What?
The populace being stupid essentially
Ah, so it's the peoples fault free market capitalism doesn't work
*Delusional.*
Well to an extent
No right-wing government will do anything about it @Great Britain
They can't do anything to their precious free markets.
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
So why haven't people done that then? @The Electric Lizard
Like i just said
"if the people refuse to set up any businesses then the system starts to fail"
So your system doesn't seem to work in practice then?
Big tech is just another branch of the government, the cia is heavily involved with google and facebook
Much like communism?
It depends on the current populace of the nation
So, under some very strict and specific conditions your system will work?
An under general conditions, it will not?
<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
If the populace are very entrepreneurial then the system can flourish
Wow, must be like out populace then.
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
It's based all on the Populace
"However the modern world has led to a populace that is less willing to set up businesses"
So your system doesn't work in our times.
Just like communism.
No, I would say that it can work however only with reforms to our current policy
And it is working currently
Just not very well
So we need to radically change the way our people work / think?
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
We also need a culture that promotes the family and community
That too
> We need a system that encourages people to set up businesses
Like those tax breaks?
Why haven't they worked then?
Because we are all very atomised at the moment and not getting a whole lot done to fix our communities and help the vulnerable.
> while also making it more difficult for big businesses to dominate entire industries
So your not for the free markets?
You have to give me a chance to respond before asking another question you know
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
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
