   These mofos annoy me too. I'm a hardline leftist and I assume you're not but that doesn't mean I gotta ban you for that.

     Not far enough as in the means of production should belong to the commons as well, not just land.

     I'd certainly prefer it over our current system but it doesn't go far enough.

     No one should ever profit from owning land. Landlords reap what they do not sow.

     @dushman @Cara @Maholmire I don't necessarily believe this is a truism or a law of nature, but it does happen very often in practice due to things like regulatory capture and rent seeking behaviors.

     Free market just translates to freedom for the rich and jack shit for everyone else

     @dushman @Cara @Maholmire I don't think those are the regulations singled out by many libertarians, trust busting is a key part of many libertarian programs particularly once you meet the more Georgist aligned ones

     You'll always get the most powerful ones bribing their way into advantageous positions, especially with less regulations in the first place. It's an inevitability in capitalism.

     @dushman@den.raccoon.quest @Maholmire@den.raccoon.quest monopolies form due to government interventions, not for lack of them, deregulation done genuinely would lead to more competition which is otherwise stifled in favor of big corporations

     You mean right libertarian? Deregulating corporations will only make things worse and lead to monopolies forming.

     I'unno, I thought socialism was pretty cool in theory albeit botched in practice. I'm a hardline libertarianism myself, so you'll probably find yourself pretty hard pressed to dislike my own politics when they coinside so strongly with Egalitarianism. That's why I find pozzed report(s) like that to be funny as fuck. The sort of people who are quick to call me a fascist are exposing themselves as being authoritarian.

     @dushman@den.raccoon.quest @allison@hidamari.apartments @Maholmire@den.raccoon.quest the means of anything should belong to whoever built of bought them
