And this was far earlier than the medieval ages

2019-05-02 02:21:23 UTC  

You'd have to first give x amount of all products produced to the crown and they could at anytime seize your means

2019-05-02 02:21:44 UTC  

Venice made their money because they traded via the crowns

2019-05-02 02:21:48 UTC  

except the government can still seize your means

2019-05-02 02:21:51 UTC  

in today's eras

2019-05-02 02:21:56 UTC  

does capitalism not exist then?

2019-05-02 02:22:24 UTC  

The U.S. Government literally has eminent domain for this reason.

2019-05-02 02:22:30 UTC  

They'll seize your assets and underpay you

2019-05-02 02:22:44 UTC  

You have to give x amount of products (in form of taxed currency) to the government

2019-05-02 02:23:12 UTC  

But, here's the difference, as I said is that now we have a modernized Capitalism and prior to then began market feudalism. Now we currently have that. Prior we had crown held a majority of the economic power

2019-05-02 02:23:22 UTC  

Now the individual holds most economic power

2019-05-02 02:23:26 UTC  

Crowns did not hold majority of the economic power

2019-05-02 02:23:34 UTC  

why do you think the royalty family sponsored merchants

2019-05-02 02:24:02 UTC  

So they did sponsor merchants??

2019-05-02 02:24:13 UTC  

???

2019-05-02 02:24:18 UTC  

Also here are my five sources

2019-05-02 02:24:56 UTC  

Like Hobbes would reference in his *Leviathan*, the King does not get rich if he does not make his kingdom rich.

2019-05-02 02:25:13 UTC  

The crown doesn't control all the economic power, he doesn't dictate trading policy

2019-05-02 02:25:23 UTC  

He just says "here's some money, now go get me some good shit on the way home"

2019-05-02 02:25:31 UTC  

Even nobles did this

2019-05-02 02:25:46 UTC  

They would send one of their serf to a neighboring noble's land to see if there were any product of value

2019-05-02 02:25:48 UTC  

and bring back home

2019-05-02 02:26:39 UTC  

It's how Marco Polo's story even got started

2019-05-02 02:26:50 UTC  

He borrowed some money and got a ship to China

2019-05-02 02:26:56 UTC  

He didn't borrow money from the Crown

2019-05-02 02:27:07 UTC  

The Crown already has too much bureaucracy to handle banking so it devolved into local banking institutes or guilds.

2019-05-02 02:27:09 UTC  

They just want to tax

2019-05-02 02:27:36 UTC  

The rise of the middle class in the form of guild system existed during feudalism

2019-05-02 02:29:23 UTC  

The only REAL free market existed long before feudalism but in the early history of man

2019-05-02 02:29:44 UTC  

Where government did not care if there was a monopoly, where they did not care about abusing laborers and cutting maintenance cost on slaves

2019-05-02 02:29:50 UTC  

so as long as the government was getting some $$$ off it

2019-05-02 02:32:28 UTC

did you just say gn an hour ago

2019-05-02 04:59:10 UTC  

Nobody does the intermitten fasting of sleeping

2019-05-02 08:27:51 UTC  

No

2019-05-02 08:27:59 UTC  

What

2019-05-02 17:17:55 UTC  

why isn't there an alt right role ?

2019-05-02 17:20:58 UTC  

Because there also isn’t a radical left role.
