The same principles that free market supporters use to argue for a free market make a free market impossible.

In a free market it is advantageous to organize a government that benefits you, so by rational choice theory a government benefiting the wealthy will always arise from a free market system.


Its advantageous to organize a government that benefits you at someone elses expense under virtually any system.

Strictly limiting the government's role and powers to not be able to hugely benefit special interests does not make it self defeating. Its quite the opposite.

economic prosperity and flourishing are wildly correlated with economic freedom. If you understood basic economics you would understand the causation too.

But what if the government doesn't have that power?

still waiting proofs it's not end up in a monopolistic mess, creating itself a fake governements to rule it even harder.

then a revolution occurs... Oh lmk maybe free market existed 10.000 years ago ?


fascist-capitalism isnt really an utopia on my eyes :o


Conclusion:
Imo it's more about a bunch of baddies trying to not pay taxes while still doing profits on the STRUCTURE made by the state.

You dont even know what is means, let alone if its bad or not.
Throwing out "fascist" and pretending thats free market is just demonstrating you have no idea what you are talking about but want to bash it anyways.
