Perhaps... Mercantlism?

Mercantilism is referred to as early capitalism in Marxism

Eh

I.e when capitalism was still bound to states

And state interest

And before mass industry

You mean.... state capitalism?

Yes and no,

Schrodinger’s State Capitalism

Lol

Anyway, I have to sleep, and wait silently for a certain german’s autism to act up

The main distinction was divorcing capitalism from nation state policy , i.e the actions of capital were no longer subservient to national or imperial interests

@Puma who's?

@Farseer Selna Vesha lol when did that ever happen?

And the capitalism had become a truely global phenomenon , globalism started in the 19th century truely,

@Fitzydog roughly around the 19th century, though one can argue mercantilism didn't completely end until the 70s when the USA ended the last gold backed currency

It's own

I'd argue the opposite

The market was largely unimpeded until the state took a controlling interest in it by monopolizing the control of the currency and regulating the market

I'm also gonna go to bed, it's late here and I shouldn't be up late arguing with random liberals on the internet

>when you think everyone else is a liberal

good shit m8

@Deleted User I mean, we are aren't we?

dab on them libs epic style

@Fitzydog post 8val

When i say liberal I use it in its true meaning, not the corrupted meaning the USA turned it into, for example being anti gun is pretty anti liberal

^

Us "liberals" on the other hand get rock hard over security theatre like gun control

there's actual conservatives on this server

Pisses me off though because here in Europe most bought into the anti gun meme

@Deleted User > implying conservatives aren't Liberal

A large portion of American conservatives are comfortable liberals,

Though the evangelicals can be described as theocrats

I dunno why republicans tolerate them despite them literally violating the secularism within the us constitution

And advocating for such

@Farseer Selna Vesha They're pretty much nonexistant these days

because they're a useful base

@Deleted User most conservatives are conserving liberal ideals of older times or just in general, the US left on the other hand is trying to turn the USA into a social democracy

If they want a social democracy, they can move elsewhere

there's plenty of countries in the world that are social democracies
