Isn't regulated market actually leads to monopoly.

2018-10-19 07:14:01 UTC  

I think it depends

2018-10-19 07:14:37 UTC  

Most often, the issues with an economic system lies in the people in charge rather than the structure itself

2018-10-19 07:14:58 UTC  

@OOFgouf Well, market is a competition and you can win in it. As you can see the companies only become bigger. Capital accumulates.

2018-10-19 07:15:25 UTC  

I don't really care about winning it

2018-10-19 07:15:37 UTC  

I want a society that can hold itself up

2018-10-19 07:15:38 UTC  

There would be monopolies in the US if not the anti-monopoly laws.

2018-10-19 07:16:29 UTC  

@OOFgouf The only way capitalism would work properly (including Fascism) is by denying profit as a main goal. But it can't happen.

2018-10-19 07:21:15 UTC  

Egalitarianism is anti-science

2018-10-19 07:21:22 UTC  

😤

2018-10-19 07:26:56 UTC  

@Kfish It's the only way to develop properly. The privileges and lack of social elevators (sometimes even the institution of inheritance) prevent talented people from starting to bring benefits to society.

2018-10-19 07:28:45 UTC  

@Kfish In the Russian Empire there were almost no scientists who had left the peasantry. But in the USSR with a free education - a huge number of peasants became scientists and advanced science.

2018-10-19 07:29:02 UTC  

For example.

2018-10-19 07:30:24 UTC  

@YMHUK42 That would be meritocracy though. Pure egalitarianism throughout is anti-science

2018-10-19 07:30:52 UTC  

Obviously the USSR wasnt gonna accept downies that try to become scientists

2018-10-19 07:31:56 UTC  

@Kfish Communism does not declare that people are biologically equal.

2018-10-19 07:32:14 UTC  

But they should be socially equal.

2018-10-19 07:32:28 UTC  

Have equal opportunities.

2018-10-19 07:33:05 UTC  

so farmers should be paid the same amount as sscientists?

2018-10-19 07:33:34 UTC  

After the revolution we shall turn Christmas socalist an make Marx santa ..he shall be santa marx

2018-10-19 07:34:15 UTC  

@Kfish No. But the difference shouldn't be like "Scientists can buy anything and farmers are starve".

2018-10-19 07:34:27 UTC  

yeah that makes sense

2018-10-19 07:34:36 UTC  

I dont see why we even disagree otherwise

2018-10-19 07:35:13 UTC  

In some socialist models physical laborers earn more than office workers to offset risk and physical stress, so they can work less

2018-10-19 07:35:35 UTC  

@👻S🅱ooccy👻 It's because such work ruins health.

2018-10-19 07:36:17 UTC  

Well yea, but also office work is typically less demanding and enjoyed more too

2018-10-19 07:36:17 UTC  

Like miners or steel-factory workers.

2018-10-19 07:37:39 UTC  

@Kfish It's actually interesting that the most open-minded right-wingers I have met were libertarians.

2018-10-19 07:37:46 UTC  

pretty sure moving left wasnt inevitable, moving towards non-ideologycucked systems was what happened

2018-10-19 07:38:11 UTC  

thats why most superpowers are authoritarian or centrist

2018-10-19 07:38:40 UTC  

if you arent restricted by your ideals

2018-10-19 07:38:47 UTC  

Anarchists couldn't manage a superpower tbh

2018-10-19 07:39:05 UTC  

@👻S🅱ooccy👻 because there is no such thing as pragmatism for anarchists

2018-10-19 07:39:21 UTC  

anyone doing anything would go against their ideology

2018-10-19 07:39:57 UTC  

At least not in popular examples of anarchy there's no pragmatism

2018-10-19 07:41:33 UTC  

Most societies move towards populism or leftism naturally tho as a result of worker and citizens struggle historically, this is also the stage most empires collapse because the elite want to retain power

2018-10-19 07:42:21 UTC  

not particularly a bad thing

2018-10-19 07:43:02 UTC  

just wish they could get the saudis first
