Unfettered Capitalism

[kaz]

Liberals love this phrase. Maybe I have a limited vocabulary, but I wasn't really sure what "fettered" meant. So I looked it up:

Any questions?

Yeah. Why do you think the super rich ought to have total unaccountable power over your life?

This is how stupid Democrats are.

You don't want businesses to have to compete for your business. Too risky, they would take advantage of you.

So you want government to eliminate competition and force us all to have the same thing.

Talk about "unaccountable."

The funny part being you proved the point that people use terms they don't understand.

Occupied: I want ONE choice, I don't want some unaccountable choice ...

Quit confusing free enterprise with capitalism. They are not the same thing.

They're the same as far as I'm concerned. But maybe you're using different definitions. How do they differ in your view?

Capitalism as it is practiced in America is a thing of vast fortunes buying and selling political power to protect monopoly.

Ahh... ok. Well, my definition of capitalism precludes collusion with government - so we are using different definitions. We should definitely reject that.

Modern capitalism cannot operate without owning the government, writing their own regulations and "managing" democracy. The ultimate goal of capitalism is not wealth but the power that it buys. If you cannot afford to hire a lobbying firm you cannot afford to practice modern capitalism.

Just more of your stupid Marxist rhetoric.

Again, government making your decisions for you is SOCIALISM. Capitalism is the opposite, you make your own decisions. Companies owning government is not capitalism

Unfettered Capitalism only exists in right wing fantasy.

Correct. All they (think they) know is 100 % free market capitalism OR 100% miserable communism. That's it. Two choices. That's all.

This is what confining a person to comically limited and carefully controlled "facts" and "information" and "opinion" does to people over time.

A true, modern-day, cautionary tale. Don't let this happen to you.

You're jumping the shark, Mac!

How?

The stereotyping, the black and white moralizing. "They...."

Well, that's my problem with our current binary political environment.

A vast majority of Trumpsters (a relatively easy populace to identify) are terribly mal-informed about the workings and implications of the economy and the stock market. Stuck in a terribly binary thinking pattern about most things.

That's my perception, and that's how I proceed. And I said "a vast majority" - there are exceptions to every rule.

I hear ya. I actually deleted my post - because it was mostly wrong.

Mac, you're not making a good case for NOT being a closet commie. I know you're not, but you appear to either be sympathetic to it or naive as fuck. You come off pinko, just saying.

Only to willfully ignorant Talk Radio Trumpsters.

I'm a far better capitalist than they'll ever be.

No you aren't. You are a fucking commie.

Ironically, the real socialists very much appreciate people like you.

I realize that someone like you will have no idea what that means.

I know better than anyone on this board what it means.

You aren't fooling anyone with your bluster and bullshit.

Your perception is nothing but bias. Every Trump supporter is better informed about the workings and implications of the economy than Biden himself. Yet, morons like you will vote for him.

Any questions?

Predatory capitalism or parasitic capitalism, either would better describe the United States' form capitalism than unfettered.

The government is always in cahoots with the big corporations, so I don't know why you trust the former.

Because the latter doesn't exist without the former.
Our current problems stem mainly from too much corporate control of government.

Wrong, as always. Our current problem stems from too much government control of private companies.

You have that exactly backwards and it reveals a lack of understanding.

We have too much control of government by big corporations and wealthy individuals.

Wake the fuck up! This isn’t 1980.

That's commie propaganda. A commie will always blame private owners before he blames government.

Yeah we know, everything you silly cons disagree with is commie propaganda. Again, it’s not 1980. The Cold War is over. The USSR is gone. So, find a new bs argument.

It’s amazing the stupid shit they believe. They are exactly like the Obamabots in the idiotic shit they believe. No wonder we’re so divided and our government is nothing but a bunch of crooks.

"They believe" is the problem. They really believe it.

Sorry, met too many Trump supporters to buy that. Most of them don't know free markets from tariffs.

I believe Congress would do better by asking Academia to provide Pareto optimal solutions than pandering to the Richest.

What you and other TDS morons believe is the problem. Do you believe the protests in Seattle and Portland are "mostly peaceful?" Do you believe Trump is responsible for COVID? Do you believe we had a good economy under Obama?

You have me confused with someone who accepts testimonial evidence.
