free market fuck yeah right?

That'd be you acting like a government.

how

By intervening in the free market.

if i have the resource the means and the will i can do so

how so

Because the only way to intervene in the free market outside of using negotiation is force.

so now anyone taking advantage of your dumb premise is now the government?

If you use force, you end freedom. Thus becoming the de facto governmental body.

okay how about this, my company competes directly with you and makes products services cheaper than what you can afford.

is that force?

or is that the principle of the free markets

Did the company use violent means, or threats, or anything like that?

nope just made my products cheaper which say you can't do so

Then there's no use of force

cool so i have now wiped you out of competition and taken over your share

thats completely fine right

and by that i mean your market share

your customers come to me cos its cheaper

I didn't say anything about morals, I'm talking about the mechanics. It is capitalism if it's done that way.

im talking about the free market principles here

theres no state intervention

it's just the markets working with me to overthrow you

they shall

NOT BE INFRINGED

🟨

The result of another company going out of business if my own company succeeds is only a consequence, it's not a cause-and-effect chain. I do not make other companies go out of business by being successful myself.

also nah I'm not that libertarian laissez-faire really

just thought saying that would be funny

Operating in the free market contains competition, there's always competition. So of course people go out of business all the time.

cool so if i keep becoming larger and larger it should be fine

as long as i don't use force

to thwart my competition

As long as you don't use any sort of force or threat thereof.

and become a monopoly

its still fine

as long as i dont use force

You keep saying "it's fine". But that's not my argument. My argument is that that's how capitalism works.

I'm only saying how it works, not whether it's all good and fine.

cool

if theres no regulation and no force, monopolies can exist and it'd be fine
