RE: We Are All Capitalists

in #capitalism7 years ago

When many individuals come together and produce something then we are still within the realm of capitalism since everyone wants to make profit at the end of the day.

Exactly. I've tried to explain to communists that all economics systems are "capitalist"; the only difference is whether it's laissez-faire or monopolist. There hasn't been one civilization living beyond subsistent levels without using capital.

Sort:  

In the United Arab Emirates, capitalism or socialism? How do you think?

Socialism, communism, fascism,Trumpism and every state-backed economy including the UAE are all just different flavors of collectivist statism; not free market capitalism.

Damn it, you're right 100% !!! But they have such a cool distribution system which is very necessary for capitalist countries))) It would be great to take only positive qualities and connect.

Yeap. Laissez-faire capitalism vs Corporatism.
massive difference.

Then all who can not work will starve (orphans, invalids, mature people ...)

Only if we let them. The beauty of free market is that we get to help people however we want. This is a common fallacy that people have a hard time with. "If we don't have a state, the poor will starve" Well that is a very bleak way of looking at humanity. Even with all the burdens that government has put on us I can confidently say that I have seen a lot more people being helped by other people/churches/charities than I have seen helped by the government and I would bet that you would say the same.

Only time will tell
