    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?

        I’ve said we haven’t attempted pure capitalism, I’ve never claimed that is can’t exist or we can’t attempt it.

            You compared it to an archaic system that has been tried as proof that it couldn’t be tried.

              Yes, we can’t “undevelop” Capitalism to a point of no regulation just like we can’t go back to feudalism. Modes of Production are historical stages of development alongside the progression of technology, they aren’t “ideas” people adopt because they sound nice.

                That’s just a thinly veiled use of the Wookie defence in trying to explain your position.

                  If you’re confused by something, you can feel free to ask for further elaboration, though I can’t just recite Capital in Lemmy comments.

                    He published that between 1867 and 1894 yet despite trying all the ideas in all the different permutations no one has been successful yet, over a hundred and thirty years later.

                    Maybe it’s time it admit it’s a flawed experiment and try something different?
