I understand what you don't; that without the power of government Capitalism is voluntary, and that the definition of Capitalism is Free Market Capitalism.greatnpowerfuloz » 09 Nov 2014 7:45 pm » wrote: Obviously you don't if you stand by the idea that capitalism can be corrupted by something outside of itself. An impossible scenario when capitalism is, by its very nature, the corrupting influence.
Unless you believe that somehow you can separate the ideal of capitalism from its human operators. If so, your belief lingers in the realm of some theoretical mind game you play with yourself. Nothing, not democracy, not socialism, not communism, not anarchy, is worthy of theoretical discussion alone. If you want to play that game, it's a masturbatory one that is best played alone.
But, if you truly understand. If you've changed your mind and have seen the light, we can expect you to stop playing the role of capitalist champion, eh?
Combine the power of business and government, and you end up with a form of Fascism.
That's exactly why Socialism fails.
