in some ways, everything he's said is a matter of opinion

If there's any way to make socialism work its to restrain it. Same with capitalism

So an opinion can't be wrong?

That makes the system based on a contradiction

If you look at what happened in Canada following the same period of time, it could be argued that public outcry at some market outcomes is a major part of what made Canada the cuck progressive garbage heap it is today

What makes it a contradiction? That it isn't something it is, as it was once defined by someone who didn't make it up?

that is

Canada's capitalism suffered because it was not being protected by realpolitik

If the system doesnt live up to its logical extreme philosophical implications it is a contradiction of those implications

Tucker is not saying something contradictiory

he's saying something nuanced

If a system excedes a logical extreme it no longer stays itself.

that the system retained more of the benefits of capitalism by appearing to rein it in, than it would if it had been left to its own devices in a public way.

How do you get capitalism by holding back capitalism?

It becomes something else.

that the realpolitik had the effect of a more capitalist system ten or twenty years after the fact

because the alternative was not _never restricting the market_, it was _waiting for the next politician, who would restrict the market even more severely_

@zero_consequences Not my point

My point was if the system is not its logical extreme its a contradiction

the real political choice was not between restricting or not restricting capitalism

so there is no contradiction

Case in point, if a competative capitalist market thrives until one unit supercedes all other competition and becomes a monopoly, and drives all competition out it is no longer capitalism.

So where's this fucking logical extreme bullshit coming from

in order to produce the more capitalist outcome, a non-capitalist political policy was necessary

Lol

because, in lieu of that policy, an ever more strident anti-capitalist policy would take its place.

A free market means free from force

well, a freer market is freer of force

Exactly

you didn't have that choice

Forced to use a certain area of the market because all competition has been wiped out, is not a free market.

Mind blown?

Lol

well, nobody is forced to engage in commerce

wal mart circa 2000

(except when they are, but that's not so much what you mean)

The market assigns a value to companies

Man must produce to earn wealth and trade

anyway

this is all stupid

yeah
