it's absolutely a big deal. A marxist will view the world very different than an ancom

2017-07-07 22:03:25 UTC  

like a right-libertarian will view the world very differently than a fascist

2017-07-07 22:03:29 UTC  

Okay dude watch it or don't I don't care

2017-07-07 22:03:45 UTC  

I'm not going to rewatch it to tell you what his side specifically is called

2017-07-07 22:03:55 UTC  

well okay

2017-07-07 22:05:00 UTC  

I'll try and find out by watching the first part

2017-07-07 22:05:10 UTC  

first bit*

2017-07-07 22:10:14 UTC  

oh wow the debate starts 28 minutes in

2017-07-07 22:15:48 UTC  

this comews off as a social democracy vs right-libertarian debate

2017-07-07 22:16:13 UTC  

the only socialist notion I have heard so far was pretty anti-government

2017-07-07 22:20:31 UTC  

it seems to just be a debate about the welfare state

2017-07-07 22:21:37 UTC  

more importantly, I have yet to hear friendman say that capitalism is the free market

2017-07-07 22:41:14 UTC  

and it's over

2017-07-08 07:48:02 UTC  

Hi

2017-07-08 13:40:01 UTC  

If you're saying that a free market is not capitalism I don't know what to tell you

2017-07-08 13:40:13 UTC  

What economic books have you read that claim it isn't?

2017-07-08 13:40:36 UTC  

If you want to learn more about how a capitalist thinks about free market the second part does that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJWLt1TmAy4

2017-07-08 13:41:14 UTC  

Goes in depth on how government intervention (tariffs, subsidized companies etc) decrease the freedom of the market

2017-07-08 13:42:29 UTC  

You seem to think there are millions of forms of socialism but only one form of capitalism (the system we have right now)

2017-07-08 13:42:32 UTC  

Very wrong

2017-07-08 14:45:47 UTC  

Capitalism is an economic system, with a defined definition agreed upon by economists, Timo.

2017-07-08 14:59:52 UTC  

I don't dispute that

2017-07-08 15:03:28 UTC  

If that were the case I don't think we would be seeing what's capitalism or not, even though the global economy functions under the same dynamic.

2017-07-08 15:05:32 UTC  

When you have welfare, tariffs, subsidized industries and the likes you're not dealing with a fully capitalistic system

2017-07-08 15:05:51 UTC  

Free market is almost the exact same thing as capitalism

2017-07-08 15:06:13 UTC  

Or can you show me an example of a free market that does not resemble capitalism?

2017-07-08 15:08:18 UTC  

Market socialists would disagree with you

2017-07-08 15:08:52 UTC  

But then again other socialists would disagree with MarkSocs considering you're still operating an economy at the wil of capital.

2017-07-08 15:08:56 UTC  

will*

2017-07-08 15:09:04 UTC  

Also

2017-07-08 15:09:20 UTC  

If you cannot own your own product without it being collectively owned by ''the people'' you do not have a free market

2017-07-08 15:09:20 UTC  

Yes, regulated capitalism is capitalism

2017-07-08 15:09:40 UTC  

There's more than one form of capitalism

2017-07-08 15:09:45 UTC  

It can only be "partial capitalism" if it defies one of the basic definitional traits of capitalism

2017-07-08 15:10:13 UTC  

There's more than one term to describe capitalist systems and how they pertain to the sociopolitical sphere, yes.

2017-07-08 15:10:19 UTC  

that's why laissez faire capitalism is a thing

2017-07-08 15:10:19 UTC  

Like corporatism and state capitalism

2017-07-08 15:10:46 UTC  

They're still at the end if the day capitalism, economically.

2017-07-08 15:10:47 UTC  

If you have to compete with the state funded company it isn't a free and fair market

2017-07-08 15:11:13 UTC  

the market has become less free when you have to compete with a business that simply will not fail because the state supports it

2017-07-08 15:11:17 UTC  

it's not fair competition
