    Is the example you’re thinking of but can’t post real?

    When you phrase it like that I literally can’t think of a single example of Capitalism that doesn’t end up like the game of Monopoly…

      No what I am saying is you need to relearn basic history if you think every capitalist nation has become fascist. Only two to five have depending on how you define fascism. That leaves 150 or so that haven’t.

        Nah actually you need the history lesson if you still Capitalism = Mercantilism

        Capitalism has existed less than 100 years

          Really, capitalism started sometime after 1925? And yet Das Kapital was written about 150 years ago, building on David Ricardo’s early 19th century work and Adam Smith’s 18th century work.

          Capitalism goes back at least as far as the English enclosure of the commons, which left peasants with no option but to sell their labor to burghers, AKA the bourgeoisie. The American Revolution was a bourgeois revolution[1].

              A Wikipedia-level understanding of the history of capitalism shows that this isn’t “revisionist history.”

              I’ve been here ten times longer than you, and I don’t intend to go anywhere. In my experience people who fling insults and bot accusations everywhere they go don’t usually last very long. You’ve already managed to get yourself permabanned from several communities and at least one instance.

                Find more alts to downvote me it doesn’t make Capitalism and Mercantilism the same thing fascist scum.

                You guys are doing a pathetic job making progress on this front. The CCP will take your organs if you don’t start doing a better job.

                Too bad you can’t ban me from this space tankie.
