SatansMaggotyCumFart @lemmy.world I think we're both saying the same thing.

Maybe, but you phrase it like we can have unregulated Capitalism for any period longer than an afternoon, and I'm explaining why we can't.

We can't try unregulated Capitalism either way, that's like suggesting we try feudalism. We can't go back and keep the technological progress we have.

In Scotland is was only abolished in 2004.

I'm saying trying to turn the clock backwards is futile, Capitalism has already reached the dying stages of its development. There's no way to stsrt fresh.
8 0 ReplySatansMaggotyCumFart @lemmy.world That just nicely brings this conversation back to my point that pure capitalism has never been attempted.

Then what's your point? If we can't attempt it and it can't exist to begin with, what's your point?
9 0 ReplySatansMaggotyCumFart @lemmy.world I've said we haven't attempted pure capitalism, I've never claimed that is can't exist or we can't attempt it.

I have claimed that, and explained why. You never pushed back on that.
9 0 ReplySatansMaggotyCumFart @lemmy.world You compared it to an archaic system that has been tried as proof that it couldn't be tried.
