2019-09-09 20:40:08 UTC  

and everyone dies together...

2019-09-09 21:06:31 UTC  

I mean, when you have a system designed to serve need that tends to be the outcome.

If there's one game that perfectly displays the dangers of the extreme capitalism + free market and Communism... It's Bioshock 1 and 2

2019-09-09 21:21:54 UTC  

Minecraft displays early nomadic times to a T

If she does not play the craft

2019-09-09 21:40:56 UTC  

I don't know about it displaying the dangers of capitalism, isn't the dude who runs Rapture basically a dictator and it becomes more of a lawless anarchist dystopia than a capitalist system?

Personally, I think a healthy blend of Capitalism and Socialism where basic necessities are assured but comfort and luxury must be earned is more or less an ideal system. Wealth is generated by people's desire to get ahead, the well-being and opportunities of the masses is secured by regulations and basic social programs such as free _essential_ healthcare (cancer treatments, necessary surgery, et cetera,) and the economy is independent enough from the government that power does not consolidate in the hands of politicians alone, but regulated enough that the top 1% cannot use their wealth and influence to screw over the average citizen for personal gain. In my mind, the key to a truly free world is a mostly free market with just enough regulation to keep anyone from being able to ever fully control it.

2019-09-09 23:48:58 UTC  

Honestly, though, no matter what you do almost any system can be corrupted eventually.

2019-09-09 23:49:20 UTC  

congratulations, you're a centrist

2019-09-09 23:49:59 UTC  

I've always thought of myself as decently far to the left, to be honest.

2019-09-09 23:50:19 UTC  

At least on the American left/right scale.

2019-09-09 23:50:42 UTC  

i guess it's most dependent on how you view the right/left divide

2019-09-09 23:51:15 UTC  

i believe transgender people, gay people and women should 100% have the same rights but i still see myself as very right wing

2019-09-09 23:51:42 UTC  

I guess. I tend to side with AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and et cetera on most issues.

2019-09-09 23:52:34 UTC  

This is when you need some economic conversations

2019-09-09 23:52:48 UTC  

I do wish more right wing politicians shared your stance concerning social politics, Austrian.

2019-09-09 23:53:22 UTC  

I think you have a "zero-sum" premise in your understanding of free markets if you think that, without government regulation, they naturally result in one company owning everything, Monopoly-board-game-style.

2019-09-09 23:53:47 UTC  

The way i see it, i believe in competition and hierarchy, and people who don't want these people to have equal rights are scared at the fact they'll have new competition

2019-09-09 23:54:05 UTC  

its a sign of not just unfairness but weakness in my eyes

2019-09-09 23:54:26 UTC  

Well, I think that any system without checks and balances of some kind can eventually fail. Power corrupts, and if power consolidates, that becomes even more true.

2019-09-09 23:54:44 UTC  

I agree there, Austrian.

2019-09-09 23:54:52 UTC  

power will always consolidate its called the iron law of oligarchy
