What is syndicalist capitalism?
Syndicalist Capitalism is the idea that we should have a capitalist society (ie a society with corporations, banks, markets, and other capitalist entities and institutions) in which the core unit of society is the "syndicate". Syndicates would be composed of people within the same professional class. Workers syndicates would be integrated into the decisionmaking process of capitalist firms. State, or National Syndicalist Capitalists typically believe that these professional classes would be represented in a national governing body, wheres Syndicalist Capitalist Anarchists believe that these syndicates would contract with one another for goods and labor in a stateless legal order. They also believe that the syndicates are likely to be the providers of such basic goods such as arbitration, security, welfare, and education within a stateless, polycentric legal order.
I hope that answers your question.

It is no one's native language. It is not spoken as a natural language by any population on earth, and it has not been for more than a thousand years. That's what makes it a "dead language." Nevertheless, many people do still learn it.
None. Latin is a dead language. Latin is heavily used in science, though.
Karl Marx was the creator of the economic & political system called Communism. In the middle of the 19th century Karl Marx, a German writer and economist founded what many historians call modern socialism. He was exiled from Prussia when the so-called 1848 Revolution failed in Europe and he settled in England.
Marx wrote several books that he believed was the solution to the exploitation of workers in the industrialized nations in Europe. He co-authored the Communist Manifesto with German industrialist Friedrich Engels. This was published in 1848. Marx's "socialism" was different from classical socialist thought. He believed that the socialists of Europe and eventually the Fabien Socialists of England were not propagandizing a real solution to the Capitalist economic system. The socialists that envisioned a peaceful transition from Capitalism to Socialism was an Utopian dream. Marx's version of placing the means of production in the hands of the proletarian workers called for a violent revolution. Marx followed the Communist Manifesto with an economic tome titled Das Kapital. Then later his Critique of Political Economy was published. the revolution however had to be in an industrial country that had a large population of workers and labor unions that understood his economics. England and Germany were the nations he & Engels believed had the best chance of success. As history tells us, no industrial nation ever had a revolution of the proletariat. Russia and later China were unsuitable for the eventual revolution as their economies were based on agriculture, not the numbers of workers & the industry they supported.
Is freedom of choice capitalism or socialism?
Under capitalism, most people have little freedom of choice, as they have to work for an employer. Socialism will provide much more freedom, without the coercion of the wages system.
How capitalism spreads ignorance?
People who live in capitalism exist under the corporation's interest: more profits along with lower salaries. The only system that works in order to reach this goal is capitalism since people living in this system work so hard to buy products they wrongly think they need, but this false belief is popular because the advertisement and capitalist education is injected in their brains. Workers in a capitalist work must be productive, in other words, complete specialists, therefore oblivious or not aware of what is happening, ergo ignorant.
Is capitalism the charging of interest on money that is loaned?
Those are two different things. Interest on loans is one small detail of the overall economy. Capitalism is a general theory about how society and money interact.

When did market capitalization begin?
Market capitalization begins at the start of any company. It is calculated by multiplying outstanding shares by the current market price of one share.
True.
Has capitalism outgrown the nation?
Before you can know the answer to this question you must understand what capitalism is.
In economics, it is fundamentally the method of using the results of your labour to expand your own business.
In politics, it is the recognition and support of the right to private property that allows retention and use of the fruits of your labour.
Capitalism is not synonymous with big business. If you have a business that you grow by stealing from others, or by having laws created in your favour that permit you to steal "legally" then you are not a capitalist, but a thief.
A farmer who grows wheat, barley and rye, and retains a portion of his grain as seed for next year is a capitalist. If he eats or sells all of it (called "eating one's seed corn") he has failed, and will have no harvest at all next year. If the queen takes his "excess" grain and distributes it to her lazy friends, the farmer has also failed, but this time on the political level, by failing to gain royal support for the right to private property.
If the queen formerly supported private property, but suddenly announces that capitalism has "outgrown" her nation and begins confiscating wealth (that is, factories, seed corn, cattle, railroads, banks, land, and so forth) then capitalism's benefits cease to the extent that the wealth is destroyed.
That's what happened when Russia "outgrew" capitalism between 1919 and 1939. The new queen, er..., I mean the communist government, stole and "redistributed" the best farmlands. The previous (profitable and productive) owners were executed for the crime of being rich. The new owner of all farms and factories was "the people" in the person of the government. The result was famine for all except those with political connexions.
For capitalism to "outgrow the nation" there would have to be too much private property. The queen (or whatever government is in her place) would have to invent an excuse for stealing some or all of the private property. "The common welfare" or "the will of the people" have been excuses in the past. Modern excuses are often quite elaborate, put forth by university professors, statesmen and business owners of great renown. Painting capitalism as evil is one of those grand excuses.
When you lose the right to your property, you are owned by the queen (or whatever gang passes for government in your country), and only the queen and her friends will have property.
It is an interesting study in psychology and history to try to discover why business owners, of all people, would support the downfall of capitalism and of private property.
History can anyone help with capitalism what it means in your words?
Capitalism is an economic and political system. This is when countries trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit and not the state.
Who first said there was a link between Protestantism and capitalism?
Max Weber suggested in 1904 that certain tenets of Protestantism were more favorable to commerce and thus led to the rise of capitalism in his book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.
Karl Marx earlier suggested the reverse connection; that the rise of commerce and capitalism in Europe led to the Protestant Reformation. That would have been in the second half of the 19th century (1870 -ish).
What are negatives of capitalism?
Capitalism relies on the exploitation of the vast majority by a small number of capitalists. It also artificially restricts what is produced, as production only takes place when sufficient profit can be made.
EPCG(Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme) is a scheme in which one can import the capital goods which may be for pre-production, production or post production as well as computer software systems, spares parts, fixtures, dies, moulds at very concessional rate of custom at 0% in some sectors and 3.09% for all sectors whereas the normal custom duty is 23.895%. Thus this scheme saved at least 20% of the duty value on the import. This scheme is subject to the export obligation equivalent to 6 times or 8 times (sector wise) of duty saved in the time frame of 6/8 years. This scheme is for manufactures as well as vendors, service providers as well.
The term "Happy Capitalism" was coined by Professor Arindam Chaudhuri; it means capitalism that espouses "Survival of the weakest" than one that espouses "Survival of the fittest". In other words, capitalism should focus on ensuring that the most disadvantaged sections of the society are provided the maximum resources to ensure that the inequalities that exist within the society are immediately reduced.
Can you give an example to show the difference between Capitalism and communism?
Captilism is about only recieving what you you give to your country. while communism states that everyone is equal so everybody gets anequal reward regardless how long you work or your proffesion
What do you do if no one believes the complaint you have made at work?
It would depend on the type of the complaint; you could get a lawyer and ask. Also will have to do the nature of the business in which you work, the area in which you work, and the nature of the complaint. Some where there should be in employee handbook that will outline what you can do in this situation. If its something that is really bothering you, I would suggest that you write the complaint in a letter and mail it to your boss at work, via certified mail that requires his signature to get it, that way you have proof that you filed a complaint. As things may be different from state to state I suggest contacting a local lawyer, if unionized talk to your union rep. You could also contact the Department of Labor or OSHA if safety related. If your boss is not listening you could always go to his boss (if he is not the head boss anyway), and you can stand behind the whistleblower act, if you afraid of reprisals. Document the problem as it continues to happen. Just keep a notebook handy and write down each event. If you can find one ally, have them do the same. Make sure your complaint is logged in written format somewhere so that when the issue erupts you have proof you tried to help alleviate the problem.
In addition to all the great advice above - depending on the nature of the complaint and how it is dealt with go to your local newspaper/radio/tv
Marxism was originally created by philosophers Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels in the Communist Manifesto (brilliantly written, highly suggested) during 1848 in the midst of the first Red Revolution (strongly assumed to be caused by the Communist Manifesto).
Marxism is the basic form and grandfather of communism. Marxism is the belief that the bourgeois have gained too much power and are controlling everything, while the workers and the proletariats have lost their say in what the country should be doing. So Marx and Engels believe that the working and middle class (the proletariats) should revolt and overthrow the upper-class (bourgeois) from power because all the proletariats have left to lose is the shirts on their backs and nothing else.
Then the Manifesto goes on to explain that the government would be run by the proletariat for the proletariat and everyone would be paid equally, given equal chances at schools etc. The government would have one ultimate leader and have all of their businesses owned by the government, so that no one business could become too powerful and push out small businesses painfully creating much economic strain on the owners and turning them out to the streets with little chance of survival.
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways- the point however is to change it"- Karl Marx
_______________________________________
a theory that looks at the economic base and the unequal distribution of money and power
___________________________________________________
A system of economic, social, and political philosophy based on ideas that view social change in terms of economic factors. A central tenet is that the means of production is the economic base that influences or determines the political life.
Under Marxism, outdated class structures were supposed to be overthrown with force (revolution) instead of being replaced through patient modification. It held that as capitalism has succeeded feudalism, it too will be removed by a dictatorship of the workers (proletariat) called socialism, followed quickly and inevitably by a classless society which governs itself without a governing class or structure. Developed in the 19th century jointly by two lifelong German friends living in London - Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) - it forms the foundation of communism. Refer to link below.
Marxism is a political and economic philosophy which states that the class struggle is the basic agency of historical change, and capitalism will ultimately be superseded by communism. It was named after Karl Marx.
