The most stable democracies are those that disperse power
Democracy, is simply the tyranny of the majority.
That's the best capitalism, little government interference in the markets
**No rulers.**
Innovation is driven by many, many things beyond market pressures. The Wright Brothers only took flight because they were promised government bounty. The Soviets were way ahead of the US for more of the Space Race. This growth came before modern capitalism, and will continue well past it.
Based
Gross and wrong but okay
The Wright Brothers, did so without using government money, though.
Their competitors did. And they did so because there was a...***demand***, even If forced by government.
Right so
That was government making incentive
This system can exist even if necessities are public goods
I'm not against a market for luxuries between now and when automation can provide for a post-scarcity society.
Just if economic governmentation must exist, which is what a business is, it ought to be made in democratic fashion
Post-scarcity is a fantasy
Perhaps, and if such then my plans for systems after a democratic market will simply have to rest
But I don't believe this to be meaningfully the case
The end goal is malleable to reality, and if impossible then other plans will be made.

And you think anarchist capitalism would not deteriorate into neofeudalism so
I still. Dont understand that argument.
Power breeds power. Capital breeds capital. Coercion and monopolize thereof, and encouraged by the way the market demands growth and the effectiveness of monopoly
Eventually a business too will attempt to make itself be the only possible option just as the state does
Monopolization. Only happens in such immediate way, through Government intervention.
Businesses are goverment
<:DeadInside:717442742594175017> H o w, though.
They dont enact force upon you.
And you Join It voluntarily.
A government simply establishes itself as rule, and fuck all.
Government can be voluntary you doof
Yea the bread shop owned by a 70 year old man is the government
and the moon is the sun
*a government
Not THE government
its still isn’t
"conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (an organization or people)."
Businesses literally do this
Dont Tell me. You think private ownership upon a space, and employing voluntary employees to take functions into it = Government
They govern
Cause they own places that require people to manage
To be a government, you need....a force, to be able to coerce others.
If it makes collective decisions for others it governs. Thus is government.
