meaning

**there are other players**

@riacan Austrians , Chicago and Adam Smith agree with me

called "state"

where do you define a free market?

😂

Define corporation

surely a market is never free while the state exists

Free market is seperstion if state and market

```As used by right-wing apologists for “free market capitalism” (an oxymoron if ever there was one), capitalism is the source of everything good in the world — but also something that never existed. And it switches repeatedly back and forth from one to the other, every couple of sentences, in the same argument. ```

And capitalism is the free market

one can only guess you believe america is socialist then

god help us

No

wow but America is socialist u idiot

It’s not socialist but it’s definitely not capitalist

trump is a fascist and the fascists are socialist

sure adam smith totally agrees with you

which is why he said "The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state"

It’s close to a freer market

how can u separate state and market when the state automatically imposes things like taxation and property onto the market <:GWfroggyBlobThonk:400751075776397322>

As it’s rated free in the economic freedom index

@Bernard you’re missing the point

I see smith TOTALLY agrees with you

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_market_anarchism

In a free market there is now stag intervention

@riacan our of context

He said the free market is capitalism

and he’s not referring to any economy currently

and support for the state

doesn’t matter

you evidently do not agree

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ wow you're a senior citizen already

question
would banning slavery in a free market make said market unfree?

He has said the free market is capitalism

@ritasuma they'd enslave you by contract

would you like the full quote?

Same with Austrians

"The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state. The expense of government to the individuals of a great nation is like the expense of management to the joint tenants of a great estate, who are all obliged to contribute in proportion to their respective interests in the estate. In the observation or neglect of this maxim consists what is called the equality or inequality of taxation. Every tax, it must be observed once for all, which falls finally upon one only of the three sorts of revenue above mentioned, is necessarily unequal in so far as it does not affect the other two. In the following examination of different taxes I shall seldom take much further notice of this sort of inequality, but shall, in most cases, confine my observations to that inequality which is occasioned by a particular tax falling unequally even upon that particular sort of private revenue which is affected by it. "

Chicago’s

you clearly don't seem to understand smith
