Fascist corporatism hasn't been used in the last 50 or so years.

2019-01-31 20:36:39 UTC  

The closest we have gotten since then is social democracy

2019-01-31 20:37:18 UTC  

Was it perfect? No of course not, but it was arguably better than capitalism.

2019-01-31 20:38:30 UTC  

Arguably so

2019-01-31 20:40:28 UTC  

I mean, I'm no economist, but people seemed happier before capitalism. Back then, people had private property, but it wasn't a cashgrab free for all. Standards for trade were a given, and you had guilds to moderate the skilled tradesmen. It was also less centralized, everthing was. You didn't have to worry about multi-national coporations controlling everything.

2019-01-31 20:41:30 UTC  

What seems like a good option to me is the decentralization of distributism. We don't go for any kind of socialism, but we decentralize as much as we can. More local businesses, more co-ops, and more family owned small businesses.

2019-01-31 20:41:45 UTC  

And when you need factories, they ought to be locally owned and controlled.

2019-01-31 20:41:48 UTC  

Capitalism has never really been started, it was just labeled as such in the industrial period

2019-01-31 20:42:31 UTC  

I think that's as silly as saying "Communism has never been tried." We know it hasn't been achieved, but it sure as Hell as been tried.

2019-01-31 20:43:00 UTC  

Well then you didn't get what I said

2019-01-31 20:44:43 UTC  

Well it seems like you're claiming we never had capitalism.

2019-01-31 20:44:49 UTC  

Nope

2019-01-31 20:45:59 UTC  

I'm saying it had no fixed start, you said people seemed happier before capitalism but when was that?

2019-01-31 20:46:48 UTC  

What marks, to you, the start of capitalism?

2019-01-31 20:48:22 UTC  

The Industrial revolution seems to be a vague start, but it's like the Renaissance, there's no hard start.

2019-01-31 20:49:39 UTC  

I'd argue it started much earlier, around the 16th to 17th century, and banking clans can be traced back all the way to the 14th century

2019-01-31 20:49:58 UTC  

But the industrial revolution was the beginning of the capitalism we know today

2019-01-31 20:50:32 UTC  

Banks gay lol

2019-01-31 20:50:41 UTC  

Seems plausible, although the banking isn't all of capitalism.

2019-01-31 20:51:24 UTC  

Point is, it has played a part in destroying traditional society.

2019-01-31 20:51:31 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-31 21:09:16 UTC  

Anyways, when i get off from work i will continue this. State socialism can be socialism, but state ownership of property in and of itself is not, an assumption that this arguments rests upon

2019-01-31 21:16:43 UTC  

>state socialism
