" are a person or corporation/business. The means to distribute and produce still don't mean land per se. Stocks are more of an idea on a piece of paper or bytes on a harddrive somewhere with your name on a list - you hold on to those stocks long enough, they split, you own twice as many stocks - you've produced and then you sell them as opposed to the whole government owning them.

Ok, two comments. trade is part of any society. bartering for goods happens everywhere, regardless of the state of the government -- doesn't mean it's disorganized Smile

Okay.

Sorry, child prostitution is not the target of this article. But you have a good point about it being related; I think the issue of consent is connected with child and with prostitution. Elaborate.

Okay. Moral and by power are not the same. Though it may, may, be that by power only will the moral come out, as they say, "the only thing necessary for evil to triump is for good men to do nothing".

Right. Money is abstract. Dogs can't do it. Some foreigners might not understand how it is done. Money is a theory. Keeping track of debts can get tricky -- 'I paid you that back already!'

It is a difficult question:

- Is money the root of all evil?

or

- Is this money system evil?

But it is a fair description of ownership. What if someone doesn't hear him? What if he says it in a forest and no one's there to hear, does he still own it?

The stock has to have a physical existence, it must or it will be nothing, however symbolic, electronic, etc. The wanting of the thing is important, I'm just looking at Félix Guattari, makes me think the want is productive and that makes me think of this seemingly communist site. 'Want is not a lack'.

If I'm good getting rocks, shaping and coloring them and people like the rocks I make and I exchange them for food, housing, clothing or any other good I may need that other is good at getting, that is not capitalism.

Capitalism is when you own the means through which society produces goods or services to suffice needs, when you own the means to suffice needs even though someone else is working them for you. In other words is when you have people having to buy from you the goods that they produced.

That is capitalism.

kismet wrote:

For me trade is a manifestation of an economically alienated and disorganized society. It's not necesarily a "capitalist component" but it certainly is, from my point of view, a manifestation of alienation and disorganization.

Why?

Because it's the arbitrary exchange of different things with different values as opposed to a planified and coordinated communal production and distribution.

That was unlinked to revolution. Also, you misquoted me.

Brothels empty? Where have you been?

Either way, garments factories suffice the needs of a broader population than those of brothels.

Ownership is broader than that. Within a community ownership is legitimate in accordance to what all members of that community in full consciousness and awareness have dtermined it to be, ie, in the case of personal belongings being legitimately owned by individuals as opposed to means of production owned by a single individual with people having to work for him/her to be able to produce what will sufice societal needs.

1. Captialism-fail

2.What the fuck. If a wonam was being sold, the owner makes money. If a woman gets a job, she makes money. I dont see how the two are related. Besides, if one woman is $1000 then the qwner can sell 100 women and make 4 times as much in a shorter time span.

3.What dies that have to do with what zealot said?

4.Dosent make it right to own another human.

obviusly they won't always be the best but the ones who are good at it won't go broke. there are really bad ones but they usally have really bad companies since iefficent managing means bad company.

3.
the econamy is the owner
it dose make sense, the power of a human is far better exploited as a worker than as a slave. A slave has no reson too work hard, he will always have too work anyhow, a worker has a chanse of a better future thus he works harder and better.

4.
well tehy aren't anymore there aren't any real moarchs left.


5.
yes but that dosn't mean it's impossible even though it's not a good thing.


6.
trade is the basis of a health econamy, place a is good at making product 1 so it trades product 1 to place b wich gives them product 2.
evryone gets what they need in the cheapest way possible.
how is that BAD?

"The economy is the owner" - this statement made no sense.

The conditions of the slave greatly depended on his owner as much as the conditions of the employee or wage slave depend on the owners of the measn of production.

Trade is the basis of and a need in an alienated economy. This implying that all production and distribution, instead of being plannified and coordinated are based on arbitrary exchanges based on abstract and subjective values.

Sorry I left this for a week, but I like this style so as not to get too fired up and have a proper think about the thing. I see I betrayed my line in the post above but never mind that...

This is why you really need to go to the source to hear things, this is a really interesting definition...

That is capitalism.
These days I'm into these two distinctions,
  • ideas vs objects

  • talk vs action

The capitalist is an interesting character because he is made up. "Do I own my arm?"

If everyone got amnesia, it would be a hell of a time going through the deeds and titles to find who owned what.

The capitalist has his ownership, which is by-in-large respected because of real physical threat. Question, why do I trust the threats of the capitalist, or the police? After Hume, I can never be certain of even the most well tested scientific theory; so why do I trust the police who tell me, 'move along or we can do this the hard way!'

This treating people as objects is at least part of the basis of both capitalism and consent ideology.

But solipsism, how else can I treat someone, I'm never certain he is anything but an object?

There is a double contradiction in this, coming out of free-will and determinism; I can neither treat a person as anything but an object -- and as an object, he is an unstable object, an uncertain object.

Do you mean that a loaf of bread should cost the same anywhere?

A planified distribution system sounds dangerous, the failure of centrally organized multi-national corporations hints at this?

Ownership is broader than that. Within a community ownership is legitimate in accordance to what all members of that community in full consciousness and awareness have dtermined it to...
Only a few members of the community need to recognize the ownership -- the few with the guns.

The difference between what I think and what I do is important, but not for anyone but me; the capitalist can not know or care that I do not recognize his ownership if I show up for work, collect pay, buy products etc. This is an interesting puzzle too, becasue although my thoughts have no physical existence, the system is still conserned about public opinion. Some how, thoughts and physical things can translate into one another...

Trade is the basis of and a need in an alienated economy. This implying that all production and distribution, instead of being plannified and coordinated are based on arbitrary exchanges based on abstract and subjective values
I like the concept of alienation as an early line or point in the dialectic of what is capitalism; but having rightist sympathy, I read trade as alienation different; the solution to me is autarky and localism, not internationalist-dependency. (This is an important difference I would expect in our thinking, I am not much of a communist because of the line that is so central in Islam, 'Submit to none...'. The none 'excludes' the worker, humanity, etc.)

You use the word "need" because it happened in history, or is this using deterministic language to describe the free human spirit?

it dose make sense, the power of a human is far better exploited as a worker than as a slave
Often said, never demonstrated. No, I don't think history does show that. Define slave.
