lets be real a lot of socialists use that argument too

i believe true capitalism has been tried

Of course

There was an entire era of it

and it was genuinely shitty for everyone who wasnt wealthy or atleast middle class

Not to mention Austrians can't differentiate between a type of market system and a mode of production

well what we have now is arguibly more capitalist than a few decades ago

due to the 1980s and neoliberalism

>neoliberalism

Keynesian economics too

i dont necessarily support neoliberalism anyway

All neolibs are scum, gonna say that now.

Literally capitalism with the government helping out

^

What exactly is a neoliberal

the thing with neoliberalism is that they take it too far

I always here it mentioned

i believe we can have capitalism but we dont need to ignore anything and everything a government can do to help

but I've never really seen a proper definition

government can actually help capitalism

This video goes into neoliberalism

Just classic liberalism?

in a free market there are distortions that need to be addressed, and they are distortions of perfect competition so technically its not a good representation of the free market and has to be fixed

Basically it's the state suppressing the market to protect profits.

and wasnt Reagan a neoconservative

Both are 2 sides of the same coin anyway.

or Paleo conservative

one thing with capitalism is lobbying, we need to keep money out of politics

otherwise we end up with prison-industrial and military-industrial complex

already there are large corporations receiving subsidies and effective corporate welfare from the government

for the same reason i oppose most forms of welfare i oppose corporate welfare too

The prison industrial complex is so shameful and inhuman...

its a waste of human potential

It's basically slave labour

It's literally slave labour

they shouldn't imprison people for minor drug charges,

Strasser had a solution to this

if they legalised drugs there would be less reason for gangs etc

i actually condemn drugs, in the same way i condemn cigarettes but banning it isnt a good solution

You need to fix the socio economic issues in inner cities to remove gangs
