I think pre-capitalist economies are worth looking at
I mean if you want to call me a capitalist because I'm not a natsoc, or a socialist, or a marxist, go ahead. But I think there's a fundamental problem with defining capitalism so loosely
I went from libertarian to alt right reactionary to realizing that a lot of the ideas I was toying with were genuinely dumb and I needed to ground myself in reality. Socialism is pretty shitty
People in these circles just throw around the term capitalism as this bogeyman that has no clear definition.
I'm not a socialist
There's not just socialism and capitalism
I am aware.
If you want to call me a capitalist in favor of heavy regulation go ahead, but "Capitalism" implies a lot of things I'm not
I'm more of a distributist
I favor guilds over complete free trade. I favor decentralization of the economy by the state. But I still believe in private property
How does capitalism imply a lot of things you're not?
"I favor guilds over complete free trade" capitalism is not "complete" free trade
The way I see it you belong to a big tent of capitalism but you're a special kind of capitalist who has a specific vision in mind
as am I
I suppose if that's how you want to define capitalism. But at that point it pretty much includes every society with private property
I'm not defining it my way. I just defer to the definition people accept:
Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.
Yeah at that point fascist corporatism would be considered capitalism due to the existence of private Enterprise
If people want to counter signal an caps be my guest
Why are you Left and Right?
Spookaswa lol
what sort of rw social views do you hold (to change the topic)
im peeved that there's a cultural nat role but no white or ethno roles
Generally speaking, my social views are pretty in line with the social views of right-wing populists and identitarians
Well how do you feel about female suffrage, women in the military, women in the workplace, divorce, alimony, and child support
There's more variety among rw populists on the big issues than you'd expect
Voting is useless and/or unnecessary in most cases, no matter what sex or ethnicity you are.
The female body I'd argue isn't designed for tasks such as military combat.
Women can enter the workplace, but I think that their first priority is to start a family (men too), and to take care of said family and whatever household they happen to be in while the father works.
I am against alimony, it can easily be abused and used as a cheap way to make a lot of money.
Child support is fine, even if you get a divorce, your children are still your responsibility until they reach adulthood.
You see I find it humorous that you essentially are a feminist (2nd wave) but you describe yourself as rw on social issues
Also, if a woman gets knocked up outside of marriage what right does she have to the man's wallet?
True
To throw in my two cents, women should be societally encouraged to start families primarily, and possibly work in family businesses.
They should not be allowed in the military, and the state should not do anything to secure any sense of equality in the workplace
If they want to work, they can
Maybe if the state forced the couple to marry it would be less absurd, at least that way she'd get access to his wallet in exchange for being a wife. Child support is just robbery
but nobody should assist them
so far you've only asked me questions regarding family and women
Well I am full trad. End female suffrage, no more women in the military, no more women in the workplace, the only grounds for divorce are adultery-no more "no fault" divorce, failing that no more alimony, and no more child support.
How about abortion?
Pro-Life except in the case of rape or the life of the mother is in significant danger.
Yes I guess you are more socially right wing that I am, but I still consider myself socially right wing by modern standards
Well this is the trouble with terms like capitalism, feminism, rightism...everything's hella vauge
