agreed
SAIKAT CHAMRABARTI IS GONE
though i do think the government should privatize the building of the wall and other border security elements
What do you think will happen when the owner of that part of the private wall decides to let Mexicans in on his whim
not a private wall land
With the govt. wall, the govt. is accountable to the people
Private corporations are not
i mean like the government contracts someone to build the wall for them
they own the land and what not
In that case, it can be feasible
i think a lot of thing can be done well with that approach
This is why State Capitalism > Minarchy
i'm not a fan of state owned business tho
ie state monopolies
though i can agree that there needs to be more than just the military, police and courts
how about
Megarchy
dab
I meant the role of State can be used for breaking monopolies and allowing proper competition
oh i 100% agree with that
i hate monopiles and the lack of competition
DEF: State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes commercial economic activity and where the means of production are organized and managed as state-owned business enterprises
This is why you cannot have reasonable competition in the tech industry and simultaneously have IP laws
Either abolish IP laws, or have some provisions by which states can break such monopolies
Yeah, I was using State Capitalism in a loose way
well i think IP are fine but i don't think they should last so long
if Ip laws didn't exist the would be massive problems
Yeah, I agree that IP laws are necessary
drugs for a example cost billions to create
if ip laws weren't there people could just steal them
But it also hinders the ability of another Google or FB to pop up
In a reasonable time
And hence creates dis balance when they attain monopoly
Such as what we are seeing currently with the mass censorship
didn't the us government force a tech company to sell their tech to other companies
And resultant effects on elections which it will have
>didn't the us government force a tech company to sell the tech to other companies
Idk about that
i think there was a case with comcast or something
maybe not comcast i don't remember the name i heard it somewhere
