Seems you need to know the difference between crony capitalism and free market capitalism.

I know the difference. Only one of them actually exists; the latter is just a flowery notion used to enable to former.

And capitalism is not the best way to advance anything but profits, you fucking dummies. Capitalism actually restricts tech by withholding advancements till the last product has been milked till dry.

final thought.

Voted for Hillary 6 years ago (primary obv), Obama was merely the (far) lesser of two other evils. in 2016 I do plan on voting for the hero of Benghazi, the great Hillary Clinton who took the fall so that the Mormon man would not get elected.

If me and a group of friends can produce a product that is better, more efficient and more desirable than another company, what stops us from delivering that product to the public for profit other than the miles of red tape in the way put there by corporations who lobby to have laws passed to stop competition?
yet another argument against world government. I read an article a few years back in the Economist about the 4 different ways the future could go. They were all pretty dystopic except the one where life remained as is, spread out across sovereign nation states with their own local policies. It was the one with the most technological advancement.

I took the liberty of removing the question mark from the end of your sentence.

Read it again now, I'll wait.

What you just read was an accurate description of how capitalism functions.

I don't confuse capitalism for government. I recognize government as a means to capitalism's ends.

So now that you have altered my sentence to address that our current government structure is indeed a system of cronyism, do you mind addressing my actual question?
Your question is just some theoretical exercise. I'm not into mental masturbation. I'm into rubbing my dick on things. I'm into reality, because I don't see any value in fantasizing about the ideal economic policy.

People who resort to unattainable ideals do so because they are cowards. It's easy to hold opinions that will never be tested.
