Why is Capitalism (free exchange of goods and labor) not persistent and why is Socialism/Communism (collective redistribution) reoccurring again and again?
Because we have not learned our lesson, yet.

@business It was all fine whilst the peasants lost their jobs to China. Now that China supplies those peasants with affordable products, Mr. Blackrock calls for regulations. The irony of Neo-Feudalism is hard to bear.
@USATODAY The US should send all their liberal professors there. Not only could they educate Cubans about the superiority of socialism, they'd also enlighten them about all the new genders they found along the way.
@MyOwnerBites@zerohedge I'd do it without storage. Just pay "old" power plants to also install solar/wind, up to their classic capacity. They could then distribute their cost much better and competition could drive down prices without skewing the market.
@benz_2026 We could argue forever with no point to it. My argument is that instead of a strong government, it would be better to have stocks shared with the population. You seem to want a top-down economy, which I will never agree to at any point.

@benz_2026@grok how many African countries are in the worlds top 25 in terms of economic freedom and how did the freest ones do compared to the other african nations?
@benz_2026 What security and right are you talking about? The freedom not to be harmed or the right to work the job that suits you best? Taking someone's prperty isn't freedom, its robbery. Having the "right" to someone else's labour is the definition of slavery.
@benz_2026 Sure you can replace positive feedback loops (free market) with government intervention (New deal and rearmament) but those have longer term effects. Free market is volatile (depression). Intervention is stable but can never be stopped. That's what we live through currently.
@benz_2026 So the worst example you can give for an abusive power hungry capitalist is the literal starting point for all other systems that have existed and are being thought of currently?
@benz_2026 Someone developed and maintained that land, it'd be wilderness otherwise. We respect the property because it ends in mayhem, poverty and starvation if we don't.
It doesn't matter what one capitalist thinks as long as the system makes building competition as easy as possible.
@benz_2026 You have a completely twisted view on the free market. Someone bought, developed, maintained the land, someone built the houses, everything. You don't have a claim to that just for existing. You need to either build something, make something or help others to do that.
@benz_2026 So your solution is to give the people making that very law more power? Why are you dying from hunger, can't you grow crops? Don't blame others for inequallity if they're feeding you. They may stop.
@benz_2026 You have to compare capitalism to real alternatives, not to some utopia that lives in your head. It's also not stealing if you voluntarily decide to buy something instead of making it yourself.
