It’s amazing how behind we are in the conversation conversation of system level thought. You can’t even have a conversation with anyone about markets without them just accusing you of being a dirty socialist. Crazy shit.

True, it is a sad state of affairs but just means we still need to work on organizing, educating and system change activism. We can hit a breaking point. Don’t know when or how, but it can happen if we are building the true alternative network to capitalism.

Thank you

When what you're talking about is so novel you have to make up new phrases 💪

Question please; If monopolies depend upon collaboration between “competitors” to jack up profits, why don’t “We The People” have our own monopoly to jack up standards of living for all people? Is the answer so simple to say: Because half the population thinks the public good through democratic socialism is somehow a bad thing?

We don't own the means of production

[@wyverstone7657]

@ Indeed. Perhaps then we should.

Frankly, I still don´t understand your argument. Your premise seems to be that competition is somehow intrinsically opposed to freedom. But that is just a claim, not an argument.

[@davidmireles9774]

I think you’re saying Peter’s argument here assumes competition is intrinsically opposed to freedom. In other words, this is a claim, not a demonstrated argument. I understood him to be saying that any system that incentivizes exploitation, abuse, and power hierarchies undermines freedom and equality. And then he’s saying that competition inherently incentivizes exploitation, abuse, and power hierarchies. And so the main point is that competition undermines freedom and equality. This is not merely a claim but a logical argument based on historical examples (e.g., Hayek’s support of Pinochet) and philosophical critique (e.g., the “means contradicting the ends” fallacy).

Peter your top comment is a bot with like 20 other bots responding to it, can you delete that shit?
