They do

2019-01-31 17:56:45 UTC  

Wrong

2019-01-31 17:56:54 UTC  

Somewhat correct, but let me fix it

2019-01-31 17:56:57 UTC  

The state doesnt control the econony

2019-01-31 17:57:02 UTC  

Yes it does in a socialist economy

2019-01-31 17:57:03 UTC  

In todays world

2019-01-31 17:57:14 UTC  

Capitalism has existed

2019-01-31 17:57:16 UTC  

well thats debatable, but we'll save that for after

2019-01-31 17:57:17 UTC  

It does exist

2019-01-31 17:57:19 UTC  

When?

2019-01-31 17:57:22 UTC  

I don't see a free market

2019-01-31 17:57:29 UTC  

feel free to point one out tho

2019-01-31 17:57:32 UTC  

There are markets

2019-01-31 17:57:37 UTC  

But those are not capitalist

2019-01-31 17:57:41 UTC  

a market economy is not a capitalist economy

2019-01-31 17:57:44 UTC  

Capitalism has been tried and failed.

2019-01-31 17:57:45 UTC  

Socialism is an economic model where the workers have control over the means of production. This can be achieved through any means, but it is not achieved through the state ACTING ON BEHALF of the worker. In order for state socialism to be socialism, the worker must have control of the state

2019-01-31 17:57:49 UTC  

This is socialism

2019-01-31 17:57:50 UTC  

Usa, hong kong, france, germany, etc

2019-01-31 17:57:51 UTC  

Not real capitalism.

2019-01-31 17:57:52 UTC  

Not what you just said

2019-01-31 17:57:52 UTC  

I haven't seen it been tried

2019-01-31 17:57:58 UTC  

USA hong kong etc aren't capitalist

2019-01-31 17:58:01 UTC  

all have state intervention

2019-01-31 17:58:02 UTC  

Muh but that isnt REEEL capitalism

2019-01-31 17:58:13 UTC  

I haven't seen socialism been tried either.

2019-01-31 17:58:14 UTC  

Let's grab a wide range of definitions

wikiepedia

2019-01-31 17:58:17 UTC  

@The Big Oof It's actually workers or state ownership

2019-01-31 17:58:19 UTC  
2019-01-31 17:58:23 UTC  

No, you are WRONG

2019-01-31 17:58:28 UTC  

we've seen the State own the mop

2019-01-31 17:58:31 UTC  

and the workers in some cases

2019-01-31 17:58:33 UTC  

"communes"

2019-01-31 17:58:35 UTC  

state ownership is ONLY socialism when it's the workers who run the state

2019-01-31 17:58:36 UTC  

all have failed

2019-01-31 17:58:42 UTC  

But workers run the state

2019-01-31 17:58:54 UTC  

Capitalism, from the very beginning, has allowed state intervention

2019-01-31 17:59:02 UTC  

I think mises even said this

2019-01-31 17:59:02 UTC  

Nope
