You cannot survive abolition of markets.

2019-09-24 12:33:43 UTC  

They merely regulate out the market processes in such a way as to give them the ability to centrally plan, while leaving the appearance of market freedom.

2019-09-24 12:34:08 UTC  

That is why fascism is always socialism with the capitalist veneer.

2019-09-24 12:34:12 UTC  

Fascism is pretty much the definition of a truly mixed economy with heavy government oversight

2019-09-24 12:34:24 UTC  

Along with state cartels.

2019-09-24 12:34:27 UTC  

They don’t abolish the free market

2019-09-24 12:34:34 UTC  

Ministries of industry setting quotas.

2019-09-24 12:34:39 UTC  

It's wholly inefficient.

2019-09-24 12:34:42 UTC  

But they definitely over see it and regulate it to hell

2019-09-24 12:34:54 UTC  

I actually would disagree on fascism.

It also requires protectionism, which then leaves the only avenue for material wealth through conquest.

2019-09-24 12:35:10 UTC  

I think fascism just lacks innovation

2019-09-24 12:35:24 UTC  

Is mostly the problem there as far as economics

2019-09-24 12:35:41 UTC  

There's nothing to innovate upon.

2019-09-24 12:36:03 UTC  

But I actually really believe societies that don't innovate are more stable than ones that do.

2019-09-24 12:36:06 UTC  

This is the best definition you'll get: https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html

2019-09-24 12:36:18 UTC  

China is more fascist in economics than communist tbh

2019-09-24 12:36:24 UTC  

Oh, yes.

2019-09-24 12:36:26 UTC  

Certainly.

2019-09-24 12:36:35 UTC  

As I said, all Communist regimes must devolve into fascism to survive.

2019-09-24 12:36:36 UTC  

This is why there is a stagnation there now.

2019-09-24 12:36:37 UTC  

Anyway I gtg

2019-09-24 12:37:02 UTC  

I say-give it 20 or 30 years and you would see them degrade back to feudalism.

2019-09-24 12:37:13 UTC  

Alright, take it easy, Py.

2019-09-24 12:37:13 UTC  

Problem is feudalism is stable as hell,

2019-09-24 12:37:35 UTC  

precisely because it kills innovation, and therefore the opposition to it.

2019-09-24 12:37:35 UTC  

Good luck selling that to the world. <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-09-24 12:37:57 UTC  

Indeed, Yord.

2019-09-24 12:38:13 UTC  

And may be eventually all fascism would devolve to some form of feudalism.

2019-09-24 12:38:55 UTC  

Rate of innovation is also aligned with a scale of economic freedom, which positively correlates with the amount of freedom within a particular market.

2019-09-24 12:39:01 UTC  

And here is where it gets really creepy because without an external force to actually threaten the status quo such a form of fascism can sustain itself virtually indefinitely.

2019-09-24 12:39:05 UTC  

So, different economic systems have varying rates of innovation, with the greatest freedom having the highest rate.

2019-09-24 12:39:22 UTC  

I go further than that @Jeremy

2019-09-24 12:39:57 UTC  

It wouldn't because fascism is very centralistic

2019-09-24 12:39:57 UTC  

It is my most controversial statement but I go by it-stable societies KILL innovations.

2019-09-24 12:40:15 UTC  

It just gets in the way for their stability to properly function.

2019-09-24 12:40:29 UTC  

Correct, Yord.

2019-09-24 12:40:34 UTC  

You require creative destruction.

2019-09-24 12:40:49 UTC  

Stable societies LOVE conservatism, but in the worse sense.

2019-09-24 12:41:03 UTC  

It is that pursuit of an absolute stability which consumes the chaos that should be wielded in balance, neither to consume the other.
