    No, greedy corporations cutting corners, firing people, and raising prices don’t cause overproduction.

    Stop trying to cram unrelated 21st century real world problems into your oversimplified 19th century framework of false dichotomies.

      Greedy corporations overproducing causes overproduction, and so does removing the guardrails. Read literally any theory.

        They’re not overproducing. They’re cost cutting and exploiting workers, neither of which is an act of production.

        And no, I don’t think I’m gonna be wasting any more time reading monist theory such as materialism than I already have.

        I prefer NOT trying to cram the whole world into one specious binary.

          “Corporations are bad because they’re greedy” doesn’t read like materialism to me, but maybe you’ve read different theory. Or am I reading that wrong? Are you saying that, actually, you’re just done with materialism as a concept?

          Because uh.

          Or maybe you’ve never read anything, because you’re too smart to waste your time reading other people’s thoughts. 🫸

            “Corporations are bad because they’re greedy” doesn’t read like materialism to me,

            Not to me either, but “profiteering equals overproduction and so does regulatory capture” sure does.

            Or maybe you’ve never read anything

            Yeah, because that’s the ONLY way to disagree with your reductionist theory: to not be aware of it 🙄

              You’re definitely too smart to waste your time reading reductionist theories! You only read real theory, like… what, exactly?
