@thatguyoverthere@Hyolobrika I listed my examples and also specifically explained why simply removing the gov doesn't solve nearly enough. All you did was calling my examples wrong (with no info) and putting words in my mouth in the other convo
@thatguyoverthere@Hyolobrika All internet-centric companies for a start, where market dominance is determinated by the network effect, with hardware manufacturers following close. Add tge operating system "market". Car manufacturing is a decent example, in the sense that all companies are subsidized equally by state with road infrastructure. In italy there are basically only two TVs: the national public one (RAI) and a private one owned by Berlusconi (Mediaset), similar story in USA. Then Lidl, basically all supermarket chains. The entire videogame industry. The food and beverage industries are also quite concentrated in the hands of companies like Nestlé and Coca Cola.
@thatguyoverthere@Hyolobrika Good, we still have natural monopolies/oligopolies and concentration of capital that you don't address at all. And even if you magically remove any kind of monopoly, congratulations, the system is still unstable and will crash and burn every 10 or so years. Sure the exact companies that lost the most will close down (workers will lose their livelyhoods) just to be be replaced by identical companies not much after.
And even then, a recession destroys and consumes savings in the general population. It's only those who already had money before (enough to not lose too much) that will be able to invest and create new companies or grow existing ones. And since most moneyed people are also buisness owners, even if they create new companies they won't compete with eachother. In both cases, capital accumulates itself. It reproduces
@thatguyoverthere@Hyolobrika Capital needs no govement to concentrate. Otherwise you would need new market competitors to sprung up periodically, and who's gonna finance that? Yup the banks are ready to put their money behind a new competitor who will totally take out google and apple. Just ask microsoft's phone division.
@Hyolobrika Lol I wish. "Debated" the type at least twice. According to both the market would automagically regulate itself and megacorpo disappear if we just kill the eagle or make it "small"
While it's nice to think you could give these people a place to live and they would appreciate and take care of it, the truth is that they'll just trash it. This is what has happened every single time somebody has attempted this. > The problem is that the majority of the homeless aren't just people down on their luck like they want us to imagine, they're non-functional individuals who up until recently were locked away in asylums.
They alredy have your ID, so honestly them also knowing your IP and ISP is kind of irrelevant in comparison
Whether you favor capitalism or not, cryptocurrency clearly avoids many of its shortcomings.
Does it? Crypto has seen a centralization similar to regular currency, with the creation of crypto-banks and such. Honestly I fail to see how it's significantly different than regular money.
@LukeAlmighty@matrix It really is a band aid because it took them a bit to notice that using the gram as base unit for day to day stuff was kinda 'tard
