Play Devil's Advocate! (4)

Propositions Under 1ARC on Capital1. Capital intensive labor is one of the most effective ways of production in the world; opposition's statement is based on a misunderstanding of my whole argument, which I have made so clear.1.1 Opposition states that if capital =/= communism, ∴ argument has been invalid because communism is not mentioned anywhere; however, in affirming that such a statement like this, one has to look at the status-quo conditions. Status-quo conditions states that people are producing more and more through capital-intensive production. 1.11 If anyone does not understand how "truths" can be shown via proving the opposite of the predicate (capitalism), then one must see that one of our assented proposition held throughout this debate is based upon the fact that humans go through many "stages" of development1.2 Capital intensive production is producing in an efficient manner; soon, manual labor will be abolished due to the abundance of neccesary capitals.1.3 When the abundance of heavy capital is established, "Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen" shall be established.∴ Communism can be created due to the abundance of neccesary "capitals"Propositions Under 2ARC on Means of Production and "Happiness"2.1 Oppositions takes postulates of "work day, eat night" mentality. Or, acccording to Keynes, "the real wage of an employed person is that which is just sufficient (in the estimation of the employed persons themselves) to induce the volume of labour actually employed to be forthcoming"2.11 It has come to my understanding that this postulate must be shown wrong; I shall do so via a critique of capitalist wage systems. Workers get paid accordingly to how much they produce; their capital. However, often times, this is the "minimum wage" The minimum wage may be high in just places, and low in unjust places. Some workers do adopt "work day, eat night" mentality, but this mentality is not driven from the need to feed his family, but the need to satisfy his own senses. 2.2 The opponent's propositions on the "pursuit of happiness" via satisfying family may be true on the surface, but in reality, it is not. This maybe shown by the employment of the happiness formula, but using pure inductive logic, happiness is base from several social and personal factors; social factors include (a) social environment, (b) voluntary activities, whilst personal factors include (a) biological basis, (b) personal satisfaction. Social factor values maybe high, but personal factor values will be low, for it is nature of men to seek his own wants.2.21 But many may object that communists want to abolish personal property; they are incorrect. Communists want to abolish the property which aleniates the worker from the capital, which is private property. Private property is to be said to have the abilities to make capital; personal property is for one's consumption. 2.3 Means of production is not the pursuit of happiness; means of production is the pursuit of money. For does a worker work for the sake of producing the capital, or for earning his wages; does a miner mine for the sake of mining, or for the pursuit of money? Clearly, in both cases, the latter is the case; this is the same. Does the capitalist control private property for the sake of controlling it, or for earning money? The latter satisfies this question. Earning money is not neccesarily happiness; many can say that money cannot directly buy happiness. However, this is not always the case, for if the maker of the money uses it for unjust purposes, then I affirm to you that he cannot be happy. Such was the case of former Thai PM Thaksin, who is exiled from his lands due to the unjust obtaining of money. I affirm that the capitalist himself is not happy at seeing his follow mortal suffer; we humans are easily turned to be pitied for; we do not enjoy the seeing of our kinsmen suffer.2.4 But it has to be henceforth shown that the ownership of private property is immoral; some men were henceforth born to work, whilst others are born to control. However, a change in mindset due to new epistemological methods are producing humans that are psychologically "superior" to older generations. If this trend continues, there will be more workers against nature than workers by nature; henceforth, if the ownership of private property is moral, then it would have to be shown that there are more workers who work for the sake of working, not for the sake of producing money.Observations: 1. Opposition defines private property as personal, but then defines it as the means of production.2. Opposition states things about the maintanance of machines; it has to be shown that machines can be maintained by programmers and computer engineers, who actually do their job for the sake of doing it, not for the sake of gaining money.∴ The ownership of the means of production cannot create happiness.Propositions Under 3ARC on Human Rights3.1 Anarchy is the original state where humans have the most rights. Under anarchy, all rights are respected. 3.2 Opp. has stated that this side has not shown how rights to creativity are protected and respected; as affirmed, workers work for the sake of making money under the capitalist arrangement. This is no creativity; gaining money is not creativity. Workers do not work for the sake of working; they abhor work. They hate their bosses; they are never satisfied. This is shown by the amount of trade and labor protection agencies around the world. 3.3 Under communism, workers work for the sake of working; workers, who under the capitalist system might have become miners, now work as artisans, as they enjoy craftsmenship. Workers, who under the capitalist system might have become industrial factory workers, now (under communism) can become musicians, as there is no need to worry about starvation as "Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen" is satisfied.3.4 If workers work for the sake of working, then they would be more happy, and in the process of doing so, more creative.∴ The human right of creativity is respectedPropositions Under 4ARC on Alienation4.1 Alienation is caused by the separation between the worker and his product; alienation creates a negative effect on the man, because this proves that he works because it is his duty to be the breadwinner of his family; henceforth, he is unhappy, but has to work. This is capitalism.4.2 Alienation is solved whent the separation between the worker and his product ceases; mild alienation may be acceptable. But for a man and his capital to not be separated, there has to be a change; workers have to work for the sake of working. And this comes with the understanding that machines will be able to provide a basis for human society.4.3 If machines provide men with all the neccessary capitals, and a abundance of them, then human society would become prosperous and third contention would be satisfied.∴ Communism abolishes alienation and creates human happinessPropositions Under 5ARC as an Appendix 5.1 Oppositions points on deaths because of class struggle and communist governments is false; as present in the axioms, communism is the stateless. It is freedom.5.2 Opposition talks about communist rebellions; the only rebellions against communism is when that rebellion will re-establish tyranny.5.3 Opposition talks about equality; not everyone is equal under communist society. However, he cites a socialist society. 5.4 The US has no say in this debate, as we are talking about possibility, not neccesity. 5.41 Modal realism; in some universes, communism can work. Modal realism proves resolution easily; communism can work is no proposition like 4=2.5.42 On opponent's hypothetical situation; first step is already fallacious. Communism can only be created when production rates are guranteed due to the fact that capital-intensive production has taken over labor-intensive production. Communism, henceforth, can "work" and will.
