@admitsWrongIfProven Nope, and once it is is the day capitalism would be flawless And there would no longer be a need for social programs.

@freemo I see. Your dream of monopoly control you were silent about for a time. Maybe, some time in the future. Maybe, same chances, some time separate from us. That would be nice.

@admitsWrongIfProven Monopoly? Are you saying monopolies are an indication of caring for one another? Not sure why your bringing up monopoloies out of nowhere

@admitsWrongIfProven Yea but in a world where everyone cares about eachother, which is the axiom, how would you have a BOFH, that would be a person who doesnt have compassion no?

@freemo The BOFH is a caricature of what happens already. And our petty squabbles are naught compared to what could be.

@admitsWrongIfProven

Yea well we dont live in a world where people care about each other. So what happens "already" has no relevance to this hypothetical world where people do care about each other. In such a world, as I said, capitalism in its pure form would be ideal. You cant have the BOFH argument in such a world.

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven i heard one dude say that capitalism, just like socialism, if left alone becomes a runaway process that ends up in a bad extreme. He claimed both should balance each other out. 🤓

@cobratbq

That was me.. ive said that many times (though maybe you mean someone else). Pure ideologies never work, it isnt about runaway, they are failures the moment they exist, they just generally rarely exist. Most things dont start out pure and only fail once they get pure or approach it.

For example there is no completely pure capitalism or communism or socialism in existence today. In fact, aside from a few countries almost every country today is primarily capitalist with some socialism elements.

Sorry you meant Corporatocracy not corpratism. I mixed them up in my head accidentally.
