A mythology. Capitalism relies on the state to protect itself.


'read a book'

declaring dumb things doesnt make it true

Give an example of capitalism working without a state to protect it.

The uncountable instances of voluntary private commerce and coexistence in the absence of a state throughout history.

1000 years of Celtic Ireland
The 'wild' west
International trade during medieval times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_mercatoria

black and gray markets were persistent and life saving even during the reign of many murderous lefty tyrants who openly tried to ban capitalism.
A state does not magically make private ownership and trade possible, nor is it the only mechanism to protect markets and property.

You conservatives should really give up the "if walls don't work then...." nonsense

Every comparison I've ever seen just makes you guys look even more foolish

Go ahead and explain how contained small by comparison areas full of armed guards that very often get away with various forms of mistreatment and abuse as punishment as well as extended sentences compares to the border situation

Its an example of walls working and having obvious merit.
There is no requirement for every detail to be the same for it to be accurate or funny.
'mistreatment and abuse' and extended sentences aren't why the walls work. they work against people with life sentences too. They are physical barriers that restrict and impede movement and dissuade many attempts to get by them.
Armed guards are another aspect of border security and general security, not something that makes the comparative observation/joke invalid.

If you want to oppose the wall, go for it. Come up with a real argument.
Democrats pretending walls dont work, or calling accurate and amusing jokes 'nonsense' and foolish or 'dumb'(pf) doesn't cut it.

It's easy to oppose a wall that is being pushed by a guy that ran on the great wall of trump that would be paid for by Mexico

The great wall of trump in the terrain we are talking doesn't make sense for the price in a lot of the area. I support security and resources for technology and don't find a wall by itself immoral at all but foolish conservatives that compare it to prisons actually make it into a moral arguement by going that route

Trump wanted the wall as a giant brand item dick in the dirt and he said we weren't going to pay for it.

This is all about a campaign promise and some conservatives turning on him for not fulfilling it while they had full power for 2 years. In some areas a fancy barrier makes sense but that's not the campaign promise and people's paychecks shouldn't be held hostage by a manbaby president to fulfill a tiny piece of what his actual campaign promise was.

This is not a crisis or a national emergency it's an issue a slow burning long occurring issue that's all it is
