Many many things
@name so if the german revolution had won capitalism in germany would be considered failed by your standard, and otherwise it didn't?
Capitalism was failing in Germany
so did capitalism fail in ireland during the mass starvation?
since the society fell apart
During Weimar Republic
Hitler brought Germany back with third positionist policies
don't know enough about germany to know about weimar I'm afraif
yeah, fascism did a lot of good for capitalism
as with social democracy
For capitalism?
They were third position
it was very much capitalism
Neither capitalist nor communist, it was a mix
you cannot mix, then it's a misunderstanding of definitions
Total state control of most industries, heavy regulations, etc
It wasn't free market capitalism
the state was very much involved in the german economy, not really capitalism
saying that the state has anything to do whether it's capitalism or not is incorrect
wrong
If a state forbids you to sell your ''degenerate'' art then it isn't a capitalistic system
It's heavily regulated capitalism I guess
''some lines and squares on a canvas? can't sell em in this country''
states often are
yeah
The NS German economy worked pretty well
yeah
Pre-war at least
you can argue whether that could last or not, but at that time it worked pretty well afaik
also, where do people get taught that capitalism is the ability to freely trade stuff?
I don't think any prominent economist has said this
most do
It's a more pure, libertarian form of capitalism
Unrestricted capitalism
Friedman
can you cite him?
I haven't read him
I recommend this debate highly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3N2sNnGwa4
