I tend to see totally free markets and communism as basically two sides of the same dream coin: Awesome ideas in theory, but impossible to implement in practice because it doesn't factor in humans.

A free market is incredibly easy to implement

You just probably won't like what's being sold in some corners

i think the only debate in which communism might even be interesting is post-scarcity, but thats a sci-fi, startrek etc society that doesn't and may never exist

The PRoblem is the monopolization of a totally free market and how some big compnays will kick everys competition out

@Ottobon It won't. Post-scarcity is basically a contradiction.

I'm not convinced that's an issue with the market as much as market meddling

Furthermore, people are greedy.

Tbh

i relish the oppertunity to break down your moral system brick by brick

I WILL MAKE YOU AGREE THAT SOME OF YOUR SYSTEMS ARE BASED ON THE "IRRATIONAL" SYSTEM OF BELIEF AND FAITH

(according to my wide definition of faith)

>land and labour are a result of government
You've lost me

@Atkins smart

It's an impenetrable defense against clickbait.

"while it fiercely represses the fact that power and coercion are the unacknowledged features of all market participation." Wew

We getting a little socialist rhetoric in here

Yeah, and the funny thing is that you can make the same argument for Socialism. "Power and Coercion" are universal.

It's a new rallying cry to make economic authoritarianism as more "free"
