>>512371866>"Investment", "capital", "money"... these things are not real. They are social constructs.Not really.
Money is usually tangible, one way of another.
Wether it's a gold coin, a paper bill or some number on a screen, that money is very real.
Money was created to hold value through time and be able to exchange value with others easily.
>Dollars, Euros, Shekels, even gold coins are not used as material goods.That doesn't matter that they're not used "as goods".
They were never meant to be used as goods.
They were made to hold value and exchange value.
The part where you're correct is that the value of money is a social convention, but not actually a social construct.
We all agree that a dollar has a certain value, so it's a social convention, but the value of said dollar is enforced by the governement.
For example, if I liv e in the US and a business refuses to take my dollar to buy a certain good, I can sue them, and have the government force them to accept my dollar.
So not only is money tangible, it's value, which is mostly a social convention, is directly enforced by the governemnt that issues said money, making it "more real" if you will.
But even if you were correct, which you are not, that wouldn't change shit to the actual issue we're discussing.
>As it stands, the ones that get to vote the most are billionaires, investment bankers...That's because you live in a country that has legal corruption.
You give unlimited money to politicians as long as you do it the "right way", which is using a PAC or Super-PAC tio funnel the money into first.
We don't have that in Europe.
We don't have legalized corruption.
You said a lot of dumb shit I'm going to pass but
>When they "invest" in a company, what do you think that does?They're making a bet, they're taking a risk, you dumbass.
They put money up front and risk losing all of that money if the business fail.
It's a RISK.
They can LOSE the money.
They often do actually.
