What if it WERE the design of capitalism? Would you cease to support capitalism?LibDave » 29 Dec 2021, 8:55 pm » wrote: ↑ We can agree there are abuses. But this isn't due to some fault with capitalism.
Allow me to give you an example of capitalism REQUIRING government sponsorship for its existence. Let us take Mother Russia, from circa 1917 to circa 1992. In all of those years, capitalism DID not, COULD not exist in the USSR.
Free enterprise did. People still traded - legally, illegally, free enterprise continued on. But CAPITALISM did not, could not exist. Because the government did not SPONSOR it. And capitalism cannot exist without government sponsorship.
Even if it has to express itself in a black market, free enterprise is impossible to extinguish. But all a government has to do to end capitalism is cease to support it.
So there is CLEARLY a difference between capitalism and free enterprise. Clearly.
I only support one of them. You BELIEVE that you support both - and I believe that you are incorrect. They are at odds. Support for one is antipathy to the other.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
