Capitalism 2.0

It called politics son.

I dont think anything will work as long as human nature is the way it is . I would settle for a farming based villiage life over money if it meant less violence hatred and competition. Peace be with you all !

To those stranded on a desert island, capitalism is overrated.

i consume therefore i am

or something like that

If you took the bad things out of politics? Okay, that's a good idea.

Most political systems exist and expand thru their coercive monopolies, the same way crony capitalism exists or facism or socialism or any of the other isms.

Coercive monopolies are an extension of government, not a product of the free market. Without governmental grants of special privilege to the "capitalists", there could be no coercive monopolies.

We don't have a free market now. Honest markets involve a willing buyer and a willing seller in an environment free from external influences. Unwanted third parties that leech off those transactions prevent any kind of free market from existing. If you want freedom from "evil capitalists" the last place to look for help is government. Use the black market or create your own free market thru peaceful consensual interactions.

In order to effect a redo that has any meaning....the coercion and force must be taken out or nothing has really changed.
There are no "good" political or economic systems that rely on the use of force...none. Remixing the same ingredients and not removing the poison of the coercion will change nothing but the prefix attached to some kind of ism or another. Arguing over which "ism" is the best or the worst usually fails to go anywhere, since most people are blind to the fact that ALL of them use the same tactics and are essentially forms of monopoly held in place by the threat of force. In summary, there are NO good coercive governments and there are no "necessary evils" that we should have to tolerate.

You should consider reading THE MARKET FOR LIBERTY by Linda and Morris Tannehill.

How would you take the good things from all the different political philosophies throughout history, leave out the bad things, and make no contradictions in between to come up with an ultimate political philosophy that would be successful in todays world?

Nice quad post

As for capitalism, there is nothing more aggressive than private hereditary ownership of natural resources used for profit. It turns necessities into commodities and people into workers.

Few here seem to get your point. Neither will they understand this

Capitolism is not the problem as much as the banksters who are steering it.

Life was pretty sweet until they killed JFK, not that they weren't already slithering their way toward total control, but he wanted to replace the fed funny money with real money. The fed, which is privately owned, was started in 1913, but again, the insidiousness goes back to our so-called declaration of independence from england

Look up BRICS nations who are now competing with the dollar and will soon overthrow it. Saddam was an early proponent and had to be taken out, as was Kadaffi

The game is much bigger than he average person can wrap their minds around
