Prove me wrong
None of them can give me a straight answer
It's a third position
It rejects both communism and capitalism
It is socialist in that there are many programs to benefit the common people, protect the workers, etc
But at the same time it supports free Enterprise
Because it is understood that free people do not work without incentive
Such as the nationalization of certain industries critical to the nation of people?
I hope that's a good enough answer
Or
Yeah kinda
Personally I like the idea of industries which are nationalized with free market alternatives
I think the postal service in the US is a good example
Or the water systems
Exactly
Ahh ok
I think any essential service should have free market alternatives personally
Free Enterprise and Capitalism are not synonyms
What's the difference?
Free enterprise is kinda the natural mode of operation for people
How so?
It's based on incentive.
People want to eat. People want homes
People acquire resources to meet these needs
And they do so of their own accord. That's free enterprise to my understanding
So is there any possibility for free enterprise and the National good to come into conflict?
Capitalism takes it up a few extra levels. It allows for a lot more exploitation
Does anyone else care to jump in? I'm not the best at economics
I slept through my high school econ class
I vaguely remember something about guns and butter
Ideally (and I know a lot of libertarians unironically believe this) the system that is best is when everyone is allowed to freely do what they want, and the market regulates itself and there is no conflict with nation interest
This, of course, is fucking retarded
Right it puts profit over people
And when you put profit over people, the end result is inevitably entire factories geared towards making dildos
The Bad Dragon Jew strikes again
Another major fault in totally free capitalism is that monopolies will inevitably form
Insider trading
Right. Personally I lean more libertarian
Importation at the expense of the nation
But I realize that people can't be trusted to do everything right
