    Theory capitalism is trash. Its company towns and pinkertons.

    The best part of capitalist systems like America is unintended. People rise up, feelings go above personal profit, they form unions, they protest, they do so many thing. If capitalism worked as theory, unions wouldnt form because scabs and union busters.

    Thats the unintentional brilliance, people are allowed to do as they will, and people arent stupid. Individuals can be, but the entire population isnt.

      I’m not here to evaluate the value of it, I’m here to say that there’s a difference between theory and practice and when talking about “real X” what we’re talking about is theoric.

      If I said “Under capitalism monopolies get broken by the government” you would tell me “No, under capitalism monopolies are the end result and what we’ve got now isn’t true capitalism”, just like I did when correcting you.
