@celeryman2020 they are though lel
Thats the whole point
Yeh look at any small town even in the us
After the dark ages, people formed feudal society because militaries could be raised from a heirarchy
@PugSlugger was revolutionary catalonia a small commune tho? Tens thousands of people
The landlord summons his vassals and sends them to the count then on and on
Capitalism devolves into something damn close
Not really
Was free territory a small commune? It is as big as Norway
There are thematic similarities but its really apples and oranges
@Deleted User my dude free catalonia was anarchy and a murder pit
They tortured priests to death to prevent dissent
You could say capitalism devolves into communism
Not feudalism
How??
Would you like to know how?
Lol im glad you asked
Capitalism is from England
@PugSlugger yet anarcho-syndicalism was established and the production went up.
They could have done it without killing the clergy tbh
Western propoganda is just that communsim/socialism is bad because soviet union was the enemy
Because as businesses get big, they have more money to throw around. Everyone needs money, even politicans. As the corporations band together, they buy out the government slowly gaining more protection against capitalism from naturally eating at their superiority. Normally, when a company gets too big, they dissolve to to market changes and pressure, see the auto industry. When these large industries were failing, they use governmental power to stop their fall.
@PugSlugger also Syrian Kurdistan
Rojava
So capitalism is natural because plutocracy? Trickle down economics?
I'm not sure I'm following how this makes capitalism 1) natural or 2) a good thing
Look up free market communism
Look up worker owned companies
So if I wanted to open a business in socialism, how would that work?
You pay people what they're worth
How would I get the money to start a business?
The value they create
Grassroots funding
One of the big flaws of capitalism is that for some reason ppl think we need the gross excess of consumer products to function.
Herein lies the communism comparisons. The businesses, because of their "too big to fail" policy that they have bought through the government has become the downfall of capitalism. Now, companies like amazon, general motors, etc., are becoming state run, socialized businesses like from the ussr. We have become so worried about the defense of capitalism that we have turned it into communism.
If your idea isn't needed there's no capitalism to say it's special
That is why current american capitalism is closer to communism than feudalism
No investors to make you into a cash cow
There
Lol
