I know what the free market is, but I don't believe in this pseudo-free market we live in. A true free market capitalist society is one where the state and corporation do not exist, nor nations. What we have now is state-capitalism, fascism, or corporatism.Endoscopy » 03 May 2014 10:49 pm » wrote:
You blame capitalism for this instead of corruption. The judge should have given her a chance to pay for it.
But you do not want to look at reality of what capitalism really is. You just want to look at things like this and blame what is blameless.
Real capitalism is businesses competing with each other on a level playing field that government is supposed to produce. The problem is that nothing is leveled by the Democrats. Businesses are leaving to go to where they get a more level playing field. Keep in mind that a judge is not a business. Therefore that reprehensibly act has nothing to do with Capitalism.
WHY ARE LIBERALS SO
IGNORANT ABOUT CAPITALISM
The political system is a construct of the economic system, as much as it is the ideological beliefs of a nation's members i.e. a judge is employed by the government, not a private company - though the government in turn is influenced heavily by economic or corporate interests. Though communists make no distinction between the state and corporation, arguing both are products or creations of capitalism.
It is curious you think that the state and corporation, can exist in a real free market economy, when state and corporate monopolies are the anti-thesis of a free market system i.e. a free market economy must exist in form of private contracts and small and medium size business to be a real free market.
It is ignorant to defend 'capitalism', when the 'free market capitalism' you are defending is a sham, as it is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Better to be a democratic-socialist or a 'liberal' as you term it, if it means not drinking the kool-aid that is neo-liberalism and the false free market.
