Thats under crony cap or a keynes economy, 'too big to fail' but under free market they absolutely can fail, some would have if not for the obama bailouts
monopolies often happen thanks to government making it more difficult for newcomers
or popping up big businesses because they are too big to fail, too many people lose jobs
Which is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wounds
Free Markets you get Russia in the 1900s.
Workers rights get abused.
Under free market they would not get bailouts, and the market would turn to other products/business in its place, the best quality/value wins
More like early U.S days
When millions went there and not to be abused
People reee about welfare and its a socialist version of welfare, the free market version is called negative tax income and has never been used
There has to be some government control of the markets, to ensure the businesses aren't abusing the employees,
But i'm not too big on economics
So, it may be a bad idea.
Some sure, but some are also covered by the law, you can't hit your employees
I don't know
And I'm all for labour unions provided they're not mandatory
You can get better conditions that way
And ive read the sigmund freud book leftypol recommended, civilization and its discontent, about peoples egos and wanting what makes them happy - if you want change its not gonna come by way of threats
That goes to anyone, WNs natsocs ancaps, ancoms whatever
Or thats what I took away from the book

throw in a bourgie and you'll fit in good
hi
I have a question for you all: What is with the obession with economics and politics?
@Chillin Chum How's your summer break going, pal?
Summer break?
I graduated 6 years ago.
Do you go to school year round?
If I did. Not anymore.
Politics and economics are vital to society
and they're all fucked up
What if I told you that's only a small part of the story?
Sure, make your case
That it being messed up is only a symptom?
There's always a root cause
what if I told you that........
Ultimately I won't be able to make a wholy satisfying case, I can't just convince anyone on some intellectual ground.
But as far as I can tell, as long as your working with fundamental flaws in humans, or rather relatable mistakes, you'll be stuck making half-way solutions that ultimately won't work under any system if your only focused on economics and politics.
So for starters, I have to question why there should be a focus on a fraction of everything.
