Students Support Socialism... Until It's Applied To Their GPA

Would college students support a policy that would force those with high GPAs to donate part of their own GPA to help those with lower grades?
With the recent rise of politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, more people than ever support socialist policies. But would they support socialist policies when it came to their GPA?
We went to Florida International University to find out.

    In Argentina we are rule by socialism and here socialism people always say "We want to the government to give to the people" but in the next statement "we want the government to low the inflation" by the way in Argentina we have 45% inflation annually, because the government doesn't have enough money to pay the socialist politics .

It is true the rich get Richer in capitalist world but same is also true in socialist world.

    Conservatrons like the con man in this video misunderstands socialism. Wealth is quantity, mathematically, it can be spread around evenly, although the mega-rich won't be so rich any more. Grades are a rating of quality, mathematically everyone can get 4.0, without diminishing each other. a more accurate analogy would be: Capitalism means the people who worked the hardest get, sweating in factories, 40 hours a week, get a grade of 1.0, while the people who work the least hardest, lounging in air-conditioned offices, get 4.0. It's grossly unfair conservative con-games don't fool intelligent people.

    @@CaesarCassius Grades are only a metric of quality if everyone studies for the same number of hours per semester. However, we know this not to be true as people that recognise that they are average, put in more time to bridge the gap between their more gifted peers and themselves. Therefore, grades are a combined metric of intellect and effort. Same with money. The amount you earn is not just based on time you spent working. It a combined metric of time spent, ability to deliver output and difficulty of replacing you. So the time spent can be equated with time spent in both cases and intellect can be equated with ability to deliver output. As far as difficulty to replace is concerned, it is also a combined metric of your grades, experience (which again, is a measure of effort) and selection of a stream which is fairly rarely selected by individuals. So when it comes down to it, earning money and earning grades is exactly the same from a quantitative and qualitative perspective and earning money has an additional factor which in by itself is a combined metric of effort, foresight and ability to deliver output. So no, if you are all for redistribution of wealth you must also be all for redistribution of wealth. Can't have it both ways. It doesn't really matter though. If you do not support redistribution of grades, you will make it through college with all your grades intact and then have to share your wealth with the rest of us anyway. So sharing or not sharing of grades really doesn't matter if you are socialist.

    That's fine, just give everyone a grade of 1.0 no matter what result, and if undeserved, you still won't get far in reality. But it's the same with money, once the wealthy corrupt elites are stripped of their capital with it redistributed,, only the truly deserving will get ahead after that and the currently privileged will be revealed for who they are.

    Equality of opportunity is a socialist goal. Children born into households with differential emphases on study, homework completion, assistance with assignments, discipline and monetary and time investment will not have equal opportunities in life. To achieve that, you'd have to have a single authority raise all the kids in a uniform and equal way. Equality of opportunity therefore requires a very totalitarian version of communism

    You do realize socialism if we follow it to its conclusion, it’s a more industrious hardworking society. Most people have no right to being a socialist, but, the ones who truly understand it know that it will be a more challenging, yet more fair society. If you’re privileged and rich, if you support it you generally realize it’s to help people who don’t have the same advantages as you (advantages that weren’t earned through any merit, just spawn point RNG) An example is colleges/education, if everyone has the opportunity to go, and are given you know a basic quality of life guaranteed, it would increase the pool of students hence making admissions more competitive, whilst getting rid of racist policies like affirmative action. The thing is, socialism is a word that has lost it’s meaning due to a combination of McCarthyism, CIA special influence campaign on culture/education, and just poor education/a society where critical thinking isn’t taught formally in any sort of capacity. Even discrete math classes and so on don’t teach you much, it’s moreso an Anglo form of logic/reasoning, that is different from just general common sense that people like Socrates would use.

So while some European countries are higher taxed for ‘free’ insurance, we still have to pay it directly. Nothing wrong with that we just need to admit that free lunch doesn’t exist.

    No, if you want to keep what you worked for, you're a socialist. In capitalism, the majority of your grades would go to the class president and the average student would keep a small fraction of their own work, while the people at the top benefited most. Even in a lowly job like working at McDonalds. Take a look at how much you'd be making if you purchased the ingredients yourself and got paid per burger you sold. It'd be a hell of a lot more than minimum wage. The illusion that you're keeping your work in capitalism is a total lie.

A salary isn't keeping the benefits of your work, it's a participation trophy. You get it just by showing up. And like you said yourself, it doesn't matter how awful your work is, you still get paid. The equivalent in college would be "You negotiated beforehand to get a C grade just for sitting in your seat and doing the assignments, you can't get any higher for the year. " And guess what, students would HATE that too. People have this overly glorified view of capitalism, because everyone envisions themselves the business owner and not the exploited worker.

    taragnor if you purchase the ingredients yourself then you are running a business which takes a lot more skill than flipping burgers on a stove. Also, the business owner PURCHASES ingredients which means that he has expenses, whereas the minimum wage worker doesn’t have to buy anything for the business. So of course you’ll make more than minimum wage as the business owner due to the facts that it requires more skill and you have to spend money out of your own pocket in order to pay your workers and buy all the necessary supplies.

    they're using a strawman to attack it? on the surface sure it's sharing something you work for, but like the way gpa's work is to set you apart from others in the skill of your field supposedly, where-as the use of money is to live/live comfortable. is it not inherently immoral to say others should live a unhealthy lifestyle just cause they "don't work hard enough"? that their families should as well? if it's not immoral, should we not allow poor people to have kids, should we force them to work for their food and home as well, or should we provide for them? the first two i hope you can see if obviously immoral, and agree with me on that at the least, if the third that's socialist to some degree, and if none then what do you suggest instead? on the otherhand it's not immoral to say someone is better at what they do than someone else, in my opinion at least. it may lead to better jobs, and could lead to those with a lower gpa failing, and it could easily be due to outside forces such as illness that's not something they can control. it could in theory sometimes lead to those who's gpa's you're not helping be raised, to not be able to find a livable job as well, however i don't think that's the issue with it, i think it's the other system, the one which it's being compared to that's the issue

    You all know America has socialist inspired programs right? All of which benefit you in your everyday lives? Now that doesnt mean socialism is the end-all-be-all. Every system has its flaws. Socialism is ripe with corruption. In the same vein capitalism can be too, albeit less up front. Perfect example of Capitalism being corrupt is the pharmaceutical industry. Why are life saving drugs so expensive in America when the same drugs are way less cheaper in other countries? Insulin being a perfect example. Finding a good mix of the two and just being a decent human goes a long way.

    This is the worst comparsion you could ever do. Don't get me wrong, you can go too far to the left as you can go too far to the right. GPA allows the selection of the greatest intellectuals among a university, if you "give away" your GPA you're ruining your country with bad engineers, doctors, historians, etc because everyone is put in the same condition, giving the illusion they all have the same qualities. In an economic way, giving away a small part of your salary to, let's say, Healthcare, doesn't only help you but helps others. In the USA, only the elite doesn't get indebted if they are in need of hospital services - actually, there are reports of people preferring to die rather than going to the hospital - so, by giving away a small fraction of your salary to Healthcare, every single working person can afford to be treated in an hospital.

Now due to the recent events, most companies and institutions start to unanimously repeal prop 209. In the future, you will have more cases similar to Vijay Jojo Chokal-Ingam due to affirmative action. In regards to your hospital comment, government subsidies will always cause hospitals to cost-shift, which will either increase cost or bankrupt the hospital because laboratory services to Medicare inpatients are reimbursed at an amt that is often not enough to cover expenses thanks to the Medicare's DRG system.

    ​@@rubencarvalho2272 A socialist against affirmative action, never thought I'd encounter such a rare specimen. Here's the thing, you seem to be generalizing failure in healthcare to only cost without realizing most of those cost incurred are the direct result of cost-shifting. I work in molecular pathology labs, so understanding the difference between point of care and cost per test is important. Medicare has been allowing insurances to price fix, and Medicare reimbursements for primary care haven't increased since the early 1990s-while costs have gone up dramatically. You don't just subsidize more into an already broken system. The CPT and DRG systems made it so we must answer mostly to the federal government more than the patient. You would notice this when your primary care physician pays more attention to the computer than you. If you are a Democrat, you should be familiar with Bernie's plan, which focuses at getting insurance companies out of the picture instead on emphasizing cost reduction (which is far more effective) like Andrew Yang's. Getting insurance companies out of the picture is EXACTLY what is going to cut medical cost by half and reduce the need to cost shift significantly. As happened in other countries. The government becomes the only "insurance company". So every medical service provider (doctor, hospital, pharma company) who wants to stay in business and have customers, needs to accept the prices that the government is willing to pay. And guess what? There is a also a downside. The US government, which also has to compensate for other countries (e.g. Germany) failure to meet GDP spending on other organizations such as NATO, is going to reimburse at prices half of what service providers are charging now due to priority appropriation budgeting. Single payer health care system has its limits, which is why many providers here are choosing direct pay healthcare in America. Unfortunately in regards to SARS-CoV2, I don't think you are seeing the full picture. It is more than just cost per treatment. Yes, we have a financial incentive from Medicare to put COVID patients on ventilators, despite ventilators being the last resort option (MATH+ protocol comes first). However, you should know the difference between dying WITH and dying FROM, as Birx suggested before that US CDC data can't be trusted with direct accuracy. It is literally on the CDC protocol for death certificates regarding the virus, if you die while positive, you WILL be counted regardless of cause. You should also know how much medicine has been politicized recently in America. Refer to the Lancet/NEJM retracted articles pertaining to Surgisphere if you want to know more. It is quite literally the pandemic's first of many research scandals. Not to mention Fauci is one of the few health experts who remained consistent on social distancing and decontamination guidelines when it came to protests of any kind, unlike others who exhibit double standards. No one is surprised with the recent uptick in cases in half the states. You simply have people (we call them 白左 in China) in America willing to risk the well-being of others for simple and selfish act of virtue signalling. 70 coronavirus test sites were destroyed in George Floyd protests, I wonder why testing has decreased? (Hint: significant supplies of viral transport reagents was lost in the past 2 weeks) Wonder why contact tracing is not going well? (Hint: contact tracers working for the NYC government have been instructed NOT to ask anyone who is tested positive whether they had recently attended a demonstration). IF you still don't think the political manipulation of health data is what screwed us up significantly, I have a bridge to sell you.

    I agree that all those students in the video were idiots, but their inability to adequately respond to his equivocation between money and GPA doesn’t make the relationship true. The goal of capitalism is to maximize individual contribution to the economy, through productivity, profits, investments, etc. The associated goal of a GPA then is to maximize your contribution to the academic “economy”, through hard work, intellectual deliberation, etc. The main difference between money and GPA is that money is a tool that allows for exchange vital for economic growth. But if I give a portion of a higher GPA to a lower GPA, that individual who received the lower GPA doesn’t get a tool to become more intelligent, more able to participate in classes, more involved on campus. They do not gain access to skills necessary to improve their academic “economy”, they just have a number. Money, on the other hand, when redistributed is vital to creating growth. Poor individuals often can’t get a quality education for themselves or their children since they are working long hours for little money. They spend it on necessities and reduce qualities, like ok food, a not great living situation, public transportation, a poor education. However, with redistribution (not literally giving people money but investing in policies that encourage good education, occupational, and economic decision making for example), those individuals now have greater access to spend money and invest in themselves. They can work less hours since they now have economic incentives to get an education and utilize these redistributive policies. With a better education for themselves and their kids, they can go off to be greater and more productive members of the economy, and get more money, and contribute economically as both a worker and a consumer. This money is then spent on products that help the individuals who are rich owners of these companies. The money they invest in poorer individuals doesn’t only contribute to economic growth overall, but returns into the pockets of those who gave it away initially. This is the growth capitalists desire and fail to achieve. Instead, we have an unimaginably high disparity between the rich and the poor. Also, hate to break it to you, we are NOT a capitalistic economy in America. We are a MIXED economy, that combines both ideological components of capitalism and socialism. So if you support the American economic system, you are a socialist just like the students in that video lmao.

    Hard comparison; i’m not for one for socialism, but it’s a sharing of an asset versus sharing an academic rating. It’s akin to sharing your credit score versus sharing your money. One changes your eligibility for certain things where as the other simply deduces from your assets. Aside from that, the student’s explanations were still hypocritical and fallacious.

    Money changes your eligibility for things as well. It changes your eligibility to be a member of a community through buying a house with higher rated schools or closer proximity to healthcare and grocery stores; it allows you to have personal transportation rather than public, pay off a large purchase sooner to avoid interest rates or higher insurance premiums, it changes your access to entertainment (concerts, streaming services, restaurants). Money is like opportunity which is why it can be traded so easily. Money is just a store of value just as GPA is a certain store of value. The biggest difference is that GPA is a less readily/directly transferable store of value. You can’t just trade GPA points for material goods upon graduation. The GPA would have to be utilized for program/job potential, which would turn into work, which then becomes a paycheck with which you could buy material goods. An academic rating is an asset just as money is. A credit score is also an asset.

So using the analogy, if someone is procrastinating and not studying for their exams, they deserve a low GPA. In life, same thing applies. But if you work hard in life, you can still struggle.

    The comparison is absurd to begin with. GPA and money are not comparable. Most important, money is inherently an exchangeable thing that retains its value from one hand to the next. If I give some money to you, the money we both have remains legal tender. Contrarily, you cannot share GPA without rendering said GPA immediately worthless to everyone. GPA is only valuable because it signals mastery of content and allows you to meet standards so you can succeed. If you get a GPA, but learn nothing, the GPA is useless. Facilating that is wrong because distributing GPA hurts the "recipient" by falsely signaling to authority competence for further coursework/jobs. Likewise, the person giving up the GPA no longer meets qualification standards, thus he is suffering an unreasonable loss that prohibits him from succeeding. .He becomes "under-qualified." The issue is that my GPA no longer reflects mastery, and neither does his, thus we both lose. Since he only had his passing GPA through fraud, he will likely fail, thus rendering the effort inherently pointless. He's going to require socialist redistribution of wealth anyway when he loses his job or fails later courses. I am fine with giving people stuff they didn't earn if it will prevent them from suffering and they cannot help themselves, so long as in doing so, I am not making worthless what I give them or impoverishing myself. Giving someone access to basic medical care, food, etc actually DOES help them without rendering said goods worthless. I am not impoverished myself by giving up some money for these purposes, and in the end, I also benefit from it with them. But if I allow someone unqualified to pass, I am helping no one and hurting everyone. So my opposition to "redistributing GPA" is not based on any emotional inconsistent offense taken at having to give something to someone unearned. It's just that it's a waste of time. Much like how it would be a waste to time travel and give the plans for a nuclear reactor to 2nd century peasants at the cost of me being stuck in antiquity. Serves no purpose as they can't do anything with it anyway while just fucking myself over. These kinds of comparisons are not honest.They are pseduo-intellectual "gotcha" scenarios conservatives think are super duper clever, but they aren't. All it takes is a little critical thinking to dismantle them because they aren't based on any serious thought.

    Conservatrons like the con man in this video misunderstands socialism. Wealth is quantity, mathematically, it can be spread around evenly, although the mega-rich won't be so rich any more. Grades are a rating of quality, mathematically everyone can get 4.0, without diminishing each other. a more accurate analogy would be: Capitalism means the people who worked the hardest get, sweating in factories, 40 hours a week, get a grade of 1.0, while the people who work the least hardest, lounging in air-conditioned offices, get 4.0. It's grossly unfair conservative con-games don't fool intelligent people.

Why do they deserve more money than the value which they produced? Bill Gates gave the world computers, Steve Jobs gave us the iPhone, Ford gave us affordable automobiles... they created billion dollar industries out of thin air. That's what capitalism is about.

    An genuinely interesting little experiment, but like all arguments from analogy, its force depends upon solvency of the analogy itself. And, in this case, the analogy falls apart upon closer inspection. Income is theoretically unlimited. You can always earn more, and you can always replenish losses incurred through taxation. University GPAs, by contrast, have a fixed upper limit; no matter how hard you study or how well you perform in class, you can't earn higher than a 4.0. More importantly, once you drop below a 4.0, it is impossible, even in principle, to return your GPA to its previous level. The two situations are thus disanalogous, and logical consistency never requires applying like principles to unlike situations.
