What?

2019-10-27 21:25:24 UTC  

The populace being stupid essentially

2019-10-27 21:25:39 UTC  

Ah, so it's the peoples fault free market capitalism doesn't work

2019-10-27 21:25:43 UTC  

*Delusional.*

2019-10-27 21:25:55 UTC  

Well to an extent

2019-10-27 21:26:03 UTC  

No right-wing government will do anything about it @Great Britain

2019-10-27 21:26:09 UTC  

They can't do anything to their precious free markets.

2019-10-27 21:26:38 UTC  

The Free Market encourages people to set up businesses based on their own ideas to stimulate the economy instead of any state doing it but if the people refuse to set up any businesses then the system starts to fail

2019-10-27 21:26:52 UTC  

So why haven't people done that then? @The Electric Lizard

2019-10-27 21:26:58 UTC  

Like i just said

2019-10-27 21:27:08 UTC  

"if the people refuse to set up any businesses then the system starts to fail"

2019-10-27 21:27:17 UTC  

So your system doesn't seem to work in practice then?

2019-10-27 21:27:22 UTC  

Big tech is just another branch of the government, the cia is heavily involved with google and facebook

2019-10-27 21:27:25 UTC  

Much like communism?

2019-10-27 21:27:38 UTC  

It depends on the current populace of the nation

2019-10-27 21:27:55 UTC  

So, under some very strict and specific conditions your system will work?

2019-10-27 21:28:00 UTC  

An under general conditions, it will not?

2019-10-27 21:28:01 UTC  

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-10-27 21:28:22 UTC  

If the populace are very entrepreneurial then the system can flourish

2019-10-27 21:29:06 UTC  

Wow, must be like out populace then.

2019-10-27 21:30:00 UTC  

And it's not under strict conditions, The Free Market has worked successfully for a long time, However the modern world has led to a populace that is less willing to set up businesses which has led to our system changing from a big competition between small businesses into a society centred around a few big businesses

2019-10-27 21:30:14 UTC  

It's based all on the Populace

2019-10-27 21:31:01 UTC  

"However the modern world has led to a populace that is less willing to set up businesses"

2019-10-27 21:31:11 UTC  

So your system doesn't work in our times.

2019-10-27 21:31:15 UTC  

Just like communism.

2019-10-27 21:31:41 UTC  

No, I would say that it can work however only with reforms to our current policy

2019-10-27 21:31:49 UTC  

And it is working currently

2019-10-27 21:31:52 UTC  

Just not very well

2019-10-27 21:32:01 UTC  

So we need to radically change the way our people work / think?

2019-10-27 21:32:56 UTC  

We need a system that encourages people to set up businesses and creates a culture of entrepreneurship while also making it more difficult for big businesses to dominate entire industries

2019-10-27 21:33:37 UTC  

We also need a culture that promotes the family and community

2019-10-27 21:33:46 UTC  

That too

2019-10-27 21:34:25 UTC  

> We need a system that encourages people to set up businesses

2019-10-27 21:34:29 UTC  

Like those tax breaks?

2019-10-27 21:34:32 UTC  

Why haven't they worked then?

2019-10-27 21:34:33 UTC  

Because we are all very atomised at the moment and not getting a whole lot done to fix our communities and help the vulnerable.

2019-10-27 21:34:47 UTC  

> while also making it more difficult for big businesses to dominate entire industries

2019-10-27 21:34:51 UTC  

So your not for the free markets?

2019-10-27 21:35:14 UTC  

You have to give me a chance to respond before asking another question you know

2019-10-27 21:36:45 UTC  

The Tax Breaks haven't worked because the reason people aren't setting up businesses is not necessarily because they can't afford to although that will the case sometimes but largely because of the culture we live in, Our current culture no longer inclines people to attempt to set up businesses which i would argue is the larger reason

2019-10-27 21:38:39 UTC  

Now when it comes to stopping businesses from domination entire industries i am not calling for State Regulation to prevent it i am calling for a larger emphasis and encouragement being placed on people to not use those particular businesses
