Monopolies are caused by the state
The state implements regulations which set a higher barrier to entry
I said I can't talk in <#452955220473806859>
Talk here
No that's not what I mean jfc
There is no "natural monpopoly"
the state creates them
I mean I'm done talking, class starting
A capitalist economy ( hasn't existed) won't allow a monopoly to form
Something that doesn't exist will not let something that doesn't exist because that something's unregulated somethingness doesn't exist yet
Makes sense, ciao
State capitalism is a complete oxymoron
This doesn't make sense
Regulations drive up costs, thus prices of goods.
Reduce consumer choice
and increase monopolisation
regulations are purely socialist
@el pebble get ur ass here
Can't debate me yourself?
Socialism is when the government *owns* the businesses, regulating the privately owned businesses is corporatism or state capitalism.
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ r u fucking retarded I said I have class
@Fingol Corporationism not state capitalism
But yeah it's not always the case for socialism like that
Venezeula is socialist, I don't think the state or workers own the MoP
but it's over regulated
price controls, over regulation etc
Socialism is an economic system based on the collective ownership of the means of production, and Venezuela is not socialist as opposed to popular belief.
The USSR was socialist
Cuba is socialist
North Korea is socialist
@Fingol Venezeula is socialist
they're literally repressed on the economic freedom
index
Let me show you freer/capitalist countries
That doesn't make socialism per se
Yes it does
These are socialist countries
