actually, its very pro capitalist. "if you dont like the way it is, just do it yourself."
what it really doesnt like is CRONY capitalism where established buisness owners get special deals.

@Thoromuerte This is pretty much exclusively pro-capitalism. Under capitalism, the correct solution to a bad boss is to stop working for them. The systems shown also allow Gabi to start her own business, instead of outright stopping her as would be the case in other economic structures.
Even her old boss takes the capitalist route in competing with her-so far-by trying to leverage his existing wealth as a means to out compete her. Instead of lobbying additional license requirements that ensures only his wheels are 'government approved,' which is how you'd compete in a more socialist system.

This doesn't denounce capitalism; It highlights the traps and pitfalls of it, shows how to get around them, and points out how capitalism is enabling the option to combat corruption by just being a better business.

@AbusePuppy Both socialism and communism hold strict control over what businesses are and are not allowed to operate. Under a socialist economic structure, businesses are required to meet strict, government-enforced requirements in order to be allowed to operate. Gabi would have met none of them, as she did not have land rights for her business from the city, any sort of licensing for operation, and certainly did not obtain any form of license in regards to hiring other employees.
Those things were eventually forced upon her, but under a socialist system she would have faced massive fines and possibly worse penalties for not having already met them in the first place. This is because socialism, in practice, makes it extremely difficult for any entity that does not already have power to start their own business, as they're expected to meet criteria already existing conglomerates are able to meet only due to existing hordes of capital to carry them through these processes when they're not earning income. This is why many American businesses fail to break into European markets, and why many entrepreneurs prefer to move to America to start small businesses.
While it can be argued-it varies between specific systems-that these restrictions are a benefit to the workers, it is just a fact that they prohibit the creation of new businesses in ways that capitalism does not.

And while Gabi MIGHT have been able to start a competing business under a socialist structure-she very definitely would have needed a great deal more start up capital than she is shown as having in this comic, and the comic would have needed to explain a great deal more bureaucracy before getting to the actual business portion-under a communist structure, she simply could not have.
Competing businesses do not exist under communist structures. Under a communist structure, individuals are not allowed to own their own business, as they have no rights to their own labor. All things are owned by the collective, i.e. the government. As there is an already established and existing business to provide the exact service she wants to offer-someone she would be competing with, for profit-she would first have to show that her business provides something to the community it is not already being provided by Chief's business. It's literally the same business, using methods he's already using to create goods he's already creating. As such, Gabi would not have been allowed the rights to property-which would be owned by the government-the materials-also own by the government-or the labor-again, government owned-to open her business. Very likely, she would not even been allowed to quit, as under most communist systems blue-collar labor such as hers is assigned to citizens by the government, often via lottery, and as such they are not allowed to just quit working them.

@AbusePuppy Capitalism isn´t "inherently nepotistic", POWER STRUCTURES are, you get nepotism in socialism and monarchism just as much as in capitalism.
If Capitalism is anything "inherently", then it´s MERITOCRATIC, and the socialist types hate that as it´s exclusive, making people unequal.
Monarchism CAN be meritocratic, but few monarchs are wise enough to make it work properly.

Key with the whole concept of Politics as a whole is that all boils down to a really simple idea: who owns what. That´s what politics is by definition.
And there are three big ideas on how it´s don:
1: first and oldest is Monarchism, the idea that everything belongs to ONE, usually the strongest and he decides how things are distributed
2: second, born as the exact opposite to Monarchism, is Socialism (the oldest form i know are the early Christians), it is the idea that EVERYONE owns EVERYTHING
3: the youngest form, mostly a result of the movement we call the "Enlightenment", Capitalism is the idea that you own the fruits of your labor and are free to exchange them at your own free will with others, hence referred to as "Free Market"

Each of these basic forms has a LOT of variations in which is was attempted to implement them.

And i REALLY didn´t expect a political discussion on a PORN SITE O.o

This is great.. I've actually learning alot about business (Beat going to the business school, But also realize why these schools are so damn popular too). Also I get it now why there are so much bandit, highwaymen or smuggler to begin with in first place. The system totally crushing the "little guys" to the point they can't dare to hope on resurfacing from the system!!

Also I can see many "opportunities" for an easy favors to be taken on business dealing and how these plot point can be very relevant to the story progression as well.

Come to think of it, has anyone ever did an thesis entirely through an comic?

Posted on 19 January 2025, 09:41 by: Genoshia

Ah yes, a classic depiction of the Socialist ideal! Starting a socialist system, not by going somewhere free of industry and starting from the ground up, but by operating as a single socialist entity within an existing capitalist structure.
Handily side-steps the inherent negative of a fully socialist structure dealing poorly with bad actors by giving the illusion that the bad actors only exist as employers in other companies. Surely no one with bad intentions would abuse this structure Gabi is creating by, say, getting a bunch of their friends to sign on and then vote Gabi and Falke out of the company so that they essentially steal all the wealth the two invested in the company initially. Especially not just as a means to sell everything the two worked hard to create and produce by themselves to competition to make quick cash.
Obviously, scam-artists only exist at the business-owner level, and no lower!

Posted on 04 March 2025, 23:33 by: Genoshia

@Villhadig The difference is pretty much what you described; Under capitalism, even if the choices are not always ideal, they still exist. Under communism* that choice is removed. You do not get to decide who you work for, regardless of whether or not the compensation for your labor fails to meet your needs, because you don't own the rights to your own labor under that structure.
Capitalism doesn't promise that you'll succeed if you try to start your own business, or if you give up your job to find a better one. It only promises that you will have the option to try. What you seem to be failing to realize is just how highly the majority of people value having that option.
The main reason for this, of course, being that basically any alternative system will not be led by omniscient beacons of moral purity. They will be led by other people, and the instant one of those people proves themselves to be a bad actor, the entirety of the system will suffer for it. At the end of the conversation, most people would rather gamble on their own efforts and actions deciding their fate, than leaving it in the hands of a gaggle of people whom they've never met, and whom also have an active and obvious incentive to abuse their power for self gain.

*What you're calling socialism, despite the fact that the majority of socialist countries in the world today are actively embracing capitalist economic structures, because rebranding communism as socialism is a classic communist tactic

Posted on 13 March 2025, 22:53 by: Genoshia

@Villhadig I'm going to stop you at your second line; Your argument is predicated on sighting Karl Marx as an authority on socialism and communism. He isn't. Communism, as an economic principal, existed well before Marx. I will not argue that he did not have an impact on how people view communism in the modern day, as he Did do that, but his ideas only impacted modern communism. They do not define it, and going forward under the assumption that Marx is the only authority is baseless. It does not mean 'stateless and classless society,' as Marx described it, because you can have both authoritarian and libertarian versions of communist societies. Communism, as defined in its modern usage, just means a society where all things are owned equally by all citizens. If you do not accept that fact, you're not unlike the majority of communist supporters, but you're also not a realist and I don't deal with fanatics.

Socialism, especially, existed long before Marx and calling him an authority on modern socialist ideals is laughably incorrect. Contrary to the tale you're actively trying to spin, socialism can easily exist under both authoritarian and libertarian principals, and modern socialist policies can easily exist within an otherwise largely capitalist society. Socialist parties and people have been aiming towards more socialist societies without the ultimate goal of achieving communism for literal centuries. This conversation is not a black-and-white one, as many people who use the exact rhetoric you're exhibiting try to make it out to be. Much the same way as there is no 'pure' capitalist society in the modern world, no one is attempting to achieve a 'pure' socialist or communist society. Some people, like you, might advocate for one, but no government on the planet is actually moving in that direction.

What you're actively trying to do is re-brand the terms to mean something they don't mean, in practice, because you don't like how the modern world uses them in comparison to the Marxist fantasy world he conjured up to promote his ideals. Marxism will never come to pass, because once you hit the Billions of people mark, there's no way that you'll achieve any form of economic activity without distributing resources according to Some individual or groups authority on deciding who gets what, because there are resources on this planet that are limited and some group that has 'need' of them will always go without.
Not even mentioning all the other pitfalls Marx's fantasy world could never over come for practical reasons, like bad actors within the society.

Moving on:
You're also wrong about capitalism; Capitalism doesn't promise anything, it's an economic system that just means wealth is distributed based on a free market. Proponents of capitalism under a more authoritarian society uphold it, not as an ideal economic system, but as the best available to us as a result of innate human flaws. The main 'upside' of authoritarian capitalism-a free market with restrictions placed on it by a government to ensure the market remains actually free, and not dominated by monopoly-is that it always offers the individual the freedom to choose.
You are not guaranteed a fortune in exchange for hard work; You're also not guaranteed poverty if you never work a day in your life. All you are guaranteed is the option to decide what You do with Your labor, and Your money.
Unfortunately, humans are flawed, and some will devote their labor to endeavors that will not result in great wealth, or even really much wealth at all. Likewise, there are those who will decide to devote their wealth to their children in the form of handing them a business they worked hard to create without any guarantee that said business will flourish under their child's ownership. This creates a host of problems, of course, but that's the price of giving people the freedom to choose. Some people will make poor decisions; However, that will be true regardless of what type of economic system we live in.
Personally, I'd prefer to live in a society where I own my own labor, and how I spend my labor and the wealth generated by it is my decision. The fact that people like me exist-and the lack of evidence that we will never cease to exist-is the main reason Marx's fantasy will never come to pass. Even if you somehow created that system, eventually generations will pass and more people will be born who want the rights to their labor back.

@Villhadig
Just a minor correction but libertarian was originally a socialist term. It was co-opted by hypercapitalists in the US so there the association is with the ideology you understand it to mean.

As a minor point, the "Chief" is a too literal translation of "шеф". "Boss" would be more accurate.
Also, Gabi's full name is "Gabital", pun on "Capital" by Marx intended according to the author.
Also note the "education" and "corruption" pages. BTW, the translators skipped the pages dedicated to Labour Day (May 1St) and Victory Day (May 9th).

So... where is the consumer choice? I'm noticing a lack of that, as though a lower price is an inviolable natural force of attraction for coin and not one data point of several that informs a purchase.
Am I also to assume that nobody in the city observed the pricing war occur, let alone the fell-out-of-the-Antagonists-R-Us-bargain-bin-lookin'-ass caricature posing obnoxiously? Or that if someone did notice it, they drew no conclusions? Appearance is also a data point, and the owner of a company conducting himself like a twat in public is a strong one, and would turn people off from a purchase. Unless you remove the concept of consumer choice.

Posted on 21 May 2025, 11:54 by: Villhadig

Not to mention that consumer choice is only a choice for the people with more disposable income, this is only valid in a society where we are paid a fair share for our labour and can afford to be picky. For a lot of people, it's no choice but to find the cheapest options that they can afford no matter who the supposed brand is in order to make ends meet. And speaking of, brands also have a massive influence in our choice where we often pick familiar brands we know and recognise, not to mention that often multiple "competing" brands are often owned by the same conglomerates that it absolutely matters not who you buy it from, the money goes into the same pocket.

Gabi is gonna encounter the key problem in any collective - size.
If she's successful, she should be expanding her business to capitalise on her success. The fact she gets to any success means she is a logical actor who would make that decision, and if she isn't, other members of the collective would push for this because, net, they are logical.
Size leads to complexity as more functions are performed. After a certain point, managing the whole group is impossible for a single manager, and administrative systems are formed to deal with this.
This is precisely the time when contrary interests begin to emerge - the presence of administration, whatever form it takes (bureaucracy, democracy, collectivism, whathaveyou), means there is a simple mechanism to affect the dynamics of the whole system. A self interested entity who can understand this administration sufficiently - play the politics - can begin to adjust it for their own end, thus the interests of the collective do not align with the interests of the individual.
This can be divided into two cases - either the collective is unopposed, or there exist other entities the collective engages with. In the former, collective performance may reward someone less than them absorbing functions in the hierarchy to enable corruption outside "fair" system set up for them. Thus a de-facto, but not de-jure external entity is formed, necessarily parasitic. Any communist government expresses this, with the famous maddening politics and corruption of "the party". In the latter, betrayal of the collective to an external aggressor may become quite beneficial.
This is resolved well with the company cooperating on a spinout, if possible - to make the external de-jure. In this case, a new entity is formed with its own incentives, but the original collective aligns its interests with the new one. There are numerous ways to achieve this, including rent, shares, client relationships, etc. Here we run into the problem of socialism - it denies this option.
Each mechanism of multi-entity alignment is a capitalistic one, where the work produced by one entity is converted into abstract tokens and traded to another. This abstractification and free dynamics is important because it permits freedom of the entities that can be generated, while minimising administrative overhead to just managing the abstract object, permitting entities to specialise and thus making this system scalable.
Obvious an outcome of this is, yes, the hierarchies of a capitalist system, but these hierarchies are integrated to the wider system, stimulating it. It may be an adversarial relationship, but it is not parasitic, because they use the tools of the system. A socialist system *necessarily* forces such players to operate around the system. In fact, the communist ideal of a "glorious revolution" forgets that such system disruption is not removable from a communist system. Once entrenched, the revolution simply happens in a fractionalised way - this is, by definition, corruption. The alternative proposed was the "eternal revolution", but this is just a fancy term for what the Mongols did, and they called it by its real name, "ransacking Europe and Asia for centuries". Eventually you run out of other countries, and the former problem establishes itself.
It's not really the question of "is capitalism a better system" - it is *the* system. It is *the* mechanism by which interest conflict is reconciled. If you can propose another system that effectively permits two entities to be COMPLETELY OPPOSED TO ONE ANOTHER and still engage in the same mutually beneficial system, I will show you how you either fail to meet these precise conditions or you have defined capitalism.
Ironically, the BIG concern should be the already powerful entities trying to ESTABLISH anything socialist or undermine capitalism, as, given they have resources and dominance, in this system they control the boundaries of a given system. Then, when they own that, they have the ability to truly parasitise the original system, eventually destroying it.
Managing the respective rates of schism and consolidation which mutually check one another to ensure this doesn't happen is the job of a central bank. The problem of course then is that all neutral bodies eventually become corrupt (as explained earlier), so the same dynamics have to occur at the administrative level. We arrive at geopolitical competition. And so on and so on and so on. As long as the eternal revolution is well managed with layers of common negotiation mechanisms, then no problem.
Now we go back to the collective. Participating in this battle for dominance - the key distraction and mitigative factor against the destruction of the common capitalist system (and participating in this battle is baked into the dynamics of a healthy economy and business performance, like it or not - local buyouts of failing business are a step into that direction) - is best achieved by resource maximisation. And sharing and sharing and sharing resources with the growing collective cuts out profits from the individuals most skills at leveraging those assets, which should be invested in protecting the collective. A conflict. This is either resolved by being outcompeted, or stopping the asset dilution and ensuring the decisionmakers keep the assets. Enter: the shareholders, and the nonshareholding employees. Of course, this arises not from this kind of thinking, but self-interest, but this whole system is based on self interested actors. "But what if we weren't self interested", I hear you ask? Well, Little Timmy - then you would die and leave no progeny, while the self interested actor does, and so it would have to become a system of self interested actors.
And that is why Gabi is going to have her idealism (which makes her an excellent small business owner) be slapped in the face with the difficulties of progressing to the mid-sized business owner.
And so concludes your masterclass into dynamic complex multiagent systems applied to economics.

have you ever heard about Holodomor , @Villhadig ? It was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, resulting in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians.
The famine was primarily caused by the policies of Joseph Stalin, including the forced collectivization of agriculture and the imposition of unrealistic grain quotas.
These policies led to the seizure of grain and other food supplies from Ukrainian farmers, exacerbating the famine and leading to widespread starvation.
But i guess capitalism is worse.

@mastersnipe25 Best not to engage with Villhadig. He's a fanatic. His entire argument amounts to 'capitalism isn't perfect, therefore communism is superior.' Ignoring the many, Many examples of the failures of communism throughout the years, its obvious failings as a system meant to be used by humans, and the fact that the wealthiest countries in the world all embraced capitalist heavy economic structures.

He's also convinced this is a pro-communist comic, despite the fact what's being depicted is an entrepreneur breaking into a stagnating market with superior methodologies, and not hordes of starving peasants overthrowing a monopoly through armed revolution to 'seize the means of production.' Because someone doesn't understand the concept of a worker-cooperative, and how they're a product of a free market and would fail utterly under a communist regime.

Posted on 08 September 2025, 03:57 by: Genoshia

Yep, these latest comics pretty much staple it down.

This comic isn't pro-communist propaganda. If anything, it's libertarian.

All the issues and woes faced by the protagonist come from two sources; The government- who imposes taxes, forces inspections, and shifts from gold currency to paper- and the existing moguls, who use their hordes of wealth to manipulate the market in their favor- not for the purpose of improving their business, and thus using profits to expand and innovate, but simply to maintain market dominance.

Notably, the comic does not portray these people as evil. More importantly, while they are antagonistic, they are not directly hostile. Chief is still willing to rent out his property to what is definitively his competition. The other business people, while not willing to provide the best deals to Gabi and friends, never outright refuse her business. All the issues Gabi faces trying to expand are natural road blocks in any business venture, exacerbated not by a ruling class refusing outright to allow her participation, but simply by the inherent flaws of systems that existing economic entities have learn to overcome.

Despite that, Gabi continues to succeed. It's difficult, but not impossible. While this comic does highlight some of the failings of capitalist structures, it never even suggests that those systems need to be torn down and replaced for the good of the 'common man.' Social issues are hardly even addressed, with the focus being instead of depictions of actual economic issues within capitalist structures.

All this leads me to the clear conclusion that the point of this comic is not that capitalism is bad; Instead, its purpose is to decry the failings of corporate capitalism, both in how it enables failing business models to maintain power by hording wealth and taking advantage of the poor business choices of others, and how those same problems are exacerbated by an uncaring government.
Gabi doesn't want to rise up and overthrow the Proletariat. Gabi wants a purely free market, unhindered by taxes and other pointless hurdles to good business deals. After all, so long as everyone is happy with their end of the deal, everyone profits. More wheels for everyone, and more cupcakes for Gabi.

EDIT: And (State) Racketeering is the nail in the coffin. I've not brought it up before, but this comic has additional dialogue on the actual posts that go along with each one and 'explains' the concept behind it. The most recent one explains that governmental fines are basically racketeering. Associating racketeering with legal fines is basically ascribing theft to taxation, which is a hallmark of libertarian talking points.

Posted on 13 January 2026, 22:00 by: Polarknight537

There's a couple things I want to see in this.

1. Tires. This was a thing in real life, metal banded wheels tear up roads and increase maintenance on them, so tires became required on wheels so as to not tear up roads. Leather, hardened leather, cloth, and paper were all materials tires were made out of. Maybe the Gabby could notice this and the goblins try to start selling tires, but then realize there's no incentive for people to buy the tires, they don't pay for the roads(except with their taxes, so it's an invisible cost). There needs to be a legal incentive for customers to buy tires, but the goblins don't have the political sway. So they put a patent on tires, so Chief can't steal the idea again, and try to get Chief to convince the governors to make a law that fines people using wheels without tires in exchange for a contract with them where Chief stops selling wheels and gives them his wheel manufacturing machines and he gets to sell tires, which are disposable and have a shorter service life than tires meaning people buy them more often, they can be made of cheap materials(leather cloth and paper), and they have "luxury" variants that can be sold at extreme markups. Leather is economy grade, then hardened leather which are heavy duty, then paper being premium and more durable than regular leather but give a softer ride, then cloth is luxury and give the softest ride but are the least durable. Chief would love the idea.

2. A Thieves Guild/labor union side plot. Goblins are invariably associated with thievery and the Thieves Guild. It's a stereotype, but maybe it could be subverted a bit by the introduction to the Thieves Guild being that they're the ones to assume the goblin workers would be willing to work with them. My idea for the side story is a civil war storyline where one half basically turns into a labor union enforcement, and the other half basically turns into the Pinkertons. The rich people pays one side to bust up unions, but if everyone is poor there's no one to steal from because the rich have to good security. The various Mafias and Mobs IRL actually did help start and maintain labor unions in the US, because it allowed them to more easily extort employers, and more easily get their own workers. This wasn't an ideal situation for anyone, but it was a decent deal for the laborers, because when the guys deciding what your paycheck is are criminals, you have a bit more leverage on them. The Mafia had more leverage on the employers because they could break the knees of scabs, steal stuff from the job site and resell it, and gift any employer not cooperating with a nice new pair of cement shoes, and the laborers had more leverage on the Mafia than they did on the employer because all it took was one or two guys, rather than everyone. The one getting shafted the most is the greedy capitalist. Cop unions work the best because they can skip the Mafia middleman, and shoot the guy not cooperating themselves and plant drugs on them. That's why when a cop murders an innocent person and/or commits a crime, they get punished with a few weeks of paid vacation instead of getting put in jail, their union threatens anyone trying to get justice.

Y'all dumbasses should look up why there were famines in those communist countries. It sure as shit had fuck all to do with communism. It was a rejection of modern science. To put it in an EXTREMELY simplified way, the guy they had in charge of agriculture didn't believe in evolution, and they forced all the farmers in the USSR and China to plant their crops in stupid ways which caused poor harvests and thus famine. If they simply hadn't rejected modern mainstream science they wouldn't have had the famines.

@Nekeku I didn't say "Communism is bad if I assume an absolute ruler who is very stupid." I never mentioned an absolute ruler, nor will you find anything in what I said that mentions anything equivalent to an absolute ruler. A governing structure can have leaders and leadership structures without needing an absolute ruler. In fact, leadership structures and roles are pretty well mandatory within any kind of civilized society.
Not every decision can be decided practically by mass vote. If someone calls in sick to work at the local power plant, you can't hold a country-wide vote to decide who will cover the shift and just let the power go out until the votes can be cast and tallied. Someone has to have the power to make those decisions without consulting the entire nation.

That aside, as I originally stated, an inherent failing of communism is that it is vulnerable to human error in a way capitalism isn't. If one farmer in a capitalist society makes a poor decision about what crop to grow, that's bad for that farmer, but not every other farmer in the country.
If the Communist Council of Agricultural Affairs, or whatever name they give to the group of experts who were voted in to make decisions about how and when to grow crops, happens to make a mistake then the entire society will suffer as a result.

There are safe guards that can be put in place to prevent this, theoretically. However, it would require convincing a great deal of people, all of whom are considered the most informed about their position by the general populace, that they might be wrong and so they should intentionally build inefficiencies into their plans to help defend against the possibility of them being wrong.
Which is unlikely to happen, to say the least.
Communist models have a very poor track record of taking the human element into account when planning their faux-utopian societies.

Using a general strike to force a supplier that was over-charging you to let you vertically integrate them into your company.

Gabi is learning the lessons of capitalism Very well indeed. I can only imagine her new "accountant" will give her excellent advice on how to shore up the books.
