Individualism and self-realization.
Leo Campbell
More like protestants with their individualism and their greedy work ethic
Luke Clark
You've been memed by Weber. It has nothing to do with protesantism. I have to hand it to Weber that he was a very good promoter of his own ideas. People as different as Braudel and Rothbard have (legitimately) gone full autism destroying this Weber thesis but it is still parroted as if obvious.
Michael Martin
Secretly they do.
Angel Nguyen
10 bucks you're unemployed or baiting either way I'm right

Not even technically true, Marx was clear that capitalism's ability to utilize market forces to distribute goods was awesome and that it was a necessary part of the progression of civilization. It just lacks an ethical or moral compass and isn't very sustainable due to monopoly and limited resources.
Julian Mitchell
Because they're greedy people.
Henry Fisher
Depends, really. Most commies I've met are the biggest fucking spenders, hence large contributors to the system.

Dogmatic Catholics are basically socialist-lites who like Marx's ideas but don't like the atheism that Marx speaks of.
Kayden Roberts
This.

1.It works really really well.
2. Most Christians are not really that hard core: that is they are not really Christians
Ryan Anderson
Max Weber was a phenomenal retard.
Isaac Taylor
lol according to your cult everyone is wrong except them.
>Weber was wrong
>Marx was wrong
>Keynes was wrong
Only Rothbard, and Hayek are correct, right?
Daniel Perry
Individualism
Work ethics
Any ethics
Productivity
Frugality
High trust societies
It's not Protestants. It's called white people.
Nicholas Morales
Why do Jews like communism so much?
Isaiah Green
Triggered collectivist need not apply, but of the two cited (among many others) I was actually more thinking of Braudel than Rothbard here, but you jumped on a name to spread maymay. Though it is amusing seeing how none of the capitalist writers agree with Weber on this.

"you cannot worship God and Mammon" - Jesus Christ
They don't. Protestants aren't real Christians so they don't count.
Elijah Gonzalez
Because they are dogmatic and can be easily manipulated via idenitiarian tactics.
Picture related.
You're average joe-conservative is a climate denier and corporate shill despite it being against their best interest because opinions and suffrage can be purchased like anything else.
It's fucking depressing to watch good intentioned people get manipulated like this.
Carter Wright
He was alright.
Perhaps a little too cynical, but he pointed out the decay of humanity that modernity would bring all the same.
