Samsung products are usually assembled in China, despite being a South Korean company.
What you are talking about isn't Capitalism, it's Corporatism.Blizzard is who I'm talking about. I'm not happy about them bending to china, but it's the ultimate late-game inevitability of capitalism: if you say 'they shouldn't be allowed to bend to china' you're literally saying they should be regulated, and regulation is directly against capitalism as it requires a strong government which is an inherently socialist idea.

While I agree with your sentiments with Blizzard, your definition of Capitalism is way off, and you saying more Socialism is needed is soooo ironic - Socialism is a half-step away from Communism/Marxism/Stalinism.
Your thinking is extremely left, aka, Socialistic bending on Communistic, which is exactly what caused all of this bullshit.
Need to take a look in the mirror there...
Capitalism: An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.I'm willing to be wrong, but what's the factual, legal differences between corporatism and capitalism?
Capitalism: An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
Corporatism: The control of a state or organization by large interest groups.
You rag on Capitalism, then tout we should have Socialism.
Socialism is more government controlling the corporations, aka, what China is doing with Blizzard.
See the irony in that?
You know who else supported Corporatism? The Nazi party - Socialist Nationalists.
So you are saying we need less Capitalism, which is more of a right-ideology, and you are saying we need more Socialism, which is a left-ideology, thus supporting Corporatism.
Again, you see the irony in that???
This is like these idiots calling themselves "Communist Anarchists" - that is such an oxymoron (emphasis on the moron).
Communism is total government control, and Anarchy is complete loss of government - that doesn't even make sense, yet here we are.
So you don't like China, nor Blizzard, and want more freedom, yet demand more Socialist (government) control and less Capitalism, thus supporting Corporatism, which again, is what China is doing with Blizzard... your stance is an oxymoron, and makes no sense.
Time to educate yourself before the Communists re-educate you.
China is controlling Blizzard the same way an employer controls an employee. Blizzard can quit this relationship at any time. Blizzard is under no legal obligation to bow to china. Blizzard is not politically or legally bound to to China at all. Blizzard wants China's money. Thus they are being 101% true blue American capitalist waving the red white and blue: they are being capitalist, they are chasing money. Blizzard is a company of individuals who each earned their way to their position in a capitalist way, and each individual is part of the capitalist company: You regulate the company, and you're regulating the individuals inside the company (which by the way is a socialist action).
I don't know where you're getting the idea that I'm promoting socialism or capitalism, etc. because I'm not. You can't quote me promoting ONE ideology at all. You can quote me saying that if you believe Blizzard should be REGULATED or GOVERNED in a way that limits who they receive payment from, you believe in a socialist ideal. That's on you. I'm not promoting that. I said I don't like Blizzard catering to a communist dictatorship regime, but to limit their choice to do so would be socialist. Simple. I'm not saying we should or should not, and the fact that you've projected that onto my words tells me more about you than I.
It may be a socialist "ideal", whatever that means, but surely the concept of a government controlling where its internal corporations/guilds/clans operate predates socialism. It's too simple to have originated in the 1880s.
That’s really awesome, actually. Gives me more incentive to buy Samsung products.They are moving out for some time now

Probably has nothing to do with Turkey being a NATO ally or the fact the US has a major air base there housing tactical nuclear weapons... Nah it's just Trump protecting his hotels . Whatever.
Guess NATO just exists to rip us US taxpayers. Along with the UN.
Politics will never cease to be the center for so many people...

The general consensus is that socialist ideals include allowing the government to regulate individuals, and capitalism is removing that allowance. The USA is full of both ideals in different areas.
Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management,[10] as well as the political theories and movements associated with them.[11] Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity.[12] There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them,[13] with social ownership being the common element shared by its various forms.[5][14][15]
There was no name calling. It was a perfect example of a historical precedent for exactly why human rights should trump "no politics in the workplace" common decencies.
My intent was not to insult or name call... It was to point out that an entire city, standing up for the rights it was promised, is on the verge of being erased from the planet. The world is afraid to support what's right because it's bad for business... This is just insane from a humanitarian perspective.
I do apologize if my post offended but I think it's a fair example of why people should not be just turning a blind eye. Don't worry, If you want to go complain about how the new ghostbuster movie is a SJW tragedy, I won't be comparing you to Nazis.
^^^ Found the guy that would keep rounding up Jews for the gas chamber. Just being professional and doing his job and all. No need to get political at work.
Any profit driven company will pursue that profit at the exclusion of all else, eventually.

Well I wouldn't have chosen to work I that field. So you're logic is invalid. Sure based on your logic if someone is racist the should express it out loud in their job and make it into a hostile work environment

you did call him a nazi. im not going to play a ridiculous to the word literal phrase game with you. stop it.
no, you can run it to a logical extreme all you want. We dont need people screaming about politics in the work place. because everyone thinks they are justified. everyone thinks their cause is the most important. step outside of yourself and realize that no matter how strong your conviction is, there is always another perspective. it is good and right to stay civil and professional, then fight your own crusades once you clock out. anything else would result in madness.
Heres the cold hard truth to the matter, Im sure the guy had sponsors and had to sign on a dotted line. Once he did that, Blizzard owned him. At that point they can do whatever they see fit to do. Same with any other sports athlete. Don't play the game if you don't want to play by the rules.

The comment may have been more personal then required. The sentiment is valid.
