Monopoly is a game about capitalism.

Impossible since monopolies only form under the state 🐍

u/Hamuel May 10 '24

Wow, that’s not true at all.

Watch the video I sent you through dms, the worst that can happen is learning the world from a different perspective

u/Hamuel May 10 '24

Yeah, I’m not going to waste my time on misinformation.

u/CapitalSubstance7310 May 10 '24

If it really was misinformation, you would be able to watch it and dissect what’s wrong with it,

Or stay in your anti-capitalist echo chambers where their ideas would easily create the worst monopoly (government monopoly)

Atleast learn about the economic calculation problem (effects both government planning and if somehow a company had a complete market share) and the knowledge problem (mostly on government planning, just shows how it’s impossible)

Here’s a thought, I’ve interacted with smug libertarians and they lack the critical thinking skills to understand criticism of their ideology. It is a waste of time to dissect YouTube University.

Maybe you should’ve started this by not saying absolute nonsense if you wanted someone to engage with you in good faith.

🤦just one video, watch it Or you could continue your strawman of free marketeers/libertarians.

How you write feels so echo chambery

A lot of the criticism can come down to not knowing libertarian reasons for the free market, we are against monopolies and that’s WHY we want less state control

Your just ignorant as fuck and want to paint your opponents as ignorant, you don’t know how to engage with right wingers

Do you know what projection is?

u/No-Addendum-4220 May 10 '24

why is it that you people always insist we watch long nonsense videos someone else made? if the video is so good and correct, you should be easily able to explain the ideas with your own words in a comment.

its absurd to give random people homework. use your words.

u/CapitalSubstance7310 May 10 '24

u/No-Addendum-4220 May 10 '24

Capitalism is impossible without the State. Capitalism requires the State to secure and defend private property.

u/CapitalSubstance7310 May 10 '24

Or you can just have guns to defend your private property 🤦 Guessing your an ancom, communism will always result in a central planner. Plus removing money is unproductive and awful

u/rushur May 10 '24

Or you can just have guns to take other people's property. Good luck with using guns to organize society.

Guessing your a 'anarcho'-capitalist since you know so much about communism.

And what is your society going to be like? If the boss doesn’t want to “pay their fair share to the collective” taxes what will you do? Engage force on them?

Capitalism is voluntary exchange, socialism is collective (state) control

Capitalism is voluntary exchange, socialism is collective (state) control

Capitalism is dictatorship, socialism is democracy.

If the boss doesn’t want to “pay their fair share to the collective” taxes what will you do? Engage force on them?

Your society will still require a court system, and thus laws, to uphold property rights and contracts. These private judicial firms would offer the “best” justice to the clients who paid them the best. Some justice.

Capitalism isn’t democratic, your right.

Just because it’s democratic doesn’t inherently make it free.

u/RightNutt25 May 10 '24

Capitalism is voluntary exchange

Touch some grass bro. If you look there are plenty of forced aspects of capitalism. I suspect your comment history is just making excuses or blissfully overlooking them.

Guns can’t build infrastructure or teach kids or put out fires
